Just paused the video and looking for this comment 😂

I'm dead LMAO

Olympus omd em5 mark iii review video was, I think, one of the first videos with that.

Im getting this camera as a primarily stills photographer. I hate large megapixels, anything more than 25MP weighs down the process and is frankly unnesasary. I photograph caves, hard action at any time in the day, camping, and a whole ton of other shit. Low light is everything to me, form factor, battery life is everything, and the video features are an added benifit. I carry around a micro 10" laptop to edit on, fuck big fancy cameras. I want simple and well done. My shooting style, I almost never crop, and do as little to the images in post as possible, it's just my style. So I really dont loose anything, but gain everything in low light and video. This will also be insane for night photography.

@@MonicaHolly143 Unlimited RAW buffer with redundancy at 10fps and 90%+ hit rate is pretty cool though. 12mp is fine for most of the jobs out there, especially since everything ends up on the Internet anyway.

@@JetBen555 if u think that 12mp is enough for a professional photographer then u clearly dont know what ur talking about...... That's like saying 1080p is enough becuz they will downscale it to 1080p anyways and most use phones anyways

@@MonicaHolly143 wait is 1080p not enough anymore ? Cause i still deliver my work in 1080p 😅😅

@@TohPhimmasenh it is still okay but it is much better to shoot in 4k and deliver in 1080p There's a lot of video that explains how that works

wow great point 1) 👍 completely forgot about higher fps

S1H doesn't use line skipping at 4k/60. It uses a 1:1 readout the same as the SIII and quality is about the same (SIII has advantage at high ISOs of course).

@SwitchRich Yes but not line skipped.

@@FantabMedia how bad is the crop?

KZfaq and Instagram are the bottlenecks of our society.

Doesn’t the limitations imposed by the compression call the utility of a camera like this into question? If the primary audience is going to watch this on KZfaq and mobile devices, isn’t this camera and others like it overkill? I wonder about this almost every time I watch these kinds of reviews.

@@hisownfool1 it's overkill for many yes, but if you can afford then it delivers a lot, sharper 1080p, great AF, low light, selfie screen, good battery, unlimited recording, more fps 4k/hd, A7SIII is a video workhorse & does great for social media photography

@@hisownfool1 yes but no. I mean, although it's compressed by youtube it still looks waaay better than any other video recorded on smartphones or GoPros

@@mirrorlessny Thanks.

a giant upgrade 💪 perfect time to switch to Sony, they finally made new touch menu, A7SIII satisfies so many needs at same time like vlogging, color editing possibilities & even 4k slow motion

@@mirrorlessny 🔥

I was thinking the same.

Yeah the numbers don’t add up. They have 272K now so 8000 subs is not even 281K even tho it’s close.

Sorry, mistyped 281000.

They did make one!

that’s why it’s best run n gun, not stand still n gun. 😅

@What Are You On About No, the other way around.

@What Are You On About Other way round.

Now all they need to make is the A7iv, with the perfect balance between powerful photos, and good enough low-light video. Although I think Sony's gonna wait till Canon comes out with something new/adventurous before taking a dump on them with the A7iv.

@@professionalpotato4764 which Sony camera can do 8K? And if you say no one needs 8K then you’re just another Sony fanboy making excuses.

@@Davitor1 Nobody needs 8k. Does Arri shoot 8k? You either have really bad composition skills or you're working on a project worth hundreds of thousands or millions. Composition can be learned. High budget filmmaking is only done by the elites. 90% of us will never be able to be part of it. Majority of media consumption is on phones or laptops. The number of people who own 8k monitors are even fewer than those with 4k monitors. I'm no fanboy. I use whatever works. I hate Sony because they clearly have zero UI/UX designers. I like Canon because it's the most user friendly. I like Nikon because it has better dynamic range than Canon. If I had unlimited money, I would switch systems every single day or hour depending on the job. The camera is just a tool. Stop assuming someone is in another "faction" just because their opinions and needs don't align with yours. The world doesn't revolve around you. Get over yourself.

@@Davitor1 And nobody brings toys to a real shoot. Any camera that overheats is not considered pro-grade. The R5 and 6 take amazing stills. But even if you gave it to me for free with every single RF lens, I still wouldn't use it for a video shoot.

@@professionalpotato4764 no professional uses a 12mp camera made in Thailand. With menus of the 1980’s. You’re just another scrub KZfaqr.

The low light part looked terrible. Watch again at 10:42, he looks like a chocolate fondue.

@@TaipeiGeek did you even see how under exposed it was ? That would never happen in real client's work

You'll need higher mp count for astro. The problem with 12mp sensors is that the noise will be rendered in larger spots, vs finer grain on higher mp sensors. Also, the way lowlight is handled for video and photos are different. Videos are essentially jpegs stuffed into a video container, after applying some in camera denoise and other functions. Photo raws are different, and if you apply the same denoise that aggressively, I think you'll miss quite a few stars.

@@TaipeiGeek When the beginer finally finds out that astrophotography uses long exposures so you wont actually see the "fondue" like in the video

I am poor. It'll take me at least a year or two to build a full-frame kit with body, lenses, and lights.

@@professionalpotato4764 apsc cameras like a6300/a6100 & up are much more affordable & produce fantastic results with prime lenses like Sigma 1.4

It's not the camera but the Lenses that give me trouble lol.

@@squirreldemon3506 I recommend trying out Sigma art lenes between 20mm - 35mm and just picking one. Many great movies have been shot with one lens.

@@mirrorlessny True. For personal use idm getting those. But for work, I will need the ff cos I've no idea what kind of locations I may end up in and need the high iso performance.

@Mat Gleeson thank you for pointing this out guys

But the a7s III does not produce soft images. A tiffen black pro mist 1/8 would come in handy.

@@JonPais OK, but looking at the test samples in this review, they are softer than the 8K/6K oversampled images.

@@terranborn56 yea a7siii is softer, but that's only at 24fps 4k right? 4k60+ fps things even out? if im not mistaking S1H has apsc crop at 4k60 while R5 line skips at 4k60/120

@@mirrorlessny Yes, 4K 24p for movie making, not reality shows or travel videos. Specific need.

400mm 2.8

For what use? This is a video-centric camera, and video tends to be shot at wide angles. The Sigma 24-70mm f2.8 is a great all-around choice for photo and video, and it's not crazy expensive. The Tamron 28-75mm f2.8 is a bit cheaper, but I think you will want that extra bit on the wide end if you're shooting a lot of video. Sony makes a really nice 28-135mm Power Zoom f4 broadcast-type lens if you're into manual focus and/or a servo for smooth, motorized zooming in video, but that lens can get pretty expensive. If you don't know why you need that lens, it's probably not for you. If you're into fast prime lenses, the Sony 24mm f1.4 is a solid choice as well to pair with the a7S III, and it could make up for the shortcomings of the 28-135mm f4 PZ or the Tamron 28-75mm f2.8 on the wide end. The a7S III is not a camera I would want for sports and wildlife. It's a low-light video and nighttime street photography camera. The low-resolution sensor doesn't give much latitude for cropping if you don't have a long, enormous telephoto lens. You want the a1, a7 III, or a9 II for that. Even the a7R III and IV are better choices for that because you can crop in so much, although those might make more sense for landscape and portrait photographers. So I wouldn't look much into the telephoto range for the a7S III. I disagree with Jon about the 400mm f2.8 being a good pairing for this camera, but perhaps he was kidding. The a7S III is a niche camera primarily aimed at videographers.

Definitely, it was rather disappointing there were no serious scenes to test the Slog-3

@@Jthe5th Yup.

S-I is best quality but takes most space & requires CFexpress cards for 4k120

I want that too, still struggling between xh1 and xs10. I want a second camera to my xt3 with ibis.

@@ChristianThueringer maybe wait for the xh2

You mean you have to wait till January to enjoy all that fun winter stuff........you should move to Canada.....Yay

@@psoon04286 lmao yes thats one way of looking at it!

As someone else commented, that's only for 24 fps. At higher frame rates, the other cameras are softer than the Sony due to line skipping.

@@carlkim2577 The S1H doesn't use line skipping, it uses a 1:1 pixel readout for 4k/60 and quality is about the same as the SIII in those modes. Agreed on the R5 though; it's high-speed 4k is definitely worse than Sony's.

@@FantabMedia but what about 4k 120? Or 180?

@@carlkim2577 Doesn't do 4k 120 mate. 180 is line skipped but it is (and 240) on the SIII too. I think the SIII 240 will be better quality than the 180 of the S1H although it's not that bad if you have loads of light. I'm still interested in an SIII, it's got so many features.

@Kris Smith thx guys for S1H/R5 24fps clarification & S1H info apsc4k60 crop/180hd line skipping, you are right a7siii is line skipping at 240fps thankfully 4k120 quality is superb & looks like 4k60/120hd is full sensor readout 👍 it's awesome how a7siii is stuffed with so many important & useful features

I like the green and yellow in my Orc skin.

Hopefully the fuji xh2 comes soon. Its gonna be a beast!

I just need a lovechild between Panasonic and Sony. Gimme that delicious 24mp sensor with dual native ISO, 10fps burst, waveforms, vectorscopes, hybrid AF... Panny boy has got so many nice features and I'm keen on the S1/S5, but I'm waiting to see what Sony gives us in the A7iv before deciding which system to invest for full frame. Though if the S1/S5 can't focus on black cats or a white flower cos of the lack of contrast, I'll throw it at a wall too. Fuji's way too expensive, I could build a similar kit of same focal lengths for the same price with A7iii. I think I'll prolly pick up a G9 soon. 10 bit, IBIS, excellent burst speeds, no overheating, able to come in with me to the shower... has nearly everything I need.

@@professionalpotato4764 If you feel that AF is important, then forget about Panasonic completely. Saw a great example of the Panasonic S5 footage from Sara Dietschy. Not my favorite KZfaqr but since she was using 3 cameras (Sony A7siii, Canon R5 and Panasonic S5) it was an excellent showcase on why not to buy the S5. The hunting was terrible, even worse than Panasonic. I'm so sick of my GH5 due to that, that I can hardly hold out till Black Friday before I buy something else. I'm seriously leaning towards the Sony A7iii and just putting my phone on top of it as a "monitor" lol or to buy the Sony A7C (even though it's far too expensive for what you get atm.)

@@RicoResolves True.. AF is important to me. At the same time, I kinda want a system that has robust weather sealing, and Panasonic seems to be one of the best. Fuji's not too bad too I think, but not sure if it'll survive shooting in the rain for an hour. Sony's performance is great, but I'm not sure I can trust its sealing.

@@professionalpotato4764 well, if Sony claims its weather sealed and you take it out in the rain and it breaks, that would fall under warranty I guess.

@Kalifay G 12 mp. for photography. LOL 😝 No thanks

@Kalifay G a proper video camera would have internal NDs and better sound I/O. Like the C70, FX6, etc...The A7Siii is just like the R5 but with only 12MP.

Maybe because these concerns are marginal and overall the camera is great? As a Sony user I don't use AWB for video (why would I?) and use a gimbal or shoulder rig in addition to IBIS.

hah I didn't even realize it was missed 😣 Active IBIS definitely improves Sony's aging stabilization

@Kalifay G yea standard IBIS is so so, I did a test with active IBIS & it definitely improves stabilization but not amazing
