Really happy you got invited and were able to attend. You put in your hard work and deserve to be recognized as the real deal by companies.
Even as a Nikon fan, I feel the price is pretty good for a Pro sports camera. Global shutter is so impressive.
From "IS turned on, then turned off"
To being invited by Sony itself.
Congrats Chris.
So glad you got the recognition from Sony to travel to this event!
Can you please do a comparison between sigma 70-200 f2.8 sports vs canon rf 70-200 f2.8
On canon r5 body
Thank you
I only buy lenses because of your reviews
You deserved it to be invited to this event. You make the best lens reviews - not only on RUclips, but over all. An amazing consistency and as you keep your testing procedure almost untouched since your very first videos makes it easy to compare diffrent lenses. You are improving your testing procedure by adding new cases, but all of the past changes have made sense to me. Someone is looking for a new lens should first watch your videos. Amazing work! So I'm very happy to see you on this event, because that means that also in Sonys opinion you are not any longer any random dude on RUclips. Thumbs up for your work and of course this video.
I always wondered if your voice was computer generated due the level of acurate pauses and staccato rhythm. So pleased to see you are actually able to talk like that in real life. Great humour and I always enjoy your lens reviews and bought lenses as a result of them.
Congrats on earning the invite!
Congratulation Chris.You must be one of the newest RUclips influencers to be invited to a Sony conferences..
Keep up the good work
Hi Chris!
It was really nice talking with you in Antalya!
Hope to see you soon in the next event 🙂
Great to meet you too, Fabio! I enjoyed watching your own video. Although, my Italian isn't as good as your English :-) ciao for now!
Glad to know you are invited and recognised by SONY ❤❤❤
😮. Nice! It was about time for sony to have you on board. You made me switch to sony. Great job 👏
This is why i love sony.
We get to put a face to the name. Nice!
I only managed to see one at the Sony booth here in Toronto at ProFusion Expo. I should have taken the chance to handle it, but i had to leave early for work purposes. They had a model shoot setup, and the demonstrator added dry ice smoke and had her flick her hair to demonstrate the 120fps.
Congratulations Chris on invite for Sony Event
Many more opportunities to come🎉🎉🎉
It is great to know you have been invited to one of these events after all the Sony cameras and lenses you have tested and made videos about. While I have never used or plan to use any Sony cameras anytime soon as I am happy with my Panasonic cameras, this global shutter could be game changing in the future, especially for sports and wildlife photography and also for video. It is amazing that this camera can shoot at up to 1/80000 sec but I am sure you'd need a lot of light for that. I am interested in what the dynamic range and noise is like from this camera as global shutters have been known in the past to have slightly worse dynamic range than rolling shutters.
Good to see you invited to this event, and thanks for sharing. It’s a beast of a camera and it’s great to see what’s possible nowadays. A vidoe centric version of this one also could be interesting, but let’s see. Wish you a nice weekend 🙏🏻
Nice. Thanks Christopher for such prime review
Thanks for your quality videos.
Great to see you invited to press events!
Thats really stunning camera
Awesome camera! Thanks for the video about it!
They even addressed the ergonomics! My only real complaint is Sony's decision to continue using the slower, pricier CFexpress Type A cards.
Type A is for identical dual-card-slots. The Type B cameras only include 1 Type B slot.
@@aliendroneservices6621it depends of the camera not the card type. Type a cards are slower, lower capacity and more expensive than type B
@@aliendroneservices6621 That makes sense. The Nikon z9 is the only model I can think of with 2 Type B cards, but that is a much larger body. It's a bummer, but at least there's logic behind their decision.
I am happy for u . U deserve to be there after doing wonder reviews of lens and cameras. Thanks to your videos, I have bought the right lens after seeing different videos of the ef lens from tamron tokina Sigma and 3rd party lens.. if didn't watch your videos for sure, I already had bought the wrong lens even if it was f2.8. Thanks again for the great videos. Keep up with Good work
Finally the best reviewer in the world is here.
Good to see your face man
Thanks for another informative video. A small nitpick on the mistake I see a lot of coverage making when mentioning readout speed.
With rolling electronic shutter, end of exposure of each row happens on its readout. Thus readout speed affects how much rolling shutter you see.
With global shutter end of exposure and readout are separate processes. You either stop charge accumulation (leaf shutter) or transfer the charge from photodiodes to nearby analogue memory that is not sensitive to light. Doing that across the whole sensor at once makes shutter global. Afterwards you can take your time reading and digitising the collected charge. Older global electronic shutter sensors have slower readout than many modern rolling ones, but that doesn't stop them from being global.
In A9 III case there's both a global shutter and fast readout afterwards (which allows 120 FPS capture).
I wonder if AF will be better as it doesnt have to look at a distorted image with rolling shutter or wait for the mechanical shutter to fully open.
I'd be surprised if Canon can answer this before the Olympic games. This looks like a huge strategic win for Sony.
True. If the R1 doesn't have global shutter, it's dead on arrival...
@@xmj6830 It's not necessarily a global shutter but they should have low rolling shuttler enough as Z9 and has 120 fps raw as A9 III.
I was saying that it's too bad Canon stated they couldn't get their quad pixel AF ready for the R5mkII and R1, so it'll be absent from both. Canon can make very fast readout sensors without a global shutter. I predict it'll be at least as fast as the Z9, with at least 50mp. But if they could add in body VND, that could gain traction for Canon.
@@HeadlessChickenTO I don't think you understand what we are talking about here. It's a huge leap forward in digital photography! Instant readout open the door for better photography in many areas...period. Fast readout is the past!
Jake von CVP seems to find a second Base in slog3 at ISO 6400 with the same noise like Base ISO 2000. Also the pictures Fro takes looks really good - so the IQ is maybe pretty good for a gs sensor.
goodness, I didnt notice until halfway through its got a proper grip on it!! How many years of going on about sony ergonomics has it taken for this? Stuff the global shutter, get that grip on future cameras
That's the face behind the voice. Would love to see it in intro/exit of every video :)
The best review of them all.
Really nice you got the invite.
Have you met any fellow YTbers from Europe / Asia there?
Respect Chris! If you are well known enough to get invited to a Z9 event then you are also worthy of a Sony invite. Let hope it’s because they rate you excellent lens/camera reviews rather than Sony just wanting to impress people who Nikon thought were worthy...
In camera corrections are turned on
Thanks for the video!
There's one photography genre where the shutter really is 'game changing.' Weather chasers shooting lightning, sprites, and other extremely bright, brief phenomenon.
But when the camera costs as much as a typical chase season, it's gonna be hard to justify buying one. An occasional rental will have to do, at least for now!
ruclips.net/video/b3BP_Gy-Fi0/видео.html
Also strobists. So not just weather chasers.
@@Lucy-dk5cz True! I've never played with that, but it looks fun.
No mainstream interchangeable lens camera has had a global shutter... since 2010, at least! Just a bit of a nitpick, all the old CCDs were global shutter.
Yeah i think everyone forgets this
The rolling shutters in the 'movies' are still there.... although in a very small way.
What do you mean?
Can someone tell me if there’s even a mechanical shutter at all?? If not, does that mean there isn’t anything such as “shutter life” on the A9iii???
No. It doesn't need one :-)
Cameras have gone full AI with ever increasing processing power and almost fully autonomous technology. It sounds crazy but it seems camera needs operator rather photographer needs camera. Great video!
De fondo se ve Iker (Photolari) JAJAJAJAJA
Hey Christopher nice job
Can you please do a comparison between sigma 70-200 f2.8 sports versus canon rf 70-200 f2.8 on a canon r5 body
I really need your help in making the best decision
It was after your reviews i bought 3 sigma art lenses
Thank you so much
❤hi
Horse for courses --- great camera for what it is intended for
..only croppers need mp - frame it properly and 12 mp is enough
"Mini disc player".....you're about 30 years off :-)
31 to be exact. My dad bought the first one in 1992. 😭
I thought Chris’ comment was very funny!
Btw somehow a lot of people going how stupid expensive is it, but the A9 II and Z9 msrp was only 500USD less, the R3 the same as the A9 III, and the A1 was even pricier by 500 at launch.
I will definitely get one, few years down the road on the used market:)
I don't know if you need that.
This is my first time seeing your face and I thought you were way younger.
It's always shocking to hear the dollars and pounds numbers. I'd hate to be buying camera gear in the UK.
A new Walkman?
That lens would make a new hole in my wallet.
I’m wondering where that Canon global sensor is at that they announced about two years ago?
Canon has lots and lots of cool stuff. But they will not sell it. Probably have it waiting for a specialist product at a much higher price.
In 3 to 5 years this will be standard, and the price will drop to a quarter...
Tradidionaly before olympics, camera manufactures unveil great cameras. The a9 III will be available for purchase in sprig 2024 just before olympics. Now lets wait for the Canon response.
Certainly a R1 flagship.
Beyond these, the days of the mecahnical shutter are numbered. After the removal of mirror, the mecahnical shuuter is the next revolution.
No moving parts inside make a camera reliable and and its assembly cheaper and faster.
Of course best cameras will be always very expenive.
It won’t be long before this is considered a fairly low spec, Nikon and Canon will not be far behind!
Strange you say that about the price, considering the price of that "archaic" Leica you tested recently. Some guys have all the luck, some guys have all the fun, but then again, if someone deserves it, it's you.
@3:12 but the fuji xh2 has a faster shutter speed of 180000 .I'm surprised that every RUclips video about the sony a9 is impressed with this fast shutter speed .even there an old camera with a faster shutter already
Which is impressive! But it has 31ms readout speed, so rolling shutter is substantially worse
Excellent Video.. Very well done...🏆🏆🏆

CF Express A Cards = no thank you even if it was $100
It's so the Sony cameras can have dual identical card slots (4 slots in total). If you try to record simultaneously on a Canon or Nikon, you'll be slowed to a crawl by the SD card.
Sony uses CF Express A cards as they are smaller then Type B and can be used as dual Cards slot configurations in small cameras. The only camera with dual type B is Nikon Z9 which has build in battery grip. Not Canon, Sony, Panasonic, Fuji and OM Systems has cameras with dual Express Type B cards for dual and relay recording. Most use on type B and old SD Card.
Please don't say "global shutter." Please, Chris.
Nevermind.
@@artphototechglobal shutter!
@@hardywoodaway9912 😂😂😂ffs
How about 24.6 million pixel simultaneous read-out?
@@shang-hsienyang1284 ugh I cried in terrible dynamic range just now 😭
