Very fair and professional. Unlike some reviewers, you clearly understood what this camera is, what it's for, and what it represents and what it doesn't represent. What an exciting time to be a photographer!

We appreciate your perspective. We wanted to give it a fair shake for what it is designed for. I am glad to hear that you see value in that.

Another thing that's worth considering is that the things that the a9iii does well can't really be done with high end editing well, like catching more moments in general, pre capture, rolling shutter, etc. but things that it may lack ever so slightly, megapixels, dynamic range, noise, are all advancing quickly as post processing afterthoughts. So while it's still expensive/new it really is a kind of jack of all trades for most people, just not there on the price yet.

It’s nice to see a nice, long, thorough video from you folks! Looks like a lot of work, good job! (Side note: apparently a selection of Profoto flashes have flash durations of 1/80,000th. I would imagine the story might be similar for high FPS flashes from Broncolor or Elinchrom)

Really good intro. Liked the demonstration of global shutter with bow-string on release. Also the flash and ambient light challenges were informative. Not a product I am specifically interested in, however the coverage of the global shutter is very well done and a good video production for a variety of audiences with enough duration to have the sense of thoroughness. Drew is the standout segment with good cadence, editing, and explanations of what we are looking at in the comparisons, and otherwise well done Evelyn and Dave.

1:20 It's funny how mirrorless FF cameras (other than Canon and Nikon) keep incrementally getting bigger and more D-SLR-like in handling/ergonomics to improve handling, as if it's some new revolution....a camera that's comfy to hold/use with lenses you'll actually need/use in real life (not everyone shoots with a pancake lens on a paper thin body to get sneaky photos of strangers on the subway). Just an observation. 😃

@jazzbass111 4 ай бұрын

I see you've talked about fast shutter flash, and adjusting the camera to delay it in order to sync with a flash, BUT I haven't seen you use a sync cable, instead of a radio flash transmitter. Would that make a difference??

@quagmire321able 4 ай бұрын

Nice review. For flash sync, not sure if Sony cameras do tell the flashes what is its shutter speed setting but if they do, it will be an easy firmware fix for 3rd party manufacturers to preprogram the flash delays at various shutter speeds and power-levels but... if not, it will be one of the many "Sony" only features they reserve for Sony flashes to give themselves an advantage vs 3rd party flashes like what they do about video AF with adapted lenses, no 3rd-party teleconverters, etc etc

@evenhandedcommentor6102 4 ай бұрын

I'd like to see a comparison of different flashes and how much power/range/guide number as you increase the shutter speed above the more typical snyc speed of 1/250. How do various flashes compare at 1/8,000 shutter speed? And what about firing the flash at 1/2 power, or 1/4 power or 1/8th power and so on. So, if you want to take a series of shots at 1/8,000 in rapid fashion, what flash can handle that at 10 fps or even 20 fps?

@351linzdoctor 4 ай бұрын

So true no one wants to test these things! Two flashes that will shoot this fast are the new Godox V1 Pro with the BP960 Battery pack and the Nissin MG80! I was told by a Godox Rep that with the BP960 Battery the V1 Pro will recycle to full power in less than one sec. The Nissin will keep with my Sony A99m2 at 12FPS but only at 250th sec before you go into HSS and Sony A1 at 20 FPS! They should be able to handle 8000th sec on the A9iii because you don't have to engage HSS which robs you of power. Have not updated the firmware on my Sony HLV-RM602 flash yet to see if it can shoot 30 FPS without over heating.

@evenhandedcommentor6102 4 ай бұрын

@@351linzdoctor Thanks....great info. I almost won a Sony HVL-F60RM2 on ebay today. Would have bid higher but I wasn't sure how it compared to Godox at the lower speeds of 1/8,000.

@markkuautio7831 4 ай бұрын

Thank you to good video. But why you don.t try it to Sony’s flash ? These flash sync all speed, when you upgrade them a new firmware. They work fawlessy.

As a A9MKI shooter I waited with anticipation convinced I would get the A9MKIII . I just don't think a new camera with the same MP and slightly lower image quality than my 2017 A9 is worth the £6000 they are asking. A £4500 A9MKIII with a stacked 33mp would have got my money. So I have now ordered an A1 as prices have come down. I do think with this camera aimed at such a small segment of the market place there is room in Sonys line up for a lower priced stacked camera to compete with the Z8 .

Is it wrong that I want them to make a new version of the NEX-VG900E with this sensor.

@heidismerek4163 3 ай бұрын

I think the Sony a9iii has its place but not for wildlife. It may be fast enough but the resolution isn’t unless you can get really close to your subject. 24mp doesn’t give much room to crop if needed.

@renestaempfli1071 4 ай бұрын

The flash technology is way behind the advanced technology of the A9III. It's like driving a racing car with mediocre tyres. You will never the get the real performance of the car. There is currently only one flash on the market, that is powerful enough, which is the Broncolor Satos Series with it's rectangular flash curve.

Why couldn’t you go to 100 ISO? I know the base is 250 but it has an expanded ISO of 100 available I thought..

@thatjordandrake 4 ай бұрын

Expanded base ISOs are not useful. On the a9 III you will get identical results whether you shoot at 100 ISO ISO Expanded or shoot at 250 ISO, overexpose by 1.3 stops, and bring the exposure down in post. Either way, you're throwing away over a stop of highlight information. It's complicated, but my recommendation is to always ignore the lower expanded ISO options.

So sick of these "reviews" where any cons are conveniently glossed over for early review access. Thankfully Petapixel review highlights the serious dynamic range and APS-C level noise for a $6000 USD Camera.

@TheCameraStoreTV 4 ай бұрын

We often share access with Chris & Jordan (my husband) from PetaPixel. While they focused more on their sensor findings for their video, we focused more on the performance and practical use in action photography. It would be boring if we all did the same thing with our time with the sample units. - Evelyn

@nevvanclarke9225 4 ай бұрын

Given that you can't take this type of camera into an NFL game or an nba game with a long Lens essentially this is restricted to college level sport or community sport Not sure why you D spend $6000 for that top of camera and given its poor image quality already that we can see problems no professional portrait photographer is going to say this camera is going to be successful from a selling point of view but it is a complete flop

@yes_senpai8880 4 ай бұрын

Wait what? Why couldn’t you attach the 400mm F2.8 to this and bring it to an NFL game (assuming you have creds)?

@mdw1927 4 ай бұрын

Somebody got out of bed the wrong side. This is a niche camera designed for profi sports and wildlife photographers. Are you implying that accredited sports photographers are not allowed to use long lenses in NFL or NBA games? However I do believe there exists other types of sports. I am not defending this camera saying its the best of the best and certainly there are better cameras for different genres. However I could not claim to judge a cameras real life performance until I have used it and not just rely on a few KZfaq videos.
