How come some mediocre vloggers got their a7s3 for testing, and you just had 2 hours to surf its menu? That's a shame. I value your reviews 10x more than any other. Anyway, good job, and looking forward to see your full review. (As well as ZCAM flagships one, ahah). Cheers!
I like Gordons stuff but we put things in our reviews that not many other channels do, check out our FX9 review to see what a full review looks like! Jake
Maybe, as it is a mirrorless camera instead of a cinema camera, they have targeted youtubers and vloggers that deal mostly with mirrorless cameras. This channel targets more the professional users. But maybe the a7sIII could be targeted at professional users with a broadcast quality.
@@blaspayri it was abundantly clear the vloggers were given sony talking points. if you watched enough you can know the script. 'talk about how hot it is today' I've never heard so many people talking about sweating
WOW, such review video over and over again. Am always wowed by the depth of your reviews... from the tone of voice to the b-rolls to the actual information being dished out, such great work all the time. Kudos. I love, love, love your channel. Cheers.
Bit of a tangent since it seems Sony has started to listen to the end user, I really hope Sony reenabled the touch AF on the Imaging Edge app which was there when it was the PlayMemories app. No idea why they killed it. It was such a handy feature when you’re doing things solo
And not even a full day since I wrote this, their latest app update states they are bringing it back lol. Haven’t tested it again, but I’m assuming it’s there
Nearly 4k, a lot of money .Time you buy a lens, you just aswell by the fx7 ii. Blackmagic Ursa mini pro may be an option too. Blackmagic, seem to be pushing ahead.
The mythical A7S MKIII is finally here, has it been worth the wait? EDIT - I reference a Hawk-Woods D-Tap adapter, this is the correct one - cvp.com/product/hawk-woods_lr-16z_sony_a7s_mk3_z-series_dummy_batt I've also just noticed the video hasn't rendered properly, Premiere is seriously awful, sorry for that!!
@@CVPTV My bad, it is $3500, with state tax probably around $3800 so the price here is around 29% higher and that is kind of expected as we know... Btw good video, detailed overview!
Appreciate your talking about exposure modes. I look to replace a camcorder (for product demos at trade shows) + DSLR (for macros of small products) when I travel. Most important to me: 4 channels of audio recorded internally. 240fps slo mo. Interchangeable lenses. Ive used an older version of the XLR adapter on my 9yo Sony camcorder and it works well. Thanks
26:03 Oh wow! I've always thought the pasm dial was outdated, this flex exposure is great! Wish the dials themselves were clickable to enable this feature.
I personally think that Sony FX6 would be a better option for a videographer. I have been using a couple is Sony a7iii in the last year.....I sorely miss the ND filter, the XLR connections, unlimited recording, the whole form factor of a camcorder..... I’m keeping the A7iii, but definitely buy the FX6 instead of this camera....
Thanks for great 1st look - Please please test to oblivion : Colour science, rolling shutter, rolling shutter, rolling shutter, and colour science - ... did I mention colour science? - The two big banes of otherwise superb workhorse of A7 range for me since release. So really hoping among all the power a7iii packs, skin tones and rolling shutter issues are a thing of that past, and you don't have to try to mimic Canon skin tones anymore. Thanks to all the guys @CVP
Thanks CVP! When you do a full review it will be great to know which lenses are best for the auto-focus, Sony G, Sigma Art or Zeiss Batis. Also footage cut with an FX9 will be useful.
For a dedicated film camera what's the point of great EVF, where is DCI 4K.how often we use exposure compensation button plz explain for a camera like this dedicated film perceptive camera.when we have everything internally what's the point for full HDMI port. Why manufacturers failed to use complete useability of type C port.
Agree DCI would be a good addition. A full size HDMI is much more durable than micro/mini which is why people love it on these smaller cameras. What would you want the USB-C port to do? Jake
I love all the detail in these videos, and especially those charts! You covered every feature I had questions on. I was never happy with previous 8bit Sony cameras , but this camera has me more excited than I've ever been about a camera; "there's no perfect camera," nope, not any more. 422 10bit internal recording, no record limit, IBIS, AND crazy autofocus?! Yes please, oh, also, it just works, and with tons of other features I would use all the time. Question: Is it possible to control or turn off the auto screen off/viewfinder on detection? Panasonic cameras have an on/off switch. Further testing: Raw output and ISO at native, 640 and 16,000. I look forward to more videos, and thank you again for creating such a great video here.
I’m sad that I won’t be able to use my Fujinon Cine lenses. Image quality would decrease to 1080p if used on crop mode. Can you confirm this please? I spent 5000$ on those lenses waiting for this camera .
Can‘t decide what‘s more impressive:
the quality of your videos or the a7Siii...
Plot twist. All their videos are shot with the a7s iii
You guys touched on a lot of important aspects that other reviewers missed, well done!
Glad you liked it!

Yeah I don't know why :( We should be getting a camera to shoot with very soon so keep an eye out for that ;) Thanks for watching, Jake
look at the Gordon Laing review. better than a vlogger review. so positive I was a little suspicious though

please test the camera in a live music lighting scenario, especially with blue lighting to see how it handles it. The A7S2 was terrible for it.

Do you know why price in UK/Europe is so much higher than in US?
£3800(~$4900) vs $3200, that is $1700 so that is more than 50% higher price
Where have you found it for 3200 dollars with VAT? I don't believe the price difference is that high but that is a question for Sony!
@@CVPTV My bad, it is $3500, with state tax probably around $3800
so the price here is around 29% higher and that is kind of expected as we know...
Btw good video, detailed overview!
Bruno B still much more expensive in the UK. Quite weird...
Please next show color comparisons of log and standard profiles to canon (could be the 1dxii or a cinema cam if u don’t have the R5).
Quite interested in seeing the quality of that Kipon ND Adapter mentioned at 20:25 however can't seem to find it online. Can anybody help?
Did you find that kipon nd adapter?

Wats so difference in Sony Venice and Sony a7siii .
You have now exactly 50 000 subscribers. Congratulations on your outstanding work.
Thank you very much! Jake
Killing it as always Jake. Great work mate👏🏿👏🏿

👏🏾 Concise, detailed and informative! I will be watching all your upcoming info as I have already preordered mine here in Sweden. Salivating! 😂🙏🏾
Would love to see how the new creative profiles/styles look with the highlights turned down :)
Since there is no Super 35 mode in 4k, Can you please check if we can use the lens at 7:25 with the "Clear Image Zoom" without vignetting?
I do mention this in the video, this should be possible but it will depend on the image circle of whatever lens you use. Jake

Nice review..cvp is number on videoequipment source in europe ...best..wanted to ask about lcd screen..is it any better from previous a7s
¿Qué formatos usar? ¿Y el Full HD?
Is it cinema style camera .. compare to venice
Seems like there's still no anamorphic mode. Makes me consider the S1H instead.
No I don't believe there is, however this is easily solved with a monitor that can desqueeze so not the end of the world. Jake
very nice video. can you tell me the name of the track from the intro?
How did you feel about the video autofocus on the canon lenses using metabones vs native emount lenses?
Didn't get a chance to test that unfortunately. Will be one of the things we test when we get another test unit! Jake
Wow great in depth review
Thanks! 👍 Jake
I’m sad that I won’t be able to use my Fujinon Cine lenses. Image quality would decrease to 1080p if used on crop mode. Can you confirm this please? I spent 5000$ on those lenses waiting for this camera .
8:13 I need to see the flapping port cover!! Haha!
Awaiting your definitive review. 15:14 s-cinetone is not available: could that be added with firmware update or is it a hardware limitation?
Not sure, hoping its firmware! Let's hope Sony listens!! Jake
DOES A7S III CAN SHOOT DCI 4K EXTERNALLY WITH NINJA V ????
ProRes RAW Recording:4.2K
Uncropped metadata mode 4264 x 2408 at 23.98p, 25p, 29.97p, 50p, 59.94p
Cropped metadata mode 4240 x 2385 at 23.98p, 25p, 29.97p, 50p, 59.94p
ProRes and DNX Recording: 4KUHD (3840x2160p) recording at 23.98p, 25p, 29.97p, 50p, 59.94p
Great review. Very thorough.
can you shoot 1080 240fps with V60 Sd Card?
Sony have confirmed you can do it on SDXC/SDHC U3 cards no problem! So yeah V60 will work to! Jake
so excited - you all awesome
Variable frequency?
great video again
thanks
Pre ordered. :-)
Does it record in 8k? 😜
Great review!
Thanks! Jake
thank you CVP!
hey, no kipon baveyes on cvp site?
We are in the process of getting them online! Jake
@@CVPTV cool, let me know when they are available if you can, definetly interested. great work with the videos = )
Unfortunately, it is not a camera for photography, and I am not interested in video. and can not compete with 5r in terms of ergonomics. best.
a video spec camera without anamorphic with 9.4 million dots EVF 🤔
biggest comedy in 2020😉😉🤔
Easy solution is pickup a Ninja V so you can desqueeze & also shoot 12bit ProRes RAW :D
jeez you brits are getting done over on that price, its a thousand dollars less in australia and even cheaper in u.s.
Yeah yeah blah blah, get out there and make movie or documentary that it going to win some awards and change humanity.
We had access to the camera for 4-6 hours in a room in Uxbridge...
