Great video, thanks! I have the A7R4 and the A7S3 and was considering selling both for the A7R5. The main thing that's pushing me is the 8k video. The ability to crop in and get a little extra length (APS-C mode) is so great. Also, on the A7S3 I believe when you shoot 120p it crops 10% of the frame at 4k.
The 8k on the A7RV is horrible if you plan on vlogging or just moving the camera a lot. The only thing i can think of off the top of my head would be scenarios where the camera is on a tripod or something of that sort focusing on a somewhat still subject like interviews/podcasts etc. sure it works fine but you must be mindful on what you plan on using 8k on the A7RV especially since it only offers it in 24p. I still plan on getting it even tho im more of a hybrid shooter. The video capabilities seem great for the most part for what i plan to shoot.
It’s only a 1.5x crop not 1.6 which is Canon’s crop. Also, even in crop mode still provides 26mp which is higher than most competitors in general. You can also just shoot in Medium size and not crop so the flexibility is awesome.
nice comparison! I just tried the a1 for a few weeks and loved it. however im interested to see if the A7RV rolling shutter will be as bad as it has been claimed in comparison. looks like the a1 is a bit below the A7RV when it comes to AF, but better in every other area!
Thanks Jon! Great comparison. It cleared up my short list picks. I'm shooting primary videos of live partying/concerts in low light. Which of these two should I choose ?
You lose out on the full AF system when in Clear image zoom. APSC mode reduces size of the sensor being captured but still full quality. The clear image zoom technically reduces image quality but typical Sony magic, does an incredible job and it may not be a big enough difference you’ll notice. But ultimately, the APSC mode “should” be better quality than Clear image zoom. Guess it should be tested
If you know about Sony R series are good for photo ! S series are good for video! And A1 needs to be redo! And Sony sure will integrate latest Ai into it off course
Hey my friend, I just picked up the A7RV myself. Highly capable camera. I just switched from Canon. Question, there are 3 different file formats for 4k. Which do you use or which is best for full frame 24fps to get the cleanest shot? Thanks man! Great video
XACV HS - compressed, smaller file sizes XACV S - Easier to edit than HS unless your computer has decoders for H.265 (HS). Standard format for the past Sony cameras XACV SI - best quality, largest file sizes, best with fast moving scenes (other formats use pixel binning I believe)
I'm a video maker who does ads for tiktok, and most, if not all of it is fairly well lit, but i switched from a an A7IV. i feel like i got tricked by the store tbh, as i told them i needed an upgrade on the A7IV for video. so far it feels pretty nice looking, but I'm also still a noob lol. wondering if i should go back and exchange for the SIII
I came from a7iii and the. Upgraded to dual a7iv. But then I have picked up dual a1. I have a a7r5 coming tomorrow. Should I keep it as third camera for trinity use?
I've been looking at the fx30 and the fx3 for video so much lol I need someone to just make the decision for me and then the a7r5 decides to enter the chat lol
Would the A7RV disable the full brillant AI assisted AF when using digital clear image in video ? I am mainly doing video work and everything makes me lean toward the A7SIII which we own along FX cameras but that full AFC disabled when using Digital Clear Image zoom annoys me when wanting to shoot wildlife. Thanks 🙏
Sony first started allowing full AF tracking while using CIZ in the ZV-E1 and then 6700. Presumably because it needs the AI chip. It’s something we hope they can bring as an update to the R5 which I agree, makes a huge difference.

@@sneakergearz thanks for your answer. So far, it’s the same for A7RV then… too bad
Great video, informative. On a side note, Looking at you, something is not right. I consult to help people. You need to do Ruqya, hijama, get them out, and cut down on tattoos. Reach out for more info
Hi, I am from INDIA 🇮🇳🇮🇳 and I was very impressed after watching your video and a lot of confusion got cleared. But I need a suggestion from you --- Can I use SONY A7SIII for web series , short film and cinematography?
I sold my a7Siii and bought A7IV, because I need the extra mpx but... men, I don't now if buy it again JAJAJA and work with these 2 cameras together... the non crop at 60 or even 120... made my life so easy at weddings films
I agree. I used the A7RV for 4 wedding films as my A cam but then switched back to the A7SIII. The images looks better and for some reason it feels easier to use for video.
I want a A7R5 with the Tamron 20-40 that should also give me 60mm at 30mp. I reckon I shoot mainly medium raw tho. Question: do you shoot log for a wedding, I don't shoot log was hoping to shoot straight out of camera.
Great video and analysis, learned something new, thanks for that, but I was just wondering why would they ever make one camera with all these features bundled into one when people would buy two of their cameras, more sales for them, unless they feel threatened by a competitor that bundles these type of features into one, only then they might release a single camera that does everything I guess, right now that competitor doesn't exist I think
Great video. What's a hybrid shooter? Here's a question for you. Would it be possible to get the "look" you have in the opening of the video where you're in the shot in your office? (Great lighting and soft background!) Specifically, it would be great to have that quality when on company conference calls.
If you are just interested in 4K video, I would go with the a7S III. With 12.9 MP, it is 4K without all that downraezng that would be required with the a7R V and its 61MP sensor. A frame of 4K uses 8MP. The a7R V has 61MP. You don't need that for any video. The a7R V camera is more a hybrid. It is a photo camera that does video. The a7 S III is a video camera that does photos.
Yesterday I was filming a wedding and I noticed the S Cine tone looked way better on the A7siii. I feel like the A7R v looks a little muddy straight out of camera. But that’s just for Video when I use it for photography it’s the GOAT
the Sony A7R5 does not have dual native ISO capability, but it has a feature called Multi-Frame NR that can help to improve image quality in low-light conditions, and also has a feature called "ISO Automatic Minimum SS" that can help to reduce noise in low light situations
I hope there is coming A7s4, 24 megapixels. 😍
Even 16-20MP will be better as a video focused hybrid!
@@ainjuhl4509 yeah I'd be happy with 20mp
@@maruwaanmosesthat will be the best hybrid on the market.
31 mp
Great Video Thanks Mate
Another very important aspect of the A7SIII is the faster read out speed. This drastically improves rolling shutter.
After this last month of using both for Wedding Videography. I’ve noticed that the a7siii Looks Way better straight out of camera
@@Jon_bodhi shit happens... haha

Honestly probably the best comparison video I’ve seen !
This was extremely helpful! Thanks man! Keep up the amazing work!
Lol you rock
Jon amazing content dude much power to you from India.
I have a request can u just make a video on how you colo grade the videos.
It’s only a 1.5x crop not 1.6 which is Canon’s crop. Also, even in crop mode still provides 26mp which is higher than most competitors in general. You can also just shoot in Medium size and not crop so the flexibility is awesome.
Isn't it 1.5 crop giving 30mp. The medium raw will give you the same field of view but your file size will be smaller.

Anything low light is a7siii hands down
@@Jon_bodhi Thank you for response !!
Just wanna say I think you're a talented videographer and photographer
Nice! How does the crop mode compare to the digital zoom on the a7s3?

Thanks for your video brother, very helpful ! What function on the menu allow you to get into crop mode on the A7RV?
Good analogy with the keyboard short cut….& the A7Rv providing functionality that just makes things you do regularly faster & more convenient.
If you know about Sony R series are good for photo ! S series are good for video! And A1 needs to be redo! And Sony sure will integrate latest Ai into it off course
Yep 👍
Great video!
So this rv would replace a a74?
Hey my friend,
I just picked up the A7RV myself. Highly capable camera. I just switched from Canon. Question, there are 3 different file formats for 4k. Which do you use or which is best for full frame 24fps to get the cleanest shot? Thanks man! Great video
Every codec at this cameras looks like the same so... always XACV S 4K 4:2:2 10 Bit
XACV HS - compressed, smaller file sizes
XACV S - Easier to edit than HS unless your computer has decoders for H.265 (HS). Standard format for the past Sony cameras
XACV SI - best quality, largest file sizes, best with fast moving scenes (other formats use pixel binning I believe)
does the a7r v do 240fps slow motion like the a7s iii?
Can the A7RV shoot in 1080p 120fps? If so, does it get hot?
men jajaja the A7RV doesn't get hot at 1080... even in 4k
I'm a video maker who does ads for tiktok, and most, if not all of it is fairly well lit, but i switched from a an A7IV.
i feel like i got tricked by the store tbh, as i told them i needed an upgrade on the A7IV for video.
so far it feels pretty nice looking, but I'm also still a noob lol. wondering if i should go back and exchange for the SIII
lol yeah. A7siii is much better for video. It looks more crisp. Slog feels less grainy. I prefer it for anything video
@@Jon_bodhiwhy don’t you suggest FX3? Is the Slll better than FX3?
Great rewiev!
Thanks!
does the RV have clear image zoom?
I came from a7iii and the. Upgraded to dual a7iv.
But then I have picked up dual a1.
I have a a7r5 coming tomorrow. Should I keep it as third camera for trinity use?
Maybe use it as your travel camera? I’ve been using 2 camera set up for all my gigs. If I was to get a 3rd I would get a dope cinema rig.. lol
Nope Z8 is the best hybrid
I want to try one! Especially with the 85 1.2 🤤
Amazing video Jon, very informative. Thanks!
Now I know I have to wait for A7S IV with, hopefully, at least 20 MPx
Better Comparison would have been the Sony A74 Vs The R5
Man good info ! Just what i was looking for ! Especially love the positive message at the end. This made me an instant subscriber, keep it up man !

4k in the a7r V is not good...
How come you didn’t get the a7IV over the RV?
The stabilization.. hands down. I can shoot everything hand held
A7s3 was much better in shadows. 🤔 I am watching phone screen. Have to watch again in computer.
I think the a7siii looks slightly better.
Great video, informative.

Sounds like you need Sony A1 mark ii
Lol ya. If I had the 💰💰💰
Thanks bro
There is actually a crop in 4k 120
what will I be loosing out on when with A7RV, i know A7S III is low light king but how about other features and factors?
Hi, I am from INDIA 🇮🇳🇮🇳 and I was very impressed after watching your video and a lot of confusion got cleared.
But I need a suggestion from you ---
Can I use SONY A7SIII for web series , short film and cinematography?
Ya for sure. Anything video related. I wouldn’t use it for photography jobs
I would love a camera like A7Siii but also have 40 megapixel then I'm a happy camper.
In my dreams
Excelente vídeo michas gracias, justo tenía la duda si la a7v grababa bien el vídeo en situaciones de poca luz
U can do aps crop on a7s3 as well
that's true.
Great advice

I’m not sure. I think it’s just an engineering problem. Less megapixels make for a better video image it seems. So finding a balance is hard.

Hybrid means you take photos and videos. Lighting is really everything. I would study 3 point lighting on UA-cam

У 7Rv есть двойной iso) В настройках поищи хорошенько.
I’ll check it out!
Do you have any issues with rolling shutter by any chance?
I shoot mostly static shots so I haven’t had a problem.
the Sony A7R5 does not have dual native ISO capability, but it has a feature called Multi-Frame NR that can help to improve image quality in low-light conditions, and also has a feature called "ISO Automatic Minimum SS" that can help to reduce noise in low light situations
Do you know if it’s 800 and 2500 iso?
Unofficial dual natuve ISO just like every camera they've released since the a7siii
How do you turn dual native iso on a7s iii ?
Just set it to 640 or 12800
are you comparing 8 to 4 k?
Yeah, I did the simple test in my office. I honestly didn’t notice that much of a difference but maybe my project settings we’re off
I thought the A7rV have dual native ISO too, or am I wrong? 🤔
I wish!
Yes, at 2500
in conclusion i will buy both instead of getting a hasselblad
These 2 cameras run my business
So the A7iv is DEAD all of a sudden 😰
It’s still good. It’s kind of a jack of all trades master if none.
