Wow. I was hoping the a9iii was the Camera for flickering lights. But I realize it just doesn't detect it reliably still

Хватит уже нахваливать, перешёл с а74 на а93, и в спорте по фокусу а74 гораздо лучше. В а93 процент брака по фокусу увеличился до 20%!

You don’t make sense not to upgrade😏just you’re an ND filter

from a practical point of view would it not make (more) sense to use the OM-1 M2 and shoot at silent e shutter mode dropping to 1/30sec ( I do this with the A7rIII but since the IS is so bad there is a lot of blurry shots )

0 banding with the A9iii, it's a game changer. Sure you can catch different phases of the lighting, but that's exactly what is happening in reality, that our eyes cannot see. If at some point, the light is off, only the A9iii can capture a dark image.

Thank you for this review especially on the flickering & bending. I would love to see an updated video with the newest firmware installed on the A1 & A9 cameras as there are reports of the A1 having improvements on: AF for further distance and subject recognition, image stabilization, faster boot up time, smaller compressed file to increase the buffer rate without effecting the IQ.... I would not buy the A9III due to the 24MP sensor. As an event photographer coming from Canon/Fuji 16MP~24MP to Sony A7IV 33MP to A7RV 61MP and now A1 50MP I have found the invaluable benefit of high MP sensor that allows me to use a much shorter, lighter and brighter aperture lens to achieve much better results like using a 135mm f/1.8 in APS-C mode to achieve 202.5mm at f/1.8 with much lower ISO or/and faster shutter speed especially during indoor sports events vs my 70-200mm f/2.8 GM II or Tamron 35-15mm f/2.0-f/2.8. 120 FPS Pre-capture and improved AI focus (works poorly on the A7RV due to its old 99ms sensor readout speed and low recalculation speed and none during blackout) are features I can see useful to me as I definitely don't need 120FPS even in sports or the tilt/swivel screen that I ended up having the screen in closed position 99% of the time to protect the LCD screen and just using the high resolution EVF instead on the A7RV (cool to have but just an extra dead weight for the way I shoot). Thanks again for this great video.

WHOA, so you cannot shoot 1/80000 at 1.2 or 1.4? Is this still a thing since the latest firmware update?

very good test!! answer lots of questions

An a9iii video thats not 5 months old. Sweet! Well done.

can you dial in the variable shutter speeds such as 1/199sec via Custom buttons ???

9:01min THE BIG ONE !

It's really a problem from the LED manufacturing end that should be fixed. I use at home all LED lights and they're rated at 60Hz but they never flicker even tried 1/1000s and they all look consistent. They have a power regulator as it seems so they're somehow constantly on or something. They cost exactly the same as the flickering ones and they're super cheap as well. I hope one day this stuff can be fixed from an LED point. So far been filming in 23.98fps at 1/50s and never had a problem, but would never try 60 or 120fps on my a7SIII. Amazing review and this is what I really needed to know. This is one of the weddings if you wanna check out. Maybe the excess amount of lights mitigate the effect or maybe because the spotlights we have here that have regulators, I think, are more common and unintentionally put in most homes and weddings halls: ruclips.net/video/DQ47giCG1dY/видео.html It's a long one, so jump into parts of the video and you'll see even the street lights, that are LED's as well, have zero flickering at 1/50s. Overall never had a problem with 1/50s so far.

Next time change your metering to get better flicker adjustment

Weather chasers are quite keen on the trying the 9iii this spring. Lightning is one of the most worst subjects for inducing flicker and tearing. Here's what a GS should do for us. ruclips.net/video/b3BP_Gy-Fi0/видео.html

Very beautiful

As of today, April 17th, 2024, your review is UNIQUE because of the following reasons: 1. You DEMONSTRATE in DETAILS how the global shutter helps reduce the FLICKERING of the lighting in both stills and videos. 2. You also show in details how the global shutter eliminates the BANDING in both stills and videos. No other RUclipsr has done it so far. We need MORE REVIEWERS LIKE YOU. Thank you

Great review. I've owned my A9III for about a month, and I find it to be perhaps the best camera I've ever had the privilege of using. Comparing it to my Canon EOS R3, I find that the A9 III takes a technological lead with its otherworldly autofocus. This is further compounded with the amazing performance of the Global Shutter Sensor. Next-level IBIS and all packaged in a much more compact and portable body. And this is done while maintaining excellent ergonomics. It really is hats off to Sony on an amazing product. Comparing to my other Sonys, the A9 III is the most advanced Sony mirrorless camera I've used to date. I'll go one better, looking at the Burano. I believe it's this sensor Sony should have utilized in that camera. The dynamic range is on par and it solves all the problems with rolling shutter that are experienced in a much more costly Burano. I’ve done extensive testing comparing the A9III with the Canon, Fujifilm XH2S, Red and even my GFX100 II. I was surprised to see the massive dynamic range advantage I expected to see from the GFX simply did not exist in practical terms. For video, the A9III reminds me of the Red. Both will shoot a noisy image, but they clean up nicely in post, and the image does so while retaining detail. The FHD mode is great also, with similar performance to the UHD mode… unlike the XH2S that while oversampling the FHD image the output is largely unusable. The noise in FHD on the Fujifilm is different in this mode… it’s not a fine grain… it’s not filmic. It’s just ugly and does not clean up well. Sony deserves high praise for this offering. It is truly the greatest mirrorless camera money can buy as of this writing.

Hi! I'm a theater photographer, and have the same issue - it's so annoying. I can't really shoot action at lower shutter speeds like 1/60th to mitigate banding, so the A9iii seems like a great compromise. Are you saying that, you can burst shoot, and some images will be fine while others will be taken when the lights are off? Can you do this at, say, 1/500th of a second or faster without any banding in the images when the light has flickered on?

I own the A9, A1 and now the A9III for almost 2 month. The A9III is by far the best camera, SONY ever made. As a sports and concert photographer, I already shot thousands of pictures under various lighting conditions. DR and ISO is absolutely no problem. As of today, DxO released PureRAW support for the A9III. I tested the A9III with DxOpureRAW4 at ISO 51200. The results are better than with the A1. It is absolutely stunning, what DXO does to the RAW files of the A9III. Just try it. Also, using the SONY HVL-F60MR2 flash with the A9III is the best flash combo I have ever used. And I have used many, such a Elinchrom and Broncolor. In short, global shutter is the way to go.

This was EXACTLY why I was considering an A9iii - you just saved me $6k. And for that, I thank you! If the camera doesn’t fix flicker automatically, I’m out. This was such a great practical review. New sub here!

I love how practical and concise you reviewed the a9iii! You've earned my sub

How would you rank the Nikon Z6 in comparison to the Sony a7iii and Eos R now that it has all the updates (including eye AF) ?

Great video. Thank you

where did you get that skin tone reference chart?

Yankees = Untermenschen

Not a decision for a Sony hater like me

Que asco
