Who would not want 42MP, 10fps, great DR and full MF/AF/AE/Video/apps hi-tech features in a fair market prize. There must be ton of switchers waiting for this play ground establishment model. Imo, A7Riii will be sold like a hot cake. Very good move Sony.
It's a great camera for anyone switching systems or upgrading from one of the older models. If you already own an A7RII then it's a smallish upgrade. I'm in the latter category, so what I'd be getting is essentially:
Dual card slots. Huge benefit for doing paid work.
Af joystick. Big improvement in usability for the way I work.
Bigger battery. Not personally that bothered (have a lot of FW50s already).
10 fps. Nice but I wouldn't use it much.
Improved AF - always nice to have.
Pixel shift. Nice but wouldn't use it much.
Video improvements. Don't use video very much but maybe that will change.
Some minor features/improvements (buffer, speed, electronic shutter in burst mode, anti-flicker).
So the big ones are dual card slots and AF. I said before the announcement I would upgrade for these alone, and I still will. But what I really wanted was:
60MP - that gives 24MP in crop mode and gives all the advantages of APS-C and FF in one body.
Faster electronic shutter - maybe not as fast as the A9, but an improvement over
ISO 50 / deeper well depth. Despite what Sony have said, it looks like DR will be pretty much the same as the mkII.
