It’s always a treat when Chris and I each get a copy of a new camera when we shoot an episode, so not only can Chris take photos and video, but I can film the entire episode on the camera in question. That was the case when we went to Sedona for our A7R III field test. You can find out Chris’ thoughts on the A7R III in the embedded video, but I wanted to give my impressions using the camera the way I do every week, shooting our show.

Ian Routley is a nature and travel photographer from Lillooet, BC. He grew up with a father who loved photography, and he started carrying a camera around as a very young boy. “My interest has waxed and waned over the years.
