Years ago the compact camera market completely disappeared from the face of the earth, although we can still find the odd model on the market, yes, old models, since most manufacturers are betting on another format much more profitable and with more attractive for users.
Most manufacturers of compact cameras have had to reinvent themselves in order to continue offering devices in this sector. To do this, they have gone from offering inexpensive fully automatic cameras or offer us manual models, of a higher quality and versatility that can compete, bridging the gap with traditional reflex cameras where Canon and Nikon are still kings.
In recent years, Sony has managed to carve a niche in the cake of the greats, launching different models with the A9 with mirror and the A7 without mirror. While the Japanese multinational is following its own path in the smartphone sector, following a trend that no other manufacturer follows, the photography division continues to evolve setting trends and as proof we have the latest model that has been presented within the framework of the MWC, which although it is true is intended for telephony, the attention that this contest has is difficult to obtain in any other way.
Sony's latest novelty in the photography market is the Sony A7 III, a mirrorless camera that allows us to record videos in 4K HDR quality, it has a 24 mpx sensorwhich is supported by the backlit CEMOS Exmor R, which together with the BIONZ X processor allows us to achieve a sensitivity of up to 204.8000 ISO type.
Being a mirrorless, it does not have a traditional viewer, which in theory it would be a drag on battery life, but quite the opposite, since with a single charge it is capable of making up to 700 shots. It has a burst mode that allows us to take 10 captures per second with a limit of 117 images.
Like most high-end cameras, whether they are SLR or mirrorless, only leather will be available for 2.300 euros, although we can buy this model with some of the kits that the company offers you and that has a somewhat higher price.
I never recommend buying a camera with a kit that includes an object, since in most cases, the objective leaves a lot to be desired and in the end we always choose to sell it and acquire a higher quality one.
