    Whew.........LONG one boys, get your snacks ready!
    Clarification:
    1. When talking about using the Sigma 35mm f/1.4 with MC-11 adapter I said "e mount", I meant "EF Mount"
    2. The 4k is a downsample of 6k
    3. There was something else, i'm sure someone will correct me in the comments lmao. Mistakes guys

    Hey, shortly after viewing this, 7 months ago, I bought an A7iii, mostly for video, but I had your same experience with still photography with it: just blown away. Best stills camera I've used to date by far.

      Shinobihiden ty finally someone that sees an importance in equipment. I can't stand it when people say it's not about the gear. You can film on a phone, I don't need this gear/camera etc. That's not true. Yes you do need the gear. Otherwise why did you purchase it?

    • @Levi_Allen
      @Levi_Allen 6 років тому +9

      Maybe you missed the part where I didn’t say crisp. I’m referencing the framing and color tones. I certainly attribute his taste to him more than the camera he shot it with. Anyone making camera excuses preventing from great images in 2018 has missed the boat.

    I've been a Panasonic user since 2011 (G3 & G7) buuut have really been considering switching to A7iii cause of the reliable autofocus, the full sensor and the fact that I mainly do events photography & videography. This vid is gonna be hugely helpful in making the right decision!

    I'm in the process of switching from the GH5 to the A7iii also, quite comforting to hear your experience. I filmed a load of great footage from the GH5, in good light it's exceptional.
    I don't film much in slow mo so that's not an issue but auto focus and low light is so I'm very happy I came across your video.
    Well done mate, clear, concise information, well presented and very nicely filmed.
    Thank you.

    I’ve shot Panasonic for years, finally went over to the dark side, never been happier. I knew you’d say you loved s35 mode - I’ve got it programmed to the OK button since I use it constantly. As far as colors go - I find they’re virtually perfect SOOC (I shoot Cine2), and like you say, better than the GH5. Can’t wait for the 24mm f/1.4 to drop. Great review!

    Thanks for this review. You're one of the least biased reviewers out there and are really honest in your personal user experience as opposed to many reviewers who only seem to defend 'their team' and bash others. For me personally I am holding on to my gh5 until the specs on the Panasonic S1 are revealed because I mainly shoot with anamorphic lenses and depend on a 4:3 sensor mode. That being said the Sony looks pretty good.

    Have you tried the clear image zoom feature? IF you like super 35 mode you should try clear image zoom. Basically you can digitally zoom while retaining the same quality of footage. You can make prime lenses a ct like a "zoom" or a zoom lens get even more extra reach with this feature. Combine super 35 mode and clear image zoom, you can cover some crazy distances in pinch. One con that I know is that clear image zoom doesn't work in 120fps. Try hotkeying and use the clear image zoom feature!

    Great video. This review and a few others have helped me decide that the a7iii is the camera for me. My priorities are autofocus, low light, and good quality in both still photography and video. The Super 35 feature is something I wasn't aware of in my research so far, and that sounds like a fantastic feature! You also provide a clear view of the camera's drawbacks (slow motion at 1080), which is a slight disappointment, but not a dealbreaker for me. I also like your fair-mindedness and calm approach. You've earned a subscribe! Thank you.

    I agree with your assessment between both cameras. I personally own the GH5 and the Sony A7riii. I used Nikon for years and went to the A7riii because I wanted one camera that could do it all despite the slight quality loss in terms of slo-mo. Like you said, you’ll take a hit with any camera. There’s so many amazing options out there you really just have to get what best suits your needs such as autofocus etc and feels the best to use.
    To me the slo-mo footage you got looks really good but I’d have to see a side by side to know any better in comparison to what would look best. If I pay attention in movies I can see artifacts a lot. I’m usually so focused on the story part of movie/videos that I honestly don’t care about slight color shifts etc. The shots you got were really good mainly due to your focus on composition, story telling and really grabbed my attention.

    I left Canon for the Sony A7III and never never regret it once.
    I just shot over 200 pics and EVERY one was in focus. Incredible.
    I would have lost 35% with my old Canon 5D III.
    I bet that the A7SIII will address the fast frame rates.
    MY only downside is the no articulating screen. GRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

    I just picked up the a7iii along with the 50mm 1.8 (it was a good bundle deal) and I love the A7iii. I've also picked up the Sigma 35mm 1.4 which will arrive in the next few days. Can't wait to test it out. Great Video!!

    Oh man.....you sent me down a dark path! I'm coming from a G85 with Sigma 18-35mm and Metabones Speed Booster. I just bought the lens and adapter a couple of months ago...but am realizing I can only use it for my video projects. I feel like going this route, I'd be able to use the a7iii for my video projects, but also be able to take it out for pictures on trips, and of the kids due to the quick autofocus. Thanks for this great review!
