I got mine in October 2023 new for around 1600€. It's excellent. The only things I miss are S-Cinetone and Active Steadyshot for video :D
What you said about video is absolutely true. It is by no means bad at video. It depends on what you expect. Of course, stabilization is always a prominent aspect in video and full frame sensors. Shooting stationary video is not a problem at all, image looks great. As far as you move while recording, you have to consider some aspects to be able to get it stable in post.
@@fotosvond_ Yes, I noticed that I really have to be steady while shooting videos which is a bit of a bummer. The steady shot does not help much in shooting videos. But for what I use, I am fine with mostly shooting stationary videos. Thank you so much for watching and congrats on your new camera :)
Great vid! I was surprised how much I enjoyed the A7R V as a mainly videographer (did a review on the 8k if you wanna check it out).
Those extra MPs always come in handy...Subscribed!
@@TravisVarga Thank you so much for watching! I’ll be sure to check out that vid because one day I might want to upgrade to a A7RV
I uograded from an A7R and Pentax K-1 to an A7RIII last year, managed to find a new one for £1,600.
Bottom line. It has phenomenal image quality but I miss the K-1 for the simple joy of photography.
Thank you sir for given information 😊
@@TechGamerAw1 Thank you so much for watching!
Great video. TY.
@@auxsom You’re welcome. Thank you for watching.
Good review . I might buy and used A7RIII .
Thanks a lot for watching! Definitely recommend it.
I have good news for you. Two ways to solve the monitor and finder problem when the monitor is not completely closed and you want to take portrait photos. First you choose a custom button that is comfortable for you (I use the C4) and as a function you assign it to change to finder or change to monitor (it doesn't matter) second, if you want the change to be permanent you go to the monitor function and change it front Auto to manual, if you want a more intelligent variant you leave it in auto. What will happen is that even if the monitor is not perfectly closed or in some open position, when you press the assigned button the image will change to the finder allowing you to take the portrait photo without delay, then when you stop using the finder the auto function returns to have priority and the image will go to the monitor without you doing anything.
@@marcelocampoamor4761 Hey Marcelo, Thank you so much for the detailed help. I will implement this on my camera straight away!
I still have an a7r3. I don't think I'll ever get rid of it; it's still a solid backup camera. My only gripe is the autofocus is slowish for fast moving action
I’m on the same boat! Really don’t see the need to upgrade any time soon. Yes i did notice that sometimes it struggles when im using my 35mm 2.8za when there are some moving subjects, but much better than other cameras that i own haha
you didn't get it for fast movie action did you?
@@Juventinos no, I got mine for landscapes, portraits and product photography. But after using a9's and current generation sony cameras you can really tell how sluggish the auto focus system is
@@AlexKimPhoto I have the Sony FE 35 f1.8 and the autofocus is working without problems, I have the A7III too and there is not difference in Autofocus speed with this lens.
Compressed RAW will save you a TON of space just FYI, there's no literal difference between the two. Yo ucan consider compressed raw as a half processed, half baked process BUT you still have absolute tons of room to edit ad adjust. I Have the A7R ii and it's great for both modes and I recently started using compressed raws and I'm a dark, blacks almost fully dropped moody type shooter with occasional high key and neither side shoes signs of breaking when I edit. Plus you get like triple the buffer rate. Give it a try! Hybrid shooting.. all cameras have to process files before you can switch modes so don't blame the camera. That's just threading purposes can't blame em. Imagine being in the middle of processing files and your boss pulls your files away and throws a pile of something else, you loose your place lol
Thank you for this information! I saw from other photography youtube that compressed raw is just as good as uncompressed raw, but it was hard for me to take a leap of faith because I’ve been shooting uncompressed for 3 years and i like to shoot in darker situations. But hearing from your user experience convinced me.
Wow, faster buffer rate from compressed raw is something that never crossed my mind! This absolutely convinced me to use compressed raw. Thank you. Yes i thought that switching modes while processing was the norm for all cameras haha but now with the faster buffer rate, it would matter less. Thank you so much for the comment and watching my video! Hope you have a great start to your week!
@@AlexKimPhoto I was the same exact way for as long as I've been shooting raws, at first i needed the buffer rate for sports so i switched to jpegs but i didn't like what I was stuck with when i wanted to edit. I switched to compressed raws and i was like well shoot no difference, double to triple the buffer rate. i can burst raws all day long now LOL. Haven't switched back since UNLESS I'm doing a high paid shoot where it's more still semi moving not so much bursting but otherwise, compressed raws for me! Glad i can help man yea give it a real street photography try when you get out again... nothing but compressed. Do a buffer test too right now, it will burst to no end LOL. On my A7R ii I get like 22 bursts and I think it's every lasting on yours which is a body I'm soon going to get
@@tonypmedia Yes, I am planning to shoot a POV street photography episode. So I will be giving the compressed raw a first shot at it. I will be shooting videos as well so i will get some real life comparisons when switching from photo to video. I am more excited to be on my photoshoot now thanks to you! Hope you get your A7R3 soon and hope it suits your needs! It is a fantastic camera!
@@AlexKimPhoto Thank you!. I'm supporting you with an awesome subscribe and bell for ALL so i can see your update video and take on this.
@@tonypmedia Thank you so much! I really appreciate the support! 😁🙌🙌
