Here we are comparing two cameras with different body types: Pentax KP, which was introduced in January 2017 is a Advanced DSLR camera with a 24.0MP APS-C sensor whereas Sony A7 III, which was introduced in February 2018 is a Pro Mirrorless camera with a 24.0MP Full frame sensor. There is 13 months difference between KP and A7 III so we don't expect to see a huge technology difference between these two cameras but it would still give an advantage to younger A7 III, especially in sensor tech.
Despite some fundamental differences of these two body types, Mirrorless cameras are becoming serious alternatives to DSLR cameras thanks to their size/weight advantages and recent improvements in their focus speeds , which makes this comparison even more interesting.
Here is a brief look at the main features of the Pentax KP and Sony A7 III before getting into our more detailed comparison.
Let's read on in the following sections in order to better understand in detail how the Pentax KP and Sony A7 III compare and hopefully end up with enough arguments to decide which one is better for you.
