Hey everyone,

I found a used Sony Alpha A7 III mirrorless camera being sold locally for $550, and it comes with a Rode on-camera microphone, battery, SD card, and looks to be in excellent condition based on the photos.

I’m mainly looking to get into vlogging and some casual content creation. I know the A7 III is more of a hybrid/photography powerhouse, but at this price it seems like a steal especially with the mic included.

For anyone who has used the A7 III Is it good for vlogging in 2025? How’s the autofocus, stabilization, and low-light for video?

Is $550 a solid bargain, or should I look for something newer/smaller for vlogs?

Appreciate any advice before I pull the trigger! ????
