It seems that more and more mirrorless camera makers are focusing on hybrid mirrorless cameras in 2018, which makes sense as a growing number of customers seem to be interested in taking both pictures and videos. Sony is leading the pack when it comes to hybrid cameras and Sony A7III is a prime example of that. It features a 24MP full-frame sensor packed with 693-Point AF system, 10 fps continuous shooting, 4K video recording, as well as 120fps slow-motion recording at 1080p. Just like the A9 and A7RIII with which it shares the body, the Sony A7III also features dual SD card slots, one of which supports UHS-II.
