Comparison – Canon EOS R Vs Sony A7III Camera

If you are thinking to buy or your decision is pending then do not worry, we have got some point in helping you choose between your next full-frame mirrorless camera in this critical review of Canon EOS R vs Sony A 7 III.

If you are looking for a reasonably priced mirrorless camera in the market then you may have noticed that the competition is really tough and close.

Canon EOS R and Sony a7III are not the latest touchscreen mirrorless cameras released but the fact is they are really powerful and created on most technical features.

Below you will find the crucial differences which will help you make your decision easier and faster.

Key Differences – Canon EOS R & Sony A7III

1. Viewfinder

Buying a mirrorless full-frame or any camera is interesting when you see the viewfinder for the first time. You are either let down or amazed.

The quality of the viewfinder in the Sony camera is not good enough and there doesn’t have the wow factor to make two thousand dollars cash to pay for it till you really evaluate whether it is the best buy and worth it.

Canon EOS R on the other hand will tickle your mind looking through the dreamlike viewfinder, especially if you are already seen what Sony has to offer and looking at it after that.

2. Rear LCD Screen

The Canon EOS R and the Sony A7 III both have to articulate rear LCD touch screens, but they have considerable differences between them.

If you already own a Sony mirrorless camera, you will probably find the Sony A7 III’s 3″ touch screen with 921,600 DPI better, and it seems fantastic till you see Canon’s rear LCD system.

Canon 2,100,000 DPI with 3.2″ LCD blows Sony’s screen less attractive in size and resolution.

3. Video

Today even expert photographers shoot some videos to go along with their photos. Both cameras- Sony and Canon offer 4K video for the web but here also with some good differences.

Capturing  wide landscape shots with your Canon EOS R video is going to accommodate wider lenses – which means spending a good amount of money

Whereas Sony captures 4K video at 24p and 6K and downsamples to get with 5K resolution with a 1.2x crop to provide 4K video at 30p. Video resolution of Sony is professional levels and above Canon’s video results definitely.

4. Sensor and Processor

Canon’s resolution is a 30.3mp full-frame CMOS sensor (36x24mm) with DIGIC 8 processor and the same size as Sony’s A7 III 24.2mp full-frame Exmore R CMOS sensor (35.6×23.8mm) with BIONZ X processor. A low pass filter is included in both cameras’ sensors.

But the resolution of the Canon camera does not matter in this competition when the full-frame sensor size is the same

5. Battery Life

Battery life is an important feature but you either care about it a lot, or you don’t care at all and tend to buy more batteries.

Canon EOS R full-frame camera uses the LP-E6N lithium-ion battery 1865mAh and is good for more than 300 shots per charge.

On the other hand, Sony A7 III operates 2280mAh which they rate as good for more than 700 shots in a single charge.

Hence, the Sony camera’s battery life is more than 22% bigger.

6. Image Stabilization

You get it or not but the fact is Canon doesn’t have image stabilization whereas Sony’s a7III has it.

Sony A7 III has the superiority of this feature over Canon because it has the feature of in-camera sensor-based optical stabilization of 5-axis.

7. Price

Canon EOS R is around $200 which is cheaper than the Sony A7 III (Check price on our SHOP).

LAST WORDS

Both Canon and Sony have tough and close competitors. Many consider Sony the mirrorless full-frame company to beat Canon, but it also offers a wider lenses selection.

Best Sony Camera 2021: Full-frame, APS-C and Compact

Over the last few years, Sony has mounted a strong challenge to the dominant duo of Canon and Nikon, overtaking Nikon to become the number two player. The best Sony cameras come in all shapes and sizes, from high-speed sports shooters to high-resolution mirrorless models, to highly compact pocket cameras. So the best one is ultimately the one that’s right for you and your needs!  

They’ve largely achieved this success by concentrating on the more premium, higher end of each market – whether that be full-frame, APS-C or compact – and delivering the most high-tech product that they possibly can at that time.

This is a common trait that applies to all of the Sony cameras in this list, from the breath-taking new Alpha 1 full-frame mirrorless to the excellent A6100 APS-C model, to the niche Cyber-shot RX0 II action camera.

What is the Best Sony Camera in 2021?

Here’s our list of the best Sony cameras that you can buy in 2021:

Best Sony Mirrorless Camera 2021

Sony don’t make DSLR cameras, unlike their main rivals, Nikon and Canon, instead choosing to concentrate on developing an extensive range of Alpha-branded full-frame mirrorless cameras.

This has resulted in them being the number one full-frame mirrorless camera manufacturer for a long time now, although they’ve recently faced some stiff competition from the likes of Canon’s EOS R system and Nikon’s Z-series.

Sony make a full-frame camera for seemingly every market niche – the A7R for landscapes, A9 for sports, A7S for video, A7 for all-round, and the A7C as a super-compact option.

And in January 2021 they launched the flagship Alpha 1, a stunning camera that takes all the best features from the other Alpha series models and combines them into one 8K, 50 megapixel monster.

Best Sony Compact Camera 2021

As cheaper compact cameras have declined in popularity over the last few years, Sony have switched tack to making the best possible compacts instead, whether they be for recording video, stills, action, or wildlife.

The cream of the Cyber-shot crop are are undoubtedly expensive compared to their main rivals, but they are also invariably the best in their particular class.

Whether it be the ZV-1 for vloggers, RX10 IV for wildlife, RX100 IV for all-round use , or the RX0 II for action, they all share one thing in common – to try to be the absolute best that they can.

Sony Camera Buyer’s Guide

A selection of the Sony cameras tested for this article.

If you want a short version of the reviews below, here are my recommendations of what Sony camera body to invest in:

  Want the best resolution and image quality? Get the Sony a7RIII or the latest Sony a7RIV – the 42.4 (or 61!) megapixels files will leave your jaw on the floor.

  Want the best AF performance of any camera on the market? Get the Sony a9. Any shots you miss will definitely just be user-error!

  Want the best full frame performance out of the smallest body? Get the Sony RX1R II, which also happens to be the most tactile, involved and enjoyable Sony camera I’ve ever shot with.

  Want the best all-round mirrorless interchangeable lens camera of the year? Get the Sony a7III – incredible performance with an attractive price to match.

  Want the best APS-C sensor performance? Get the Sony a6400, which has the added benefit of a front-facing screen for vlogging/selfies.

  Want the best performing compact that fits in your pocket? Get the Sony RX100 VI, a compact marvel with a wide angle to long range zoom lens.
