Sony A7 iii Review

May 29, 2018

[sc name="affiliate disclosure"]I decided to do a Sony A7 iii review because of the positive appraisal it has been receiving. The Sony A7 iii is the replacement for the A7 ii which was released in 2014. In terms of other entry level full frame cameras, the Sony A7 iii follows the Nikon D750 and the recently released Canon 6D Mark II.

Who this Product is For

The Sony A7iii is a full frame level camera. Because of its price and features the camera is perfect for the aspiring professional photographer or videographer.

Price

At the time of this writing, the Sony A7 iii cost $1998.

Additional Costs

There are few items that will require additional costs for the Sony A7 iii. Most noteworthy is the lack of a battery charger for the Sony A7 iii. Sony reportedly did this to keep the cost down. Sony sells an official battery charger, Sony BC-QZ1 Battery Charger, which is somewhat overpriced at $88.In addition to the battery charger, if you plan on shooting video on the Sony A7 iii you will need a UHS-I / UHS-II type memory card. The Extreme PRO 64GB worked great in my testing with the Sony A7 iii.

What You Get

Compared to the previous A7ii, Sony has made improvements to the Sony A7 iii. These improvements include for the A7 iii include a longer battery life, lasting around 610 shots. In addition to longer battery life, the camera has two sd camera slots. Some of the things I enjoyed in this camera:

  • APS-C Mode.
  • Silent Shooting.
  • 4K Video.

What You Won’t Get

Similar to what I wrote in my Sony A7rIII Review, the lack of an intervalometer in Sony's latest camera continues to surprise me. There are of course workarounds such as using the S&Q mode but I wish Sony would add a firmware update for this feature. Outside of the S&Q mode workaround, I found the Cascable app to work amazing for timelapses. Unfortunately this app is not yet available on the Android system.The body of the Sony A7 iii resembles the A7r iii. As a result of these changes to the body, the A7iii is also heavier compared to the outgoing Sony A7ii.

Summary: Sony A7 iii Review

In conclusion, I think the Sony A7 iii is a fantastic camera that met all my expectations. The A7iii seems like a mini A7rIII outside of the 42-megapixel sensor. I would have loved for Sony to include a fully articulated screen however with the increased autofocus and facial detection features assist in not needing a screen to see yourself. If you're in the market for a new camera the A7 iii is a great choice.

Three Amazing Wordpress Plugins for Site Performance

May 21, 2018

When you first build a WordPress site, there are a number of ways to assist and grow it. Below are three amazing Wordpress plugins for site performance that will improve the experience of your website. These three plugins will assist in the marketing, discovery, and visitor experience for your website.

  • Statistics / Analytics Plugin
  • Caching plugin
  • SEO plugin

Statistics / Analytics Plugin

Statistics and Analytics help keep track of how your website is doing. It's also a great way to determine a particular market strategy for your content. For instance, if you write blog posts and find out most of your traffic comes from reviews then you should continue writing more reviews. Or if your web traffic comes from one particular social media site such as Facebook, you might look into devoting your other resources into Twitter or Instagram.MONSTERINSIGHTS is a simple plugin that integrates with Google Analytics. I wrote a review for how to use MONSTERINSIGHTS to integrate into Google Analytics that can be viewed here.

Caching Plugin

Another important element of WordPress is having a Caching Plugin for your website. Having a caching plugin assists in optimizing your website's load time. Website visitors care about speed and a slow running website may lose visitors. The W3 Total Cache is a great plugin to have on your Wordpress site.

Seo Plugin

Yoast SEO is an amazing plugin to use for your WordPress site. Yoast SEO audits your pages & blog post to make sure you're content is optimized for SEO. You can read more about this plugin in my Yoast review.

Summary: Three Amazing Wordpress Plugins for Site Performance

In conclusion, these three amazing WordPress plugins are a great addition to your WordPress site. I try to make sure I include these plugins into every build of a WordPress site. Using these plugins help in making sure your website is running as effectively as possible.
