I just got an A1 in 2024 and I couldn’t be happier!!! It’s soo good, the autofocus is just insane, really and the 50mp create stunning images + the mechanical shutter sound is soo quiet that eliminates the need of using the silent shutter like Magic stated!!! For me the A1 is still The One!!!

Thank you for the video. I own the A7RV and A1 so I’m covered and really like the 1/400s flash sync speed of the A1. Also have A7CII and A7CR but with the single card slot use them for compact travel. A9III is interesting but prefer the higher resolution options and have not jumped to that yet. Sold my A7IV for A7CII and like the 33 Mpixel option. Take care.

You take on topics in a well-organized and to-the-point manner that I really enjoy. It feels like we're having a conversation where I've posed five questions and you're responding directly to them. Thanks! Now I'm waiting for a1 MkII to drive down prices of used a1, because I encounter a lot of flickering LED lights and displays in corporate event venues, and banding is getting to be a headache with my a7IV and a7RV. All-silent with no banding is the way I'd like to go, and flash sync with silent up to 1/200s would do the trick.

@Jeo-What 2 ай бұрын

Started with A7 IV and it was excellent camera that sync with me except the mechanical shutter was very loud. Upgraded to A7R V and it was feature powerhouse with wonderful 61MP to crop from and the mechanical shutter is half as loud as the A7 IV but still to loud in many events while the hit rate went down and does not feel as in sync when pressing the shutter. Upgraded to A1 and the silent electronic shutter is all I used now even started doing indoor sports photography without any flicker issue even not turning on the anti flicker feature. The 120/s AF/AE calculation shows up in the hit rate and still able to crop very nicely. I looked at A9III and can't really go back to 24MP once I tasted the potential of large MP sensor. Don't have enough need for flash sync speed over 1/500s right now.

Thanks for this really helpful overview. I shoot on an a7iv and I think I prefer it over the a7Rv (lighter body with better in low light). If I upgrade (or get another camera body) it might be for the a7cR. I’d love that for travel and as a second body for events.

@clausschuessler Ай бұрын

Great video and all pros and cons from a photographers point of view explained, but from a videographers point of view, the A7IV delivers the best 4K video quality. The reason is that 7K to 4K downsampling is better than downsampling from 8K or more. If you have twice as many pixels, you either skip every second pixel and line (line skipping) which increases the information distance between the pixels or you combine two pixels and lines (pixel bining) which decreases the sharpness when downsampling to 4K. So 33 mp is not only the sweetspot for photography but also the sweetspot for the sharpest video by downsampling to 4K. When video is as important as the photos, the A7IV or the A9III are better than the higher resolution cameras.

@zapadakofflv8560 2 ай бұрын

I like how you get people moving and then get natural photos. The A9III is a fantastic tool for such shooting with fast GM lenses. But honestly, most of us have to make do with the cheaper variant :) I have an a7iv with GM 1.4 lenses and it' s seriously very good for wedding photographer work.

@MagicWeddingPhotographer 2 ай бұрын

Thanks man! Yup A9III is beautiful. But to be 100% transparent with you - if not for this youtube channel / workshops I host with Sony, I would never considering buying A9III for just wedding photography myself. For weddings in Europe (with european rates for wedding photographers) it just not reasonable - unless you're shooting very high volume to justify that spending. That is why I feel like the price is a huge deciding factor and put it in the cons of both A1 and A9III for weddings.

I am still perfectly fine using my A7 IVs, they are just very well balanced cameras that are very capable in most situations, yet they don't break the bank. So for now, I'll use them for some more time. The question is whether I may replace them one day with A7 V but I don't think it will come out this year (and it's not really needed anyway). I'm kinda starting to think about what features it may have. I'm expecting that the new type of screen, 2 CFExpress Type A slots and the AI unit are a no brainer. I still hope there is more to come. If A9 III was able to bring global shutter, then I think it would be nice for A7 V to have a stacked sensor for under $ 3000. And if not so, then definitely a better sensor with faster readout is absolutely necessary so that it can handle 4K 60p without crop.

A7IV is a beatiful camera and does not fall behind the other 3 as much, as the difference is price! If A7V comes with stacked sensor and will bring functional silent shutter then it's all we need tbh

I use 2 x A9II for stills with silent shooting, which are bargains used. My third body is A7RV. This way I get perfect silent shooting at a sensible 24mp plus the beauty of 61mp for ultimate studio quality and the latest bells and whistles. If I sold all 3 bodies It would get me ONE A9III. I'll stick with what I have.

@woodworkingphoto8083 2 ай бұрын

I think A9II is probably the best all round still, for price, silent shutter and not massive files. I shoot 2x A9II. I have an A7RV also and the way you shot primes in MRaw is very cool but I dont do video at all so for me my A9II set up is still ideal. Sony really have flooded the market with amazing choice which is so refreshing. There is something for everyone when everyone's needs are very unique to them!

I own A1 A9 and A7IV all great cameras. A7IV is amazing value for money and I would have no worries shooting a wedding or event with it. I do love the silent shutters of both my A9 and A1 both amazing cameras. Since buying the A1 it's made me realise just how good the A9mki is, even today it's a fantastic camera. For now the A1 will remain my main camera with A9 as the second body. Only thing the A1 is not as good as the A9, is moiré . I shoot people in front of a large LCD screen a lot and moiré is a pain. It's harder to combat on the A1 than the A9. Would love to know how the A9MKIII copes with this type of moiré.

I know you had to mention the new a9 mark 3, but A9 mark 2 is still an amazing camera for weddings and a lot cheaper now with a9 mark 3 being realised, If i had to change anything on the mark 2 it would be the view finder and the back screen. while they are not horrible, but after having the Rv its hard to un see it! 🤣 The focus system is almost on par with a1 if not the same. The low light capabilities is simply amazing and blows a74 and Rv out of the water. Yes its 24 mega pixels, but that is IMO perfect for weddings. it is a little older than the A1, but still very relevant today. You could pick up an very good condition one for 2k or new for 3.5k. 20 frames a second on electric shutter for confetti is enough, though I friggin loved your 120 demo of the couple in the snow.I can see a use for that. I have had a play with the A9 mark 3 and the body is the best Sony has made to date, simply amazing! Great vid as always Magic, thank you!

Yes. I actually had it covered in my last years video. A9II is an amazing camera - AF performance, files, shutter but have one huge downside - not capable of doing any video... no picture profiles, no eye af with tracking etc. Which is fine if you're not doing any video.

Great video. Aside from rolling shutter (banding) issues with a7IV, the mechanical shutter is the lowest quality compared to the others as well, so if you are shooting a lot with it, even if it lasts (which many don’t) to the rated 200k, it’s still much lower than the others which (I think) are rated to 500k. The a7IV would probably be my last choice since the potential shutter issues would give me anxiety. - I use mine primarily in electronic/silent shutter mode since I’m mostly shooting landscape with it. Now my a7IV is my ‘b-cam’ since I got a7RIV When the A1 II comes out, that will likely be very good. But yeah, crazy expensive… 😢

Coming from a seasoned wedding photographer: 1. If you’re on a budget, get a used Sony a9 for $1300. It’s an extremely capable camera and in some instances it focuses better than Sony a1 (watch out for a loose hot shoe). 2. If you’re not on a budget, get a Sony a1. It didn’t impress me as much as a9 back in the day, but it’s still worth it if you buy it used ($4500). My main cameras always have stacked sensors, because I don’t want the bokeh to be distorted in bright scenarios. 3. If you don’t really care about bokeh in bright conditions or f1.4 lenses looking like f1.8 lenses aren’t a problem for you, get a7IV, the rotating display is worth it, and 33Mp is almost like the old a7R. I personally shoot with Sony a1+primes and Sony a7RIV+zooms, because I appreciate extra resolution and the availability to zoom in digitally.

Again, there are benefits to higher pixel counts. There are also drawbacks. For some, noise isn’t that important. Magic is right. If you expose accurately, it’s not too bad. I don’t even shoot in ISOs above 1600 very often, personally. I wouldn’t mind the extra pixels for situations where I’d like to crop to a square format. Then again, the 22 megapixels I have when I do that kind of crop on my A7IV is more than enough. I can still make nice large prints, if I want. They’re all great cameras.

Sony A7siii for example has less megapixel for trading off for bigger pixel size and less noise per pixel. But the sensor is still full frame. With A7rV, in the same full frame, you have nearly twice the megapixel (61 vs 12). If you downsize A7rV photo down to 12 megapixel you get an effect of pixel binning (not exactly but effectively reducing the noise). That's what I meant.

@@rnrnrkrk994 i see. Basically, if you printed an 8 by 10 from either camera, you’d see approximately the same amount of noise. He’s say that you have to downsize, in our case, the a7r5 to the 33 megapixels of the a7iv for a fair comparison. DXOMark gives the a7iv the very slightest edge in high iso performance (which by their measure isn’t noticeable, it’s less than 1/3 EV). I’m going to downsample an a7r5 image and compare it to an a7iv image with the same ISO and compare…for fun.

I seriously think Sony would like us to buy them all. See how easy that was...

Yup. We're the losers here sadly in that trap of consumerism

So far nothing matched the pleasure of shooting A1. But I think I'm going to move with A9III this year to see how much I like it

It boggles the mind that wedding photography existed before the error of mirrorless cameras with supreme autofocusing and low-light capabilities. How in the world did photographers get "the shot" back in the day? 😜

Especially with film. I guess that’s why they were so expensive back in the day and not everyone could do it.

@@tonygerassi1502 Yes, I think you are right. The thing is that definitely a good photographer could get the shot back in the day but with the technology we have today, it's much easier. Also, I would argue that the overall technical quality is on a different level these days.

I'm answering the most asked question I get almost daily in my DMs from fellow wedding photographers. Not sure if there's another wedding photographer discussing those cameras based on experience. If you can share some interesting videos you've seen on the subject - I would love to see that.

I've watched lots of other videos about each of these cameras, but this one is by far the best at organizing the information for making decisions between them.

@DieHardEddieEdwards 2 ай бұрын

The only pushback I'd offer here is that the A7RV isn't really good for video. Rolling shutter is really bad and the detail out of it isn't great. The A7IV is the best price for money. The A1 is the most expensive, but the best.

a 9iii is a total floap as far as strobes and flashes and studio photography flashes do not keep up with strobes it needs to be setup manually each time for speed syncs and color shifts constantly and picture resolution fails above apertures of f5.6 noise is horrible its totaly not for studio whatever you are selling or preaching is wrong ! the only point that A93 stand at is videography its the biggest selling point. I had the camera for about 3 weeks and i was totaly happy to have used it for videograohy but when it came to photography wedding portraits , macro- birds fast action ( Resolution, ISO ----) ,studio and overall usage A1 is still the best by far

@MagicWeddingPhotographer 2 ай бұрын

what strobes are you talking about? I have no experience in studio work and probably wouldn't consider A9III for studio camera - not enough megapixels, no need for that kind of speed in the studio. But I've used it with bunch of Profoto lights outdoors and it works with zero issues.

not sure what are you referring to, but we're talking using flash at weddings, correct? And how A9III can be used with flash for wedding photography, which is what I do for living. I personally haven't encounter any issues (yet) using on-camera and off-camera Profoto a1x, a10 or any of the b-series. @@yohannsphotographyvideogra9542

@@MagicWeddingPhotographer profoto studio strobes b10x plus have u ever used monolights ? So i see you dont get it this camera is not for studio portrait photography and i wont use it for any photography neither cause resolution is not enough and for sure u cant crop as well and noise level is not clean as well so if you want info on studio and portrait once its not the right camera

A7V has a silent mode.

@JosefFoti 2 ай бұрын

It does, but the sensor has slow read out speed, so it's not very reliable. If you shoot fast action, it will suffer from rolling shutter and it has the problem with banding under most artificial lights that are not specifically made for photography.
