@@JakeSloan I am fairly certain IlikeTRAINS5 is referencing a comparison video that Peter Lindgren did, which was exactly as described above; no actual comparisons between shots, just him sitting and talking. That video was terrible. This video was so much better.
Think the same. And best guys are the ones who are not talking about their experience but just reading stats. A camera review sitting on the table is like testing cars this way.
This is an impressive outstanding video! I get tired and bored when people go on and on about the camera comparison specs; You show us in direct real-world footage how these two awesome cameras perform in different settings and in specific environmental conditions. You ROCK Jake! Thumbs up my friend from Kingsport, TN!
Great review. From what I see, the A7iii will still be an outstanding pick for 95% of us non-professionals and we can buy an exceptional lens with the extra $1400. Thanks for putting this together, I can tell you spent a lot of time doing it.
The a7iii is an amazing camera for the hybrid shooter. Even tho the low light isn't as good as the A7siii, it's still waaayy better than everyone else. Great video 👌🏽
Always appreciate that you're actually outside in the field talking to the camera and using it. The A7III is still one of the best hybrid camera's out there. Can't wait for the new version to come out!
Great video Jake! I do like ur point about the autofocus being usable even in extreme under/over exposed conditions. But the a7iii seems to be holding its own in a lot of situations!
Thank you so much! Yeah aside from the great lowlight performance of the auto focus and of course much more options for video shooting the a7iii is still a FANTASTIC camera for all around creators. Cheers!!
My thoughts exactly,I mean we hear everything about it having greater dynamic range ans better colour science but is it worth the extra 2 thousdand dollar upgrade...not so sure,am glad I came across this review
I've been researching different cameras to buy for the past 6 months but somehow only stumbled across your videos today. All I can say is I'm so glad that I did! You have the most in depth and useful reviews + comparisons that I've come across, and seeing the cameras being used in the field have made it so much easier for me to decide what will work best for my situation. Thank you so much and keep doing what you do!
Thank you so much!!! That is the reason I do the reviews the way I do. I want to show everything in use in the real world as much as possible to help people decide
Yeah dude, price is never lie. But My budget still on a7 iii.. Do you recommend this camera in 2021, still worth it to buy? Probably i use for videography, filming, hobby, sometimes job maybe.
Appreciate the fact that you linked a raw material for me to download for free to see if my laptop can do well in editing! You saved me %0 bucks of renting a camera!
Great video - thanks. I have an A7S3 and was wondering if it was worth getting the A73 for photos as I want to print around A3 size, ore do you think the A7S3 is going to be good enough. Mainly portrait photos? Cheers again
The A7sIII is good enough for A3 with no issues. if you want a higher megapixel camera for photo work (I do a bit as well) then I would recommend waiting to see what the A7iv has to offer later this year. Cheers!
Great video. I'm new to Sony, so what's a good all-rounder first lens for the these two cameras? What lens did you use for the side-by-sides in the vid? Thanks.
Glad to hear it. Most all of these shots were filmed with the tamron 17-28 which is a great lens! For a great all rounder I’d look at the tamron 28-75 or the 17-28 depending on what kind of stuff you shoot. I have a video of the lenses I use and why here: ruclips.net/video/eqVEIj_zPww/видео.html
The one thing I notice immediately is that the SIII has much better detail both in photo and video, and I think it's because of the lack of AA filter. When I moved from the original A7S mark I to the A7III, I noticed that my A7S had much better detail even though it was only 12mp. I find the A7III rather quite soft when you look at edges or high contrast scenes. I also notice the same thing with my old Fuji X-Pro1 which also has no AA filter, it has a much nicer/sharper look (though very bad dynamic range compared to the A7III. Still, the A7III is a great camera with a lot to offer but I do miss the details of the S series. Great video.
I would go with the A7III for more photo work or the A7rIII if you can afford it. If you can wait a few months the rumors are that Sony will be releasing the A7IV early next year. That said the A7III is a great price right now at 1,600 USD on sale
The ISO performance works in video and photo modes. I shot all this in standard profile not log to show what is possible straight out of camera. Cheers!!
Love your video Jake. I'm thinking of picking up the A7Siii based on your review for video. What lens would you recommend for this camera for low light indoor shooting and night time video recording? I want the perfect walkaround lens that can give me good portrait shots in low light as well and also shoot objects (not landscape) at night. Thanks in advance!
The best low light would be the Sony 24mm 1.4 Gm lens but it only gives you one focal length. I would recommend the Tamron 28-75 f2.8 for a great all around lens
I have neither camera, but am looking to get a good hybrid. Should I wait til the A7 IV?? R5? A7s3? I shoot photography more than video, probably like 65/35, 70/30
If you can wait till early next year then wait. Sony will likely release or at least announce the a7iv and it would be a great camera for you. The R5 and r6 are excellent photo cameras if you only ever need to shot short clips of video here and there but the over heating issues really need to get worked out to be able to use them for significant video use.
Yeah then you could def go for the R5 or R6. If you do lots of landscape or bird photography then go for the R5 but if you do Astro or low light then go for the R6. It has better low light performance
I recently discovered your channel when I needed to set up my Ronin SC. I can't wait to finally get my hands on an a7SIII so I'm saving this one. BTW, what lav mic are you using? I need a good one and the audio quality is great!
Thanks! For almost all my on camera audio I use the Deity D3 Pro mic. You can see my review of it here: ruclips.net/video/Jf_fXBjaIUw/видео.html Cheers!
Another awesome review Jake! Currently have the A7III for Real estate work. Would you think the A7Siii would be a good hybrid for photo and video for real estate?
well if you plan to use my affiliate link then YES. lol So if all you do it real estate photos and video then I would say sort of. The video is a big improvement in dynamic range etc so if you are doing higher end properties that you want to show off the interior as well as the views through the windows at the same time then yeah this camera will do that. If you want to film from outside into the interior or the other way around then yes since it has the shockless white balance (transitions smoothly through white balance changes) but if you don't really need those things then I'd stick with the A7III until next year when the a7iv is released. It will likely inherit some of the video features etc and be a better photo camera as well.
Jake Sloan totally agree! I shoot my videos in 60 frames so having 4K 60 10bit 422 would be niceee, could always use a7iii for photos and siii for video
Very true and the 4K 60 and 120 is just amazing on this camera. I’m pretty much doing the same. A7iii is photos and a7sIII is video (and photos in a pinch or when I’m traveling light) cheers!!
I think the A7iii is something special, and after watching this have zero desire to upgrade. The photo comparison put the nail in that coffin. Excellent video, btw.
Awesome vdo. I absolutly clear about the image quality. I would like to know about Sony a7iii can use for vdo stock footage such as shutterstock, adobe stock. Because it is reasonable price for me. Thank from Thailand.
Nice and comprehensive comparison, thank you, Jake Sloan! I currently own an A6300, I use it mainly for video. I saw the difference between A7iii and A7Siii. But I wonder, is there a mind-blowing difference between A6300 and A7iii in the video department, or should I go straight to A7Siii? It's a big financial difference as you know. Thank you! I would really appreciate your opinion.
The difference between the a6300 and a7III would not be huge, you would see a bigger difference between the 6300 and the A7c which has better colors and much better auto focus plus the flip out screen and the battery light would be considerably better.
@@JakeSloan Thanks! Got it! I'll stick to A6300 for now, I'll get a 18-105 f4, besides my Sigma 16 f1.4. I'll save some more till I'll have enough for A7Siii, mean time maybe A7IV will be released.
No need to teanscode for proxies. Just enable proxy recording and the proxy file is saved on the same memory card in the folder labeled "SUB". After that it is just a couple clicks in Adobe Premier to use the proxy.
Richard's World Traveler that is one of the workflows that works well. I haven’t had the need to do it yet but I could see people with less powerful or older computers it would be a life saver
Thank you for the comparison, I see that A7III still has some advantages over A7SIII. I just want the flipping screen though but I think I'll hold on to my A7III for now. Their shots are indistinguishable side by side.
They are very close very very close. I would wait for the a7iv which will probably come next year and will likely get some of the video features from the A7sIII. Cheers!
hey jake love from india , im pretty confused which camera to buy with a very tight budget A7iii would be better or A7siii ??? keep making videos and stay connected
thank you for your comparison but I am still confused between both if I wanna buy a camera for personal shooting what do you prefer ? and I see the price is big different between them
I would go for the a7III or the A7c if you are just shooting for personal stuff. The a7III if you plan on doing more photo work and the a7c if you plan on doing more video work
That was a really good video I have a question I have 3 Sony’s A7iii I don’t want to buy any gear right now because there is no a lot events for me :( But I really like the colors you did on the a7iii what PP are you using you said default but what is it ?
@@JakeSloan I tried the standar and my skys and colors are so Different from real life but I see yours and looks amazing I don’t know what I’m doing wrong lol 😂 And I been shooting for over 10 years mainly weddings but
Thanks for the excellent video, the real world side by side comparisons are really good, the cave comparison is on point. Wondering if you shot everything in the cave just handheld and if you used the Gyro data to stabilise that footage? Would be really cool to see a video demonstrating hand held Gyro stabilised footage of the A7Siii vs the non-Gyro stabilised footage in a real life situation - e.g. walking up and down hills/mountain side, walking in the caves on uneven surfaces and maybe demonstrating how it looks when you do a hop (perhaps over a stream) as well. The Gyro data is really intriguing.
You're welcome! In the cave I used a tripod in the cave since I was running in and out a bunch and I wanted to keep things exactly in the same spot. I plan on doing a comparison video with gyro vs standard vs active stabilization soon! Cheers
Sir a7rii is best for photography or a7c..which sharpnes dynamic range in. lowlight Excellent images quality which camera suggest me..a7iii a7rii a7c..please reply
Question I want to be a vlogger, but I am also worried about price, so should I buy the 20mm f 1.8 lens or spend the extra 800 investment on the 14mm f1.8 lens instead?
Hey Jake, I have an a6500 at the moment. I mainly do video but also really enjoy shooting portraits and landscape photography. Do you think the a7sIII would provide a good enough image quality for paying clients who want portraits??? Eventually I'd want a camera for video and a separate camera for photography, but at the moment I cannot afford to do that. Excellent video by the way. It's great to see a reviewer who actually provides well thought out real world examples instead of just talking about the cameras behind a desk!
Thank Nathan! I LOVE the a7sIII for photo work and I have used it for commercial work without anyone having an issue. I actually like it a bit better for some photo work since it has such great dynamic range. I would have no issue using it for photo work at all, I did a video about it here and do touch briefly on portraits: ruclips.net/video/pCBGg-oeGJ4/видео.html Cheers!
You're the best! Hope you reply to my comment too.. So detailed and so much to show, day time, cloudy, walking, driving, dark cave moments everything included! I've see you replied to every one of your comments, your the king! Maybe little advice to me? So if I'm beginner and don't wanna spend 10k on a gear + specific memory cards that cost 300-400$, lenses etc.. Would you recommend 7 lll to get started into videography and photography? I do have experience, just wanna step up more into intermediate level or better save up, spend some extra money and get the beast 7S lll?? Can't decide 7Slll, 7lll or 7c? Thanks!!:)
If you want to do mostly video work then I would recommend the a7c and some of the tamron lenses to start. if you want to do both video and photo work then get the a7III. You can see some of my favorite tamron lenses here: ruclips.net/video/eqVEIj_zPww/видео.html and you can see a comparison of the a7c and a7iii here: ruclips.net/video/HGP4Y6N4LdQ/видео.html Cheers
Hi, you mention that A7S3 isn't that good for astrophotography - I'm planning to get into more of Astrophotography, I'm confused between the A7C (which is same as the A73 in many ways) and the A7S3, but the lack of ability to shoot the milky way in all its glory will be a deal breaker for me. At the same time, A7C is just 8bit which is annoying. I would love to hear your advice please, thank you.
Thanks Jake - very useful comparison. Im a hybrid shooter mainly for social media content. Im just trying to figure if the A7S3 is overkill for my business. I really want my next camera to have excellent AF as I have to work so fast. I considered the A7C but cant figure if the ergonomics would slow me down.
Thanks for being super informative and providing an honest opinion about which camera you feel is best for which type of shooter, it was exactly the video I was looking for thanks man! Super well done visually too!
Great review, appreciate the side by sides. What lense are you using? I’m waiting for a restock of the A7siii since I plan on shooting 90% video with it.
@@JakeSloan that was on my list too lol. But I really want to get more into content creation (video). Are you planning on an updated review? I'd like the A7siii before my vacation next month but stock dates keeping being pushed up 😭. I'd love to explore some more sony alternatives (preferably full frame)
I tend to do more video, am thinking the Sony A7Siii may be the better for me...both look like great cameras though! Great comparison review on both cameras Jake!
Hi, I have question... I’m currently using a beginner apsc camera which is the Canon M50. I feel like I’m ready to upgrade. I mainly use my camera for video. I’m considering the sony A7III / A7C If I choose to upgrade to A7SIII will it be to advance for me? Should I go for the best camera or start with A7III / A7C first? thanks 😄
I did a whole video about the a7sIII photography here: ruclips.net/video/pCBGg-oeGJ4/видео.html but it Depends on the end use of the photos (print vs web etc) I’ve used mine for a lot of paid jobs that were mostly destined for web but I did just sell a few photos for a catalog. I would go higher megapixel (a7riii or rIV
GREAT video!! So informative and no bloating in the video. Has that Duo mic go? I have the Rode Videomicro and I actually think it's fantastic but not when the mic is facing away from you when you're switching from vlogging yourself to something in front of you lol I might leave the Videomicro for talking head stuff in my studio and get the Duo for vlogging
the d4 duo is excellent for vlogging etc exactly because of this! it's a great vlogging mic, I have a review filmed just need to edit and release it lol
Hey man ! Loved the comparison ! I'm interested in the videos you make of your hikes, cave exploration, and so on, do you have an other channel with them ? Cheers !
Hey im considering the a7 siii . now im far from a professional videographer but looking for some solid advice . I record rap battles and vlog , my main things im looking for 4k of course that can also record past 30 minutes 45 - 0ne hour preferably and up to date.future proof / and it has to be less than a year old which camera should i go for??
I was expecting raw footages to grade to see if I want to buy the camera..the only thing I don't like about the A7 series is that the slog-2 are complicated to grade..does 10 bit on the a7siii make it better than the 8 bit color on the a7iii to grade footage?
There is a link in the description but also some slog 3 files can be found through the link in this video: ruclips.net/video/YfuBIppRVwA/видео.html in short though slog 3 is fantastic and 10 bit makes a huge difference in color grading in post
I just got the A7SIII and im noticing that my old A7III has better sharpness and detail, I also noticed on your comparisons as well. Is it because the A7III has a 6K sensor
Hey Jake! You have any tips for matching both of these cameras in a video shoot situation? Is one of the Color profiles match closer to another? You touched on but could you explain? Thank you
The best way to match colors is to shoot in a log profile and then do color grading in post to match them up, I haven't looked into what it would take to match them up as default colors out of camera yet
@@JakeSloan Thanks for the reply! I was hoping for a bit easier workflow for run and gun situations since we use multiple people and having to teach everybody how to properly expose SLog is dicey unless you know what you're doing. Thanks again!

I second this comment. Outstanding work. Love my A7iii. Maybe pick up the A7siii someday if I get heavier into video.

The low light performance is really impressive. I didn't realize the ISO could go that high and still turn out decent footage.
Right? It's pretty incredible!
haha you're so casually filming camera reviews in some of the most incredible nature spots. Really awesome work!
Thank you very much!
The amount of work put into this video is stunning. Although, I am not photographer nor videographer I can appreciate it. Astounding work!

Thanks for the video. Another question, what mic do you use? Is it connected directly to the cam?
I use the Deity D3 Pro straight into the camera
Thank you for the comparison, I see that A7III still has some advantages over A7SIII. I just want the flipping screen though but I think I'll hold on to my A7III for now. Their shots are indistinguishable side by side.
They are very close very very close. I would wait for the a7iv which will probably come next year and will likely get some of the video features from the A7sIII. Cheers!
Great channel! I'm trying to decide whether canon r5 or sony a73 or sony a7s3. Useful info. Thank you!
you're welcome!
Well done !
thanks
hey jake love from india , im pretty confused which camera to buy with a very tight budget A7iii would be better or A7siii ???
keep making videos and stay connected
if you are on a tight budget then get the a7iii for sure
@@JakeSloan thank you so very much jake 🥰❤️❤️
thank you for your comparison but I am still confused between both if I wanna buy a camera for personal shooting what do you prefer ? and I see the price is big different between them
I would go for the a7III or the A7c if you are just shooting for personal stuff. The a7III if you plan on doing more photo work and the a7c if you plan on doing more video work
I mean between a7iii or a7Siii what do you prefer?
I much prefer the a7sIII
That was a really good video
I have a question I have 3 Sony’s A7iii I don’t want to buy any gear right now because there is no a lot events for me :(
But I really like the colors you did on the a7iii what PP are you using you said default but what is it ?
I actually just used the default camera colors on both, no picture profile at all and the style was on standard
@@JakeSloan I tried the standar and my skys and colors are so Different from real life but I see yours and looks amazing I don’t know what I’m doing wrong lol 😂
And I been shooting for over 10 years mainly weddings but
thanks for the help!
You’re welcome
Apologies if this has been asked already but are these shots straight out of the camera or graded? thanks!
Nope they were straight out of camera
@@JakeSloan cine color profile?
Hey Jake I do reflexions videos, like 15 min short movies , which one would be better ?
I would get the A7sIII if you can
@@JakeSloan tanks jake , can you recommend me a lengs for movie ?
Thanks for the excellent video, the real world side by side comparisons are really good, the cave comparison is on point. Wondering if you shot everything in the cave just handheld and if you used the Gyro data to stabilise that footage? Would be really cool to see a video demonstrating hand held Gyro stabilised footage of the A7Siii vs the non-Gyro stabilised footage in a real life situation - e.g. walking up and down hills/mountain side, walking in the caves on uneven surfaces and maybe demonstrating how it looks when you do a hop (perhaps over a stream) as well. The Gyro data is really intriguing.
You're welcome! In the cave I used a tripod in the cave since I was running in and out a bunch and I wanted to keep things exactly in the same spot. I plan on doing a comparison video with gyro vs standard vs active stabilization soon! Cheers
Sir a7rii is best for photography or a7c..which sharpnes dynamic range in. lowlight Excellent images quality which camera suggest me..a7iii a7rii a7c..please reply
the A7III and A7c are the same sensor. I would recommend the A7c since it has a better focus system. but if you just do photography the a7rII is best
Not in my budget but this video was fantastic. Thank you Jake, very informative and entertaining.
Thank you!
On the low light test, were both cameras at the same aperture and focus on the same area?
yes they were
Question I want to be a vlogger, but I am also worried about price, so should I buy the 20mm f 1.8 lens or spend the extra 800 investment on the 14mm f1.8 lens instead?
just get the 20mm, it's great for vlogging
What camera did you use for the parts where you were jolding it in your hand and talking?
the A7sIII
I LoLed at 6:05 when you did the comparison between the Sony A7SIII and your Iphone
Rofl. It had to be done…
This is really a comparison Jake. Happy New Year.
Thank you happy new year
Thanks for the video. Was looking for a comparison video of these two.
You’re welcome
Hey Jake, I have an a6500 at the moment. I mainly do video but also really enjoy shooting portraits and landscape photography. Do you think the a7sIII would provide a good enough image quality for paying clients who want portraits??? Eventually I'd want a camera for video and a separate camera for photography, but at the moment I cannot afford to do that. Excellent video by the way. It's great to see a reviewer who actually provides well thought out real world examples instead of just talking about the cameras behind a desk!
Thank Nathan! I LOVE the a7sIII for photo work and I have used it for commercial work without anyone having an issue. I actually like it a bit better for some photo work since it has such great dynamic range. I would have no issue using it for photo work at all, I did a video about it here and do touch briefly on portraits: ruclips.net/video/pCBGg-oeGJ4/видео.html Cheers!
I have one more question, what microphone have you been using on this video? Its sounds sooo clear and crisp. Has the sound been edited at all?
on pretty much all my videos I use this one: ruclips.net/video/Jf_fXBjaIUw/видео.html
You're the best! Hope you reply to my comment too.. So detailed and so much to show, day time, cloudy, walking, driving, dark cave moments everything included! I've see you replied to every one of your comments, your the king! Maybe little advice to me? So if I'm beginner and don't wanna spend 10k on a gear + specific memory cards that cost 300-400$, lenses etc.. Would you recommend 7 lll to get started into videography and photography? I do have experience, just wanna step up more into intermediate level or better save up, spend some extra money and get the beast 7S lll?? Can't decide 7Slll, 7lll or 7c? Thanks!!:)
If you want to do mostly video work then I would recommend the a7c and some of the tamron lenses to start. if you want to do both video and photo work then get the a7III. You can see some of my favorite tamron lenses here: ruclips.net/video/eqVEIj_zPww/видео.html and you can see a comparison of the a7c and a7iii here: ruclips.net/video/HGP4Y6N4LdQ/видео.html Cheers
Fantastic video! Thank you so much for the valuable information.
Thank you very much and you're welcome!
Hi, you mention that A7S3 isn't that good for astrophotography - I'm planning to get into more of Astrophotography, I'm confused between the A7C (which is same as the A73 in many ways) and the A7S3, but the lack of ability to shoot the milky way in all its glory will be a deal breaker for me. At the same time, A7C is just 8bit which is annoying. I would love to hear your advice please, thank you.
It is actually very good for astrophotography it just isn't quite as detailed as the A7III is but it does much better in low light
@@JakeSloan Thank you so much for helping me!!
@@JakeSloan Subscribed! From this and two other of my fake accounts, thanks for being so down to earth! ^_^
Love your reviews man! Keep up the amazing work🤩
Thank you very much!
Thank you for this great Video! I had somehow the impressionen that the A7III has less noise on the higher iso?
The A7sIII def does better in low light but the noise is different so it depends a bit lol
Awesome video! Maybe didn't notice, but what lens did you shoot the video on?
This was shot on Sony 24gm tamron 17-28 and tamron 28-75
Excellent comparison really enjoyed it thanks for this🙏
Thank you
Blown away. Fantabulous review.
Thank you
What lenses did you use in the video? Thanks :) This video was super helpful!!
I shot almost everything with the Tamron 17-28 and some of it was the Sony GM 24mm 1.4 Thanks for the kind words!! Cheers
Really nice video Jake . I am looking for a camera and this video helped me.
excellent. Glad to hear it!!
Thanks Jake - very useful comparison. Im a hybrid shooter mainly for social media content. Im just trying to figure if the A7S3 is overkill for my business. I really want my next camera to have excellent AF as I have to work so fast. I considered the A7C but cant figure if the ergonomics would slow me down.
The a7c would be the one I’d recommend honestly. It’s really great for video work.
Dude thanks for putting out another amazing video. I wanted to ask what lake/ ice cave you're at...it seems like an awesome hiking/camping spot.
The lake is called Upper Reed Lake and those caves are part of Byron Glacier! Cheers
Thanks for being super informative and providing an honest opinion about which camera you feel is best for which type of shooter, it was exactly the video I was looking for thanks man! Super well done visually too!
Youre welcome!!
A wonderful and very beautiful video, I love my A7III .. Greetings from Yalta!) 🖐🤝
Thank you! Cheers from Alaska
Which camera best for faimly photography..extremely lowlight..a7sii is best in 2022. Other options now...please suggest me camra body
I would try and get the A7IV if you can
Amazing footage bro. Looks super cold though!
Thanks bro!!
This was so helpful and beautiful to watch. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Which lens did you had at the opening of your video?
Thanks! From Germany.
Thats the Tamron 17-28
@@JakeSloan Thanks Jake great content!
Great review, appreciate the side by sides. What lense are you using? I’m waiting for a restock of the A7siii since I plan on shooting 90% video with it.
Nice! I still shoot a ton on mine though I do use the a7iv now as well
@@JakeSloan that was on my list too lol. But I really want to get more into content creation (video). Are you planning on an updated review? I'd like the A7siii before my vacation next month but stock dates keeping being pushed up 😭. I'd love to explore some more sony alternatives (preferably full frame)
which drone did you use? is that the mavic 2 pro?
This was the mavic 2 pro yes
Awesome vid bro!
Thanks brother! I can't wait till you have your own. I hope we get the chance to meet up and create something awesome together some day
I tend to do more video, am thinking the Sony A7Siii may be the better for me...both look like great cameras though! Great comparison review on both cameras Jake!
Thanks Mark! I've been blown away by the A7sIII for video work it's simply fantastic.
Sony A7Siii looks like a beast. Also loving your channel! Stay safe!
Thanks much!
Great video Jake. Really informative!
Glad you liked it!
Hi, I have question...
I’m currently using a beginner apsc camera which is the Canon M50. I feel like I’m ready to upgrade. I mainly use my camera for video.
I’m considering the sony A7III / A7C
If I choose to upgrade to A7SIII will it be to advance for me? Should I go for the best camera or start with A7III / A7C first?
thanks 😄
I would go with the a7c to start out with for sure
How is the a7siii when it comes to product photography or portrait photography, like in paid jobs?
I did a whole video about the a7sIII photography here: ruclips.net/video/pCBGg-oeGJ4/видео.html but it Depends on the end use of the photos (print vs web etc) I’ve used mine for a lot of paid jobs that were mostly destined for web but I did just sell a few photos for a catalog. I would go higher megapixel (a7riii or rIV
GREAT video!! So informative and no bloating in the video.
Has that Duo mic go? I have the Rode Videomicro and I actually think it's fantastic but not when the mic is facing away from you when you're switching from vlogging yourself to something in front of you lol
I might leave the Videomicro for talking head stuff in my studio and get the Duo for vlogging
the d4 duo is excellent for vlogging etc exactly because of this! it's a great vlogging mic, I have a review filmed just need to edit and release it lol
@@JakeSloan awesome bro! Keen to watch it when it's out 😎😎
Hey man ! Loved the comparison ! I'm interested in the videos you make of your hikes, cave exploration, and so on, do you have an other channel with them ? Cheers !
Not specifically I do try and include some of the story of getting to these places in some of my videos on this channel though
@@JakeSloan Too bad, would be cool. Maybe an idea to think about, you seem to live an exciting life :)
What lens are you using here?
Tamron 17-28!
@@JakeSloan If on both cameras, very impressive focus response from both cameras= 3rd party lens!
It was a great comparision, cleared everything i was having doubt about
Awesome!!
Hey im considering the a7 siii . now im far from a professional videographer but looking for some solid advice . I record rap battles and vlog , my main things im looking for 4k of course that can also record past 30 minutes 45 - 0ne hour preferably and up to date.future proof / and it has to be less than a year old which camera should i go for??
I would highly recommend the sony a7c for you! great camera for video work but less expensive than the a7siii
Good stuff Jake, you got yourself a new subscriber! Question, what is the tripod you were using in the video?
Thank you very much!! I use the Peak Design travel tripod now. It's great light weight and handles conditions well. Cheers!!
Great video, as always. Thank you Jake
You're welcome! Cheers
I was expecting raw footages to grade to see if I want to buy the camera..the only thing I don't like about the A7 series is that the slog-2 are complicated to grade..does 10 bit on the a7siii make it better than the 8 bit color on the a7iii to grade footage?
There is a link in the description but also some slog 3 files can be found through the link in this video: ruclips.net/video/YfuBIppRVwA/видео.html in short though slog 3 is fantastic and 10 bit makes a huge difference in color grading in post
Awesome review, thank you!
Thanks a lot!
Very helpful video. Thanks Jake!
Excellent I'm glad it helped!! Cheers
You are so great at making Comparison
Thank you so much
You're welcome
I just got the A7SIII and im noticing that my old A7III has better sharpness and detail, I also noticed on your comparisons as well. Is it because the A7III has a 6K sensor
yes it is
Hey Jake! You have any tips for matching both of these cameras in a video shoot situation? Is one of the Color profiles match closer to another? You touched on but could you explain? Thank you
The best way to match colors is to shoot in a log profile and then do color grading in post to match them up, I haven't looked into what it would take to match them up as default colors out of camera yet
@@JakeSloan Thanks for the reply! I was hoping for a bit easier workflow for run and gun situations since we use multiple people and having to teach everybody how to properly expose SLog is dicey unless you know what you're doing. Thanks again!
Great video Jake.. exactly what I wanted 👌
Thank you
How good is the image stabilization from the a7siii when handheld?
It’s ok but you still need to be steady
amazing video… why did the A7iii look better to me in every video you did? is something wrong w me!??
It might just be your preference, the A7III video is sharper looking since it downsamples a 6k image vs the a7sIII's 4k image
