  • Today I’m going to tell you about the Sony A7iii and help you decision whether it’s a good value. I think it’s one of the best Sony cameras on the market as far as features. I will discuss the A7iii sensor, processor, and autofocus for both photography and video. I’ll show you #sonya7iii photo samples in bright and low light.
    I will also include A7III 4K footage and several example of slow motion shot at 120 fps.
    I’ll talk about the Sony IBIS (in body image stabilization) and the ergonomics of the #sony #a7iii as well as the battery life, screen, viewfinder and some things that frustrated me about this camera.

    Note: the current firmware corrects the SD card issue, added interval shooting and added some other amazing features - UPDATE video coming!!!!
    What's up everyone?! I hope this review of the Sony A7iii was helpful. Did you like it? I wasn’t sure I was going to like this camera but wow! The image quality is outstanding and video features are fantastic. I love the slow motion but I wish there was an articulating screen, timelapse feature and a better app. Let me know what you think!!
    Was there too much detail? Not enough? What did you like, and also, what did you not like? What would you like to see more of? Would love to know what you think, good or bad. I am grateful in advance 🙏

      I always love your tutorials. I am a Canon user....but going to switch to Sony cause I may not live long enough to see Canon catch up to Sony. No I am not dying just too old to fart around with waiting. I love the Sony A7RIII but I am not rich....or want to carry around their expensive glass. Like I said I am old. So yeah my next camera? The Sony RX10 IV. Yes a bridge camera. Saw your review and going to get one. I do like this review. I am liking Sony. I have a Canon M50. They just came out with an SL3. The same camera as a DSLR. Why Canon? I know they want to get to that beginner....how about the pro? Or enthusiast. Enough, have a great day everyone.

    The A7Rmkiii is on sale for around $700 more than the A7mkiii. In my opinion the EVF in the A7R is worth the money. I don't need the megapixels but that EVF is just plain incredible. So is the rear display. Now, I am a photo shooter 98% of the time so that might sway me. The ergonomics are crap, but the sensor, the processing, the EVF and rear display make up for it. Great Review! Regards from the desert.

    • @TechGearTalk
      @TechGearTalk  5 лет назад +1

      Thanks Buster. I would have to agree with that. When you're getting to this level of camera, and definitely if you're using it professionally, the $700 is not going to be significant over the life of the body. A better EVF is always appreciated.
      The sensor and processing on the new Sony lineup is outstanding. Not many people realize just how lucky we are.

I mean I almost bought the Fuji Xt3 but seeing alot of videos in regards to both the Xt3 and a7iii, it seems the xt3 lacks in low light, even in portrait. And yes Sony did skipped out on the charger. As far as the SD cards, I think the uhs2 is not quite there yet as far as technology. Most gadgets are optimize to use the uhsi for now, so the uhs1 v30 is more than enough. Thanks for the video and helping me opting with the Sony a7iii.

    Trying to decide between the Sony A7iii and the Canon EOS R. I will be shooting stills 99% of the time (mostly landscapes, portraits, street photography, etc.) so recording video is of very little concern. Great autofocus, dynamic range, and low light shooting all appeal to me. I have an old Canon T3 DSLR but I'm not invested in Canon glass. I want to make the jump to a full frame mirrorless camera but I keep going back and forth between these two. Any advice or suggestions? I have watched your videos on both but am still torn! Thanks!

    • @TechGearTalk
      @TechGearTalk  5 лет назад +1

      Hi Jared. Good news - you can't go wrong. Bad news - that doesn't help you choose.
      Out of the camera, I like the color on the Canon better. I've been shooting Canon for years, so maybe that's why. The autofocus (for photos) on the A7iii is absurdly good - and so is the one on the R. The A7iii might have better low-light performance but... (ruclips.net/video/q2hs8BOTXb4/видео.html so take that for what you will).
      I now use the a7iii as my main camera with mostly Canon lenses. Might you, I bought it because I wanted it for video (specifically 120fps).
      Let me know if this helps at all.

    • @jaredjohnson7678
      @jaredjohnson7678 5 лет назад

      Tech Gear Talk That does help.. thank you! Very interesting video about low light too!
      I’m leaning more towards the Sony because it seems like a hard camera to beat with the better low light performance, IBIS, better battery life, two card slots, and Sony’s great EyeAF.
      Going from the R to the A7iii, do you miss the ergonomics or the higher resolution of the EVF on the EOS R?
      Thanks for your input!!

      Ergonomics - no doubt. Canon is just better for me. It's simpler (even with the silly touch bar which I disabled). It's just more intuitive.
      With Sony, I'm still finding myself looking for stuff in the menu. (but mind you, I'm switching from photo to video to slow mo to 4k, to 1080 blah blah.
      EVF - nothing I'd notice unless you put them side by side and looked back and forth.

  • @floatingrabbit3556
    @floatingrabbit3556 5 лет назад +2

    Honestly so far, Sony's entry level camera's like the A6300 are packing more features than some of Canon's renowned workhorses like the 5dmkiii. Sony has been in the film industry very long along side Panasonic so it makes sense that they'd have a lot more packed into their video features in their bodies than most cameras. Sadly, fanboys think otherwise. I primarily shot Canon until i saw the light. In the end they are just tools but you gotta have the right one and for me it was what Sony has been cranking out the past three years.

    • @TechGearTalk

    Thanks for this review. I find myself in analysis paralysis trying to decide which camera I want to upgrade to. I have an older Canon 5D Mark II and several high quality Canon lenses. The A7iii or EOS R. Moving to Sony is huge commitment, but Canon continues to disappoint with crippled cameras. I think once Sony has the fully articulating screen, Canon is going to have to rethink their strategy (if they haven't already). Thanks again. Great video!

    • @bobhanuman65
      @bobhanuman65 5 лет назад

      You need to decide what is most important to you Still, Video and how much of each you do. The EOS R has dropped in price and if you have Canon glass the adapter works perfectly. The buttons and dials are not convenient but again every camera is going to have warts. You can also get an a7rii used at this point for a great deal. I like the z6 as a smaller camera and I just got the Panasonic S1 which I adore. With Sony another decision is what is the quality of lenses you need. To get comparable to Cannon lenses you will have to spend a lot more. Especially considering you can get great deals on used canon glass. The other consideration is if you get 2.8 zooms the sony body is a bit small in comparison. I would seriously consider the S1 as it will be a smoother transition from DSLR with buttons and dials. You may be frustrated otherwise.

    Hi, thanks a lot for your reviews, I’ve watched quite a few for my research for my new camera but I can’t make up my mind between the a7iii, a6400 or a fuiji xt3, 4 or 30, also looked into the canon r or rp. This would be my first interchangeable lens camera. What would you say it the best for photography? I don’t do much video. I do mostly landscape and travel photography but also a bit everyday, sport as well. I’m debating between getting a super quality camera vs more lightweighted one for travel. Thanks a lot!

      I tried contacting you through the ‘reply’ method through my gmail account (no-go). Well to answer your question the last camera I ordered for the folks I use to work for, (DoD),was a Betacam SP with some killer Fujinon glass. I also worked as a Dir for Distance Learning, at a small college in the PNW when the DSLR thang was making it appearance and made a few purchases through that venue, yet since I’ve retired, all my personal (media)money has been in buying DAW related gear. So I’ve been focusing on music, and now I want to make a music vid. That’s the story. Still don’t know yet, as to a cam purchase. The Sony looks very attractive. Wish these manufactures would put XLR inputs on these cams, but that would re-segment that class of equipment and the price-point would be cost prohibitive for folks like us. Thanks again do your fine work.

      Glad I could help. I use the Moza Air 2 and the Ronin S as gimbals. I use the Sandisk Extreme Pro 95 MB/s 128GB.
      Let me know if you have any questions.

    Thanks for all your content! :) Could you perhaps do a video on using the a7iii for short films and/or commercials? I am worried about the bitrate, but I don't know if I'm being a bit silly.

    • @TechGearTalk

      Let me see what I can do. There are PLENTY of people who use the a7iii professionally - even lesser cameras. It's all about how you use it.

    Great video 👌 Would you buy it with the kit lens or body only?
