Condition:
This is a used Sony A7S III full-frame camera in excellent working condition. The optics and the sensor are clean and the body is free of any marks. This is the camera body only and does not include a box.
This is missing the cover on the battery compartment; however, there is a push-in, spring-loaded tab that keeps the battery securely in place. This also includes a battery charger with second battery, and a plug-in "battery" (as shown in the photos).

For visual trailblazers
With extreme full-frame movie performance including high sensitivity (expanded ISO up to 409600), 15-stop wide dynamic range, 4K 120p2, fast and dependable autofocusing, and extra-strong image stabilization, the α7S III again raises the bar for movie makers.
Sensitivity, speed and supreme imagery
The Alpha 7S III features a newly developed 12.1-megapixel1 Full-frame Backside-illuminated (BSI) Exmor R CMOS sensor that delivers sensitivity, speed and superior images and movie. It takes full advantage of the large pixels and BSI copper wiring structure to more than double the sensitivity and readout speed2. In addition, this new Exmor R sensor features Sony’s acclaimed fast hybrid autofocus with 759 phase detection AF points and 92% coverage. The high sensitivity also allows it to autofocus in light as low as EV-611.
New BIONZ XR processing engine delivers 8x more processing power
A new BIONZ XR processing engine delivers 8x more processing power than previous models. It not only supports the high sensitivity and wide dynamic range that has become hallmarks of the “S” series, but also high-speed features such as real-time AF tracking and up to 10fps continuous shooting of more than 1000 RAW still images.
