This is a hands-on preview of the brand new Sony a9 III. A camera that does things in a full frame mirrorless camera we've never seen. We're talking a 24.6 megapixel global shutter. Global means, when you take the photo, every pixel fires at the same time. That means, no more banding, no more bent bats, warped balls or jello in your videos. On top of that, they have Pre shooting and 120 FPS RAW SHOOTING with full time af and metering. INSANE is an understatement. This is just a first look, we will have way more information as we get to use the camera more.

Thank you for watching, this is a true first look hands-on but we will bring you more when we go full hands on.
Well Sony did make the first full frame mirror less ever.. they are pioneers always
i am a canon fan boy, this just shook my faith. canon need to respond with a bang
Breaking news Nikon adds Global shutter, and 1/90000sec to 5.0 update.
@@carenzaguido xD in every Canon and Nikon shooters dreams baby....
Does global shutter mean we have less reliance on mechanical shutter and can completely rely on electronic shutter? Shutter failure anxiety would be gone completely
Sony is always innovating and “raising the bar” which is great news for the industry. I’m really amped for the global shutter. It’s way out of my price range, but still excited to see what it can do. I’ll be relying on Jared to show us as always 📸
Funny though. Jared is exhibit A thaf tech doesn't make you a good photographer. He would make a better investment if he put his money into an art and design course.
sony canon and panasonic is all cowards they dont have guts to make camera like nikon p1000
@@prism8289 well his job on this channel isn't to be a good photographer but rather to show us how products performances, his videos are not meant to be artistic just clean and educational which they are. If he had to colorgrade and add an artistic style to all of his videos the upload frequency would surely be longer and the delay longer, this video per example would've most likely come out a few days later.
@@marcoams6239 it's called credibility. No doubt he has a huge following, though.
He would still do good taking an art class because his sports photography is high school yearbook level at best, and you hardly need a Sony A9 to do that.
Dude, the solving of the rolling shutter is insane!
I shoot live theatre, often under LED light, and global shutter has always been the holy grail, enabling silent shooting with no banding from LED flicker. This is truly revolutionary.
THIS! My thoughts exactly, it's a bit pricy, but honestly I don't mind saving up for this camera. It would make concert photos soooo much easier for me. used A1's were going for around $4500 and I was planning on waiting for this release before I bought one, and im glad I did.
Exactly! It will only be a few years before this trickles down to prosumer and consumer devices. GG Sony,
This is ABSOLUTELY game changing! This would have been so useful when I shot sports and theatre years ago! You are right, this is the “holy grail”
The issue at the moment with this camera for theatre production photography is the reduced dynamic range and higher noise levels than the previous two models. The real torture test will be photographing a musical, a play in a large theatre and smaller plays in fringe theatres under various brightnesses of lightings using all different brands of LED theatre lights. Photographing concerts is a simpler test for the camera.
Love Sony pushing the envelope as always with the latest tech. For those bummed about the 24mp, it's a sports camera 24 is preferred with the amount of data you are moving. I'm sure the new A1 will have this tech with higher mp as it is meant to be the flagship that has everything.
24MP has been good enough since the Canon 80D days and probably even before that. But of course there might be some who need more. For me, 24/26 are totally ok. Exciting to see what the next A1 will do.
The only time in my style of work that I found extra MP useful was at an indoor event in a pub on a loaner XH2. I didn't have the luxury of time to keep switching to my 75mm and so in some cases the 40MP came in handy in post. I must also say that I was really struggling with the horrible lighting there and Lightroom's AI handled the high ISO images really well.
Having said that, for wildlife and birding, a capable high MP camera is of course amazing to have.
Y'know, I was disappointed when the R6 was only 20 MP but since I've had the opportunity to use it I'm realizing just how much you can really do with it. Plus, that sensor is a BEAST! And I'm betting that the Sony sensor is just as good. I've printed 24x36 with 20 MP and it looked great! I've seen huge prints of 24 MP photos that looked amazing! So 24 MP is more than we think. Of course, I still use my R5 when I really mean business...
24mp is good enough. But it's not the pnicacle.
Yeah, that is going to push the price of the A1 up over $8000.00 at least. That doesn't include if a new faster processor needs to be developed or if they have to upgrade from CFExpress A memory cards to CFExpress B cards.
24 mp isn't enough for wildlife, in my opinion. Even with a 200-600mm lens, I'm almost always cropping everything heavily. I'm looking to step up to an R5 or CR.
I’m a huge canon fan but wow Sony really just set the standards. Really wondering what canon is going to do with their R5 Mark II and R1. If they really do come out with END’s and a new sensor (possibly stacked or BSI) I’m sure they can stay up there with Sony! So excited to see what’s to come.
Mmm yeah Sony has been setting the standards ever since they came with the a7 series, though they've been a bit quiet for a while. Glad to see them innovative once again.
Only CFexpress card type A? Stay with Canon and save your money.
Lulz, Sony announces a camera with crazy never seen before specs and unmatched speed and Canon fanboy be like: "ho, card are type A, canon si better 😂".
@@jonnyelpoiss7 yeah idk what that card type comment had to do with the technological advances of the camera
Regardless of the type of cards it uses you should never allow that to limit you from upgrading equipment
It’s like saying I use DSLR’s with UHSII cards so I’ll never upgrade to anything with CF Express lol
@@jonnyelpoiss7 so for whom is this 6k global shutter camera for? 1% of photographers . At least canon users can afford R5 and will not miss 2% use of global shutter.
The camera we all wanted for years! Finally global shutter on a FF body!
Sony always leading the camera industry innovation at least the last 10 years. 💪🏻📸
Right..mirrorless cameras..Canon and Nikon have been playing catch with their mirrorless cameras for sure..Sony was what? two or three generations in at the time Canon and Nikon released their first mirrorless camera in 2018?..lol in my opinion though Canon is the closest and best "competition" to Sony..Nikon is even trying to catch up to Canon..haha
You forgot Nikon made the first camera (Z9) with no shutter…that a leap forward. So each brand forces other brands to catch up….not just Sony or one brand. We are going to see how Nikon and Canon answer this.
@@highdynamicphotographyfilm2235 New Nikons cameras have sensors made by Sony… so are the same , Nikons equal Sony Cameras with Nikon Glass . Nikons and Sony are like brothers.
@@ldmndz4652 with the Z9 4.1, both the Sony and Canon is now trying to catch up which one is the 2nd
@@ldmndz4652what? Canon and Sony still use shutters? Well Nikon use the shutter to protect the sensor from dust. Nikon has no need for a shutter global or otherwise. So the way I see it Sony is almost half way caught up to Nikon’s Z8/9 45 MPx shutterless cameras. What was the price of the Sony Canon and Nikon cameras?
As someone who is always critical of everything, i am very excited about this camera. The future of photography looks bright.
I'm a Canon user myself, but love seeing all this innovation, as I'm sure competition benefits all of us! Only thing I wish all the manufacturers would add, is some sort of security feature like cellphones have, to help deter theft.
What kind of features are thinking of?
@@collinsbuko He already said, like cellphones have
@@4Kandlez like which ones?? He said 'security feature'(one). Which one, for example? If it's a GPS tracker, that could be solved with buying a tag and placing it somewhere hidden. So that would be a good solution. Other than that, I don't know what else he'd be referring to, hencethe reason I asked him to share an example.
I was thinking maybe password/pin protection and or a finger print reader, maybe work like a phone or laptop, you can set the screen timeout, or choose to lock it as you please. Tracking would be nice on the higher end models, for a 5-6k device, you shouldn't have to buy your own air tag, that kind of stuff should be built in, if phones can have it at a 500-1500 price point, there's no reason high end camera's can't have it. I doubt it would happen, but I almost feel these companies should collab with iphone/samsung/google...etc to add in their software tech to the camera's hardware.@@collinsbuko
@@collinsbukophones have password protection. Having WiFi or even cellular service (mobile data connectivity) would be awesome to add to recoverability, but most likely will not happen.
This is pretty amazing. Can't wait for entry level to catch up to it in 20 years.
Was thinking the same thing. How long until something like this or even the A1 comes down to the $2k level?
Idk, I’d give it 2 years in a plastic body with 1 card slow and a regular flippy screen. Kinda the same thing they did to the a7siii
😂😂😂
@@JimmySaul888 5-7 years I suspect. At least for anything decent. Maybe in 3 years some cheapy global shutter camera will be released but I suspect it would be crippled. I think for something like the R6ii with global shutter it will be 5 years. Canon and Nikon may not even have a SINGLE flagship with this for another 2 years (1 year if they are lucky). No way an afforable one will be selling in 2 years.
That tech will be on your phone in 20yrs.
In the Sony family Is this camera good to film short films & music videos?
I love to see Jared & Chris in one frame 🫶
Can you confirm if it shoots 4k60 in Super35 mode as well? And if it has active steady shot in 4k120?
Thanks for the preview and cheers to Chris (was Jordan also there? :D ) Great to see Sony pushing the technology forward, finally! I think Canon could update R3 with pre-shooting in raw and a few other features the R6 MK2 brought in, via firmware update. It's already quite a nice piece of gear anyway (damn that SD card slot though slowing things down!). But overall it's not that far off, really. The R5 MK2 and R1 though, the expectations are high. Interesting time and can't wait to see what Canon will come up with. Nikon though, I think they have already proven they are right up there with the top stuff. What we are missing is a proper refresh to Z6 and Z7.
Impressive indeed!!
Correct video will it overheat, how does the color look compare to the older sensors, DR?
Excited to see your real life review on this too but very tempted to sell my a9ii and a7r3 immediately… keep my A1 and get the a9iii as my kit cameras - exciting!
I will be interested to see what dynamic range they get out of it as global shutter on cmos takes a hit on DR.
Here's at least part of the story. The base ISO of 250 sets some of the DR question, because of course, every camera increases DR as the ISO increases.
I can tell you why there's a base ISO of 250. Every 24 FF sensor will have basically the same size photodiodes on the sensor, producing essentially the same output. The photodiode output is continuous ... you need storage, too, because an exposure integrates light over time. So there's also a thing called a charge well -- in electronics, we call that a capacitor. It's a charge storage element. Every sensor has charge wells for each pixel on the sensor.
When you shoot a photo at base ISO (no amplification), your base is basically determined by comparing what the camera does to chemical photography (there are detailed ISO standards nearly every company uses). So you have an ISO100 base if you can take essentially the same photo at ISO100. You'll also notice that as sensors get smaller, base ISO tends to increase. My Micro Four Thirds cameras have a 200 base ISO. Why would side matter? The size of the photodiode isn't the issue, it's the size of the charge well. Smaller photodiodes mandate smaller charge wells, everything being equal. In the same light, a smaller charge well will "overflow" sooner than a larger one. In shot, an ISO 100 sensor can store twice the charge per charge well, peak, as an ISO 200 base sensor.
So this chip pretty clearly has smaller charge wells than your typical 24 megapixel FF sensor. Why? Well, I think part of it is the optimization for speed -- which is kind of the point of a global electronic sensor camera, eh? The camera exposes the sensor, charges up the charge wells, converts charge to voltage, reads those voltages out to an array of analog-to-digital converters, sends that data over a high speed bus to your camera's image signal processor and, voila, a photo! There's an inherent time constant with any charging or discharging of a capacitor in a circuit. To increase the base ISO, Sony would probably have to lower the top shutter speed and maybe (depending on any other bottlenecks) the sensor readout speed.
Sony's selling a whole line of cameras. In fact, with the A7 series, they were really the first company to go after the idea of "you need more than one version of the same camera" at least to professionals. If your main need is resolution, you have an A7R. If your main need is DR, you have an A7S ... assuming, of course, you're a Sony shooter. They were pushing the idea that one size does not fit all in capabilities, rather than the high/low-end scale used by most companies. This is one more option for those who want this, knowing that any body choice represents some kind of tradeoff over other options.
Oh man, the pre-capture, 120fps AND articulated screen are making me really want to pony up for this one.
Nikon shooter here, and all i can say is what the heck sony! Camera looks fantastic. Thank you for setting the standard.
Yes, great. Nice to see some new technology, nice to see some boundaries to be pushed. Great for all the market, great for buyers. Lets see, what will be the response from Canon, Nikon and others.
Great video, thanks! Can you ONLY save one (1) image of the pre-burst?
Unit stills photographers I know are super excited, especially with so many projects shooting in volumes. I’m super excited to see what trickles down to other camera in the lineup or when it drops into the used market. I can’t afford it right now but I’m definitely eyeing this up as a upgrade in a few years…where ever this leads to in future iterations.
This is a revolutionary concept but do I need it? For events, portraits and landscapes, am I so much behind with my Z8 and Z9???
I’m a Canon guy but DAMN I want this camera!
Same
Can't wait to see how Canon and Nikon respond to this!!
Canon shooter too, but weirdly I don't want this because of the insane fps (although that's super cool). I want it for the flash sync at any speed! That's insane!!
@@waynedennyphoto both are great reasons to have this
Yeah but at 6 Grand and then another grand for CFexpress type A cards and another 5 Grand for lenses to handle that speed for focusing. Canon and Nikon have nothing to worry about.
Would you buy this over the canon R3?
If the 120fps shooting is usable for things other than just standard burst it's going to be a game changer for focus stacking and bracketing.
You'd be able to focus stack a group shot at f/1.4 or f/1.2 in a fraction of a second or do essentially instant 3 shot bracketing of a still or slow moving subject.
Yeah but save your money because it’s 6 grand and it only takes CFexpress cards type A ouch
@@Davitor1 Angelbird 1TB CFe-A cards are $500 each and I don't think $6000 is unreasonable for a camera with it's capabilities that is also a first of it's kind.
@@Davitor1are you going to now harp on by repeating the same one thing over & over. Tell us you're a Canon fanboy without telling us you're a Canon fanboy
@@alwynsmit3546 I'm a Canon fan boy, and not sure if you are a sony fanboy or canon hateboy. But before spending 6k on body and 1k on two cards, check the shortcoming of a global shutter camera. To start with global shutter camera are only front lighting and don't support BSI, have lower frame rate, have bad low light performance etc etc.
I don't think that it will. It's a machine for the new generation, basically, as Jared says people can't peek the decisive moment, you just point the camera to the action and shoot late, of course, at 120fps. One of the images is bound to be good, and most of the time great. The technology is amazing, and I don't live from photography so for me is all great.
This is off the charts! As this comes down, I would go back to using more flash as I did waaay back in my leaf shutter days. Daylight flash balance? Interior flash balancing? OMG, this completely reinvigorates serious photography. EVERY fashion studio will have several. Every sport photographer *should* have it. Beyond game changing. And amazing they kept it so quiet. Such a creative tool. Very tempting…
Interesting product! I’m curious to see you using this during those baseball games you’ve been shooting lately and how this helps or hurts those images. Sports photography with that pre shooting and global sensor! That’s what I’d love to see! 6k price isn’t as crazy as I thought but it will be an investment for those who want those fancy features. Thanks for the video!
is the 120fps with sony lenses or will that work with 3rd party. thats the real question
I’m a portrait photographer that shoots all my work at 24mp other than some studio work and I don’t really need this but the global shutter and no sync speed just makes this camera look so enticing. This is really looking like the the perfect hybrid camera.
Wait for the A1 ii! They say it's registered a second top of a line, and until now, nobody really knew what new real development a new A1 could bring. Now we know, it's global registration and that awesome sync flash time that will expand creativity a lot 🎉! Just the samples, my word! Instead of 120fps, probably going on to stack images, for depth of field with blur effect for those macro shots! Well done Sony! You pull off an Ace in an era where all brands are great!
All amazing stuff… but does it have modern network connectivity that actually works? Can it put files in the cloud or another device as easy as my smartphone?
Or are we still stuck pulling cards like floppy discs?
I love the competition between the big three. The tech is insane to what we had a few years ago. Being a Nikon shooter since the 80's I'm not going anywhere. Can't wait to see what FW 5.0 brings to the Z9.
Can’t wait to see what Nikon does with a Z9 Mark II!
@@VABrowneMDPhD that is a few years away for Nikon..been playing catch up since 2018/2019?..Nikon's first mirrorless camera release?..haha I remember having the Sony A7R3 in 2017..and Nikon still didn't have a mirrorless camera at that time..
Is Panasonic not up there in the big 3/4?
@@odd02 for some people no..haha bc for some people Panasonic is only a "video" focused cameras..they don't take Panasonic as a "serious stills" camera..haha
Nikon have been great with FW for the Z9, but I wonder how much more they can squeeze out of that hardware?
Hey, Jared. Does Sony still limit 3rd-party lenses to 15 fps on this? Will we need all-Sony lens kits to take advantage of the frame rates?
$6,000 USD suggested retail price. That's a serious chunk of change.
Around the same as Canon R5 C
A bit less than a decent Leica Summilux 35 mm prime manual focus lens or a pair of high end carbon wheels on my bicycle
Amazing job Sony. Global shutters are the future, thanks for raising the bar (again).
LOL love that guest appearance at the end, nice seeing you Chris!
NO sync speed is incredible. I don't care about most specs, but that changes the game for wedding photography with receptions that require flash. The global shutter is also amazing. I use Nikon, and am very happy, hopefully this will trickle down to other brands.
I knew who I could count on to deliver the goods on this camera
How about high iso and dynamic range? How about the sensor cover? How about compatibility and usability with the LAEA adapters? How about start time? Does it have a fully-functioning touch LCD?
We don’t know yet.
Nikon did it 2 years back with sensor close to this but double the megapixel. All they need is to open up RAW at higher shutter speeds in DX mode.
You are talking about the sony sensor from two years ago but twice the mp. Yea i remember, now still a sony sensor but better with half the mp.
still a sony censor
@@_jbflickz Yes just like MacBook’s Taiwanese sensor. Cute
@@ivankiefer3886 What’s the native iso bro?
No they have not. The Z9 doesn't have a global shutter.
I would like you to test the camera shooting stills with a low light test and show what kind of grain you are getting vs the Canon R3 and R5.
Insane, but insanely expensive. Wonder what the A1 II will cost, if it also features global shutter, but with a higher resolution.
Very exciting times ahead for the camera industry!
Can't do this with higher resolution
@@Q_QQ_Q how do you know?
The card us too slow. Speed is maxed out. Canon and Nikons cfex2 is more than 2x as fast.
@@nordic5490 Sony could switch to those at any time
if global shutter takes off there will be an FX and A7 type body with it in less than 5 years so save your money maybe(?)
that pre-shooting is amazing
This just changed the paradigm of sports cameras... Of course other companies will follow up within few years but this is insane. The true global shutter camera is what I've been dreamed of...
Interesting to see global shutter pushing through. Nikon filed that patent for global shutter sensor with 1000fps and huge dynamic range couple years back. I'm sure Canon is coming up with their solution in R1. Sony didn't mention nothing about the dynamic range (usually always mentioned) and as the base ISO starts from 250 there might still be some cons on this technology
Is this the best hybrid for music videos and still photos? But 24 frames doesn’t sound great for photos
At this point, I'm surprised Sony didn't' also make the camera edit and post the pictures to your social media as you shoot, hashtags and all!
Are the megapixels throttled because of this new tech? Too much data to process that quickly? Think noise could be a problem with these?
I've been praying for Canon to adopt Nikon's base ISO of 64, but this new Sony has a base of ISO250. We'll have to see the results when the thing hits the pundits for field testing but the fact that Sony has been heralded for their dynamic range, will this be a bit of a kink in that part of Sony's armor? We shall see.
is it too late for canon to put in a GS ??? only time will tell I suspect a stacked sensor is what we will get.
I'm a Canon fanboy 100% - However I am so glad Sony brough this out, as Canon has stated that the R1 will be the master of all things - So now they really have to get their stuff together to prove their claim and also get their act together, and get to market before everyone moves to Sony or Nikon. So come on Canon put your money where your mouth is and start rolling out the goods.
If Canon's new "flagship" isn't global shutter and higher megapixel sensor...they'd better rename it again, maybe the R3 II.....'cause if it can't beat this, it shouldn't be an R1.
And if the new R1 is less than this Sony...they sure better not charge what they were likely thinking of charging for it...
Just as the other guy said. I fear another r3 demotion going to happen. But I’d be very happy to see canon just beating this camera so the other 2 will be raring to catch up
People are quitting Canon simply for their lens support.
😂😂 every year analysts and fanboys claiming that "the market is switching to sony" . Just look at youtube or sports fields : most of photographers have canon gear. Then stop this sony hype. Canon responds very well and brings what we want !
@@axelferiswhat? I see Sony gear on the sides of almost every sporting event I watch. The GM logo shows quite nicely on those big white lenses!
Great summary as always. Chris and Jason over at PetaPixel noticed the strange ISO base and range, raising questions on the dynamic range and noise, etc... any hints from your brief use how the images were looking? (I'm praying it's as good as we hope!)
Wait.. does that mean for shows with all different kinds of led lighting and haze we would not get any banding anymore? I’ve been struggling so much with this since going over mirrorless cameras and really being stressed on jobs hoping I get a few good images with less banding!
The Nikon z9 is a little better but still not acceptable for work!
Yes, this is exactly what this means.
@@Maxime-ho9iv than I’m selling all my Nikon gears! Unless Nikon wakes up after seeing that and also go to global shutter.
I would rather like that cause the lenses are not cheap to switch!
Hello, how is the low light performance?
I’m still sitting on the fence on mirrorless. More & more features and capabilities keep bringing added to cameras.The Sony A9 III is so far ahead than anything we’ve all seen. What will Canon & Nikon’s response be?
All these cameras are expensive, and add lenses etc, it’s like buying a truck
@@TigaWould "Y’all are the ones taking things personally like arguing which brand is better will make you a better photographer. lol."
you have the self awareness of a nat, hounding the comments in defense of canon haha
the drawbacks of global shutter will be revealed in time, like how bad 250 base iso is, but...
flash syn at any speed, no banding under artificial light, downplay that all you want it's a game changer for many.
I personally love the cameo of Chris photobombing Fro hahaha
Insane camera, makes me warn to go over to Sony just to get that flash sync speed away . Lets see if Canon r1 Will have s global shutter to
How long can it stay in the preshoot mode before it runs out of buffer? Are we talking seconds or a full minute? Super helpful for wildlife photography as well as sports.
I can't believe how stubborn Sony is about using Type A cards instead of type B.
Because you can still use SD cards in the same slot
I love the fact that they do, because it means that I can use cheap SD cards when I don't need the speed. It's a bit annoying that type A cards are so much more expensive than type B though, I'll give you that. But that's not really on Sony, it's a result of not as many 3rd party manufacturers making type A.
@@photobunny It's the bus. Type A of the same Gen will never be as fast as type B (which is not as fast as type C). Just like PCie 4 is faster than earlier generations, and the old architectures can't even use them. A bit of mental math. A twenty five mp image at 16 bits will be at least 50MBytes. Twenty images is a gig. 120 images per second is 6GB per sec.
@@photobunny 120fps for 16 bit raw is 7gigabytes/sec so even type C is not fast enough to sustain it. There's probably a huge RAM buffer to hold the data before it goes to card. Type C could handle 100fps continuous without slowing down. Type B 50fps, and type A 25fps. So after your RAM buffer fills, I guess the camera will drop to 25fps. Next Gen type A may possibly raise it to 50fps, but the type C next Gen could handle 120fps without slowing down. And with a firehose like that shoving data, you are going to want big storage. We'll see when they measure it.
tested on tennis, baseball, soccer, motocross, anything really. Awesome to see new technology like this. thank you for keeping us on our toes 🙂
The A1 or A9 can shoot all of what you mentioned without a global shutter.
🔥 Well done, Sony! I'll wait and see what Canon does with the R1 before deciding.
You may have to wait until the A9IV comes out.
Short and sweet. Excellent preview!
Bam! Big leap in technology. Well done Sony.
Btw, while one doesn't get banding on LED info boards, one does get all dark or all lit up boards (with fast enough shutter speed).
Note: those LED boards use Pulse width Modulation PWM in order to dim the light, which is basically switching the LEDs on and off very rapidly.
Definitely prefer this to banding
Plus you can just choose what sign brightness you want by shooting a quick burst...
If I am correct they give you an option in the menu that watches for changing light levels and then counteracts on it. :)
On my Canon it's called "Anti-Flicker", develop for shooting using fluorescent light, which switch off at twice the mains frequency.
But that doesn't work for distant LED advertising boards.
Yes!! Changes everything! Specialy the color from your bankaccount. From black to deeeeep red!
That is amazing! Hopefully those specs translate well to actual usage and that this becomes the standard that other camera makers follow.
Not Nikon, they got rid of the shutter on the Z8/9. So no need for a shutter- except to protect the sensor from dust.
@@ofeykalakar1 You know that rolling shutter is still a problem even on cameras without a physical shutter like the Nikon Z9, right?
Quick questions: As a videographer is the A9iii better than the cinema camera FX3?
Highly unlikely. Global shutter sensors usually have less dynamic range than conventional sensors. Their high ISO performance tends to be worse, too.
So this camera is going to give me:
1. Save an insane amount of weight because I can now use standard li-ion flash instead of 600W monolights under the sun.
2. Shoot focus stacking at 120fps, I can shoot at f/2 or f/1.4 and have multiple people in focus and stack the photos in Photoshop.
3. 8-stop IBIS, pre-burst, variable fps with 1 button push, 4 axis multiple angle LCD.
I missed the part about focus stacking at high FPS. Is sony saying the camera can automatically adjust aperture between frames at 120fps? If so, that is an absolute game changer.
No flash sync is the biggest game changer for me. I can't wait until it is a standard in A7 series body. I wonder if we will see it in A7 VI or will we have to wait even later.
I don’t know anything about focus stacking on Sonys. Can they do that at full speed?
@@Eiheimany years away from being in an A7 body.
@@livejames9374 yeah, I feel the same. Global shutter will be probably the easiest ways for the camera manufacturers to differentiate between mainstream and their flagship models.
Really impressive. 120 fps is compatible with all Sony Lens? G and GM? It's a video beast too, can we use it as streaming cam, more than 15fps of my A7RV I mean ;)
The technology is amazing. The flash sync is game changing.
people need to keep in mind that this is primarily a sports action camera - its being released in an olympic year for a reason. 24mp is pretty much the ideal in order to maximize potential in badly lit venues, and also means that photojournalists can send out their photos faster.
Low MP are not inherently good in low light. The a9/a9ii performed worse in low light than many higher MP cameras including the a1 as it had lower dynamic range. I'm also curious to see the sensor tests when the camera is released because I suspect the global shutter isn't going to be without some compromises. If not, kudos to Sony. Sounds like it will be around 5 months before anyone gets to find out.
the base ISO of 250 might be telling here...
@@astrotennessee I stand corrected - the smaller mps are probably just to reduce file sizes for FTP
For some reason, I have been under the impression that some of these cameras AREN'T meant for everyone. Each person has their wants for a camera. Unless you're a professional who's doing pretty well, this camera ain't for you.
I still would like to know about noise - how can you shoot anything at those shutter speeds without cranking up the ISO so high - do you really get a useable image? OK Jared, for the next video show us how to take a pic at a soccer match at 1/50000th of a second. Loved the way you ended this video.
Sony just advanced the industry more than many might realize. Incredibly excited to see how Nikon and Canon follow up, IF they can...
Nikon can't follow. For many reasons: 1. They depend on Sony's mercy: why will Sony give a modern sensor to Nikon? 2. They don't have the money to fly around RUclipsrs, which means that the likes of Tony and Chealsy don't see anything special in Nikon's telephoto range 3. Nikon lacks an entry-level camera that can focus at least as well as the other brands did 5 years ago. They don't have a set of inexpensive lenses that one can recommend to someone starting photography. This means Nikon has issues attracting the new generations. This machine basically kills the Z9 and the R3 (but no one is going to underscore that, because Canon also flies RUclipsrs all around the world). Nikon could cut the prices 20% to try to compete, but they don't have a healthy source of income outside photography Sony and Canon have the costumer electronic devices etc. Sony can also invest in advanced technologies because they dominate the smartphone camera market.
@@jaimeduncan6167jajaja hahaha the sensor of nikon z9 is not from sony... it's from another semiconductor company.... you just have to do a little research. Nikon designs its own sensors and chips. With Sony's shitty sealing, I wouldn't even change my Nikon Z9 for a Sony camera. Also the camera is important but some good glasses more. and Nikon lenses are by far the best. There's a reason Nikon goes to the moon and not Sony.
@@jaimeduncan6167Sony gave Nikon a similar sensor to A1 in the same year. They did hog stacked sensors for a while, however, but it doesn’t seem like Sonys business plan is to eliminate competition that fills their pockets.
The rest of the post seems exaggerated lol except for Sony and canon dropping $$$$ on social influencers.
Can’t wait to see the dynamic range for this beast.
Canon may. Nikon are totally reliant Sony for their sensors, so will have to wait for Sony to make the sensor available for oems.
@@SamandSteve nikon sensor are not of sony, the sensor are of other semiconductor company…. Try Google sir
This camera really is a game changer but that cameo in the end is a nice surprise too
Holy crap. As a rave photographer, id love to see what it could do in low light. Concerts and nightclubs etc
Thinking the exact same thing - been waiting for this for a long time for festivals
Low light may be the global shutters biggest downside, currently it's reported that the base iso is 250.
@@taylorhickman84 yup, no dual iso either
@@miggyloz806 that is disappointing. But I have 1.4 glass so I'd like to think it could be effective still. But maybe I should wait for the a7v
Everything points out it will not shine in low light. Why would you think otherwise?
I have genuinely never heard you this excited Jared! Great stuff Sony!
Must say I’m very impressed with this. It also makes you wonder where it’s all going and where’s the skill level in getting great shots.
It’s like with everything now (like yt or billionaires) very few get to the very high rates of pay, the vast majority struggle to get paid.
The skill will probably be figuring out where to be since every moment can be captured the how is irrelevant. The where is critical.
Photography as a career is pretty much dead at this point at £6000 a camera and the rate dropping for work every year it really doesn't make sense as a career - the industry is just about selling cameras now. @@TigaWould
The skill level is becoming a videographer, because that's basically what photography will become with this camera lol. All that matters will be composition. Everything else is taken care of.
Right moment. Right Composition. When you shoot 100’s of competitors for 12+ hours and they want their images NOW… spray and pray still doesn’t work if you can’t quickly deliver the images for sale.
How much difference between canon R3 ?? Right now $1K off here in usa
The fix in 10 years from now: The new Sony A9 mark 10, 50000 frames per second. While I'm quite impressed with the specs, am I the only one who thinks that things are getting out of hand in terms of how many frames per second cameras can shoot? I mean I almost exclusively shoot with the mechanical shutter at 12 fps on my R6 mark2 and it still feels like overkill at times, even when I'm tracking people or animals. Wish they'd put as much effort into developing revolutionary sensors with better dynamic range and high iso performance instead of focusing on the 120 shots, 119 of which you're going to be deleting anyway.
it is not for consumers and chasing dogs. It is for sports and wildlife. Capturing the best shot when shooting a big sports event is worth big money, and worth sifting thru 120 shots for that great one. Plus, can create a slow motion video from photos alone. Imagine a perfectly clear, cropped, slow motion of a premier league goal. Fantastic.
@@VictorRagusila Wildlife shooters will probably want more resolution, as they often have to crop deeply, to isolate a flying bird.
Totally agree 🙂
@VictorRagusila I welcome the technological advance, but I can't picture why anyone would ever need more than 20 FPS. All these brands are competing the wrong battles, give me better image quality anytime over frame rate. Also, wish we'd have brighter, smaller, better IQ lenses as well.
But OM System have had pre-shooting 20mp in full raw at 120fps for nearly 2 years now... so why aren't you shooting on OM-1 when it's already available?
Imagine what they're going to do with the A1 ii when it gets released!
It’s been out
@@GhosTigre The A1 ii isn't even announced yet.
Here’s hoping they’ll not only include a higher MP global shutter and 8K60fps video but also an android-based operating system with geotagging, anti-theft and so you can share photos more easily.
@@InsertCleverNameHere1 the Sony A1 exists. What are you talking about.
@@GhosTigre Sony a1 Mark II, not Mark I
The question is why they announced it so early? And is that going to pay off for them?
24mp in my mind is the do it all sweet spot. Great detail, reasonable file sizes, nice even 6000x4000 dimensions. I've been shooting with an A7III for a while and this release definitely gives me something to aspire to.
This will be 6x or even 7x (used) time more expensive than A7III 😂
Qeestion for the Fro > How fast is the frame rate for 1080P? It does 120 fps at 4K, so is it 240 fps at 1080P?
I agree, if this works as advertised, camera makers that do not quickly adopt this are dead.
Image quality still sucks..
It's still 24MP, that's 2013 resolution. Especially in a flagship. And less than half the resolution of the previous A9. The tech is not fully ready yet, clearly.
Hi Jared,
I am a fan of your videos. Do you remember when Sony came out with the Sony A1? Only certain lenses were able to shoot 30 fps and 3rd party lenses were only able to shoot 15 fps. How is it that now any lens can shoot 120 fps?
Thanks,
Mathew
Sony did not mention the dynamic range of this camera which is very odd. As is the reduced ISO range which starts higher and finish lower than the A9II
Global CMOS sensors have typically been much lower resolution, lower DR, and noisier than their rolling shutter cousins. Canon's had one since 2022, but it's only 19.4 megapixels, sold for industrial applications. I sounds like Sony has solved most of those issues, but I think a reduced ISO range is something I'd expect, at least for the first generation.
Maybe DR is taking a hit. At the same time, DR has been so huge these years that we have a bit of margin to be honest.
@@Maxime-ho9iv not sure I would want to take a step back in IQ, not when paying $6000. We will have to wait and see. I wonder if reviewers will get the camera before it's released in 4-5 months. Another odd thing and the this release, why the wait
@@nickwilliams7867 it all depends on what « quality » is for you. We just took for granted that our sensor reads line by lane but if you think about it this is the worse quality you can get :)
DR is an order magnitude less important than having straight things straight.
I think global shutter will redefine everything.
@@Maxime-ho9iv that depends on what you shoot. Can’t say I’ve ever seen a photo from an a1 and thought the lines are not straight. If the dynamic range and high iso are no better than the A9 mk1 from six years ago I can not see me getting this. Sony now has the two most expensive full frame cameras . The A9III is a huge 50% more
Than Nikons Z8. We will have to wait and see if Sony has given up on stacked sensors. I would love a A8 with stacked sensor and aimed at wedding and event photographers . Especially if it close to the Z8 in price
Good for Sony for pushing the limits on this. Certainly raises the bar and this is great. As a Canon shooter I hope they catch up or surpass this. Incredible times for us camera people.
I shoot Canon but I am blown away at the specs for this thing! Canon already announced no quad pixel AF on R1, so if they do not stick a global shutter on it then it will really be a game over. Perhaps Canon will call it a R3ii instead if that is the case?
Anyway please test flash sync and composite raw for noise reduction. Those can be game changer features.
It's not as simple as "stick a global shutter on it". An electronic shutter isn't really a thing, it's a process. It's clever timing between camera software and sensor readout channels. The design of the entire sensor is fundamentally different for a global shutter sensor. There have been various problems with them, including noise and low sensitivity.
I predict a lot of funny moments.
Love your energy here bro! Not too much 'in your face', and yet still entertaining. I wish your studio videos in the future can feel the same.
I’ll pay money for a firmware update. There is nothing holding back the A1 other than it’s locked down firmware to protect the A7IV (no focus breathing comp) A9iii (no Pre-Capture) a7C (no Animal/bird eye AF in video) & A7RV (Focus Stacking in body) it’s all firmware... the A1 has the hardware and its crippled because nobody has jailbroken it
They announced firmware updates will be coming to the a1 next year.
Next year LoL
No Animal Eye AF in video, no Pre-Capture, no focus stacking in body. It is a joke or a FW update that will slow down and cripple the A1, just like how Apple slows down and cripples their phones through forced obsolescence
I film table tennis matches and have been trying to find a camera that can track the ball well. Small and fast shot from a sort of long distance. Any recommendations?
I’m amazed it’s priced at 6k. Wonder what’s going to happen to the r3 and r5 price points as they don’t really make sense anymore
Canon being Canon they will just pretend they don’t see.
pre capture in raw files in 14 bit, that is pretty wild. all the sport photographer needs this. those world cup moments
I am still loving my Nikon Z9, I only occasionally shoot kids' sports. Most important of all, I don't have money to splash just for eliminating the banding issue 😂
And you have 46MP!
So true! 😅@@fromshadowlands
You also have pre capture and no rolling shutter
Z9 has recapture but I haven't used it yet, the rolling shutter does not bother me at all. I figure if I am happy with my results, then there is no need to be obsessed with the techs. 😆@@QuickBu66
Sick camera for sure! Very curious as to why only Nikon does internal RAW video still. Sony maybe afraid of lawsuit?
Just jaw dropping specs! Don’t know what to say as a Canon & Nikon user……
With patience; hopefully; it will come, and at a cheaper price.
Who needs a shutter when you’re shooting with a Z8/9, global or otherwise
@@ofeykalakar1 The Z8/9 uses a rolling electronic shutter which "rolls" at 1/270s, faster than the typical 1/250s of a mechanical shutter. Thus, Nikon left the mechanical shutter out.Global shutter means the readout is essentially instant, no roll.
I moved to Fuji a few years ago and I am very happy about that! 😊
That sounds like an amazing camera and for $6,000 it might be fairly priced but it's three times as much as my Lumix s52 but I don't think it's three times the camera.
So does it still have a mechanical shutter curtain or did they ditch that with this release? There's no need for it anymore.
Sony killed it with this one. Time for Canon to show what they got.
I’m sure they will, since their sensors are produced by Sony. Might take a year or two though.
Canon board probably wont sleep tonight, if they dont have fairly good enough global shutter sensor ready to hit the market. Sony made hard and risky move - they set a bar, by being first with GS tech. But now Canon will hit with every "canon" they have, and they will know exactly where to hit, they will find out every single weak point of a9 III, and they will do everything to beat it badly. Oh, Sony, you have old CF Express A card? We will get you better CF. Oh, you have only 192 shot buffer? We will give you bigger buffer, better. Oh you have 120 fps with full AF, and composition...? Well... even if we cant do that, we will give you 200 fps with "some" AF and "some" composition... but, hey look, 200 fps, we are better! And if no, we will give you 60 fps, but with bigger resolution. We will give you ANYTHING, just to show you that we are better (even if we are not).
But it all comes to one big question: Do Canon have fast, stacked, global shutter sensor ready, to hit the market before Olympics 2024?
@@EmilWallcanon makes sensors
@@livejames9374 Yes you are right. I was confusing with Nikon.
