This Black Friday weekend, we have seen great deals on lots of cameras but this is the best offer we have seen for the Sony A7 III, saving you a massive $860.
Save $860 and get the versatile Sony A7III for $1140 from Walmart today.
In our review of the Sony A7III, we thought it was excellent for low-light photography and astro. Before it was superseded by the Sony A7 IV (which is also discounted to $1860 at Walmart), it was in our best camera guide and was the best choice for mirrorless cameras.
This particular deal is for the body only but if you are just starting out or do not own any lenses already, there are also discounted bundles available such as the Sony A7 III plus a 28-70mm lens for $1498, reduced from $1999 at Amazon.

While the Sony A7 III may not feature all the latest advancements of newer models, its versatility makes it a compelling choice for entry-level photographers who enjoy exploring various styles. Its strong performance in the field provides ample room for growth and learning which is why we think this is such a great deal saving you $860.
Another fantastic selling point of the Sony A7 III is the impressive battery life. During our review of the Sony A7 III, we had no problems when taking it out for a full day of shooting — it is significantly better than its predecessor and amounts to around 600 shots. We also named it the best budget full-frame Sony camera.
It is not only great at stills photography; you can shoot in 4K video too — this is more than enough for most users, especially those at entry level.
If you are not sure if this is the camera for you but you have been eyeing up a Sony camera, we suggest our best Sony cameras guide to help you make an informed decision about the one that is best for you.
