The A7 III is two generations old (replaced by the A7 IV, with the A7 V now shipping). It remains a capable full-frame body with class-leading battery life, but the video and autofocus are dated.
What to do now: Best bought used as a budget full-frame entry. Compare new, used, and refurbished prices, and weigh a used A7 IV before deciding.
This is still well above better recent buying opportunities.
