Honestly, the best way to get real value on the a7S III is looking for bundles at authorized dealers rather than just a flat discount. I got mine last year and was really happy with how it worked out by focusing on the extras you actually need to make the camera functional out of the box. Here are a few technical things to look for when you're hunting for deals:

• Look for bundles that include a Sony CEA-G160T 160GB CFexpress Type A Memory Card. You absolutely need these high-speed cards for the 4K 120p bitrates, and they usually cost a fortune separately.
• Check for an extra Sony NP-FZ100 Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery in the kit. I've found that having a spare is the best way to stay safe during long shoots even though the battery life is decent.
• Make sure the site is an official Sony dealer. Im really satisfied with my purchase because I stuck to reputable shops that offer a solid return window and a real US warranty. Sometimes places like Focus Camera or Adorama will throw in a bag or a fast card for the same price as the Sony Alpha a7S III Mirrorless Camera elsewhere, which is definitely the smarter way to go if you want everything to work well from day one.
