Sony A7R IVa vs Sony a9 III

When comparing Sony a9 III and Sony A7R IVa, which one is better?

1. Compare lens mount

Both Sony A7R IVa and Sony a9 III have the same lens mount; Sony E. This means that lenses with this mount will fit both cameras.

Winner: Tied

Regarding lens mount: The camera's lens mount determines which type of lenses you can attach to the camera. Popular lens mounts include Canon EF and RF, Nikon Z and F, Sigma L, Micro Four Thirds, and the professional PL mount.

2. Internal Raw Recording



Winner: Tied — Neither have this feature

Regarding internal raw recording: The ability to record raw video internally is found in cameras such as Blackmagic models. It takes up more storage space but is also more flexible afterwards. We don't think internal raw video recording is a requirement.
