I've had this video on "watch later" for the longest time. Finally got my a7III yesterday and am so thankful for this video!!! You rock Jason Vong!!!!!!!

[@serag6308]

Second time I watch this, and won't be the last... Thank you so much for your efforts...Not boring at all! Just (finally) got my a7 III today (another Canon user charmed). This and other Sony a7 III walkthrough videos you made are so very valuable! Thanks a bunch again got yourself a new subbed fan

[@JasonVong]

Congrats!!

[@JamesZhan]

Jason, thank you SO MUCH for this in-depth tutorial. I just got my Sony A7 III and this is my first time to the Sony system. This video has helped me tremendously and it is really one of its kind on RUclips right now. I hope Sony recognizes your effort and rewards you properly. Your videos on the Sony mirrorless system is some of the best on RUclips. Keep it up!!! Thanks again!!!

[@EliInfante]

Thanks for making the time to make this video Jason! I was waiting for someone to create something like this.

[@JesseKokotek]

Best tutorial video I’ve checked out so far for the new a7iii...thanks dude

[@rananapier8424]

I'm going to be getting the A7III very soon, and I watch this video almost twice a week in anticipation! I'm so excited for it, and your channel does nothing but make me even 10x more excited to use this beautiful camera.

[@venomfall]

I watched this about a year ago when I was frantically trying to learn as much as I could about the A7iii. I can happily say I am now rewatching after finally being able to take one home!

[@elevatedmediacompany]

Hands down most informative video I’ve found! Exactly what I’ve been looking for since buying my a7iii. I was lost in all the settings and menus before this. Thanks a million!

[@MaladTimesMumbai]

thanks .....given good knowledge

[@NacuFilms]

Woohoo it’s here! 🔥

[@FamilyofTech]

Thanks sir. You are great help to us!!

[@jennt2250]

Thank you for this! it really HELPS with going through the menu, giving examples, and adding Video sample in during your explanation. I know this must have taken a while, it's very appreciative, thank you.

[@courtneyscott2457]

This was really helpful. Thank you for putting this together!

[@davebailey5678]

Jason I have referred to your video at least 2 dozen times...funny if you don't use these cameras constantly (I'm just a hobbiest photographer) you forget..if you are starting from zero these cameras can be a challenge..You have done the best job of showing how work the memory or quick function keys. When I started I had missed the dial control features and the relationship to the function keys. You and Tony Northrup are my favourites for how to tutorials...thanks a lot and continued success....

[@uplift_tv6347]

Wow! This was so helpful and easy to follow - thank you, thank you!!

Probably the longest video I watched on RUclips but certainly the most informative. I did feel that you skipped a couple of bits there because you were exhausted but definitely deserve a shoutout. Well Done!

Just received a shipping confirmation on my A7 III a couple of hours ago so this is super helpful to brush up on while I wait for the camera to get here. Also, as a RUclipsr myself, I know this had to be pretty painstaking to film AND edit, so thank you for taking the time to do this!
