RE: Which would you chose - Sony A7R III or A7 III
I did a ton of research into these when I was shopping for cameras. From what I read, the huge megapixel amount is both good and bad. On the plus side, you can shoot in a LOT lower light, because you can't even see the ISO effect on the pixels after you resize. On the negative side, that can make you lazy, because you don't really need to have everything perfect since you're not likely going to be blowing it up to billboard size.
I ended up deciding on getting the older alpha a7 II, and then waiting for a future release, since I didn't feel like I really needed the upgrade, and it was a lot more in price. Still haven't gotten it though, since that was right before the crash, so waiting for crypto to return.
The A7 II is still a fantastic camera so not a bad choice at all. I know what you mean about the higher mp and reducing the files. Apparently with the smaller sensor on the A7 III it still beats out the A7R III in lower light, especially for video. I'm starting to think my mind might be made up here.
