I can now officially share my initial review of the brand new Sony a1! In this video, I talk about what kind of safety net this mirrorless camera can provide with it's massive 50 megapixels. I also dive into the realistic scenario of when & why 30 frames per second would be used. And how my thoughts on 8K has slightly changed! If you're curious about the buffer when using 30FPS burst or if the camera overheats in 8K, check out the time chapters within the video to help you navigate to that specific section!

@@JasonVong hy! In aps-c mode is the a7r3-s 18 megapixel enough, or you should go for the a1-s 22. or a7r4-s 26? I shoot basically everything from real estate to wildlife, and maybe would use casually an aps-c len the 70-350 on ff, and sometimes crop in the image for more reach? Or for that purpose you would recommend a 70-200 or 70-300 ff lens?

@andreas7278 3 жыл бұрын

Nice video Jason. A quick question: Why does everything look to juttery starting from 10:08 (the 8k 24p video sample on a gimbal)? Did you use a way higher shutter speed and thereby introducing this jutter effect? What is your take on only having 4:2:0 with heavy compression available in 8k? Everyone on youtube seems to ignore this fact. There is a reason you managed to get like 50min of footage on those 160gb cards instead of what for example the Canon R5 in 8k raw is using (it's like 400mb/s vs more than 3gb/s or something like that).

Hey there Jason, thanks for the review! 👍 I have a question about the SD cards (3:46). You showed how (comparably) slow the buffer cleared when using an SD card instead of the new (Sony-exclusive and not cheap) CFexpress Type A cards. But could you also tell/show us how long the SD card needs to buffer burst mode shots when using COMPRESSED raw and jpeg? I don't think I will ever use the uncompressed or lossless compressed raw in burst mode bc of image size (you say so yourself, that would be bonkers ;-) but unfortunatelly you skipped that part in your video). I have my doubts about the CFexpress Type A cards and don't want to replace all my SD memory cards just yet while the technology is still so fresh and not very "mainstreamed". Cheers Melanie

Hi Jason, thanks for the video. Does anyone know if an external monitor can be used via HDMI from the A1, WITHOUT the A1 switching off its internal display when recording? I’ve got the A7SIII and it’s such an improvement over the A7iii in terms of monitor both the cameras display and an external Small HD monitor when shooting.

I'm conflicted. I love your videos and am hugely interested in the Sony ecosystem as a result. However, I currently own a Fuji x100f. Every time I see a Sony video I am inspired to purchase Sony, then I watch a Fuji video and I am equally inspired to go Fuji. What do I do? I am not so much invested in Fuji as to make the change difficult but I do love the Fuji system colour profiles. For what I want and my budget I can get slightly better specs for a cheaper price by going Fuji. Then again Sony has that full frame goodness which is so appealing.

The thing that puts me off the Sony is the crappy menu system where I need a UI that lets me get to the setting I need within seconds. The other thing I hate about this camera is the fact that they market the camera for its amazing 8k video then give you a sub-standard LCD that doesn’t flip-out and looks like it belongs in 2005. Hopefully one day Sony will deliver a camera that does the basics as well as all the great stuff they do so well
