What size LCD is on the Sony A7S III?
The Sony Alpha 7S III features a 3.0-inch rear LCD display, which offers a resolution of 1,440,000 dots. LCD-size is measured across the diagonal of the screen. Having a large and detailed display on the back is convenient for live view framing, image review, and settings control. Naturally, the size of the LCD is correlated with the size of the camera, as a bigger camera body will offer more space on the back to place a sizeable rear screen.

One feature that differentiates the A7S III from many older cameras is in-body image stabilization (IBIS). The A7S III reduces the risk of handshake-induced blur with all attached lenses, while cameras without IBIS have to rely on optical image stabilization in OIS-equipped lenses to achieve the same effect.
