I was just going to say the same thing... Mike, Liam, and Hayden all post videos of the same shoot all the time! THEY should be the ones flipping the coin on who gets to use the footage.
This is actually a super proper review, better than most other reviews actually. Putting the cameras through their paces..with classic North Borders humour! Keep 'em coming mate!
Coenie Ackermann hahah cheers bro I cannot be fucked sitting in my room going through the menu settings hahaha I hate watching that shit I want to see the cameras in action which is why I made the review like this 😁 appreciate your support man much more to come ❤️
@Splashymcsplashface Thank you for your reply and recommendations - i use currently a 40d, so there's plenty of room for an update... i guess, i'll wait and see what the eos r ii will look like... :))

wow! this is by far one the best reviews of these camera's. It's on of the best techniques for reviews, not talking all small details of the camera which everybody easily can look up, but instead, you guys make a REAL comparison (daily life comparis), which is really useful! Thanks a lot
Finally a real world fast comparison! Thanks for not repeating the specs like everyone else does! I have the A7RM3 and after your video I see no need to upgrade!
That widescreen is consistent boi! Glad you guys switched to this aspect ratio I'm always watching in fullscreen like everytime. always learning something new every after freaking video.
Daryll Esconde it's the first thing I change when I import my footage now don't think I'll ever forget to do it haha it looks sooo much more professional😁 and appreciate it bro glad I could teach you something!
Thanks for your honesty. I just bought the Sony A7Rlll and its the best camera vs the A74lV even after trying both cameras. This video made me feel better even after I purchasing the Camera three weeks ago. Thanks bro.
I’ve recently got a Sony a7iii and I’m absolutely in love! I’m still new to the Sony ecosystem and I’m still learning how to use my camera to its fullest potential. I can’t imagine how well the mark 4 does with it’s real time auto focus in video and photo and maybe even the higher megapixel count.
Great video man! About to check out your other content, but love how you just cut to the chase. Also you and your boys seem like chill people - happy shooting, and thanks for the review
Good video! I'm an A7R2 user and previously did landscapes mostly. I want to upgrade as I started getting into shooting portraits, wildlife and perched birds. In Jan 2022, which one would you get? Also, would you rather get something else now like the new A7IV. I have a chance to get an A7R3a for $2000 or a A7RIVa for $2600. Both are new. Thanks.
I’m new to the channel mate. Spot on review! I’ve had my A7r4 for about 3 weeks now. Upgraded from the A7R2 & I’ve only noticed a slight increase in definition. The biggest improvement for me over the r2 is the autofocus for action shots. Heaps better! 😀👍
Good honest review. Well done, enjoyed watching it! I especially liked the fact that you gave your honest opinion at the end too instead of beating around the bush.
I was actually kinda dissapointed. thought the difference would be a bit more obvious. The A7R III was a fantastic release, hard to beat it besides that improved A9-esque autofocus on the A7R IV. Noice vid Mike!
I became a new subscriber after watching this video because I like your totally user experience & honest approach. I will be changing from MFT to either Fugi or Sony and have 2 questions regarding the Sony a7iii & a7Riii (I am NOT a professional, just shoot travel, street & family, 90% stills): 1) When shooting in Crop mode on the a7iii do A4 prints look good enough, or have they lost too much detail or look grainy? 2) Is there a noticeable slowdown in processing a7Riii files vs. a7iii (I have a 2019 MacBook Pro with i7 processor & 16Gb of ram). Thanks in advance from 🇨🇦.
Yeah! Most definitely you do inspire me personally! And about the camera - simply everyone have to learn to shoot with what they have, and eventually when starts to gain some money out of photography - then have to cash for the big toys. At least that's what I think. Greetings from Bulgaria! 😊♥️
*camera review channels* Long time wasting nights doing research and memorizing camera specs Mike: Camera take picture I just messing around, really helpful video
Quality video bruv and good to see real world side by side examples. What’s your thoughts on the crop factor when u go to super 35 mode as you get extra reach from your lenses without losing so much quality as per previous models? That for me makes it way more versatile compared to the rest and leaves me thinking wether to buy. But tbh still on the fence as the a7riii you can pick up much much cheaper now for still phenomenal performance...
On this Sony A7r III 3 an important thing is missing which is the color inversion or negative. Very useful for reproducing color or black and white negatives. Many photographers have these negatives in stock and could digitize them. I hope this message reaches Mr. Sony's ears.
Hi brother.. Am a candid photographer i using candid photography and videography so which is the best camera Sony a7r III are a7r IV are a7s III ? Plz tell me a suggestion brother....
I hold myself buying 24 70 G master many times, because I think, how will the old tech lens match todays alpha bodies? Plus it has no image stabelization. I will be using it for a6500 for now, but I have the plan to collect the Master lenses for future purpose.
Can you do a video talking about your settings on your camera for photo? And what picture profile are you using, and when? thanks! love the content! Cheers, from Portugal!
North Borders so you like& comment on my RUclips comment but I can’t get a like on Insta. I’m unsubbing right tf now...lol I didn’t realize I put 5 in Roman numerals, I feel stupid. The mark lV is insane.
What do you think of the reliability of your observations if you consider that you are using a computer monitor (whatever yours is) to make the comparison? Do you think that comparing prints would be a markedly different comparison?
Yo, thanks for the insight Mike! As everyone says, it's more about the lens not the body, but even more important than that is your skill and willingness to keep building upon yourself. Cheers!
Fantastic review Mike (and honest). It covered all of the things that I wanted to know and none of the irrelevant stuff that is of absolutely no importance to me. If I'm considering a purchase, I want to know how it performs in real time out in the physical world in all conditions. It looks like you may have found your true calling as a reviewer who can actually shoot a good photo...as opposed to a reviewer who has an encyclopedic knowledge of specifications but who rarely gets out from behind his/her desk and spends the majority of their time taking photos of dandelions in macro mode and cute kittens playing with balls of string.
With the Mark 4 I can go from 16mm to 52mm with a constant f2.8 with just one lens, all while getting at least 26 mega pixel per shot and not having to switch lens, using the crop mode. This makes it worth for me.
We have compared the Sony a7R IV and a7R III and found some advanced features that made the Sony a7R IV the best camera here. Which Features Made Sony A7R IV Best? (1) Sony a7R IV has 61.0 Megapixels Exmor R CMOS sensor, whereas Sony a7RIII has only 42.4 megapixels. So, with a bigger sensor, the a7R IV will provide you high-resolution, proper detailed images and videos. (2) This camera has 567 focus points, and a7III has 399 focus points. So, with a7R IV, you can focus accurately on any particular object better than another one. (3) This camera has a UXGA OLED viewfinder with 5.76 million dots, and a7R III has a Quad-VGA OLED viewfinder with 3.86 million dots. So, with an upgraded viewfinder in a7R IV, you can perfectly track and capture images. (4) Sony a7R IV has better battery power optimization than a7R III as you can capture 670 frames with this camera, whereas with Sony a7R III, you can capture only 650 frames. So, you can see that Sony a7R IV has better effective pixels, focus points, robust battery optimization, and upgraded viewfinder, which are not available in Sony a7R III. Therefore, after considering these features, we recommend you get the Sony a7R IV. Read more at {[Sony a7RIII vs a7RIV Difference][cameraslab.com/sony-a7riii-vs-a7riv/]}
the skin tones looked better on the r4 when you were vlogging both at the same time. is the r3 firmware current? Or is the white balance just more accurate, or pleasing at least, on the r4? if its just a WB issue that is easily remedied.
That's the kind of review that we want!!! Excellent!!! I don't like when someone just reads the specs, it's boring. I want to see these beasts in action! I think that the 4th gives warmer images than the 3rd, and I like it. P.S. When using my nikon d90 I'm scared going above 400 iso 🤣 forgot! Using Liam as a... tripod? Brilliant!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I would love to know your thoughts. If someone is on a budget and wants to get into the Sony cameras would the original Sony A7 for a full frame camera be fine for photography and that way you could build up your lens?
I bought one image quality was fine, focus in low light and sports made it hard but for landscapes or manual focus was fine. Sold it eventually after it became backup to my a7iii, as with anything you get what you pay for :)
You could do pretty well with one for sure but I’d probably recommend looking around for an a7ii as they’re just so much better in every way if you’ve got a few extra hundred dollars. You can find really good deals on them second hand nowadays
Alex Gerontzos hey bro using your phone it's usually enough to Start you out with photography, if you want to take Photography a bit more seriously but not sure if you want to go all out. I would recommend a Sony A6400 with a sigma 18-35 or Sigma 17-50 or something, or if you're looking to upgrade straight to full frame and get a camera that will see you through a long lasting career in photography/filmaking I would invest in a Sony A73 with a 24-70 2.8 Sony/Tamron or Sigma 😁🙏
Are you kidding me yes. It is fine it is a standard 24.3mp camera and with the right lens for the job it is going to kick ass dont just upgrade to the latest because a few people are doing so.
When Mike and Liam upload at the same time and I have to flip a coin to choose which to watch first
Haha
Always mike 🔥
I was just going to say the same thing... Mike, Liam, and Hayden all post videos of the same shoot all the time! THEY should be the ones flipping the coin on who gets to use the footage.
@@faqjzed they all record their own footage. Sometimes they're recording each other at the same time but it's all their own content
I flipped my coin at the same time and it landed balanced showing both sides. Guess I have to watch them both at the same time.

What makes you so unique is how raw you are. How real you are with your audience and I among many others love it!
I just bought the Sony a7iii this weekend. It’s incredible coming from a Canon crop sensor
I'm wondering, whether to wait for the upcoming eos r ii or to walk your way and switch to sony 7iii
Franz Münchinger just ask yourself what do I need and is my current system holding me back or that I need at this stage.
@Splashymcsplashface Thank you for your reply and recommendations - i use currently a 40d, so there's plenty of room for an update... i guess, i'll wait and see what the eos r ii will look like... :))
Good on you. I'm deciding to purchase the A7RIII or the A7RIV a good landscape camera.
I want too
Mike: "When will you ever shoot at 50,000 ISO?"
A7S: "You underestimate my power."
well the A7S is no better than the A7R2 if you downsize the R2 to 12MP and compare them up to ISO 51200. Too much hype on the A7S

Great video man! About to check out your other content, but love how you just cut to the chase. Also you and your boys seem like chill people - happy shooting, and thanks for the review
I gave this vid a like just for the honesty and transparency that mike had which is greatly appreciated
My heart jumped a beat when your camera fall over at 3:12
Great video man, even a couple years later makes me happy with my decision to get the a7Riii. Big difference to my 2008 a300...
Great video man! Didn't feel like I'm watching a review and i loved your straight forward thoughts on it!🔥
Surprisingly a good review, BS free and didn't talk about the stuff no one is that interested in, just the significant parts.
I really liked the skin tones on the 4. Great video. Mike... always funny and technically brilliant.

Love your perspective on gear reviews! Id love to see you do this with some lenses!
Very practical comparison, who has the money should get the RIV, otherwise the RIII with the 24-70; 2.8 GM is a great camera setup.
Just subbed...realistic review! Nice job!
Nice video dude !! What Monitor are you using to edit your photos/videos ?
Cristian C. Hey bro its a 4k BENQ 25" or something hooked up to my Mac Pro 😁🙏
@@NorthBorders thanks for the response man !!!
Good review, btw the A7RIII doesn't force you to crop. You can shoot any fps at any quality with no crop if you wanted to.
hi this 2021, i'm watching it & i'm confused which one should I buy?
dude I love your shirt the one you wore at the end with the Japanese kanji
Great video I really appreciate the no bullshit take and actually making a recommendation at the end. Keep up the good work.
Easy to understand great work!
As a beginner what camera would you prefer i go for
I had went with the a7ii and love it

Do they keep upgrading the internal hardware and software according to new tech of today?
Best review ever. Thank you,
“Hope you’re having a shit one” and that was the moment you earned my sub

Hey Mike, what camera would you recommend for shooting motocross?? Photos btw
the skin tones looked better on the r4 when you were vlogging both at the same time. is the r3 firmware current? Or is the white balance just more accurate, or pleasing at least, on the r4? if its just a WB issue that is easily remedied.
