Purchasing a camera isn’t cheap – or, at least, purchasing a great camera typically isn’t cheap. But one of my favorite tricks to getting a good price on an excellent camera is to skip the trendy newly launched cameras and instead look at cameras that have already been replaced by a new model, like the Sony a7 III.
The Sony a7 III launched in 2018 and was later succeeded by the Sony a7 IV in 2021. But even though the camera is now more than six years old, the a7 III specifications are still pretty decent – or at least they are for a camera that can be regularly found for under $1,500 / £1,500 / AU$2,200.
