How can contact you because I actually bought this camera nd can’t function the setting if my life depended on it md I’m struggling nd it’s a waste of money if I don’t put it too use
Hey this i a great video and thats a great analogy about teh vollyball net! Thank you.
I love how literally EVERYONE refers to Gerald when it comes to technical aspects of a camera. He has become a household name for a nerd camera tech review.
It's so funny
I love this review, as I do your videos on gear in general, but here let me highlight a wonderful thing you did here that I wish content creators did more often: the generous reference to Gerald Undone. We who look up gear reviews are usually interested in a variety of perspectives, from the lab review to impressions in the field to specialized uses for this or that type of photography/videography, and no individual channel can do all of these things equally thoroughly. It's great that there are different channels specializing in different things, and that you show generous recognition of the need for collective coverage here. It highlights the value of your work without diminishing the work of others.
I legit was scrolling through your channel to watch some camera related videos again and you JUST POSTED!!!
Thanks Allison! Your high level review was just the right perspective for me at this point. As a photographer, it’s always been important for me to have every advantage. As a complete beginner to video, it is important for me to have access to as many feature options reasonably possible, so I can have the ability to create and experience as much as I can.
Loved the down to earth review! Glad I was recommended this video ☺️
Wish my film teachers were as chill as you, awesome vid !!
When I first saw the purple light shining on the camera I thought, "It looks like Gerald Undone is lurking in the background".Then you mention him.
Definitely a video shooter's dream camera, especially for run and gun. I mainly shoot photography and ended up buying the A7S III. It's just that good imo! I even ending up shooting some photography gigs on the A7S III. That being said, the 3 biggest selling points for me were the internal 4K 10-bit up to 120p, flip screen, and nearly unbeatable video autofocus
Im so tempted to buy this camera - Im just not sure if I'll come undone using slog3 and trying to grade it. Its extra dynamic range in video Im after - the ability to recover highlights or push shadows a bit higher.
@@markshirley01 slog3 is capable of capturing incredible dynamic range, though relies a lot on good exposure for optimal grading results. That being said, I've found that even Standard profile and the newly added S-Cinetone produce amazing color quality while keeping excellent DR. You definitely have some options ;)
I know nothing about cameras but I enjoy your videos, especially the travel ones!
first time watching your videos but absolutely in love with your shots! subscribed :)
I was wondering where you been Allison. Great content like always.
Oh really enjoyed this review! I'm still using the Sony A6000 and I love the ease and lightness of it, especially for hiking! But this camera looks amazing 😍
This was a great video, I’m looking for a mirror less camera and this helped put in perspective of what this camera is capable of!
I have this camera. It's excellent. I like the S-log 10 bit. The stabilization is also useful, though I mostly use standard, not active mode. Low-light capability also crucial for the kind of stuff I do. Lenses are quite expensive though, even when you buy Sigma instead of Sony. But that's true no matter what camera you have. Great video. I love your background and lighting setup!
A big zoom range is important to me. Allows me to frame shots that would be impossible without the reach. I recently upgraded from my 15 years old Canon S2IS with 12X optical to a Lumix FZ80 60X optical, and 120X optical at a lower resolution, and adore the camera. That Sony looks like a top quality camera. Enjoying your videos.
This set/shot lighting looks great. I just randomly came across your channel, so I just wanted to say Hi! Keep crushing it. Great job!
Agree.
Sony A7S III...Crazy Auto Focus...Low Light "see in the dark"...never overheats...brilliant video capabilities...way under rated for photography...very stable...fantastic lens options...flip out screen...rugged build...best camera I have ever owned... a one and done purchase.
I just bought the a7siii. cant wait to film it!
Thanks Allison for sharing with us, I have a Sony a 7III and yes, maybe soon up grade to a7SIII which sounds amazing!!
I’m SUPER excited, I’m getting this camera in October!! 🤗 My make or brake features for a camera are, the low light sensor, autofocus needs to be very good, decent colour science and also, the flip out screen, I need that! P.S I really enjoyed watching this video, it was awesome! I also watched Geralds vid about this camera.
Thanks a lot 🙏🏼 for explaining the megapixel confusion cleverly. Thanks again.
Great video. Thanks...awesome low light, 120fps, incredible images in both photos and videos is what I look for...I’d love to know what this cameras biggest competitors are and are they better...this seems like a great camera 🎥
stabilization and low light is the most important things for me in video , a7s iii is definitely going to be my first camera..
Picked up this camera exclusively for the 4K 60 FPS
Where can I buy the feeling "comfortable in front of the camera" and what would that cost? :) Great video. Keep it up. Thanks.
4K 120fps is the best. Absolutely amazing!! And it is the first Sony camera with colors that look good without a lot of work. Silicon Power has a good 128GB UHS II V90 card for about $70USD on Amazon that we like. It is the one you need to record 4K 120fps (the super expensive CFExpress is not needed for this frame speed). If you get other brands, make sure the SD to microSD adapter is UHS-II compatible (you can see because it has the 2nd row of pins). We got screwed by Kingston. The CanvasReact cards work, but the adapter is not UHS-II, so you need the right adapter if you buy the Kingston. You will get 1 hour to 1h 20m record time at 4K 120fps depends on the settings.
Well thought out review - i love your graphics - well done - Do you shoot S-Log 3 - is it easy to grade
My absolutely necessary must have capability is the flip screen. For landscape and video will not buy another one without it. Thanks for the review.
U coming up & down ti check auto focus was funny 😆😆
This is such a great video. You should time code this!
Perfect! You made my decision on what camera to get next. Now I got to save up lol
Awesome Work ✌️
I definitely want to try this out! I’ve used Sony A7iii and currently have the Nikon Z6ii.
I’m liking the colors in your videos with the a7siii. From some of the shots, it looks like you turn picture profiles off and just use the standard creative style. Is that right? If so, do you change any of the default settings? If not, how do you normally color your videos? I just found your channel and really liking it so far! Thanks!
Next year I plan on buying the Red Ranger Gemini (low light king) and shooting the low budget independent movie I'm writing. Most of the scenes take place outside and at night. I bought the Sony Alpha 7S III so I can location scout around town and get a good idea of where to shoot and where my scenes should take place at. My Zeiss CP.3 Lenses with Sony E mounts should be here tomorrow, I can't wait for the weekend so I can get some good footage of my city and watch it on my Pro Display XDR.
I was waiting for you to upload. Hello!
Back button focus button, TAV setting so I can set the shutter speed and aperture and leave the ISO on auto for wildlife. Weather sealed camera and lens for adverse weather. IBIS ( in body image stabilization) so I can photograph hand held. Ergonomics how does the camera grip fit in your hands ( can you carry the camera hand held on a all day hike ) . How are the buttons and dials laid out for easy use. Battery life do I need a extra battery for daily use. Dual card slots for backup
I agree with the stabilisation thing for Panasonic (although Active IS gives somewhat near performance), but for color science, Sony has done so good with the A7SIII I feel like it's wayyyyy better than any canon cameras now.
Awesome video! Which SHUTTER SPEED did you use? Thank you!
Cant wait to actually purchase this .. especially for the 4K 120fps
great video, stuck throught the whole way :D
Hi Allison, new sub here. I love your video. Im saving extra money to buy this camera hopefully this year. Thanks for this review. really inspires me more to upgrade.
I own two cameras: the Panasonic G85 and the Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II. The G85 has been relegated to backup and webcam status, but it's certainly a fine camera in its own right. The E-M1 Mark II is great for me for a couple of reasons. 1) Phase-detect autofocus 2) Easy to hike with, including the lenses 3) Blistering burst speed, perfect for photographing sports and wildlife 4) The best in-body image stabilization system in any camera...except perhaps the E-M1X and E-M1 III 5) Detailed Cinema 4K footage However, there are some things I don't love about it. 1) Unintuitive menus...the camera behaves in unpredictable ways sometimes, and it's hard to figure out why. 2) No 10-bit 4:2:2 video 3) Only 1080p up to 60 fps...no 120 fps and no 4K 60 fps 4) Pre-amp is only "good enough," not great 5) UHD and 1080p quality are not nearly as good as the Cinema 4K I don't think being limited to 8-bit 4:2:0 is reason enough to dump my E-M1 II for a GH5, which is not a great autofocusing camera. If I were a professional videographer, I would lean toward a 10-bit 4:2:2 camera like the GH5 or even the a7S III or a7 IV. I might replace my G85 with a GH5 at some point, but I'm not in a huge hurry. Photo and video are just hobbies for me. I made a little film with the E-M1 II and G85, with a couple of 1080p clips left over from my original E-M1. I think it turned out pretty well! kzhead.info/sun/mtupiMWIoHyBqWg/bejne.html
Great video! I love my A7s
We are sooooo on the fence with this buy... but it would really elevate our videos in terms of quality, wouldn’t it? 😍 Thanks for your perspective! 😘
Thanks for this love u ❤️
Really awesome video! I am considering switching from my Canon R6 but I fear the photography aspect with the only 12MP. I want to print my images as large as possible.
Thank you! Fantastic video. As a long term Canon shooter (550D/T5i, 7D) I switched to Panasonic and kept my Canon glass for use with an adapter. However, for documentary work Autofocus and IBIS are key features, along with crispy 10 bit 4K, and for fiction work, RAW capabilities. Still divided between A7S III and R5 because I have a bunch of Canon glass and I do shoot stills as well for both personal and commercial work. Have you tried the R5 at all?
I believe the R5 overheats after 30 min. I haven't seen any firmware updates fix that either. But do your research, because I could be wrong.
Great video. If you shoot 4K at 120 FPS how long does the battery last and how many hours of video can you fit on a 256 GB card ?
*loved the review .. too bad can't afford the camera ever .. but as my passion is camera and video making, i continue craving for it*
thanks for this!!!
I love love this content. Please what lens do you use with this camera?
Earned a sub. +like thank you! I love Sony!
What profile do you normally in? What editing software do you use? Do you color grade your videos? Do you use LUTs?
this camera is so good it even made Casey vlog again
Thank you so much for this video 😃. I have been using my Canon 5DMKIII for all of my videos for the last 10 years and I think I need an upgrade 😅. Tired of my videos looking lousy even though I spend hours planning every single shot and weeks editing. Talking about editing, I have heard that the videos coming out of this camera cannot be edited on Premiere Pro nor Final Cut Pro, is that true? I cannot find any information about that and that would be a total no go for me as I am only using those two. Thanks in advance 🌼☀️
I have an old but very expensive Canon and have been using that but I just started using my new GoPro 9 and I’m wondering if I can get away with using only it for my videos and the big camera for my shots. The big camera is soooo enormous though that I’m thinking I may have to get the a7s iii just because of it’s size compared to what I now have. Thanks for showing this. It really does make me want to get one.
Looking so pretty. God bless you and your family
Do you have any recommendations for a self taught photographer who has mostly used an old nikon d40 or my Samsung G9 but would like a great camera for nature and wildlife work?? And what lens would be good?? Ps I love all your content and cry everytime I watch the Alaska video 😊!!
flip screen 😍
Would you shoot photography on this camera if presenting on digital platforms?
I would absolutely buy your LUTS or any training videos to get the look.. can you please share your settings like profile/white balance /filters?
Hi. Do you get a jittery image on the A7SIII EVF when filming in the 4K S-I 10bit codec. It literally only occurs with this specific codec and is totally smooth with no issues in all other codecs. Main screen is smooth, just the EVF view. I’ve got the latest firmware, reset the camera and tried different lenses with the various stabilisations turn on and off. Wondering if this is just my unit or a more common problem nobody is talking about? Thanks.
Color science and screen are very important to me. I have an a7siii and it is much less inspiring than the R5. The evf is awesome on the A7siii as well as the lens size and selection.... for me quality is awesome, but inspiration is more important. Nice video
The r5 sucks compared to the a7siii.
I want to get the a7siii but not sure how much of an upgrade it is to the a7iii. these shots look gorgeous though!
Am not a professional Yet….. but I bought this camera and it’s really amazing . I feel like a kid with a room full of candy . So many amazing features to play with
Do you shoot Slog 3 with it
Hi allison, does your EVF stutter when in video mode and using shooting at 24fps?
*It's My Endgame to get but Also the a7C as it being an entry lvl FF and me moving up from the a6400 and keeping my Sigma 16mm but idk I have a 2 months to decide if I wanna get the A7Siii or the A7C. Nice Review, oh One more thing so in terms of APC vs FF using the Sigma 16mm 1.4 on a FF would make it equivalent to what FF Lens*
shooting outside alot, the 10bit is huge over the 8 bit a7iii. i always got banding with a73 8 bit. banding a lot less nowadays with a7s3
Ahhh I 10000% want one now!
What are those black discs with an orange ring on a string that I see on so many camera videos? 0:26
That auto focus and the clarity had me get the Sony. Canons 8k is a strong rival
The r5 is booty and overheats constantly.
Thanks for the review! Also you’re really cute!!
What lenses do you reccomend for gameplay for Sony as7iii
Do you still have the Samsung Galaxy? I’m interested in how it stacks up when you do these type of talking head videos. I didn’t see any of those shots in your last video. Can you do a video on a comparison between the Galaxy and this Canon?
Thanks for sharing this, i love it! Can this camera capture the eye focus using timer for self portrait? My a7iii won’t show the eye focus after setting the timer and run in front of the camera and strike a pose.
I bought that camera in December right after selling my sony ZV1. My goal was to buy a super pro camera, even though i was a beginner, to then learn by filming with it. I had the luxury of just having the money to buy it with high quality lenses and to then level up by working with that gear and honestly it's one of my best investments ever. My personal goal was to become a pro content creator, what I am far from being but on the way to become and that camera is really helping me to be so. I would totally recommend that camera to beginners who absolutely want to learn a lot very fast and to become pro, if they can afford it. Otherwise the A7III ist also an excellent camera offering a lot of the same possibilities the A7sIII has
very great response. what lens did you get with your sony A7SIII?
I like small light great 4k camera.
How well does the a7siii low light performance hold up at 60 frames per second?
So you can crop it on the image in camera shooting 4k?
You need to come to California! It's the most beautiful state besides Hawaii
I wish I could just get some of this tech in a 2000-2500 body. 3500 is just beyond my budget. Even if it was an APSC.
Hello! What do you think of the Sony colors? Any easy way to adjust the green/yellow tint and get more canon like colors? Thanks!
Sorry.!..not sure why this comment went above your pinned comment...
I liked this video.. just only you did not push everyone to buy this. You just shared your view. Good video
Why lens are you using in this video?
My A7SIII screen froze one me while shooting. Even turning the camera off the screen stayed on and frozen. Had to take the battery out. Anyone had any issue with this? Whats the best Sony support email to contact someone? Thank you
Thé Nazaré meme 😂😂😂😂 Nazaré belongs to the whole world, not only Brazil anymore 🤣🤣
Os br tão a mil
Me: "oh I should get this, *clicks link* 3000?!!"
I honestly feel like the new way the screen opens is awful. I always film from below my shoulder level, so I'm looking down to the camera. Before with the A7S 2 or the A73, I could just tilt the screen a bit without having it rest on top of my left hand. Now I need to use an external monitor if I don't want the goddamn screen to be brushing against my left hand all the time. I don't know why people love the flip out screen so much. It's awful.
nice 1204K !
Here inn Europe this Sony alpha s7 iii cost you 4199.00 Euro / about 4600 dollars. got to save more.
I use your channel for learning english 😍
Awesome
Oh... I have 120fps 720p on my Canon eos R :-(
THANKS FOR THE VIDEO I LOVE YOUR STYLE AND PLEASE DO NOT DO NOT CONTAMINATE YOUR KZhead CHANNEL WITH OTHER KZheadRS FROM OTHER CHANNELS THAT SUCK SO BAD PLEASE CONTINUE DOING WHAT YOU DO ON YOUR OWN LOVE WORK A LOT STAY TRUE TO YOUR SELF .
YAYYY
I was all in till you mentioned the price.
Hey Allie. Thanks for the video. I'm considering upgrading from the a73 to the A7siii or fx3 soon. I had a question with regarding getting exposure correct when shooting slow motion with a wide aperture prime lens with no ND filter. Even on the a7iii, I'm finding that when i'm shooting 1.8 (wide open) on my prime lenses that i have to jack the shutter speed super fast. When you're shooting a wide aperture (say 1.2, 1.4 or 1.8) what max shutter speed do you find usable specifically in an outdoor situation WITHOUT an ND filter? thx !
Very good Allison, my Sony Fx6 has no animal eye autofocus 🥴 but i have variable Nd and i woń t miss it 👌 best cinematic greetings from a little but motivated german filmmaker 🎞 #filmmakingismypassion
