sony a7 III face detection work in 4k
I couldn't get it to work when I tried though. Worked flawlessly on the RIII but not when I wanted test it on the A7III. Must've done something wrong then!
Thanks for watching!
It does but won’t work with an external monitor.
@@PeterLindgren1 turn your proxy recording off then you will able to get face/eye detection in 4k.
sorry to be so offtopic but does anyone know a trick to log back into an Instagram account..?
I somehow forgot my account password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me!

I just bought my Riii. Absolutely love it. Even warranty for shutters is 500k which is most 3 times more than for Riii -200k.
Watching this in 2020 😂 can you do an update on sony cameras? I have no clue what to buy 🙈
A6400
A7iii / A7c
A7Siii
@@maxzett bought the sony a7iii with the tamron 28-75... love this camera 😍
@@maxzett a7siii only if u want a full frame for the Video quality only, if u want a camera for stills/photoshoots then go with:
Sony a7iii/a7C/a7iv
Sony a7rii/a7riii/a7riv (the “r” is for Resolution) 42.4-50megapixels (best for stills/photos)
If u want one for the stellar video quality:
Sony a7sii/a7siii/a7siv (only 12-14 megapixels for stills/photos) but AMAZING crystal clear video quality
& the Sony a7ii/a7iii/a7iv also do okay video (best of both worlds)
@@twiggystardust4636 question, I currently use an a6400 for videos and pictures. I take all of my photos and videos at the motocross track, my a6400 takes decent pictures but it’s nothing to write home about. I was looking to upgrade to a better camera for shooting photos and keep my a6400 for videos. However, I’m not sure which direction to go. I would still use both for video but mainly the a6400 for video, and my next purchase for pictures. Any suggestions?
@@bakerproductions9241 honestly I used to own the a6400 & regret not keeping bcus it honestly took the same pics & vids as my a7iii/a7iv! The autofocus was insane & the stills looked like super good! I always used my Sigma 16mm f1.4 lens DC DN lens & the 56mm f1.4 dc dn those two r the holy grail of lenses in the Sony APSC world. If u don’t own those yet, get those two lenses first then see if u still want to get a full frame, no joke that camera with good lenses will do full frame work. But if u still want to save up for a full frame mainly for the picture res/quality def save up & get the a7riii-a7rV those r the beasts for still/photography. If u wanna go a lil cheaper go for the a7ii-a7iii they do great video & stills! Just remember once u move up to full frame tho the camera body & lenses are even more expensive all of my lenses i own are all $1,200-3k & with a full frame u gotta save up for both. That’s why u should stick with the a6400 for now bcus it does identical work once u have the perfect lenses!
MAN this is awesome and pretty helpful , thank you !
Congratulations on your 1K sub mark! I missed your live video as it was middle of the night here. You’re on a roll! Keep up the great content.
Thank you so much Sue! You'll catch the next one 😀🙌. Thank you, I will do my best 🤓
@@PeterLindgren1 hello Peter I am willing to buy one for a good quality video shoot please which one is better for your opinion?
Hi Peter! I’m thinking about possibly upgrading from the A7iii to the A7Riii. The only thing keeping me is the difference between AF Points. In real world use, would you say it’s “noticeable” when using AF-C at the edges with the A7Riii? By the way, congratulations on 200K subscribers! Well deserved! 😁
Thanks for the video. Going with the A7III for a 2nd shooter!
My pleasure, thank you for watching! Good choice man, it's a freaking insane camera! Gonna drop a video going more in depth on why I personally choose the A7RIII!
@@PeterLindgren1 now here's a better question. my main shooter is an A7R2 should I upgrade to the 3?
Oh, now that is a good one. In case you wanna do video then yes, I would upgrade to the RIII. In case you just shoot stills, then I'd go for the A7III as a backup and keep the rII as your main!
@@PeterLindgren1 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
Kul att hitta en svensk kanal som tar upp mitt favorit ämnen. Digital kameror av märket sony. Keep up the good work!
Välkommen! Sony kameror är the shit =D. Tack, och tack för att du kollade!
Question for Peter: I'm leaning towards buying the a7RIII, but the specs show that the view finder is higher resolution, 3.6M vs. 2.3M (a7III). Can you notice a difference when using the two of them? But more importantly, can you distinguish a difference in the view from the display monitors : a7RIII @ 1.4M vs a7III @ 900k? Wouldn't the a7RIII's display be better for determining if you missed the focus on a shot? And also: Do you feel that the a7III's 693 vs 399 phase detection helped it acquire focus quicker, like it seemed to do in your demo during this video?
Thanks for this Pete! really helped me now..
That was a useful video, thank you for that but I'm still going with A7 III because I really don't need 42MP and huge amount of details! I just need a fantastic camera with standard options like A7 III
The mode switch on the a7riii is there to prevent accidental mode switches especially in conditions where there’s more than 1 user (dp, 1st & 2nd ac, etc). It’s a pro build so every little thing matters
Love your channel great info cheers
Thanks man, love the support!
Thank you for the good video regarding these two cameras.
really enjoyed this!! i was debating whether or not to go for the a7iii or the a7riii. but being a student and all i think i'll settle for the a7iii!
The A7III will be more than good for you man, it's a great camera with all the functions you'll need!
Thanks for watching
Love the video... Helps a LOT
Awesome, glad to help!
Ohh Peter I just stumbled on this old video 😂 gotta say your talking skills improved alot now ❤️
A very clear review, thank you very much.
Thanks dude, enjoyed the video and ask the hand expressions 😊. Super helpful and great concluding remarks about the price difference. 👍🏻
Perfect review
Thank you for your advice.
Bro,just found your channel and i'm loving your content! I can see you're going to blow up with subscribers soon! Keep going man. I just subscribed. My only critique is that I think you should invest in better audio equipment for crispier audio. That's all that separates you from Matti and Pete in my opinion.
Hey man, awesome to have you here!
It would be cool if that happened but i guess we'll see what happens, thanks for the sub!
I would absolutely invest in it if i could afford it and could have a fixed position for the mic, but so far the Rode Video Mic Pro+ will have to do!
Thanks for comparing me to the giants of YT haha!
All the best!
I agree 100% Great job.
I've just ordered the A7III. Coming from Canon SL2.
Hi
thanks for your helpful content because these days I thinking about upgrading my gear from a7 II to some of these two that you talked about. I was confused for buying and now I know there isn`t much different between these two when we have limited budget so I can put the rest of my money to buy another lenses like 70-200 you just said in video. Thanks again and good luck buddy
I’m having the same debate as most between the two. I plan to use the camera for a mix of vlog and photo. In that order. In Dubai, both cameras w/ the GM 24-70 are within $200 of each other. Any advice? Thanks!
Yeah, i'll see if i can make a new video about this which contains more pluses and minuses concerning the cameras.
I would recommend the A7RIII to get the absolute best image quality possible. It works amazingly to shoot events with, vlog with, and is immeasurable when it comes to photos.
So my recommendation in that case would be the A7RIII!
If you added the a7rIV to the mix would you stick with the rIII still or go with the rIV?
Thankyou for your kind information.
You're Welcome!
Thank you Peter i was actually confused for these both camera ... which to buy
Just subscribed here and liked. Thank you! I have a question, I really like to take pictures, so the higher mp count on the Riii sounds appealing, but I also like to import photos AND videos to my phone over WiFi. Will this camera allow me to import both videos AND photos to my iPhone. Thank you again for your time.
Awesome to have you here man!
I am having some issues connecting my phone to my RIII at times but on my A7III i have no issues at all. They both have the latest firmware so i don't know what it is.
You will not be able to import videos straight from the camera to your phone over the WiFi though!
just because of your intro i subscribe .nice video very helpfull
Thank you so much brother for sharing this video ❤
Your almost at 1,000 :D
Yeah! It's been going so insanely fast lol. Thanks for supporting me man!

@@ZBalosch actually 479 :)
Now the A7RIV is out the A7RIII is the best choice. Right?
I have the same question, one year after hahaha. Because RIV is expencive.
Great Channel going to explode! Im torn between the two at the moment. Im wanting to get into duck videography and photography. Im wanting crispy slow-motion with the 120fps, and for low light capabilities. the a7riii does have the 42mp. how crucial is that for fast flying birds, or fast moving birds in slow mo?
Thanks for the compliment, I guess we'll see about that haha!
I'd say go for the RIII, the performance is insane and the image quality is incomparable to any other camera I've tried! Thanks for watching!
I shoot most low light so A7iii is probably the best choice. I'm not interesting much about 42MP but I will miss the nice viewfinder and the weather shielded found in A7Riii. Oh well the A7iv will come out soon so I will wait a bit longer to see what its spec will be!
Hello. I am extremely torn between these two cameras right now. I am a freelancer who shoots a lot of different genres - events, real estate, interiors, portraits, sports, weddings, depending on the projects I get. But, my favourite style of photography is wildlife, always has been. I have recently got into video as well, for my commercial projects only. The reason I'm torn is because I know that the A7III is more than enough for any 'work' that I'll be doing in the near future. However, I still love wildlife photography and birds, and feel like the extra resolution or effective reach from the A7RIII could be crucial in situations. I don't normally print very large though, do make some prints here and there. The first lens I'll be buying for my Sony camera is the Tamron 28-75, since that'll get me started with most of my work. I will buy a telephoto lens later for wildlife. The difference between the two cameras is about $700 in my country. I could spend that money on a gimbal or some other lens or accessory. I would consider myself a semi-professional right now and am coming from APS-C. So, as a multi-genre photographer and videographer who's also into wildlife, which camera would be the right one for me? Sorry if I have jumped between several points, its just I really can't decide which one to get.
What camera you use to take behind the scenes and which kind of lens you use
Awesome Work 👍
This was very useful. Thank you
Fantastic video! Thank you
I'm thinking a7riii, and make the difference on cheaper apsc lenses fir crop mode (like the sigma 1.4 lineup) and still get pics of 18mpx and even better video, while having the option to upgrade later with some serious glass on a body that will stay relevant for years to come.
How does that sound? 🤔😊
Sounds like a plan! The A7RIII is the superior camera and i have it as my main daily driver for vlogs, photoshoots, and all kinds of stuff. Not once have I felt the need to bring up my A7III instead of the RIII. 🙌
Very good points mentioned
Thank you for a great review, i am thinking of buying the a7iii and i want to begin my photography business. Do you think, in the ling run i’ll need the higher resolution or should I stick with the a7iii? Thanks again!
You're welcome! I think the A7III Is fine, then you can take the money you save and buy a good lens!
Peter Lindgren hey man is the eos R better or the a7iii I want to get into professional shooting... Is cLOG a necessary for cinema quality colour grading?
@@mananjoshi1289 you probably bought something already, but don’t buy the eos R if you want to use it as a professional.
Thanks mate 🤝🏼 You helped me decided and I will go for A7III 🤩
Ahh Peter McKinnon reference 😂🔥
Hey man i love your video,,
And i want to ask, i using Camera for UA-cam, short films,street fotography, wild life and landscape. Which i have ?? Thanks
A7riii
It’s not that I’m on a budget, I’m a clear beginner lol but I will be fine with the A7iii with a 85mm & 70-200mm Sony lenses, can’t wait to buy it!!! Thank you for a good fast breakdown video 😃.
im about to but one of this cameras and i want to ask u a few questions for low light how the a7riii preform ? also i found the a7riii for good perice about 200 dollars more than a7iii so do u think i should go for which ? i shout portrait photos most of all so whih one to go for and please answer
In that case I'd buy the A7RIII!
I’m looking for night photography, which one do you recommend more?
Thank you, I wanted to ask you please let me know how to unlock the rocket dial ring of SONY RX100 iii we used for ISO on right and left for Focus and downside for exposure and upper side for screen function when I try to use for shutter speed to move clock or anti clock it is locked. please help me out. regards
Thank you for and Impressive comparison. Is there an overheating issue when taken video from a7iii?
Great review 😊
as a portrait photographer, which will work better for me? a7iii or s7riii. now im using a canon lineups, eos rp and 5d mark iii. budget not an issue here.
how do you manage to get yourself in focus stood from far with sony A7R iii?
Great comparison
Thanks, Glad you enjoyed it!
I am keeping my A7RII for hi-res and I added a A7III for fast action/low light etc. They complement each other quite well.
indeed.exactly what i'm doing as well!
like me!!
Does the cameras crop 4K? Or have a flip screen?
Ahhh I don’t know Peter with hair, my mind is blown. Nice video, killing it back then, killing it now!
You are such a legend 😁. Tnx for helping me decide 😉
Excellent video! As always. But I can't help but think of Borat when I watch your videos.
you did not mention about the video performance. i heard that a7iii is better than a7r iii in video performance. and other i want to ask you.. what camera you are using for your channel.
I am so torn between the two, but I am more of a photographer.
Would you recommend getting a refurbished or used A7R iii, or would you just recommend buying it completely new
If you're more of a photographer I'd go for the RIII, its unmeasured in image quality compared to the A7III. If you can get a good one used then go for it!
Thanks for watching!
I opted for the a7riii. It was my first Sony body, and coming from a d850, I thought it would be tough to give the resolution I had become used too. Another concern for me was the EVF quality. At the time I purchased the a7riii, I actually wanted the a7iii, but it was hard to find it in stock and I'm an impatient person. Purchased mine used personally.
Gotta say, the A7RIII is without a doubt THE best camera i've used. I'm gonna do a long term review of it with the pros and cons that i've found!
I shoot both photo and video but primarily for live music/concerts. Is the low light THAT much better on the A7iii than the A7Riii? I am currently shooting with an A6000 and looking to upgrade. The A6000 has actually been doing a decent job but some shows are just too dark.
You know what, i'm gonna do a test on this particular subject to see if the A7III actually is THAT much better. Personally i prefer the RIII due to the insane image quality it produces, but the A7III is the most bang for the buck!
thanks for the info...great !!!!!
Hi Peter. Every now and then these two cameras are priced equally for a short amount of time. Which one would you buy in 2020 if the price was the same?
Go for 7Riii. - shutters have more warranty - 500k to 200k on Riii.
Fotar mycket rovfåglar och vilda djur, i dagsläget har jag en Sony A6400. Är sugen på att uppgradera till FF och det känns som att det är dessa 2 som är inom min budget. Men har väldigt svårt att bestämma mig. Är A7III en tillräckligt stor uppgradering? Förlorar ju lite zoom men det går ju att komplettera med en telekonverter.
I already have the 7iii and need a second camera. In 2021 the 7riii looks like a good update and the 7iii will be my burst mode camera while the Riii my portrait and headshot camera? We'll see. Thanks anyways for the video
Thanks for video
I have a personal setting for sony a9 and a7 III and never have problems with Face detection in 4k
Awesome, thanks for the link and thanks for watching!
Did u used eoshd for this video?
great video it was dude love from india....
Wow! So another camera pro I follow, Manny Ortiz just published a video saying that he’d choose the a7r3 if he was starting today which made me decide to come and do some research here with you, another camera pro I admire and follow.
I have a Sony FX3 and I use it to shoot video but I don’t feel like it is a photography camera even though I know I can get good photos out of it. I want to learn more photography and was looking for a starter camera and because at this point the price is about $1500 used, I think getting the a7r3 would be a great option for me to get started. Thanks for this video
Keep it up bro.
Thanks man, will do my best!
Sir
Can you tell the camera you have used to shoot this video it has more clarity than me
Awesome video! Quick question; I'm looking at upgrading to either bodies with the intention of eventually doing wedding photography.
I was leaning towards the A7iii but the super 35 mode in the A7riii will be a far more useable resolution. I think it's about 10 megapixels in the A7iii and 18ish in the A7riii. So if in weddings (say during the ceremony when you cant get close to the bride/groom) you could have a 85mm and use it in super 35 mode to get a 135mm length using the A7riii. Otherwise i'd have to pretty much purchase a 135mm lens. It might actually end up costing more getting the A7iii??
Thanks dude! If your main purpose is gonna be photography I would go with the A7RIII, it is immeasurable. I would not shoot stills in crop mode though since your images wont be as sharp. But if you buy the Batis 85 or something similar then your images will be amazing on the RIII! Thanks for watching
One can easily say guy knows the craft, thanks.
which is better for real estate video and photos? and event video and photography?
I have both of them love them
Hi mate thanks for the video
So If I do commercial videos, short films, real estate and food photography, which one you think,?
I'd go for the A7III and a good lens to go with it!
@@PeterLindgren1 Thanks man ,am new to Sony :(.Can you recommend a lens that cover wide range of angels from wide to macro ?if it exists ?I just sold my GH4 and still have some good micro third lenses ,so i need to do a big step and move to full frame .And do you know if i can use mft lens with Sony if I get adapter ? do you its worth it ?
Thanks alot
@@saMediaProductions I would not recommend using an adapter if you're doing video work. The best lens i know so far when it comes to macro capabilities is the Tamron 28-75 lens!
@@PeterLindgren1 Cheers man for the advice
So i have the Panasonic GH5 for videos. But now i really want to start taking photos as well. Im starting to regret buying the GH5 after the Sony A7RIII came out..
Great comparison. I own the A7III, A7RIII, and A7RIV. The A7III is my workhorse for one important reason that I didn't hear you address...workflow. The R3, and especially R4 uncompressed raw files can bring even a pretty fast computer to it's knees. Of course this depends on how intense your editing is. I do a lot of composites and use a fair amount of radial and gradient filters. Those 61MP files are no joke.
Thanks for mentioning this, this isn’t something that isn’t always addressed but definitely should be!
The details Of 42mpx win for me. 61 is too much. 24... no Thanks.
I'm planning on buying a7iii for weddings mainly for video but I also took photos and I often resize or recomposed my shots for post. What do you think about the result? I mean based on your experience does it loose a lot of details when you crop your images about 85%?thanks in advanced... God bless
Hi! Well, the A7III will be more than enough for you to shoot with for sure. There is a slight decrease in the images of course but then again, it is not gonna be noticable unless you are doing prints or similar things that require a high resolution!
Both cameras are great but my personal preference is the Sony A7RIII
@@PeterLindgren1 thanks a lot.. Your channel is very informative... Congratulations sir... Cheers to that.!!!
Still confused which to get. I want a quality vlogging cam and nature photography that I will print later on. Maybe go into photography biz too. Pls recommend me a lens too 🤔
Idk if you got one already or not, if not then go with the a7r iii, you will appreciate the more pixels in your nature photography. Here where i live they both around the same price.
So i notice here...that for stills...i better buy the 7Riii instead the A7III?thanx
2023 and I'm staring at these two cameras used. The 7 III is only $60 cheaper than the r III and I'm trying to decide which one to pull the trigger on. The gearhead says r III but the practical shooter says III. I hate choices like this.
clear and understand the message
Sir, Which is best for portrait, wedding,sports, landscape,low light photography and also daily street photography??
Plzzzz reply me....
A7III: Low Light Photography, Sports, and Video
A7RIII: Landscapes, Portraits, and Weddings
The A7III is more of a entry level full Fame camera, but it doesn't mean that it's weaksause. The A7III has crazy low light performance due to having less megapixels than the A7RII. On the other hand, the A7RIII is more for professionals becuase it has that 42 megapixel count for Landscapes, Croping, and Large Prints.
If your looking to start off with a mirrorless camera, I would go for the A7III just because you get alot of features for a great price. But if you have money, then just go for the A7RIII becuase of the high megapixel count, which is 42.2 megapixels. But it's your choice tho, both are good cameras.
I appreciate this comparison! I have a job where I'll need to use a sony coming up and this was super helpful for someone who doesn't know the A7 lineup at all.
Awesome man, happy I could help! Go nail that job then 😀👍
I'm completely torn between the two. I do about video and photo, so couldn't decide on either because of that. I am worried about the editing of the A7Riii images. At 42MP is it very demanding on your pc to edit (say in Lightroom)? My PC is good enough but my travel lap top I'm worried won't cope with the bigger files. For wedding photography I'd love the 42MP quality but worried it takes years editing 1000 images. Your thought's? I'm currently in China and the price difference isn't that much to be honest. Thanks in advance and congrats on hitting 1k subs, your channel will keep growing with the great content buddy.
The RIII will give your images a completely different "oumph" to them, so if your main focus is to take great images I'd go for the RIII!
And it works fantastically in Videomode too so you got a great camera either way.
I have no issues editing the image on my macbook but it depends on what computer you have I guess.
Thank you so much, I hope you guys enjoy the content!
@@PeterLindgren1 Many thanks buddy. You may have helped make my decision. Take care and keep the great videos coming.
@@user-gn9rf3rc5s You're welcome. Hope you enjoy those crispy 42mp shots!
Sorry you may have already spoke to this in the comments but you said you had to send in your a7r for repair. What happened to it? Thanks great video.
It was the microphone input that broke. Unfortunately it seems like i gotta send it off again due to the sensor shaking. But i'll keep you updated!
Im sorry to hear but thanks!
Do use a Laptop or desktop for editing? and which one you recommend
Yes, i use a macbook pro 15 inch retina with 2,9GHz i7 Processor, 16GB RAM, and Radeon Pro 560 4 GB.
Works amazing!
I need your gym workout plan
i needed a better low light beast, so I went with a7 III
A7riii all the way. Got mine for $1800. It’s so annoying having people debate which is better. If you don’t want the 42 megapixels option get the a7iii. At the end of the day it’s the person using the camera that matters.
You got a great price on it! I do agree, the A7RIII is my choice and daily driver, but as you say... If you don't want the 42mpx then go for the a7iii. Both cameras are incredibly good, but the A7RIII is slightly better. Thanks for watching!
The topic should be “Which one you can afford?” The A7r3 was so damn expensive
Why did you have to send your Sony A7RIII for repair? Any quality issue on this camera?
hey Peter, I'm thinking of getting a camera to shoot like traveling photos with me and my family. i am unsure about long hour vlogging, but i will take videos during important moments.
I was wondering which would you recommend?
1) A7 RMK ii ( 550 USD )
2) A7 MK iii ( 1175 USD )
3) A7 RMK iii ( 1175 - 1321 USD )
Any help from others are greatly appreciated too! I am a beginner who is looking to go into photography over the upcoming years!
I mainly shoot wildlife, and I just shot an air show. So i need something with good AF, which would be better? I will be coming from a Canon 6D and 1D Mark IV. I will likely be using mostly Canon mount lenses such as the Sigma 150-600. Which would be better for me? I don’t shoot much video at all. I’ve looked at the A9 but that’s just too much for me to spend as I do photography as a hobby. Thanks!
I would absolutely go for the A7RIII due to the high resolution sensor. But I would also try to invest in to some native glass since it will be heaps better than any adapted.
The A7RIII is gonna give you crisper images and crop opportunities in post!
Peter Lindgren ok, thanks! Is the AF tracking on the A7R iii any worse than the A7iii?
