I love that this review isn't a guy talking to the camera but instead actually showing us footage from the camera

This man shot like 3-4 usable, beautul ads easily for this test god damn. Your shots are always so good, very nice test really admire your work 🙏🏻

I'm just laughing about the little "He's crazy" when you say you aren't Gerald Undone.

Outstanding video, Brandon! Loved it. Great job! 🤓👍💜

I barely comment on videos but this was lit, this is how a camera review should go down.. Well done!!

Its actually scary how he is doing all by himself. No hired help. Just him moving a bunch of things and shooting different stuff. Very underrated

Really great Brandon! Gorgeous footage! I would avoid XAVC HS for now, especially in 422 as current graphics cards can’t decode it. 420 they can. XAVCS 120p is a better codec for now :)

You are killing me with that color. It’s gorgeous

Amazing review Brandon. Anyone who makes YT videos knows A LOT of work went into that.. Super easy to understand review! Great job!

This is a brilliant review, Brandon. You covered all the bases in a way that a working professional can appreciate. Between you, Gerald and Philip, we have been treated to some amazing content surrounding this camera. I should also mention that I love your filmmaking style. It feels fresh and unique which is no small achievement in this day and age. I recently moved back to smaller cameras after running with big setups for years - RED, FS7, Ursa Mini etc. None of them ever made me feel as happy as the A7SIII does. It just gets out of the way. Total creative freedom. And I think that is what a tool should do - empower the creator.

Seriously when you did the comparison with Dynamic range. Standard and then Slog3. I Litterly went shook at how clean and good the image looked.

This is by FAR the best review on the 7siii that's been made.

Appreciate that ethics statement more than you could ever know. This rule (should be a law to be honest) should be upheld to a MUCH tighter regard on KZfaq's end. It is disgusting that huge youtubers are able to deceive their millions of subscribers by uploading content that was entirely paid for or sponsored and then playing it off as if its an honest review or a product they picked up with their own money. So thank you for the integrity and here's to hoping that this is the new standard for all youtube content creators.

Sony doesn’t need a marketing team. They only need Brandon Li

I'm blown away by quality of your video. I've seen hundreds of tech reviews, but Your way shocked me. No talking heads, stopmotion to show in/out of focus, PiP with zoomed head, elegant graphical design of whole video. Man, really new quality in tech review. Chapeau bas.

The two reviews I needed yours and Gerald's.

19:30 Kobi calling to say she is tired of doing the modeling for new camera reviews 🤣Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the A7SIII.

This is the kind of review that I need. "Show me, don't just tell me". Thanks, Brandon!

THIS is the type of review I LOVE. I cannot stand the reviews where people sit in front of cameras and just talk about the tech features, and show me the body of the camera. They literally show me little other than unrealistic autofocus tests. THIS review on the other hand shows me real life practical day to day uses for the camera from a filmmaking point of view. Thank you for also talking about the profile, grading and the lenses you used for each shot. This was video was both informational AND inspirational. Great work Brandon!

The best tech creative review I’ve ever seen. Got my A7Siii arriving next week and proper excited by this.

Love this Brandon! Great work!

The end is the most important part of this review!

To be honest, it would be such a relief and load off just to shoot standard profile and have to do minimal coloring. I really liked the HLG profiles on the A7III, so i might go with that unless i REALLY need Slog3. Great review, amazing footage. Thanks.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Love this video and review Brandon! Great work! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

and THAT is how you do a camera review. Lots of sample footage. So much effort went into this.

Stunning review...I knew Brandon would be the one to really show what we can expect from this camera. Bravo, sir.

Left Brain + Sony A7S III Review = Gerald Undone Right Brain + Sony A7S III Review = Brandon Li Incredible work, man. And the kind of landscapes you have access to... holy shit!

Seriously this is the best review of a7slll so far Great job👌

What no one here seems to understand is that Brandon could make cell phone footage look stunning. Thank you.

You are so honest. For KZfaq, that incredibly refreshing. Thank you !

Hands down. The BEST REVIEW on KZfaq right now. I don't say it too often. I never said that actually. Those 10 thumbs down are clearly haters/jeaulous people. I pre-ordered this camera few weeks ago myself and this video really helped me to get very clear understanding and prepare what is ahead. Brandon you showed tons of sample footage which is PERFECT. Lots of people will appreciate it. Thank you very much. You did lots of work which clearly shows. Well done.

And somehow people are disliking this video... I personally don't understand... this is talent and knowledge people! Very inspiring video also. Thanks! Remember: - it has 4K resolution (so... good quality for these days) - covers almost everything about the camera - really took his time to make this video - he has a pleasant voice (doesn't iritate my ears screening just be more "active" in the video) - NO annoying stupid luts that makes the color skin green "just trying to be cool" - doesn't have long adds along the video - no inutile bad jokes P.S: Even IF is sponsored (well good for him!), from my point of view it did a good job with this video.

Still waiting for mine... After watching this one the waiting gets harder every day😅 Great review!

Wow what a superb ending. A really important message you added at the end there, and one that is all to often forgotten! Thanks for all your videos Brandon.

thank you for filming the review with the actual camera. i dont understand why review channels think we care about seeing footage of them hold their review copy that was recorded with a completely different camera, instead of actually using it to film the review. then you end up jumping through the video to see their 4 or 5 sample clips instead of actually sitting down and watching the review.

By far my favorite review of the Sony A7sIII yet! Thank you for the mountain of sample footage, especially showing us the real world dynamic range performance.

King of Camera is Back

10:46 made me have tears in my eyes. I'm buying this asap.

This is the best way to review gear in my opinion. I find "lab testing" reviews useless especially when it brings into question the credibility of reviewers when all their videos are reviewing gear in their studio and never produce anything with it. Kudos to you Brandon for being the ONLY one showing when AF hunts/not ideal. Despite being exclusively a Sony user for the last few years you showed no hint of bias at all.

I love your reviews just because you talk not so much about the technical aspect of the camera, but instead you show it in real life scenarios.

love gerald undone reference... you tube today it's like infinity war cross over... I Love It

6:35 wow, wth is that? I really like this shot.

Dude I’ve been watching since the good ole a6500 days now...you could make that super 35 8bit look amazing and now this new camera... life is good

Probably the most decent review i’ve seen in a while. Love the honest ending at the closure. You got me interested in your channel!

Standard profile definitely looks better to my eye than SLog, no matter how you edit it. I find the same thing happens with many cameras. Sometimes those flatter profiles don't necessarily give you more "latitude" as promised, but they're just flatter and softer profile curves. I notice this with the GH5 as well, no matter what approach I take to grading if I shoot their extremely flat Vlog profile I can never quite pull that data back to where the cine-D would have been. Perhaps shooting 12 bit could fix that, but it does beg the question how "flat" of a profile is truly necessary in order to get a good shot. If the standard doesn't look good then there is a good chance it's just not a great shot to begin with.

You're insane. Such quality for a review, loving your content.

Fantastic video, review, and pacing, thank you for not rushing anything, doing edit skips on your reviews and angles, and relaxing music as well that just makes you appreciate the content and camera even more.

That's it. The autofocus has decided it for me. Incredible.

Loved it Brandon!! You have an excellent approach to reviewing gear from a creative perspective. Also thanks for the fun collab on grading and the shoutout! That 10-bit footage can be stretched a long ways!! Cheers!

6:53 beautiful shot. I love a review that shows extensive footage rather than talk about it. That standard profiles looks even better now. The shadow recovery looked great! For documentary work, that could be a great option. The Catalyst software stabilisation deep dive review is pretty exciting. Software stab is where its at, its far superior now..with the GoPro and iPhone as huge examples. Please Sony just integrate it onto FCPX!

Been watching this channel for a month now... Fantastic straightforward reviews and tutorials, not a moment wasted.

Okay, okay, okay. Almost literally drooling over this footage and grading. But that catalyst stabilization got me hooked. You win, Mr. Li.

Your grade has improved a lot! Also the ProMist filters are making your footage much better

Great Review Brandon, thanks for all the effort going into it!! In regards to the editing performance 7:44 There are 3 Codec Options (XAVC-HS , XAVC-S & XAVC-I) it is a bit of a misconception of a lot of people that these offer different image quality (they might differ slightly in some very fine motion detail like rain or forest leaves). Really these codecs offer different workflow-choices (filesize/editing performance) XAVC-HS is meant to give you small filesize with its efficient compression but the editing performance of it is terrible. XAVC-I will give you great editing performance (similar to ProRes which is an All-Intra Codec aswell) without need for proxies but you'll have really big files (and in scenes with a lot of movement and fine detail the compression could be better). XAVC-S is sort of in the middle: the filesize should be within the other two and the editing performance is not great but allright. So i think you should never choose your framerate depending on the editing performance. It's a creative choice after all and there are plenty of codec options to support your desired workflow.

Brandon! Thanks this is exactly what the internet needs! I only had a few hours with the camera before my shoot so I assumed S-log3 would be the best but now I'm sold on the Standard Creative Style!

One of the best camera review I have ever seen. I liked this so much because you talked about the camera while showing us the video samples not by just talking about the camera in A- roll while holding the camera in hand lol

Amazing review! love this, very practical! thank you~!

I noticed something very strange, at 12800 ISO there's quite a bit of noise but suddenly when it jumps up to 25600 the image is clean again. How?

I'll never be able to watch a review the same way again. You just took it to another level. Well done!

The best sony review EVER

1:10 I can't listen to this song without thinking of the team deakins podcast

Loved this video, super informative! What kind of mic set-up did you use while filming the talking parts and did you notice any autofocus noise (without a mic)? Thanks!!

not a big fan of the guy and his shooting style but just the one honest phrase here how you shouldn't splash out for the newest cam and the examples of the footage he made with other cameras makes me respect him. well done, Brandon

this is like black magic!! I mean not the camera but Brandon Li's videography skills!

best review, amazing footage. thanks bro.

I hope Kobe's getting paid for all these acting shoots she's been on. Great review my dude 🙌 I'm stoked to see the video on the catalyst stabilization

My man this is hands down one of the best if not the best review I've even seen, beautifully done. Cheers my guy

Awesome to see you in New Mexico Asian Paul Rudd. This review was so helpful thank you 🔥

Love this video

LOVE this video! The a7siii is my DREAM camera and this did nothing but made me fall even more in love with it. Thank you.

I must say this was one of the best reviews on the new Sony A7SIII I've seen and I've seen them all!! Very informative and lots of great examples. I really liked how you explained some of the BTS shots too!

Dude, you are high quality 8k reviewer! Your work is amazing, you just pitched a sale! Anyway, just wanted to say that this is the most amazing review ever for the A7III I ever watched :) Amazing, cinematic, beautiful. In one work? Epic :) Kind bow, you are amazing! :) Respect for the quality and fine details and passion :) Through this video I felt like I forgot about the pandemic, the hard times, the rough things, it`s wishful thinking :) Good job, you rock! Signed, a guy from Romania :)

thats why i love your review coz your sample footage are shot with different lighting conditions direct sunlight,overcast etc. and thank you for not putting heavily graded luts to the sample footage. you are the best

You are my KZfaq God. I took lots of inspiration from your shooting style and passion, that I reflect in my channel. Thank you for that 🙏👍

I really appreciate including the examples shots where the auto focus was challenged. That was very helpful. Loved the entire review. And I'm not really a Sony guy. Yet. What a fantastic effort on your part to put this together. Much appreciated. If Gerald is the tech nerd, you are the run and gun nerd. Plenty of love here for Mr. Bloom and Kasey as well. You guys are awesome.

22:52 - 23:24 is exactly what i needed to hear, but it was also inspiring. Great review!

You know what's called perfection.. *Watch intro again*

i've watched all his review, not just to know about whatever gadget it is but also observing his style and get a lot of tips from him

maaan, there are tons of effort in here. respect. thanks for this sincere review.

This is the best footage I've seen from the A7s iii. I've been waiting for this since my A7 iii.

dude you really made the standard profile look better than most log footage on youtube. Incredible

This is so comprehensive in real world usage. What a useful video

Your dedication is appreciated. Getting the ASIII soon and your tips along. Subscribed, thank you! See you, Brandon!

For me personally one of the best reviews of the camera I’ve seen, enjoyed and been educated. I also love your reality comment at the end. If you need it and can justify it, buy it. If not continue using what you have. 2020 has been incredible for camera releases of all types and I’m sure there are more to come. I’m happy to wait it out a bit but yes I’m so tempted. Bravo.

Always some of the best filmmaking videos on KZfaq Brandon 👍 Didn’t disappoint on this one. Excellent.

Next to the very technical reviews of Gerald, this is the way reviews should be done. Tons and tons of great footage in various situations. Thank you for doing this!

This camera's footage looks stunning in every review I saw - Sony nailed it !

dude it just like watching a fantastic movie when watching ur KZfaq review, thanks a lot for making this video!

This is the best review i have seen so far. Amazing work, and thank you for taking the time to show us not just tell us. Brilliant!

The slowmo @ 6:37 is DOPE!!😍

that slow mo shot with purple screen is almost unreal wowwwwwwwwwww

Just bought the Sony A7siii lens I'm very excited to use it. I can't wait to start shooting KZfaq videos and more content on instagram, and all platforms. 10/10 of a video

This is what I call a review. Very good job, excellent creativity in explaining your point, users like me who look for visual result rather than taking reviewers word. Well done. Subscribed

hands down the best review of the a7siii!!! amazing work on this Brandon Li :) this is what camera reviews should be!! :) actual real life shooting scenarios all explained and awesome crazy footages as well!! big fan of your work!

Gamelan Intro took me back to my days in Bali

Me imaging the days of filming and editing that went into this.. wow man! Thanks for making this for us! I can't wait to use this thing for my channel

Wow! This is epic. This is the review that is not boring. Congrats man! Love it. More samples less talk.

the best review! i am gonna buy an A7siii after 4 years of improving my skillset. Ready to take the jump to the next step!

Hi, Could you please clarify for me(sorry if it's a dummy question ). Could this camera film a crisp, sharp video, not only a cinematic look?(it looks too soft to me). For example like on this video "Canon EOS R6 Sample Video #1: 4K UHD, 30p" (32sec video) And what do you think is it good for filming fast-moving objects like fighter jets?

Love especially the thumbnail shot in the white desert. The separation between subject and background is amazingly neutral and the images in the whole review have a really good depth and dimensional feel (not just screaming for bokeh). In the right hand almost every camera can look good, but it seems the A7sIII really is a tool that even those with "the right hands" can still tickle out more detail and flair every time they use it. It´s amazing for how small it is and while cine cameras take the cake, as well as some of the R5 8K RAW and such, the fact that this camera is one of the "cheaper" options while maintaining such a small form factor is amazing - even if it´s not "THE BEST". But tbh, even if people say different, 95% of them still wouldn´t or couldn´t use the full potential anyway - me included.
