    Enjoyed your review Jared! I’ve been shooting an a7rii for a year and could never go back a DSLR. I smirked at your comment about your shot w/o looking into the view finder, b/c that’s how I shoot 90% of the time except for in bright sunlight when the back lcd gets washed out. Keeping your eyes on the subject field is great aid for composition, especially candid portraits. You already see the next shot before you take the one currently framed one. It’s a head up display. Plus a lot less straining.

    No camera is perfect for everything. I am loving my Sony A7R3 for most situations and subjects. I upgraded from my A7R2. I am a longtime pro and switched from Canon to Sony last January. Once I got into Sony mirrorless ,I could never go back. I prefer the features of the Sony mirrorless camera over all the high-end Nikon and Canon DSLRs. I am using Sony and Sigma lenses. But the choices here are a personal preference. Nikon and Canon users will do their best to support their allegiance. Cheers and thanks Jared for your efforts !

    • @TomLally
      @TomLally 6 років тому

      "Hyperbole = exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally". That doesn't mean that hyperbole is insincere. It's a form of gratitude. It's like when you say to your mother, "Mom, you're the best". Using your logic you can't ever say that. But if you take your head out of your ass you'll realize that is a very nice thing to say to your mother and that from your perspective you appreciate her. So I suggest you re-orient your head and contemplate the definition of "hyperbole". A common form of appreciation certainly in many cultures around the world.

    Love the review - well balanced between actual shots/footage and technical explanations. I'm in review mode - currently shooting Pentax K3. I shoot mostly wildlife and landscape. K3 is ok, but looking at a system with better AF. I've reviewed the D850 and while it looks tempting, I'm VERY intrigued by this Sony. I want to love the K1 Mark II, but the slower FPS has me looking the other way. If I only knew what the next crop Pentax version would be. No rush to make a decision now, but this review has made me pause even longer on what to do! Damn technology! lol

  • @markwang77

    @sosomelodies659 3 роки тому +2

    It's 2020 and the Sony A7R III is still relevant and in demand. The D850, allthough still great, have aged a lot. Contrast detect af, 155 af points, slapping mirror, 8fps burst, slow video af, big heavy, and dslr's are dying plus the F-mount has been replaced by the Z-mount. Interesting turn of events in my opinion.

    • @ESKATEUK
      @ESKATEUK 2 роки тому

      I’d never choose mirrorless until I have no choice. It just has no character, everything is just overly simple and easy. It takes away from the reward of putting in the effort to get great images. I have a Canon 5D mkii, and have used a canon eos R6, and obviously it’s superior technically, but I miss the size, the weight, and feel of using a DSLR. The sound of the mechanical shutter…

  • @sethcashman1011
    @sethcashman1011 6 років тому

    Watching the review right now - excellent, as always - and up to the point where banding is mentioned. I found banding to be a pretty big problem, as well. Silent mode would be a godsend if anti-flicker weren't disabled and the effects of rolling shutter didn't show up in 25-plus% percent of the shots.

  • @a1m153
    @a1m153 6 років тому

    Hi Jared,
    thank you for this very interesting review. Especially your work with the eye-AF function is very impressive. The eye-AF makes it much easier to take portraits.
    But the quantum leap is the EVF compared to the old mirror clunkers. Now you can see the result (under/overexposing, colours, white balance, even ISO-noise) and make changes instantly before pressing the button. I underestimated this advantage for a long time, but it is so efficient. That's why there is almost no reason anymore for RAW 😉
    What could be improved? As you said: The touch screen does not tilt down all the way and it cannot be tilt to a side. I f you shoot photos in portrait format in very low positions (e. g. marathon runners), so
    tilting to a side would be an advantage. And yes, there should be a possibility to turn on the AF-box always (constantly green or white) in very bright conditions.
    At 31:41 you say, that you must use the left wheel to switch from AF-S to AF-C with the Alpha 9. Therefore I have a little trick for you from a Sony video: ua-cam.com/video/ezeQiKQQOnA/v-deo.html You can customize nearly every button to switch from AF-S to AF-C (plus 9 other settings). Menu 2/8: Custom Key (Shoot.) - select one button - Recall Custom hold 1 - activate Drive Mode - Cont. Shooting Hi.
    In this price range the Sony a7R III is an outstanding work tool. I do not know, what else to buy.

    Personally, I think out of all the innovative "image improvement" innovations that Sony, Canon and Nikon are doing( not sure what Nikion's equivalent is), that Canon's Digital Lens Optimizer is the most useful and best for me ( compared to Sony's pixel shift). DLO can be applied to any raw image after being taken, with moving subjects etc. It doesn't have the limitation of still subjects only combined with tripod use.

    This was an excellent review. You are correct that AF on mirrorless is not as good as a dSLR, but it's now so close that it is no longer a deal breaker. And you're correct that a mirrorless camera plus good glass is just as heavy and bulky. The more good cameras that come out just benefit us all.

  • @PaulApplegate
    @PaulApplegate 6 років тому +11

    I went with the D850. The imaging resource weather sealing video played a part. The lack of lenses compared to the Nikon also was a deciding factor.

    Hi there Jared, I believe the reason for the card slots to be "inverse" is that Sony is obviously, a Japanese brand and as you may very well know, traditionally, Japanese is written in a format called tategaki (縦書き), which is inspired by the traditional Chinese system. In this format, the characters are written in columns going from top to bottom, with columns ordered from right to left. So, if you look at the camera from behind, in a vertical way (some people actually do turn their cameras to insert the cards, not me) one would read from right to left. I don't know if I am making sense, but that is my logic. Saludos desde México amigo!! (Greetings from Mexico buddy!) Oh, by the way I love your reviews as well as your tutorials. Keep up the good work!
