I think i speak for everyone when I say that we would all appreciate a shooting guide (white balance, color settings, etc) and S-log 3 color grading tutorial from you
This is probably the best footage I have ever seen come out of this camera. Would love to see a workflow breakdown or how you go about setting up a shot. Truly inspiring!
This is single handedly the best camera review I've seen for the A7s iii ! Now this is exactly how a camera review video should be, no more overly technical reviews with boring indoor camera tests. The rest of the creators should take notes !
Stunning footage and review! Only thing.. I had 2 Lexar cards go corrupt on me using the A7siii. Beware.. they're not the same company they used to be! Prograde's have been killer for me. If you're buying a $3,500 body I don't get why people complain about spending a few hundred on solid SD cards that allow you to use all the features of the camera. But everyone's different I guess
2 minutes in & you already earned a new subscriber from me bro! LOVEEEEEEEE all of the footage, honesty, and choice of words. LOVE IT! keep up the work man!
Your footage is excellent, Colours, clarity, story telling, & sound design all amazing . Your channel definitely deserves more subs. Refreshing to see your approach of showing what your footage looks like in the reviews instead of someone behind a desk promoting a new camera that Cannon or DJI or Sony gave them for free! Love it keep up the excellent work.! Would love BTS of how you shoot your stuff /Gimbal/vs handheld Lenses used etc... ( LOL without giving away all your secrets )
Got this camera right away when it was released in September 2020 and ditched my 6500. I love it. It does everything a camera needs to do. I don’t have the feeling of needing anything else. Great review by the way. Keep it up. Greetings from Germany.
@@khanstudioz9543 I have only 2 batteries. I can’t remember that I needed the second one during one shoot. Of course it always depends. If you’re a wedding videographer and shoot the entire day straight you probably need 2 or 3. Long story short I’m very happy with the battery life coming from a Blackmagic where I literally changed the battery every 20 min.
This is a great video. Its important to acknowledge that the A7s3 is not easier to use than some cameras, it's actually harder. im seling mine for the panasonic s5 because i just find it easier to use. but you also showed how good the camera can look when you know how to use it within its limits.
Not sure if you know this yet, but the a7siii can actually create proxies in camera so you don't have to let your computer sit and create them from scratch. It also gives you the option of creating 720p or 1080p proxy files. The only thing to keep in mind is the 720p proxies are 8bit color and the 1080p proxies are 10 bit. This is important because if you do color grading to the 8bit proxy files and then turn the proxies off to render, you will notice a color shift, because your color grading or luts will look different on 10 bit footage vs 8 bit footage.
This Is a clear representation of how It’s not the car it’s the driver. Amazing footage brother. Subbed! Can you make a video on how you developed your eye for composition, color and beautiful imagery? I’d love to see what a day of shooting looks like and how you get the “look “ how much contrast pivot etc. thanks!
MacBooks become obsolete so fast. I had a fully specked 2018 Mac Pro and it struggled with out proxies. I purchased a 2022 14” base model and edits every codec like butter.
Really sorry you don't have an affiliate link for this camera. It was this video that made me pull the trigger on this to add to my A7Siii. Looking forward to more great content.
i have watched around all your videos in one night you are crazy man loving your content we need behind the scenes and tutorials more plus need a break down on silience video ! you gained a subscriber today
Omg 😱 I really loved your work !!!! Can u pls tell 1)which lens you use 2) did you use any lens filter like black mist pro or any thing ? Because your footage looks so good 3) which color space u use s-log 3 or… Thank you And you are amazing
This footage has finally pushed me to switch over to Davinci... It looks so freakin good!! Instant subscribe! I have an A7siii as well and would love to see more of your color grading workflow. Keep up the good work man!
great review and awesome footage! I am eyeballing the a7s3 or the FX3 each have features I want and need but neither is a complete package for me. both would be a big investment for me as I would need all new glass too *I have used Panasonic Gh5 for last 4 years.
Such an awesome review and loved ur honest explanation and yes .. getting an expensive camera may make your images looks good but doesn’t make u a better filmmaker.
Great video! I have to ask, how did you learn to color grade your footage? I honestly feel like having a camera like the A7SIII/FX3 may just expose people's inabilities to some degree .... or maybe not. Your footage looks fantastic, especially the coloring.
That is absolutely true because like i said in this video - many people buy this camera expecting that it will make them pro filmmakers...i just kinda learned it on the go, i had the basics down for many years and now i’m just experimenting most of the time
oh man....yes. i used it for like 10 minutes shooting from a moving car in windy conditions and the lens got destroyed. I got sand underneath the glass, the focus ring, the zoom ring, it was so painful...luckily the service fucked it up even more and i got a new one for free but man...knowing this i would never buy that lens
nice informative and probably one of the very best a7siii review. btw, colors look sick man!! do you have any tips on how you have exposed the clips or maybe how you have graded them??
it's very outstanding footage shot in Dubai bro. I have been using a sony a73 for 3 years so i really wanna upgrade to this bad boy, the only matter for me is the price
Thanks man, i have a kit of 3 sigmas - 14-24, 24-70, 100-400. We’ll do a video on best lenses for sony a7sIII next week, since Gundars got himself a different kit so we will kinda compare everything. Stay tuned! ;)
@@DreamDuoFilms great stuff bro, I myself was looking to buy sigmas for the a7sIII as well! 24-70 in particular. But I'd love your take on which of the 3 is your favorite!
@@SuperFilmregisseur We'll cover everything in detail in that video so subscribe so you don't miss it. Speaking of the 24-70, there is one big problem with it that no one talks about, we'll cover that in our video as well so stay tuned.
what a video man~ nice footage! yeah the APSC series is definitely not used by many to it's full potential. I also started with the a6500 and upgraded to a6600 for the flip screen and longer battery and it's a beast in a small package. was thinking of a new full frame coming up, A7S3 or wait for the A74 next year. the photos on the A7S3 look good enough for the casual photographer for sure. great points and review thanks 👍
If you have some spare cash you don't care about then sure go for the fx3, it has a nicer feel in the hand and just feels more sturdy, i don't care about the xlr inputs honestly so i didn't want to pay more for essentially the same camera + i like to have a viewfinder
Hey man, great video. Regarding that Active Stab, you are the first one who said it is trash. Every other video I saw of it and sample footage, seems to be so good. Not perfect of course but definitely an improvement over using regular IBIS. Can you tell me more about the problems you had with it? I want to know genuienly.
Yes you are right about the active steady shot. It might be because my focal length was so wide that the distortion confused the stabilization? But i'm not sure yet, need to do more tests, thanks for pointing that out
Hey, which kind of ND Filter do you use for that Camera? Im Looking for the best one in Terms of Color Accuracy and Sharpness. Thanks a lot and great job you did with that review!
Documentaries are all about stories so any focal length you're comfortable with will work for you, but if that was a question on what are our favorite lenses for this camera, we're doing a video next week on that ;)
Mark Bone who shoots lots of docs recommends only 2 lenses so that you don't spend too much time switching stuff. He uses a 24 and 50. I might pick something like a 24-70 or 24-105 (the range and OIS will help if you move around a lot) + 50mm.

One of the best a7siii review based on real life experiences
Footages FTW cinematic AF! I second another commenter, these are the best A73 footages on YT!
Finally a reviewer with tons of great footage, thank you!
This is a great video. Its important to acknowledge that the A7s3 is not easier to use than some cameras, it's actually harder. im seling mine for the panasonic s5 because i just find it easier to use. but you also showed how good the camera can look when you know how to use it within its limits.
Hey man are you James Bond or something? Literally 11/10 locations, shooting, clothing, girls, the whole shebang. It's awe inspiring.

The camera retails on Amazon today for almost $3,500.00. With various full frame lenses you are looking at around $5-6500 dollars.
Cheap
It's not really meant to be a consumer camera so the price is really good.

Nice review! Would you say a7siii or a6400 is better for photos?
i think i would still prefer the a7sIII for the better color science, low lights and ability to shoot uncompressed RAW photos
Fantastic video. How do you go about the tought process of capturing the footage you do and how you put it together.
I am feeling bad why i didnt discover your channel earlier..
Qualiry content man..Subbed
Bro u make dubai look so fckin good. Salute to you man, keep up the great work

How do you expose slog3? are you always +2 stops over? This is the best footage I've seen from this camera.
mostly at +1.3 and +1.7, but some times +2, it really depends on the situation and what do i prioritize
I see you’re using the Sigma 24-70. Being in a desert environment, did you have any dust-in-the-lens issues?

May I ask what lens you use? Looks amazing!
Sigma 24-70 (sold it though), sigma 14-24 and sigma 100-400
Awesome video! So you use the standard steadyshot instead of active steadyshot because of the warping?
I do yes, but i was told that the warping could be because of the distortion from wider lenses like the 14-24 i have so i just need to test it more
Beautiful footage... and those colors. As owner of a7iii is painful 😂
Color looks great here. Based on your Before shots, it looks like you're not filming in SLog3 though?
It is all slog3 bro, i think only the golf scenes and the lady in the water where shot using cinetone
