Sony A7 mark III body
The Sony A7 mark III body is a full-frame mirrorless camera that is perfect for professional photographers and videographers. With this camera you benefit from even more speed and even higher image quality than its predecessors in the A7 series. The camera features a 24.2 MP back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS image sensor and can shoot video in 4K resolution. With no fewer than 693 phase-detection points covering 93% of the frame, and 425 contrast-detection AF points, you benefit from fast and highly accurate focusing. The impressive ISO range of 100-51200 (expandable to 50-204800) means the A7 mark III also performs excellently in low-light situations. The high-quality XGA OLED Tru-Finder viewfinder keeps your subject clearly in view and reproduces even the smallest details true to life. You can also choose between 'High' or 'Standard' image quality for both the viewfinder and the monitor.
Besides taking photos, the Sony A7 mark III body is also exceptionally suited to recording professional video. It does so in 4K quality across the full width of the full-frame sensor. The new HLG (Hybrid Log Gamma) picture profile supports an HDR workflow, so you can play back your footage in lifelike quality on HDR-compatible TVs. For more colour grading latitude you can use the S-Log2 and S-Log3 functions. Prefer to shoot in Full HD? Then you are assured of 120fps at up to 100 Mbps, ideal when you want to edit your footage and add slow-motion shots to your videos.
One of the things that makes the Sony A7 mark III so suitable for the professional photographer is the dual memory card slot, which lets you shoot for longer without having to swap the card in your camera. The battery also delivers up to 710 shots per charge. With the extensive 'My Menu' function you can save up to 30 different menu options and call them up whenever you need them, the ideal way to quickly access your favourite settings and options. The mirrorless camera is also dust- and splash-resistant, so you don't have to put it away straight away in bad weather or in a damp environment.
Sony FE 100-400mm f/5.6-8 OSS
The Sony FE 100-400mm f/5.6-8 OSS brings super-telephoto reach within every photographer's grasp. The lens weighs just 654 grams, so you take an impressive telephoto range with you without weighing down your backpack, ideal for wildlife, bird and travel photography.
Thanks to compatibility with the Sony 1.4x and 2x teleconverters (SEL14TC and SEL20TC), you can extend the reach as needed to 560mm or even 800mm, for those moments when subjects seem just out of range. The adjustable focus limiter is especially handy when shooting through a fence or other obstacle, such as during a zoo visit or from the stands at a sports match: the lens then doesn't keep hunting between foreground and background and keeps focusing effortlessly on your subject. The Optical SteadyShot image stabilisation compensates for motion blur, so you keep capturing sharp images handheld even at maximum telephoto reach.
The lens is built to go wherever the adventure takes you. A zoom lock prevents the lens from extending on its own while walking or travelling, and the non-rotating filter thread keeps your polarising or ND filter in the same position at all times, even while focusing or zooming. The dust- and moisture-resistant design ensures that changing weather conditions are no obstacle, while the circular aperture with nine blades produces natural, smooth bokeh.
