From Imaging Resource review
It’s almost a matter of preference which of the remaining three does the best job with sharpness, and a lot of that has to do with color. The A7R III has a crispness to the blues in the eye that the other two seem to lack, resulting in a sort of grey overtone from both the Nikon and the Fuji. What may be the most impressive is how well the new Sony FE 24-105 f/4 hangs with Nikon’s new 24-70mm and Fuji’s 63mm.

From TechRadar review:
If Nikon thought it was going to have it all its own way with the D850, it should think again. Sony has taken one of our favorite mirrorless cameras and bolstered the performance to make the new α7R III a much more capable and well-rounded offering. The heady mix of high resolution and high performance is bound to help this camera appeal to an even broader range of photographers.
From The Phoblographer review:
In terms of image quality, the α7R III is truly capable of some of the best looking images you are going to see coming out of a full frame interchangeable lens camera. Standard still images are gorgeous with outstanding dynamic range, tonality, and low noise. In the Pixel Shift mode you are able to get some of the most color rich and detailed images that we have ever seen, and while this feature is useless for wedding and action photographers – for still life and product photographers this feature will be go-to.
