#Sony #a7RIV #Alpha
biggest plus on this camera: it has a lok button
Felix Studios lolol
Lok.
The AF is also sticky Lok on
Well played ... Accept my thumbs up
😀😀
Saw the announcement, came straight here before even visiting Sony’s page.
Ditto
Ditto!
Sony has a page? 😂😂😂
(Okay, yeah. Maybe later!)
Best camera review channel
and ur point ?
The last time I watched you was on a Digital Rev. I knew you left to do your own thing, but it makes me really happy you're still doing you, the same way. Keep it real Kai, much respect from MA, US
Jared had to play with it tethered to a friggin' table, but Kai gets to take it out into a bloody field...
Influencer is the word you're looking for
Can't stand that Fro shit boy. Half his video is comedy central. Korny video bits. Cut your stupid comedy crap and just talk about the photo gear!!
@@chavezding62 Yes and be like the other 10k camera channels lol. He actually is very informative.
Fro don't know shit that's why. Not even a decent photographer.
Lane Shurtleff Polen is pathetic. Loves Nikon. Hates everything else. He’s been predicting the imminent demise of M43 for 10 years now. It’s possible to be too opinionated.
Gotta watch Kai's first impressions before checking out anyone else
Musa Hoosain I like it when he makes dick jokes
Real talk
Damn it I watched Jared Polin first.
That red focusing square is soooooooo much easier to see. I hope they push the red square down via firmware to the rest of the A7 line, I can't stand the little gray one it's impossible to see.
This is an underrated comment!
Knowing Sony's history, they won't do any simple firmware upgrades, forcing people to buy new cameras.
I am astounded by how incredible the high iso performance is, and you even get 61MP as a bonus. Damn this camera will be great for night photographers.
finally more mega pixels, as everybody was complaining about the lack of the previous model :X
Kai is the Jeremy Clarkson of camera reviews
Andrew Bakker if I had a dollar for every time someone said that, I’d have enough money to buy an a7Riv and an a9 plus a 28-70, a 85, a 70-200 and a 200-600.
He himself takes a lot of inspiration from jeremy clarkson
A clown basically..😙
Thank God he's not one of those 2 berks off the current top gear
Kai seems like a cool, fun guy. Jeremy Clarkson is a bell end.
I just couldn’t keep my eyes off the GMT Batman on the jubilee. Beautiful, Kai
I noticed that to rn and went to the comments to see if anyone else noticed it
Talking watches: Kai Wong
me too....always distracting my focus...lol
Kai Man Wong - Hodinkee yeaaaah 😁
Kai looking leet with a lex
Garbage camera. I don't work with anything less than 150mp with a 30fps shutter for my cat photos and tinder selfies
Anthony .O he was joking
@Daniel Chang what?
This made me lol
I feel personally attacked
He's joking people. He doesn't really have a cat..

ok ska titta på det.bra ide´
Dear sony.... JUST RELEASE THE BLOODY A7SIII ALREADY
Sometimes they are just stupid...
they cant, because it will be better than their video cameras
They will go with A9s so they can price it in 4500-5000 range, I think A7s series is dead.
@@ObelixCMM I feel like their crop cameras are getting more attention than the A7s.
Not till we Change the Lens Mount
❤️Love, Sony❤️
Good, now sony has the megapixel stupidity out of the way, they can release an A7S III with 8 megapixel epic low light.
The irony is the 12mp sii was still worse in low light than the 24 mp a7iii. As long as they stack or use bsi tech then the mp doesn't matter, the lowlight will still be better than you need.
@@leecason9468 Not if you live in the northern hemisphere :P
They will either keep the 12Mpx for 4K OR they will boost the megapixel count to about 20 something to shoot 6K. Hope the 8K rumors aren't true though, I would hate to trade super low light performances for useless 8K video.
@@rkan2 wdym? The a73 has had better the light in the a7s II from literally every single competition I've seen on UA-cam
It’s dead, the technology has come too far. It is too limiting for photography and the pure video market is just not there.
I think I will wait for the a7R V.
61 megapixels is just not enough for me 😉
Save money for a mega pc or mac to manage this amount of mpx...
@@JaimeHammett nah 1500 eur should be ok now for that kind of PC
Hasselblad is waving at you
Why not, will wait for a 100 megapixels one...
I'm stuck at 24MP with the A73. Mega pixels don't really matter if you cannot get the sharpness going w/ the right lens. Pano merging is totally the way to go to keep everything sharp in the middle.
Italy is such a beautiful country. I was blessed to study as a young at The University of Florence one summer and explore the country. Thank you Attillio for another great lesson!
This video was great Kai. Real unbiased first impressions as usual and very entertaining content. Keep up the awesome work!
"Does the eye-autofocus work now?", I laughed way too hard on that one! So funny!
at 8:00 the biker waved and I died laughing
zach naehring and then he died so I Laughed even more
please adjust your meds
we are gathered here today for the death of "Zach Naehring" he died laughing at a kid on a bike........it was for the best i guess
Especially the biker seems a bit shy and akward, he was struggle to decide whether he should wave to the camera or not, but he still did. turns out a comedy
YoungBlaze this is my ghost speaking it was sad to go
Lol, Kai always the first recommend UA-cam when a new camera releases lol
it becaused you subscribed to him....
Nice Batman with the jubilee bracelet man. Do a video on your watches already. And yeah.... A7RIV..... megapixels. 😂
The product isn't official until Kai (the man of the people) drops his review.
😂😂😂😂
will kai doing " durability test" by dropping the lens, crash by trucks and etc... like how he did few years ago...😂😂😂
seriously
Wait... camera aside, that tripod. That's wobbly as hell. It's vibrating all over every time you touch it. And this is +600$?
"That many megapixels, that burst rate...it's a bit NAUGHTY really !" LOL !!!!
What lens will you put on, for soo many PIX.....aaam NONE!
FLAP HAPPY.
Love his reviews and have been watching them for 4 years now. Thank you!
I'm here dreaming of having an A7R iii and then the A7R IV comes out. I have a new dream camera.
GamerZoneArmy or a price cut for the iii
I just bought the A7R III and two days later comes this announcement lol
Lol me too, I have it in my amazon shopping cart and I am saving money for it and now this! I dont know if I should wait for a price cut or save longer and buy the a7 IV
I just crave megapixels because that's what I need in a camera. That's why I prefer the riii than the iii
@@juanquispe3494 Lol, thats like the first thing I thought about: What if someone just bought the Riii and boom Riv out of the blue?
Just do a video about your watches already!! Now you have the new BLNR, I used to see you wearing either a 16710/1675 and a speedy on a bloody awesome strap! C'mon Kai?! I know you are a watch geek!
IFKR!!! He is loves horology like us, even I noticed his new 'Jubilee Batman', he was obviosuly teasing us with it on purpose hahaha, I always comment about Kai needing to show us his awesome collection, long overdue since his video on the Leica watch
Please like OP's comment, guys, we need Kai to see this!
Yes you are so right. That Batman was everything I could see in the video. Awesome piece. I recently got the new seadweller and love it very much. I would love to say worth every penny but you know Rolex’s prices these days... and the Batman is Even Harder to get I assume.
No, I refuse calling the new Batman batgirl because of the jubilee bracelet. Nothing feminine about it.
he has fancy watches since DRTV in Hong Kong, I saw some Panerai as well. Therefore I do think they are real, but some voice in my head always whispers 'I'm not sure' ))) would love to see the video on watch collection.
I agree, Kai is definitely one of us. He doesn't only breath photo but also watches. Kai is a really cool guy.
Also wanna a know something about his collection.
Definitely going to upgrade my A7R II to one of these ... in 2-3 years. (Seriously though, it'll still be an amazing camera in 2-3 years).
YES!! FINALLY, there's enough detail to count EVERY imperfection, every hair out of place, every zit, and every pore on everyone's face I take a picture of! {As long as the person isn't moving, and the tripod is still, and there's no other movement, and the shutter speed is super fast, and...WHAT, NO 4k, 60FPS VIDEO?? Sony...How DARE YOU! ...and for > $3000! UGH...PASS!! {Great video review, though, Kai!}
Christ almighty 61 megapixels at 10fps is mental!! What will the engineers at Sony dazzle us with next?
Liquid nitrogen cooling?
Liquid molten SD cards, for storage.
62 megapixels
PlayStation 5..........*checks specs*
........never mind.
Cat Party yeah but some sites are saying you don’t get 14bit raw at that speed. There’s always a catch....
Kai, you rock! Didn't expect it that fast!
Оппа,и вы тут😅Приветствую✋
@@12scarz9 поставь лайк, поднимем, и будем как у Леди Гаги трындеть по-русски
I keep focusing on that Rolex Batman GMT Master II, what a beauty! 🙏🙏
After revisiting this channel in 5 years, This guy sounds like the top gear of cameras.
A7R mark 1 should be going for cheap as chips soon :P
this is what we talking about.
Is it worth switching from a Nikon D7200? A7r (1)
@@MohammadOmarinitialm112 switch to Sony and you will never go back
Don’t buy one tho the shutter shock is terrible.
Mohammad Omar save up and get the ll the l wasnt worth it
That wobbly peak-design tripod tho O.o. 3:00.
...
Ups.... its a manfrotto. :D
I dont understand, did he replace the tripod during the shoot?!
@@llaease seems like that
Sony turns Canon and Nikon top of the line into museum pieces.
Amazing...........
but will it make "better" images?
@@andrewrichards912 That`s in your hands.....
@@brugj03 more MP doesnt make a "better" image, a sharper image capable of bigger enlarges yes but not necessarily a "better"image. Your comment about Nikon and Canon be one museum pieces is pathetic
yourleftnut1 well said. Canon and Nikon’s awesome lens lineup will let you take the best out of focus shot a camera possibly can make.
Meanwhile Sony prefers to....focus, on the important things eh? Pun intended.
brugj03 Spoken like a true armchair photographer
these videos always make me laugh so much lmao
Nice choice of venue; the Balcombe Viaduct on the London Brighton line, an astonishing piece of architecture.
Steve Jones Ouse valley viaduct*
This is a total surprise. Didn't know anything about this. Were there even leaks?
I remember some big sony photographer posting a photo of an owl I think and the caption said something about trying out some new tech.
Some rumors here and there but mostly suspecting siii or r4.
Lol probably an hour before release :p
Wow, Sony did it all this time. Stunning amount of MP, stunning AF, stunning everything else and the price is right. It's a no-brainer.
Great video XD
Wow- amazing camera. Never seen Kai so excited- and an amazing overview by him. Well done. Another stunning piece of engineering by the Masters at Sony. Comment 1000.
1000
At last I can use my APS-C lenses and get more pixels than on an APS-C camera! YES!
Imagine getting attacked by a D-Pad when u have sausage for fingers 🤯
You are a legend. This video is informative enough, shows plenty of hands-on real life examples and yet it’s so dynamic and interesting that I watched the whole thing without noticing…WOW. Definitely a sub
A7rIII sales are going to go through the roof
Nikon and Canon drop their mirrorless cameras, and Sony kicks them both in the nuts! Good job Sony!
Just recently picked up an A7RII and while I'm so pleased with it, it's great to drool over this camera. Love that Sony just continually ups the ante instead of resting on their laurels.
Once again the best camera reviewer on UA-cam makes me rethink my budget. I think I need it.
I’m glad Sony invites you. I’d rather see your video than their advertisement
For sale, Canon 6D, 5D-III, 5D-IV, 1DxII with a huge assortment of lenses, strobes, etc... :D
I do need some canon glass. 👀👀👀 When you're ready.
I gladly take it! For what I’m doing dslr are perfects and I don‘t need all the fancy mirrorless stuff. Can’t wait to get the old pro dslr stuff when everybody is switching to mirrorless.
Robert Schneider buy a canon 1d mark ii thank me later
"He's a legend! He's a legend iiiin his house" 🤣🤣
legend
All the other youtubers had to play with it locked to a table at the press event. I love how Sony gave you one to take out and about!
Photography for the web is the trend nowadays. Who needs this beast if cellphone photos are just right for the web. This is the reason why I mothballed my Canon SLRs and Nikon DSLRs. My interest now is focused in cellphone photo technology.
This is the one I've been waiting for!
I guess there wont be a Sony a7sIII coming out now?
I think there's like 2 cameras left registered for release, so if all goes good it should be out before October maybe in sept.
Do you still think that now? Haha
That didn’t age well
The a7siii was kinda late to the party but it's here now 😂
@@detectivejonesw Late to the party yet still one of a kind.
You are Digital Rev. NEVER GIVE UP WE NEED YOU. I’ve watched every episode. Catching up on this one.
Loved the breakdown on this one! Looking forward to all the improvements this brings to the way the bodies feel for this next generation of Alpha cameras!
That guy waving at 8:01 :D
I would prolly have done something similar
I used to curse having to edit 50MP files from my 5Ds! Some impressive features on this, especially eye AF in video mode but I think I'll be sticking to my A7III and not having to upgrade my MacBook and hard drives haha!
An A7 III is enough for anything
Then it isn't for you. I too love my a7iii, but I could definitely see myself getting this when it gets cheaper in the next couple years as it would be perfect for landscapes.
@@leecason9468 yeah definitely, I'll probably get hands on with one some point soon, I'm interested to give it a whirl for sure 👍🏼
@@CraigPitts obviously using it as a wedding camera when taking like 1000 images total is a no go, but for very planned nature or studio shots it will be perfect.
@@leecason9468 you only take a 1000 photos a wedding?... man I must be overshooting! lol I average 2500 a wedding with two bodies. Having two 61mp bodies would be insaaaaaane with 2500 photos. You'd probably need a new harddrive per job at that point lol
The beat review as usual! This camera is so OP! 🙏
Just sold my entry level mirrorless to upgrade to this. Started with 2 years on the canon EOS RP. Didn't know a thing about photography and wanted to learn. This whole time all of my friends have been on sony, and even with the exact same settings, same shot, literally hanging out together, the sony shots just looked so crisp. I've conformed. I actually understand cameras now and know what i'm looking for, and it seems sony knows what I want in a rig. hahaha im stoked!
I love having those HUGE buttons and wheels so they are easier to randomly press with the palm of your hand!
Jaredpolin just posting on insta .. and kai on YT
This is why Kai reigns supreme

Polin in annoying as hell . Stopped watching him in 2015
Jared Polin, not a fan.
Except Kai gets an untethered A7RIV to play with.
Something rarely spoken of is the high megapixel cameras require the finest glass possible and most people can't afford the top lenses. Invest in glass not bodies.
What makes you different..is your sense of humour...never loose that my friend..this is your trade mark!
Kai this camera is a beast. Even my Red is a little bit nervous!
Hope Sony will do something similar impressive with its A7Siii
Jesus christ what did you record this video with and how did you grade it? It's literally beautiful!
Edit: I mean just look at that dynamic range!
A6400
AWESOME! Philip Bloom cameo at the end there.
Love me a deeper grip with a good set of flaps.
U just got the brand new rolex Batman u real bastared. Omg
That was the only thing I noticed, far more rare than the A7RIV
15:08 🤣🤣🤣
“I hope they’re not epileptic”
Gavin Hoey made a video on this exact spot many years ago :) Still miss that lovely man who was the main reason for most of my inspiration on photography
Unless this was hugely sponsored, I can tell you really loved it! Which makes me want to buy it now. 👍🏻
Yaa you compete with Tony & Chelsea for releasing this video 😀
Please show us the low light or dark conditions performance.
Tony and Chelsea are creepy
@@cellardoor7500 but Chelsea is sexy!
Rodney Reeves to each his own...but she’s not at all to me.
This makes me wonder how the A9ii will be. They basically covered all the issues on the A7Riii somehow and that was a really good camera as is. Also I wish you did a low light test.... Im wondering how it will do with noise
I was never happy with the A7R3 autofocus.
Kai!! Rocked it!!! Plus seeing that Batman Rolex was a treat.
Kai's fashion sense is so sick! The fact that he's a great photographer and videographer is a plus! Haha
“Does the eye AF work now?” LOL
Wow amazing location! And thanks for the information as always.
does anyone know where this location is
Great video Kai. Like the way you bring humour and positive vibes to your videos.
That's for the review Kai, we appreciate you.
First scene in the video reminded me of a bug's life
6:31 Thats like shooting a bolt action Springfield vs full auto AK-47, lol
Do I spy out of the corner of my little eye, a Rolex GMT Batman? Ballin.
That train coming in for the opening shot was just perfect
Shot at 240mp. Published on Instagram... _bozhe moi._ No wonder we need 61 mp cameras with 16x pixel shift.
Nice vid - great cam! Liked the shots under the bridge - shame that guy with the baseball cap kept getting in the way 😋.
do you know where this location is?
@@KeepIttiller Not 100% sure (don't think Kai mentions it in the vid?), but my best guess is Chappell Viaduct in Essex (UK).
Bit more research - possibly Balcombe Viaduct in Sussex, UK? Hopefully, someone will be able to confirm?
Thank you man I just found it
Remember Kai roasting the first A7 in 2013? Well now this beast is roasting him and avenging his Sony grand-grand-father!
PJB. Is he referring to Jonny Bairstow? Never thought he’d be a legend in his own house.
And does that eye AF work now? 😂😂
That’s so sticky like poo on porcelain :)
"does the eye af works now?" - kai, 2019
i consider Sony as a tech titan
I would love to see a video where you in detail explains how you plan your videos, from idea to planning what to say, and what shots to get? Please do what one day 👌🏻🙏🏼
nice watch bro
Over kill for instagram... nah I see a stack of people getting this just for that.. you know who you are... lol
Worryingly... You are right. All they are going to get is even more compression for their money!
The only review you need!
OK WHAT ABOUT THE video Footage ? Which DSLR on the market right now is good to shoot Video
Could this be the best camera ever made?¿. My Nikon D800e was a huuuge disappointment.... My old broken d300 was great. So. Hope one day I can switch to Sony.
Sony update your APS-C line already! Ughhh. Was hoping for a A7000.
How many apsc lenses has Sony released in the past 2 years ???
why do you even care for APSC when you can buy A7 !'s and II's for super cheap?
Have you considered switiching to Fuji, they cater well for apsc users.
What do you need that for
I also am a sad (but proud) apsc user.
9:10 The voice of Smeagol searching for his precioussssss!
LMFAO! Kai has the best review videos on UA-cam.
Lots of comedy and great reviews mixed together.
