Sony A7 Mark III Body + Sigma 24-70mm F/2.8 DG DN Art Sony FE mount

The Sony A7 Mark III Body is a full frame mirrorless camera that is perfect for professional photographers and videographers. This camera gives you even more speed and an even higher image quality than with the predecessors from the A7 series. The camera has a 24.2 MP back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS image sensor and offers the option to shoot videos in 4K resolution. With no fewer than 693 phase detection points, which cover 93% of the image, and 425 contrast AF points, you benefit from fast, highly accurate focusing. The impressive ISO range of 100-51200 (extendable to 50-204,800) also makes the A7 Mark III an excellent option in low-light situations. With the high-quality XGA OLED Tru-Finder viewfinder, you can keep a close eye on your subject and even the smallest details are reproduced lifelike. Plus, you can choose between 'High' or 'Standard' image quality for both the viewfinder and the camera's monitor.

Over and above taking photos, the Sony A7 Mark III Body is also a great piece of kit for making professional videos. The camera does this in 4K quality across the entire width of the full frame sensor. The new HLG (Hybrid Log Gamma) image profile supports an HDR workflow that allows you to play your images in lifelike quality on HDR-compatible TVs. For more colour gradation, you can use the S-Log2 and S-Log3 functions. Prefer to shoot in Full HD? If so, you are guaranteed 120 fps at a maximum of 100 Mbps. This is ideal for when you want to edit footage and, say, want to include slow motion images in your videos.

Among many other things, what makes the Sony A7 Mark III so suitable for the professional photographer is the dual memory card slot. This allows you to shoot for longer periods of time without having to switch the memory card in your camera. Plus, the battery life is up to 710 images per charge. With the extensive 'My Menu' function, you can store up to 30 different menu options and retrieve them as and when you need them. The ideal way to quickly access your favourite settings and options! The mirrorless camera is also dust & splash proof, so you needn't immediately pop the camera away in bad weather, or if you're in a humid environment.

Sigma 24-70mm F/2.8 DG DN (A) Sony FE mount

The Sigma 24-70 mm F2.8 DG DN (A) is a versatile wide-angle to short telephoto zoom lens. The lens features an F/2.8 constant maximum aperture. Making it the ideal lens for Sony's full frame mirrorless cameras. The clear design allows for working in a variety of lighting conditions, and also provides greater control over depth of field. Plus, the optical design ensures high sharpness, improved clarity and colour fidelity. This can be achieved by low dispersion and aspherical elements, which significantly reduce many aberrations. To improve contrast and colour rendering, both Super Multi-Layer and Nano Porous Coatings have been applied. This means lens flare and ghosting are also suppressed under strong lighting conditions.

This lens also includes a stepping AF motor, which delivers fast, precise and remarkably quiet autofocus performance. Also, with a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2.9, this lens is a good alternative for close-up photography. The pleasant bokeh quality is due to the 11-blade aperture. Do you want to use the lens in inclement weather? If so, this is the lens you need!
