I REALLY liked the Sony a7r2, but a few things forced me to return it (If you remember that video). Then the A6300/a6500 came along with many of the same issues but were just as good in many ways for video and at less than half the price making the a7r2 not worth it for me. Now the a7R3 is offering a ton of usability improvements and video quality as well so I had to order one for video.
where is the link for the facebook group?
what lav mic are you using
Max I have just tested the new A7RIII today! We compared it against the GH5 and OM-D 1 II, the Olympus crushed the stabilisation on the A7RIII with the new Olympus dual IBIS lens I think the GH5 was about the same with the Leica 12-60 lens and the Sony with the 24-105, although it think the GH5 was a bit better because of dual IBIS 2.
$3,198.00 for the body only Is too expensive Max. It costs more then Black Magic Production Camera which have an ultimate look for film with using both raw and pro-res format on 4k and have a global shutter. Also, I heard that it was used in the first "The Avengers" film.
Maybe if the Sony was $1000 less, coming with a decent lens, and had a global shutter it would consider a good offer. But as it is, not reason to bother....
I have the SmallHD Focus will this still work on the A7Riii without a dummy battery and will SmallHD be coming out with a new dummy battery for this model camera?
in 6 months - why i am selling my A7riii and buying a A7siii instead
Yep sony made another camera from the parts bin lol
Possibly, but I’ll likely be adding to to the a7r3
Lol man ur so funny all tourubers make videos like u say
I will be adding the a7s3 to the a7r3. easily.
I bet we'll see an A9s next with 10bit 4K60 and a Global Shutter.
Finally! Somebody who doesn't just say "A7R for photo, A7S for video". They are both incredible for video and have different advantages over each other. Waiting to see what the A7S3 brings. I'll either be trading in both of my A7S2's for 2 of the A7S3's or 1 each of the A7R3 & A7S3. Love that autofocus, dynamic range, and sampling from the A7R3!!
Looking forward to your coverage. Great video.
A7R3 Pre Ordered right with you Max. This camera is in beast mode.
Grabbing one as well for both photos and video..mbut I sure can't wait for A7s3 specs. Nice job.
You're a very nice guy with what seems to be very honest opinions. Keep it up.
Going to invest on this camera soon, I'm currently using A6300. Thanks for all the info.
Yes this video answered all my answers AND some! Thanks so much!
@Max Yuryev THANK YOU for talking about the video aspect of this...
Hey Max. Thanks for the video! Still no flip out screen!!!!!!!
Great video. TKS
Thank you, good video!
Max after having used both a7r3 and gh5 can you tell us a bit how a7r3 performs on video vs gh5? Is the stabilization useable for professional content without a gimbal? Is the video quality better than a6500 a7s2? How does it compare with gh5 (details of your impressions please) Thank you!!!!
Awesome video! Thanks for your estimated guess on the a7s3. Do you think it will finally have a flip up/out screen. Can’t wait for the a7r3 hands on review!
Upgrading my A7R2 soon then :) Thanks Max!!
I'm gonna wait for the overheating test first 😂
that1overheatingcameraguy will take care of that for us ;-)
Hey Max you don't think it might be worth to wait for the a7siii?
Thank You for this video, I just wanna see a A7SIII with an articulating screen, improved auto focus and battery, and I'm all in.
Thanks for the tips! The no dim diplay in 120fps and 4k sounds good! Do you maybe know if the 120fps is 2.2 times cropped like in the A7SIi? Looking forward to your hands on review
Almost 100% sure its 1080 120 no crop
Pretty interested in this for photo video as well. Been waiting for the right cameras to come from sony and i'm thinking an a7r3 and a7s3 could be the best dual camera setup for photo video. Jumped into fuji initially coming from canon and started getting back into video and picked up a gh5 and now loving it, but want something more exciting for photo and i'm thinking the r3 is that.
This is the best video I've seen so far for (p)reviewing the video capabilities of the A7RIII ! I don't suspect I will see a better one. This might also be the best hybrid photo/video camera for video thus far for most applications. I'll still enjoy my Lumix's and Canon 70D('s smooth video autofocus) though.
oh c'mon let's all wait for a7s3 :)
Nah, the A7... 000. Yup, I do hope something like an A7000 could be a thing.
To break away from the current poor APS-C body design that the A6x00 series has.
Let's change it up a bit! Just gimme something along the lines of either Panasonic GH5 and Olympus E-M1 Mark II, throw in an APS-C sensor, release a bunch of new and exciting APS-C compact primes and take ma moniez!!1!
Shiznutsz I’ve been asking for this since before the a6500 was released. Give us an a7000 in an a9 body with that battery and display for $2000
Yes! Yes & yes! :D
Hey, Sony, ya hear?!
Too bad Samsung ditched the scene. Imagine what a NX-2 would've been like! :o
Max's main reason for buying the Sony is he's on the payroll as a cheerleader. :-)
Everyone else wait on the reviews concerning the overheating and shot battery life for this expensive camera.....
Hello! Would you choose a7r3 over a7s2 for video and photo work? I just want to have 1 camera for vlog plus can shoot beautiful photos. Thanks
I'm waiting for mine too
does all the sony e mount full frame lenses focus by wire (electronic)?
I would love to see a A7r3 vs A7s2 in low light video for 4k
I asked Mr Brownstone to take some HQ video samples and share them with us as soon as he could. Was supposed to do a podcast with him and Mitch last night... I'm def interested in the A7RIII for video as well. I use 10bit ALL THE TIME on my GH5. As well as C4K and I use the 400 ALL-I as it really does allow SOOOOO much more room in post (especially when shooting VLOG which I shoot all the time)... but can't pull the trigger till I see what the A7SIII has to offer whenever it drops...
I'm on the fence with looking at my first mirrorless camera for video only. I think the GH5 would be my choice so far. I can't see spending the extra for the Sony A7 models.
Ok sure I get it but why not consider FS5 even?
Hey Max. Love your videos! I have a question about the A7R2 and A7R3 I was hoping you could answer. I'd like to shoot stills in studio in live view mode (camera higher than my head with screen flipped down) so I don't need a ladder) with EYE AF, while also transmitting that signal remotely to an external monitor, or via wifi router such as a Cam Ranger to be monitored by an art director or clients. Do you know if this camera can do this? Can other Sony cameras you have do this? This is one thing that I've missed going from Canon 5D3 (had it, but screen doesn't flip), to Nikon D750 (didn't have it - can't show a live view image and transmit live view at same time). Also, does eye-AF also work while doing this? If Sony has this featured, I'm interested for sure!
Do you have problems with your Sony cameras overheating during weddings at all?
Five things lacking to be a dream camera:
1. Fully articulated screen (that is without saying, the MOST REQUESTED feature by any Sony user)
2. Touchscreen menu system (best example Samsung NX500 or NX1. Gosh it was brilliant. Just like using a smartphone, so damn easy. Cannot understand why most of cameras don't have a proper touch screen menus in 21th century..)
3. Raw sizes (new in Nikon D850, why wasn't that implemented till now?)
4. Built in flash (I've been thinking, not a big deal, but when I got back to my old Nikon D5200 I just realized how much I missed it with Sony a7R)
5. Built in timelapse video (has been for ages in Canon cameras)
Hey Alex, you mentioned Philip Bloom would use the A7R II for his video needs over the 7S II, but I couldn't find any blog post about it. I would love to read about this topic though, so if you can provide a source for this statement I would greatly appreciate it !
Hey Max, do you think this is worth the upgrade from the a7sii?
Yes. I'll hopefully have a video comparison soon!
Thanks for the quick reply man!
I bought the the Sony A7r ii a week ago. I still have a few more days to return it and im going to do it. 😁. Going to pre-order the new Sony A7r III 😁🎥🎥
I'm expecting some killer specs for video on the a7siii so I think I'll wait for that :)
With the Panasonic GH5s being announced last few days, how do you think it will perform compare to the A7RIII?
I've reeder had my A7SII nor A7RII overheat. My a6500 C camera does but never with the full frames. Interesting to still hear people talking about overheating.
I just watched your GH5s video, and when you said that 4K in good light would not be as sharp as the GH5, that was all I needed to hear - my GH5 is best for what I do - great review! I tried the a7R II briefly compared to the GH4, and hated the soft LCD (I shoot with a loupe on the LCD and 100% manual focus), and sold it. I’ve been using the GH5 for a year and have been thinking about renting the a7R III - and I was really happy to hear your positive comments on the new LCD, but after watching this video I wonder if the a7S III might be a better option. I’m shooting wildlife video and stills, 99% in really good light. I use Nikon lenses so AF is completely unimportant. Based on what you think the a7S III might offer, could you offer any thoughts on the S III vs. the R III for the way I use it? 4K 60fps is really important to me. Thanks very much!
Really hoping the LCD doesn't dim in 4k and no overheating. I returned my a6500 because of those 2 things. I didn't feel comfortable using it for weddings with those 2 short comings.
does a7siii solve file naming problem of alpha cameras wherein with each new memory card the video and photo files (and metadata sidecars) naming would begin from x001?
If the A7S3 does not provide 4K/60P , i think i'm going to buy the A7R3 as well. I use a gimbal for 70% of my work, and having a great AF tracking is a life changer ! If i had money i would actually buy both. A7R3 for gimbals and A7S3 for tripod/hand held/low light.
Great Video, If you had to make a choice, would you choose the GH5 or A7R3 ?? Thanks your opinion is always appreciated
He also owns a couple of GH5's you Donkey
Interesting point about the USB power, that would be great if it can charge faster than the battery drains out.
Interesting that this video did not show up in my feed, I found it in the suggested videos.
Hey Dave, I really found virtually nobody mention about the USB3.0 support....which is a surprise from Sony... Since even A9 doesn't support it..... Sony keeps their customers in painful position.
Max, the a7rIII does look tempting. I was hoping for 60fps 4K with excellent autofocus. Still it's going to be an excellent camera.
Can A7R3 use the digital ND filter being sold by Sony App?
I was gonna get a used a7rii + 85mm batis for 2500 now idk if I should wait any big difference in the picture quality
How is the rolling shutter with video?
I am really excited about this camera. I thought i was going to have to wait till next year. I want it mostly for stills. But i am also looking forward to getting allot more into video. So i enjoyed hearing your thoughts on that. Im still wondering what new computer i should get for 4k editing. Maybe the new imac. But maybe a laptop. Or maybe an imac pro. Do you know when its coming. Im waiting for your review.
I'll have a review on the iMac Pro, but for most the specced out iMac 2017 should do the job really well (especially for final cut) My assistant editor has been using it daily since launch and its awesome.
I will wait for the a7s iii
I had assumed all the LCD screens on the ILCE cameras had been white magic ones and that's what is implemented when hitting the sunny mode. it just turns on the white pixels to help viewing outdoors. i thought the a9 not dimming in 4k was due to it's larger more cooled body and the faster processing from the integrated RAM. happy to be proven wrong.
Hey Max, have you heard anything new on whether Sony has at least improved the situation in regard to overheating? Also, maybe more than any 4K DSLR before, it seems to me that the A7R III could be a true pro all-in-one for both photography and videography. What do you think about that premise?
For video it's better to wait for A7s III. May be able to do 4k 60p
It's really tempting to upgrade from my A7RII. But I'll skip a generation. It's more than enough for a hobby shooter like me.
CameraStore Canada has some thoughts on the R3 too.
Nice video, please try and put the table of contents in the description as well so one can easily click.
Hey Max, I'm on the edge of getting the A7R3 over the A9 just because it has the Picture Profiles (I do hope though that the video AF is as good)
Wow... Seems like you should have a TON more subs..
I wish there is a focus on the codecs as much as there is a focus on bit-rate. A 100megabit HEVC can potentially look as good as a 200megabit XAVC.
Great review Max but I am so happy with the new canon 6d ii it is freakin’ amazing in low light full frame swivel screen colours to die for and so easy on the menus . Weddings are hard and the 6dii is now making it easy but the full frame look wow. Just my pounds worth or in your case 2$
Hey Max, after having the R3 for some time now, what do you think of the footage quality compared to the 6500? I've heard some people saying the 6500 is sharper due to the 6k-4k conversion vs the 5k-4k conversion of the R3. Have you noticed any differences or no? Presumably the R3 is better at higher ISO's as well? Thanks!
Also, any thoughts on the R3 at 120fps? Slomo on 6500 seems to be a soft/huge loss of quality. Hoping that R3 slomo is improved. Have you noticed?
It will be interesting to see how the A7RIII compares to the A7SIII if that product is coming out anytime soon. I wonder if there will be any difference on the video side.
What about a6700 is it coming soon?
Any specs on bit depth etc. for the HDMI out?
Max, an honest Question. Do you think it's actually an advanced breakthrough product? The sensor is the same, same body type, the only Thing new is a One stop increase in the dynamic range which would hardly be noticed by people, no increase in Mega Pixels, almost same video capabilities. All they did was add a few more shots per seconds and a few minor adjustments which would be expected in this time frame.
This is basically an evolution of the a7R2 which so many photographers love. They took the best parts (really detailed sensor with fantastic dynamic range) and imrpoved that, but also updated or replaced the parts that most a7r2 photographers complained about. Bad battery life, single card slot, joystick, buffer capacity and clearing speed. A huge complaint was once you take a few shots you couldn't go into the settings to change anything nor look at your photos until they all saved. This is fixed now and thats a big deal if you need to shoot fast and check focus. Ontop of that the LCD is more detailed and should be brighter, EVF has a huge improvement in every way, and no viewfinder blackout when continously shooting. The autofocus was good enough but did struggle with speed and accuracy in lowlight conditions as well as only decent performance with contious tracking (a6300 was superior). Its now using the same system as the a9 which is phenominal, even beating the previous champ the Nikon D5. Photo and Video autofocus will be at the top or even the best in the endustry if it matches the a9. With all this said, if somone is a working pro and their main camera is the a7r3 it would shocking if they don't think its work paying an extra $800-$1200 to upgrade to the R3 model.
Max Yuryev This is why you're the best camera guy on youtube Max.
Sony event? is there a new action cam ?
Michael Tapl yep. Rx0
No invite? 😥
I film high-speed tournament paintball in the hot sun for all-day events, so I am concerned about the overheating issue and battery life. Otherwise if it autofocuses well in chaotic environments and can shoot at a high frame rate, this is the camera for me. Here's hoping.
I'm going to wait for the soon-should-be-releasing Nikon full frame mirrorless camera, then I'll get my first mirrorless system.
It would be nice if Sony A7s3 has that fast auto focus for video and a fully articulating screen!
Sony a7r3 outperforms the Sony a7s2 in video quality?
Julio Cesar Hernandez i'd like to know about this too?
I still could remember countless Sony fanboys thumbs down Max's video when he said the a7Rii wasn't for him. Fortunately instead of staying in their own comfort zone, Sony listened to the constructive suggestions of Max and made a much improved camera.
HI, is the gh5 still good or s7r3?
Not waiting for the A7s iii?
When do you think a7s3 will be released?
Spring 2018.
Max I don't get it. The a7R mk.III is a good camera with good video capabilities but when the a7s mk.III will come out will that not make the a7r mk. III look less apealing. I have a a6500 and maybe I will buy a7R mkIII in a year or maybe two years because I like photography But I also like videography. I cant seem to hear a good specific reason except that a few cinematographers like the a7rII more thatn a7sII.Could you explain me
I'm getting it because I don't want to wait for the a7r3 and the resale value is so good that even if I swap to an S3 later it should only cost me $200-$300 for "renting it" for at least 3 months, but possibly 6-9 months. I also don't know if the s3 will have a 24MP sensor. The benefit of the R3 is you can shoot great 4k in full frame and then go into the crop if you want to use cheaper aps-c lenses (which I have a ton of, including Sigma 18-35 and 50-100 F1.8 lenses) or use Full frame and get more reach. I love my a6300/a6500 but I want to get shallower dept of field when shooting full body or when using wide lenses which is difficult to do with an APS-C sensor.
Wow thatnk you. So I could still use my lensen for my a6500 on crop mode on a7rIII i'm already sold. I like it that it's 42 mp the a7sIII is a bit too low for my liking anyway so if the a7sIII is below 24 I'll definitely go with the a7RIII for video as well. Internal 4k with 42mp is sick!!!!!
Thank you so much Max :)
no 4k at 60fps? No 1080p 240fps? No fully articulated LCD? :(
One thing I've learned not to do is buy a Sony camera early based on specs. There are camera companies that make sure that when they introduce a new feature, it works reliably and the way that people want to use it. Then there are companies that love to show off something amazing and knida hide the fact that it isn't practical for real world use.
There are several killers for me. No 10 bit, no 60fps in 4k and the price... $4400 + for the body and kit lens. Going to be the GH5 for me then. I will just have to use manual focus for the video.
I've had the GH5 since launch and I rarely shoot 10bit or 4K 60. Do I want the option? Yes, and I'll likely pick up an a7s3 when the comes out. We need 3-4 cameras for wedding films so having an a7R3, a7S3, and a6500 (or a7000 if that launches) will be a sweet set.
I had to sell a lot of camera equipment so I am currently only running a Panasonic GX80 with an engineers hack to give me the Cinelike V and D profiles as well as to open up 30p in 4k. The 60fps I'd certainly use for shots where there is a lot of quick panning and for slowing down shots for effects. Generally though, I'd be running 10bit 24p/30p as my monitor is 4k, 10bit. There is of course a bonus that the GH5 body will be compatible with my lenses used on the GX80. A 25mm prime, the 12-32 kit lens and my 45-175 lens.
I mostly shoot buildings, scenery and landscapes in video and photos so really the autofocus on the GH5 is probably not going to be much of a concern. I'm coping just fine with the GX80 by half pressing the shutter button to lock the focus and then shooting.
It annoys me that the Canon cameras are hobbled in many regards technology wise on the mid range. I want full frame 4k 10 bit with 2 pixel autofocus but I don't want to pay 10 grand for that. Panasonic seems to be the only company that really "gets it". Just a shame their autofocus in video is a let down and they don't use a larger sensor option.
thegeneral123 i agree.. 10 bit is absolutely needed, you can shoot in log all you want, but as long at it is 8bit wont make that much of a difference. Also no Information about Codecs; will it only be 420 or also 422, and even if 422, how much sense does that make at 8bit?
its 420 8 bit h264 100mbps
I am shooting events with a canon xa10 and I would love to move to a gh5. I am scared to go from easy camcorder to more difficult gh5. I am worried about the zoom factor as I am at the back of the event and need good zoom. The xa10 has 10x...not alot but just enough. Canon has just come out with xf400 a 1" sensor camcorder...can you tell me more about shooting events with gh5?
Sticking w my 10 bit gh5 and cine
lenses. I don't see enough advantages in the a7 to switch.
great specs - and finally Touch LCD :) - but the A7 system remains a costly system due to hight lens cost -
Any idea what the native ISO (minimum when shooting Log) will be? I shoot with an A7sII and I’m drowning in ND filters for my lens kit.
My guess is iso 800, but possibly 1600 (no higher than that)
Confirmed to be 800 here at about 3:00 in: czcams.com/video/MKzK4EeE3bY/video.html
hope the A6700 or A7000 also has these features and a bigger battery
I think Sony is dumping FW50... and will use the new battery as one of the leverage for the future cameras.
Don't the A7R2 & 3 now have like 2 minutes of battery life?
If you are buying the A7R iii for Video, what will you do with you GH5? You mentioned all Sony cameras you would use in a wedding.
IMDABROWN I currently use it when I need 4K 60, long record times or shooting in very hot conditions.
Max Yuryev thanks
I can see a huge advantage of the screen not dimming but I am not sure how optical quality would compare with the a6500 in the different video modes. As I understand it both would crop to an aspect ratio of 16:9 in 120p. Personally I chose the aps-c mode for video as it is both lighter, cheaper and more optimal for video (a6500 has downscaling from 6k). And I am still using the original a7r for stills. I was waiting to perhaps update it and though the a7r3 has a lot of increments - am still not sure how much the optical quality for video is better than a6500 - apart from the usual sensor size differences of properties.
a6500 1080 full hd is crap. 4k is quite nice.
I am getting good results from 120p full HD. I've not really tried the normal 1080p so I cannot comment. I find the 4k at 30 also good.
Yes, the 4k is quite nice. The 1080 is not good at all.
I see 3 weak areas not much improved: 1. It has the same old 30min limit, unlike Pany's. 2. The 5-axis IBIS is wobbly, even though advertised at 5.5 stops. Handheld taping works poorly, see Gordon Laing's samples. 3. Jelly effect is still pretty obvious.
I went to Cameralabs to take a look at the footage because it hasnt been my experience with the A7r3. The first clip is with the 85GM (which does not have ois). This clip is jerky - ibis alone seems to want to 'freeze' each frame (good for stills) and then jumps to a new one. With the next clip the video is very smooth with the 24-105 which has ois it only uses 3 axis for ibis and I am getting the same very good results as long as I use an ois lens. Autofocus for video is also much improved over the A7r2.
Shooting a lot of weddings you can’t beat shooting 4K 60p with my gh5. sorry Sony still not switching anytime soon
You know Max I discovered your channel when you talked about the Panasonic GH5 AF Issue...
Panasonic released a newer firmware. I have to admit... I was quite surprised to not find an updated video about the new firmware Feature/Fix :)
Do you think it is something that you have in mind... or you just abandoned that "project" ?
I haven't abandoned it but have been super busy the last few months which is why there has been so few videos. Multiple youtubers made autofocus comparisons and there isn't much of a difference from what I can see. I also have just one GH5 so its hard to test before/after the firmware with proper testing methods. Maybe something in the future?
William Esposito because it didn't really fix the AF
Do you still like that camera anyway :)? Or at the same price is better the sony 6500? ( but than having the heating issue? :/
Thank you so much For the reply Max! :) Yeah i have seen few youtubers comparisons but i also know that you tend to be less "fan" and you try to be more "true" about issues :) Is there any way to contact you in person about a gear setup that we have on mind and that we are going to buy :)? Let me know if that is possible i would love to take some suggestion ;)
Still no flip out screen. It's way beyond anything I need, but they still cripple it with no flip out screen. I know you love your small HD but, I'm still waiting for a decent entry level full frame camera with flip out screen. Canon doesn't count ;)
We've been asking Sony for a few years now, and it looks like it won't be happening anytime soon :(
it just like expecting canon can shoot 4k in low budget dslr.. lol keep dreaming
Wait I thought the XAVC S codec was 10bit 4 2 2
Why does Sony hate fully articulating screens?
I agree.
For being the no.1 sensor manufacturer in this game, I found it interesting that they've kept the sensor the same (though, not a new move by them). Otherwise... for the same launchprice as the previous iteration, you're getting quite the upgrades on there, trickled down from the A9. Now my wish would be for them to finally bring the A6x00-series up to snuff. Just give it a body makeover, make it more like a Samsung NX1, Fujifilm X-T2, Olympus E-M1 Mark II or Panasonic GH5. With all that good stuff you find on those last 2. Like a good sizeable grippy body, with proper room for heat dissipation, with a vari-angle touchscreen with full implementation and no screen dimming. Dual cardslots. Nice battery life. Bunch of buttons and dials and high level of customizing them. Audio interface including dedicated headphone port. And all that good stuff. Concerning recording performance... well-controlled rolling shutter, more pleasant color, 10-bit, Hybrid LOG Gamma, etc. And... they need to revive the APS-C compact lens line-up that has been kept dead for years and years now. Because what good is a crop sensor if regarded as a fullframe entry level for poor sobs that can't afford the A7 line-up quite yet.
Shiznutsz they been digging around in the parts bin again... probably because they dont sell as many cameras as they would like to.
Point5 Group not a sony hater or an idiot.... i am trying to decide over the d850 or a7r3 so wtf you on about?? Was just saying that they are using the same sensors because they probably have alot left in inventory... ie the parts bin
+Poin5 Group: your comment is FAKE & GAY
Now that's trolling. Not sure how my earlier comment was that. I did mention the A7RIII and features trickled down from the A9, where on a sensor pixel level nothing has changed, but a lot of ergonomics/usability has. So... if any of these people with Sony contacts, or Sony checking out comments can take a note... would be nice to see something actually APS-C with ergonomics/usability ups. Because I ain't buying one like it is... but the potential is there. There's nothing more I hate to see than wasted potential, so I speak up. If you're not onboard with it... hey, this is the comment section of a CZcams video... I'm okay with not being on the same page as everyone else. Have a gd one.
I don't really, but you do, arguing in the CZcams comments about someone's approach to commenting on CZcams. :')
I don't think I need your permission to post my opinion, now. If you have other opinions, either let's hear it, or keep quiet. Then again, you don't require my permission to post anything you'd like to comment on either, so go ahead with whatever, but I'm out. See ya.
Using a sensor like the A9 would have made it take a hit on its low light ability compared to the A7Rii. A9 is 24MP and only slightly better in low light than the A7Rii. People are going to try to shoot indoor sports with this camera at ISO 3200 and 6400. Low light quality is something that couldnt go backwards. High MP is wonderful when noise reducing and retaining quality. I prefer my 5DSR at ISO 6400 over my 1Dx mk2 bc of the detail that is retained at a 25% or 50% noise reduction and the ability to crop. This should be the same with the A7Riii over the A9.
No 4k 60p , no 10 bit...not for Video! Wait for a7s iii
I've had the GH5 since launch and I rarely use 10bit or 4K 60. Do I want to have the option? Yes, and I'll likely pick up an a7s3 as well. For weddings we use 3-4 cameras, so a kit will be a7R3, a7s3 and a6500 (or a7000 if that gets released) will do the job well.
I think it depends how much money you have, if you can afford both having an a7riii and siii is fine 6 months from now, if you can only get one it will hurt.
but the phone in your pocket can shoot 4K@60fps
but the phone isn't full frame with 15 stops....yeah. your point is squashed.
Max Yuryev I don't use the 8 bit modes. 4k24p and 1080p60 10 bit for slow motion to avoid banding.
Its is very good but once the A7SIII comes that will be the top for the videomakers. its 2-3 month away anyway
10 months later .... lol
April 2019... nope not yet:D
Wow, spending $3.2K off a spec sheet. I'll wait until it comes out and there are a lot of hands on reviews.
I will have some great hands-on review and testing for you guys.
a7riii - dust problem??
It took me till the 6 minutes to realize you were saying CROP not crap.. "APSC-CRAP MODE" was all i was hearing
I hope the A7s iii will be 10bit, other than that there will be no major reason to upgrade from my Mk II
I think it well.
yes, 10 bit as well as 4 2 2 and 400 mbs. otherwise the gh5 will remain on top.
