I’ve just been to try out both the a73 and a7r3, going in with a view of preferring the regular 3 to the r as it’s features are almost the same and significantly cheaper.
The viewfinder on the r was so much better than the regular, much much nicer to use. That coupled with the almost doubled megapixels is making me sway to the r now. Will have to go grey for it through as way over my budget!
I was thinking of holding out for full reviews of the new Canon EOS R but now i really like the Sony, so much smaller than the alternatives also (but not much lighter as has been mentioned)
Currently using the A73 but wish it had the A7R3 EVF!!
Buy an a9 then.
Is life really that easy for you?!
I don’t care how it sounds to you. I don’t see any benefits and my results speak for themselves using my technique.
I need fast accurate AF which is what I’ve got with a well lit optical display.
I didn’t say they don’t exist just that I can’t see them. Alan has probably explained the reason why I’m not seeing any benefit but as I don’t shoot at wide apertures I’ll stick with my system. If you think it’s worth using rock on, it’s your time and your camera.

You complained about it
There is little to fault 5D 3 with.
Lenses will adapt to Sony but wideangles reportedly will have sharpness issues so that will make you buy native. That's a negative.
Body size, ergonomics and lack of real viewfinder are huge loss.
But you getter better sensor should you need to print as large. I wouldn't mind that all.
Cost to change. Probably quite a lot...
I would have it as a second higher res camera but not my sole outfit from my current standpoint. I absolutely struggle to compose without OVF.
On the contrary I avoided moving to a camera with EVF for years because I didn’t think it would be as good as OVF - I was so wrong I prefer the EVF on my Fuji.You're not the only one who finds using an EVF so very unsatisfactory compared an OVF.........

Jim, it's about time you organised a meet! I'll let you try the A73 to see what you think
I moved from a 5D3 to mirrorless (Fuji in my case) in 2013, having been with Canon in various guises for many years. My motivation was size, as I have a very similar experience to you in Florida with the family. For me, the change is a positive one, and although, now I've acquired more lenses on Fuji, the weight difference is less significant there are several other factors that mean I will stick to Mirrorless in the future:BTW, I took my 5D3 and a couple of lenses to Las Vegas & the Grand Canyon last September. I used my mobile phone more than the camera.
I've been looking at mirrorless cameras for some time with a view to replacing my Canon 5DMk3. The camera I am considering is a Sony A7R III, and will be used as an all-rounder, but mostly for family portraits & landscape. Initially I will continue to make use of my Canon L series lenses with an adapter, until such time that I can afford the Sony lenses. Is the Sony a better camera? My main drivers for the change is a better camera and weight savings. Is this a good move or not?
