In this video, we’ll answer this question: is the Sony A7iii still worth it in 2023? I’ve been using the Sony A7iii for over 3 years as my main camera and have really put it through its paces. And I have to say I really love the Sony A7iii but this camera also has its bad sides.
So this is my honest Sony A7iii review and by the end of the video you will find out: Should you buy the Sony A7iii in 2023?
If you are looking for a Sony camera for beginners, this might be the one for you. It's a great budget Sony camera that offers superb quality. But there are definitely strong competitors out there, the Sony A7iii vs A7IV is for example a common comparison. However, after so many years the Sony A7iii is still one of the most popular cameras for beginners in 2023. And with good reason, this is a great budget mirrorless camera.

God, how much pressure is put on people to have the best cameras, the best lenses, flashes. I have owned this body for the last two years with a set of Tamron lenses 28-75 f.2.8, 70-180 f2.8 and a Samyang 18mm f 2.8 and I can freely to say that this camera will probably be one of the best bodies for the money invested for a long time. Well, I personally know people who work with cameras that are 10 or even more years old and they take amazing photos. I completely agree that new technologies bring reliefs, but certainly your eye and sense of photography itself and the frame are something that will distinguish yours from others and not the camera.
Couldn't agree with this more! 👍👍
Damn Right🎉 So that why I sold Sony A7IV
I am considering the iPhone 14 pro max over this camera because it does better videos
@@sunmoonstar124 Not true actually, but it does have better inbuilt microphone probably.
@@sunmoonstar124 Yeah, better until the sun goes down. LOL.
I have the SONY A7II, the A7III and the A7IV. Believe me when I say even the A7II for photography is as good as the later models if you are prepared to take your time to nail the focus. The sensor is beyond amazing when it comes to dynamic range.
To be honest, the A7III is more than worth it in 2023 and times to come.
Don’t fall for the idea of having latest and greatest models or features. Most of us don’t need them.
Photography means “To paint with light” and so long as you can master ISO, APERTURE, SHUTTER SPEED & WHITE BALANCE you can create magic.
Facts!
Facts 2nd
Agree about the A7III, unfortunately the A7II’s sensor is not on par with the A7III or the Z5 or Z6 from Nikon. High ISO and dynamic range are significantly weaker than the newer models. Does it matter? Maybe not, images look amazing. But given a choice, I’d probably recommend the A7III if your budget allows.
Preach.
@@marike1100 The difference is 14EV (ii) vs 15ev (iii) in DR, to say significantly weaker is a bit of a stretch. As for high ISO, unless you shoot in 6400+ very often it is not an issue for most people, not to mention with the advent of AI most noise can be removed at the click of a button. Does it matter to most people? probably not. Not saying a7iii is not a better camera. If your budget allows go for it. But if you're stuck with an older camera the difference is not as big as you might think.
I shoot commercial still shots and reels for small business with the A7ii to this day. Sure, some things can be simplified with the iii, but it’s truly minor with tech being so good in general these ages. It’s the glass that would change everything
It’s definitely a great camera for both photos and video for casual and professional work! It all about the lenses nowadays! And storytelling/skills!
I’ve just bought one. As an upgrade from an apsc dslr, it’s a huge leap. For me, the extras of the a7iv didn’t justify pushing my budget even higher, I’d rather put that money towards lenses.
I'd say you made a good decision! 👍
@cagrerdogan1775 same question
I'm in that spot right now. I have a canon t6 and this is probably the best for the money I've seen
@@maxbenson9982 100% get it. work around the messy menu and you have a professional 24mp full frame camera that was at one point one of the most popular wedding bodies (a lot of my friend's used to use the a7 iii but now have upgraded to the a7iv, they still have their a7 iii as a secondary)
Thank you so much Stijn for the useful and informative tutorial! God bless and good luck!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I've had the mark III since it came out. I was considering upgrading but decided against it since I updated the firmware to 4.01. The new firmware update modernizes connectivity and autofocus to include animal AF which I appreciate. It is my rigged out photo studio queen with, cage, monitor, grips, flash trigger and the big Sigma 105 mm; it doesn't travel anymore.
Will it shoots LOG vide ? if yes, how much bitc depth?
Hi there! I appreciate your videos, they are just great! How would you compare this Sony or the Sony R as you mention VS the Fujifilm X100VI. Please, let me know if you can! Many greetings from Germany!
Crisp and clear review, well done mate
Much appreciated!
Thank you! This video solidified me getting this camera! I appreciate you pointing the good and bad points
Glad you liked the video! 👍
incredible that you made a video about whether a camera is worth buying in 2024 all the way back in December of 2022!
Loool
Wow, great video! I'm upgrading from a canon t6i and have been contemplating on which model to get. I hadn't considered this one (i was looking at the a7rV but might look at this one and splurge more on lenses) Your video was very informative! Thank you!
Glad to hear you found the video helpful! 😄
I hardly ever comment on youtube videos, and specially not on camera reviews, but for this one I'll type a bit because the video and the camera deserve it.
The a7III was a game changer, it was the probably the camera that changed not just mirrorless, but all cameras forever. Do you remember when it came out and everyone thought that mirrorless was just a thing introduced to make DSLRs smaller? This proved everyone wrong, by miles. I bought it in late 2018 and never could, and still can't, justify buying another one. The form factor, the weight, the sensor's amazing capability in any kind of scenario, the e-mount lens options and SO MANY other things. At what was considered full frame entry level pricing we got a9 autofocus; 2 card slots (in which sony decided to make the first slot slot 2 and the second slot the first and make sure they are inserted with the pins facing the wrong direction - but nothing else had them, so whatever); the ISO capability that was only surpassed by the a7s line and it was by what, 1 stop? It's "only" capable of 4k video at a top FPS of 30 but it is 6k downrezed; 1080p at 120fps the bitrate could be better, sure, if you bought an APS-C camera like the X-t3, at the time; 24mp is and will continue to be the optimal resolution, you can see no difference in resolution against the IV that has 33mp; I've had Zeiss 1.8s, 1.4s, sigma 1.4s in 35, 50 and 85, samyang 85 (my favorite e-mount lens of all time) and 35 1.4s; Gs and GMasters at 2.8 and finally Tamrons in 2.8 which is what I use now for size and image quality.
Up to this day, if you compare it to the Z6II the autofocus is still better and the sensor is still the same, the R6 just overheats and the antialiasing coating destroys the resolution that is lower to begin with.
I was always a specs nerd in cameras and there is no logical reason to change an a7III unless it breaks, you only change it if you want it for reasons that are not logical for photography or if you want more FPS, bits and bitrates in video.
I still remember that there was so little to say that people would complain about their pinky sticking out or the screen not flipping, because other than that it had everyone and everything beat at full frame at that price and double that.
Every single photographer and videographer should be grateful that this camera was made, regardless of the brand they shoot with. It's the one that forced other companies to start keeping up and canon managed to keep up with it with the r6 what, 3 years later? And still the resolution and autofocus are worse, and i'm not even touching the whole subject of limiting the record times or it would set on fire.
Also, let's give a big clap to Sony for making a camera that, for me, was able to do 5 shoots, in 2 days, without charging with 1000 to 1200 photos per shoot and finishing up with 8% battery left. I also have 2 batteries, those 5 shoots were to finally have the feeling of asking a client to wait a second for me to change the second battery that I bought just to take space in my bag, because I never used it.
Again, I would love to buy an a7IV without feeling stupid.
Summing it up, the only thing that triggers me about the A7III is the fact that I look at newer cameras and get mad because I cant justify buying them, I just bought a bunch of analog cameras in every shape, size and format instead. The only other fault I can think of is feeling too clinical, so more than 4 years later it feels too good, if that makes any sense. Hope this helps (?) =)
Quick edit: people complained about sony colors, but when blind tested sony won every single time, which at least made it funnier to see.
This is probably the nicest and most elaborate love letter to the Sony a7iii, love it!! 😄 🙌
Is it a good upgrade from the Olympus omd em5 ii?? Especially if I have two lenses for the Olympus already? I have a Panasonic f1.7 prime lens & 7-14mm 😊ultra wide zoom lens for it
This is a great video, thanks!
Glad you liked it! Thanks!
I've used My A7iii sence 2018, and recently got the bigger brother A7iv.. And I still in love with the A7iii and still performing very well.. Such a great gear and one of the best decisions I choose in my life..!🥀
2018? That was my one regret with the A7iii: not getting it in 2018 but in 2022. I think its stil viable... i mean if one cant get good results with it then i dont know...
I got a7iii new one two days ago bc i have seen how this camera works so as a beginner did i choose the right one? and for videos & pictures which lens you recommend it to me pls.
Thank you
Best regards
Do you think I should upgrade from nikon D3300 to this, to get me back to using camera, i'm currently shooting only with my phone? Its iPhone 14PM, and I love its camera!
Amazing review! Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
Im mostly do weddings. Right now I'm with 6d mark II and 5d mark III. with 70-200mmon one and 24 mmon otherone. Carrying them all day long. I tried this a7III from friend and was blown away. Now im cconsidering selling all my canon stauff and switch to team sony.
how did it go, thinking the same thing
Great video 🙌🏻.
Do you think that the Sony zve10 is a good camera for photography for someone that is just starting, I’m not taking pictures to make money, just for personal use .
What would you recommend.
Thank you for your help 🙏
I think the ZV E 10 is not so much aimed towards photography. You can look at the a6 series perhaps!
Great review! I kept my a7iii when I bought the A7iv and it is still a really great camera. A fantastic backup as well if you need one. I like keeping different lens on the two bodies which works great and saves changing lens.
Thanks Bill! Yea always nice and comfortable to have two camera bodies! 👍
Which lens are u using
@@dontmissit6480 most of the time I have the 24-105 on the A7iv, and my 100-400 on the a73.
@@WilliamAbbate hi, is it true that the sony a71v camera overheats 10 minutes after shooting in 4k? Thank you
@@motive2283 mine has never overheated. I set the temp to high as soon as I got it. So far I have used it up to about 40 minutes in summer heat.
Hi, I'm looking to buy a new camera for astrophotography. I'm an absolute beginner, would you recommend this or the canon r7
Thanks for sharing this! I just thought about this today, because I will have to upgrade to a bigger camera.
Also, I'm really impressed by your english pronunciation! What did you do to be that good at talking english? (I'm also from Germany)
Ha! Thank you! I watched a lot of The Simpsons and movies when I was a kid 😅 I'm actually Belgian but living in Germany 👍
Great camera. Thanks for the analysis
Glad you liked it 🙌
Thank you for the detailed review. Very helpful and you can see the love and hard work you put into this video! 🤍
I bought my 7iii two years ago and it was a switch from the 77ii and the differences are huge! I love this device and hooked up with Zeiss lenses this thing gets evil 😍
Oh yea I bet! 😄
I do like my a7iii and it’s treated me so well for the 4 years I’ve owned it! Instead of dumping money into the latest and greatest body I have built a very strong lens collection which is more important in my opinion!
Interested to hear more about some good lenses for A7III, Ijust bought one
Is it recommended for a beginner photographer who’s planning for a long time starting camera? (Not going to upgrade in the few coming years)
Great Review!!! What lens are you using in your studio for this TH-cam Review?
Thanks a lot Alejandro, I'm glad you enjoyed it! 👍 I am using a Sony 14mm GM for these videos. If you're interested to see my studio setup, I made a video about a little while back: th-cam.com/video/xkj-lBNqwg0/w-d-xo.html
The A7iii is an excellent camera for a lot of people. The only true upgrade is the A7RV. If you can afford it then stay with the a7iii with a solid lens. Don't get the A7iv, but save on lenses or A7RV.
I have this body as my first professional camera. I love this camera. Everything about it.
Just bought one today for only 800$ with the 28-70. Really excited for it to show up on Monday. Heard great things and my previous camera was a Canon T7 and the biggest thing that I can’t wait to use is the 10fps shooting and the better lowlight photography.
Where did you buy it ? I’m looking for one !
A7 III je stále skvělý fotoaparát, ve spojení s talentovaným fotografem. Dobrý fotograf dokáže pozvednout fotografii pořád lépe, než Ai v nových fotoaparátech. Ano, nové fotoaparáty jsou skvělé, ale není třeba A7 III zahazovat. A noví majitelé určitě ocení současnouu příznivou cenu. U mne zůstává stále srdeční záležitostí a společníkem na výlety i když mám i A7R V ❤
Thank you so much for sharing your experience.....
Glad you enjoyed the vid!
Ive got one just under 1.4k with the f1.8 50mm, its awesome but one thing to consider when moving full frame that I didnt is that lens prices also seem to double. Also if youre going the new route I found that often the a7c is the same price as the regular a7iii and personally I'd go with that as it has slightly updated features compared to the regular one also a flip screen.
Where did you get it from for that price?
Hey dear can I know where you get it at that price.
For photography it's not as good as the A7iii. If one is ok with the slightly older AF algorithms (keep in mind that when this was released it was best in its class), the more robust shutter of the a7iii works better. A7C is limited to EFCS as Sony only put in half a shutter. This means that if you shoot primes in broad daylight, any shutter speed faster than 1/1600 will start to degrade your cut the bokeh.
got mine for 1k and its great
I got one for $470 with shutter count of 2,597 with a lense and tripod and carry bag with 2x 64gb memory sticks
EDIT: it was off of a man who was selling affects of his late wife, I was as respectful as possible when handling the camera and still handle it better than any of my other cameras due to the background of it
Thankyou sir... love from India ❣️
For photography most cameras manufactured within the last 10 years or even longer (5d mkii for instance) are more than good enough for most people. however most new developments in cameras are in the video department (eg: 4k 60fps) where the older cameras are falling short.
Yes definitely true with regard to the video capabilities improving very fast lately. But also focusing features, noise handling, etc. has improved a lot!
Great review. It's not perfect but I love it, love it, love it!!!!!
Thanks so much!
Would you choose this or the newer alpha 7 IV
I have owned it since 2019. I love it… my only complaint is the screen…
I’ve paired mine only with lightweight lenses:
- tamron 17/28 2.8
- sony g 24/105 4
- sigma 100-400
- zeiss 35 2.8
- sony 50 1.8
- sony 85 1.8
Thats a nicr selection of lenses! 👌
How about shutter failure? I have a concern about this, what is the cause of shutter failure?, and is there any way to prevent shutter failure?
BTW thanks for nice video!
Recently bought the A7R III second hand (1350 euro) because, nice affordable. Not a hair on my head thought for a moment about the A7 III and not a moment I regret my choice.
Altough about the flipscreen I agree. Tip, take a small pocket mirror with you for low vertical shots.
Still rocking my A7iii since my wife gifted it to me in 2019 and it’s been a work horse! Always paired it with Tamron lenses and never looked back. I’m sure Sony lenses are great, but they’re never in our budget. Done lots of real estate photography, engagement shoots, and family vlogs with no complaints. I did however end up breaking the cover over the mic input, but I think that’s more user error than anything lol.
Oh those side input covers... Actually they are something I didn't mention in this video, but Sony couldn't have made them more annoying to open 😅 So I'm sure it's not entirely user error...
Hi! I’ve been looking at third party lenses such as tamron as they’re cheaper like u said. But does the auto focus work well with the third party lenses? I’ve heard people complaining about it so I’d just like to hear your POV
@@OfficialSirigu I only have experience with Zeiss and Sigma as far as third party lenses go on my Sony a7iii and they were working just fine. I would check some reviews specifically about the lens you're interested in and see what they say about the auto focus. I'm sure it differs from each brand and model.
I just posted a video about the Sony 24-105 G lens, which I think is a great affordable option. Go check it out if you're interested! 🙌
@@OfficialSirigu I haven’t had any issues with both my Tamron lenses (17-28 2.8 & 28-75 2.8) and the auto focus has been great for me, but it is really depending on what you’re using them for. I’ve never used a g-master lens, but everything I saw when I was researching the differences in auto focus between the two showed the tamron lenses keeping up pretty well, which is what lead me to going with tamron.
@@TheTorinos Thanks! I'll look into the Tamron, Zeiss and Sigma lenses and see. I'm pretty new to photography and I want to get into dog photography as I spend a whole lot of time with my dog and I would need to have a lens that was capable to have fast autofocus to manage to get a sharp photo of him as he sits still for just a few seconds at a time!
Great video!
I've been thinking about one for a while, with the menu honestly being one of the largest turn-offs for me as a long term canon user. I heard you can't even use the A7III's touch screen to get through the clunky menu??
But good to know you think after the initial setup it isn't too much of a killer!
Thanks again for the great content :)
I mainly just use the touch functionality for focusing. I have used a Canon R5 for a few times and honestly, coming from Sony, I found that menu complicated haha! So I really think it's a matter of habit.
The A7iii when setup properly will not need diving into menus. There's more than enough custom buttons and quick menu options imo. The menu does take time to get used to, but so does any and every system.
Like most camera manufacturers, as new models are released the previous models in the same category fall in price. Sony knows how to market their products better than most. I don't mind hanging back several years in tech advancements, most of which are video related. Call me old fashioned but I still love still photography and don't need my big boy camera to be a video camera too. There are a lot of us still out here perfectly happy with older camera bodies. My A7iii has performed flawlessly. I probably won't buy a new camera for 5+ years. Spend your money on the best glass you can afford and learn the craft. That should be a rewarding experience you'll have to look back on when you're old and grey like me.
I recently found a used A 7III at a really great deal and was debating on buying it, and this video really, truly helped me with that. Thank you so much!! Coming from an older Sony a65 APSC camera, I'm really looking forward to how this will turn out :D
how did it turn out
Would you consider doing a comparison of the Sony a7iii to the Canon EOS R8?
i also have an a7iii already used around less than 2 years, and i started to see some hot?stuck pixel on the sensor, and have no idea how to fix or the cost to fix if its possible
very clear explanation.
Thanks! 🙌
Thanks for this video!
I consider buying this camera for landscape photography (moved from crop), which other mirror less cameras should I consider as well?
The a7iii is still a great choice for photographers in 2023. I've got an a7IV and two a7iii bodies and setting aside video, the older a7iii tracks & focuses very well and delivers great images and is a better value (cost vs. performance), especially used for eleven or twelve hundred dollars. With tax a new a7IV will set you back close to $2700 or $1600 more than an used a7iii leaving enough to buy some serious glass!
Yep totally agree Tom! A second hand a7iii is basically a no brainer if you're looking for a decent Sony camera
how does the a7iii stack up for videos ?
@SOLEAUX Excellent 4K at 24 or 30 fps. Good 1080 at 60 or 120 fps. Excellent colors out of camera. Video limitations would apply to more advanced video experts wanting the capability to do serious color grading because that requires 3 thimgs: 1. Expert skills editing and color grading with Premier Pro or DaVivci Resolve. 2. High power computer with 32 GB RAM, 11th plus generation Intel i7 or i9 and a pricy nVidia GPU (3060 ti or better). 3. A camera with 10 bit video output. If you don't have those skills and gear the 8 bit video from the a73 will deliver quality video.
@@tomirwinphoto thank you!
Is the A7iii good for video too?
professional AFFORDABLE camera = my 2 months salary
It is equal to my yearly salary
Buy used and wait for big sales or new releases when everyone else is trying to upgrade.
Don't disclose your salary 😊
Thank you very much for this video! I currently have the Sony alpha 5100 for already 6 or 7 years and looking at a new camera! But how do you know if you buy it second hand if there is guarantee? I find that scary, buying second hand cameras
Glad it was helpful! Yes there is always some risk when buying second hand... 🤷♂️
Hi! can you help me, how about the SONY
Cámara A7III ILCE-7M3K, thanks
A year ago i got robbed and i lost all my photography equipment, i had a nikon D7500 and a D5600, a few lenses, flashes and other stuff. Since then i been working with another D5600 and a Sigma 17-50mm f2.8 (becouse of my budget). This week i'll get a Sony A7III and i'm very excited of make this jump to fullframe, this video makes me want to have it on my hands allready and go out for testing it.
Sorry for my bad English!

Hi Martin, sorry to hear that your gear got stolen, that sounds like a nightmare! But I'm glad for you that you are getting the Sony A7III, you will love it for sure!! 🙌
Hey man! I’m torn between this and A7R iii. I am a landscape and wildlife photographer and night sky, but the price difference between the iii and Riii is still a bit. Any help would be greatly apprecoated😊
Hi, I am a big fan of your TH-cam video. I want to ask this question, which I’m struggling to figure out. I want a camera that I will use mainly for recording myself going to the gym and doing gym exercises and somewhat being a gym influencer. I am not really into taking photos, so a decent photo quality is fine for me. I want to know your opinion about these cameras and which would be the most suitable for me or if any better camera would match my style. Thank you, and I would hope you reply to my message.
- Sony ZV E1
- Sony A6700
- Sony A7 CII
- Song A7 IV
(My budget is around 2500 dollars)
I just upgraded to the A7iii from an a6400 and I can say for certain that this Camera is a huge upgrade from apsc and it will be relevant for many years to come. so if you're on the fence about getting it then let me be the one to tell you to go ahead and GET THIS CAMERA.
Currently have the a6400 and looking to upgrade as well. Any specific lens you’d recommend?
@Molifemoprosperity lens for the a6400? I say the best ones are the Sigma 16mm f1.4 and Sigma 30mm f1.4 and the Tamron 17-70mm f2.8. And for the a7iii the Sony FE 85mm 1.4 for portraits, Sony GM 24-70mm f2.8, the 35mm f1.4 and the Tamron 150-600mm f5-6.3
@@jft2nd Thank you bro🙏🏿
I've got the A7iv and it's clearly the superior camera. But you have to realize that the end product is not going to be significantly better over the A7III. Hell, I have a Nikon D600 from a dozen years ago and that still takes great pictures too. The advantages of the newer cameras is significant, but if you know what you're doing, you'll get great pics with an older camera anyway. And the savings mean you can buy better glass which is the most important part anyway..
your reviewing game is high class #respect
Thank you!
What's a decent shutter count for a used? Considering getting a second body. Currently have the A7Riii
Well, theoretically the a7iii has a 200k shutter life. Even though I don't think this is officially confirmed. Nevertheless, I don't think you should really care about it too much. If a camera reaches its "max shutter life", it's not suddenly going to stop working. But it's a good metric to see how much a camera has already been used.
Haven’t upgraded since 2013. I’m ready!
Nice! 👍
good lesson give 2 me tq sir......
3:20 maybe it has wi fi connections with your phone so you can chek the frame positions
Is this a good camera for a beginner ? If so what's a good lense to start with
Nice! You hit the nail all the + & -. Sold my 2nd hand oly setup and find more quality of shooting with this camera and lenses without gimmicks. It seems a74 is bestsellers today so there will be strong ecosystem to make 2nd hand deals too (:
Yes totally! The a7iv is definitely very interesting if one has the extra cash... 💰💰
sir.. one thing iwant just shoot one man in the frame...... iwant subject and background focus what is seetinds in sony a7r3
I've been using a7iii for 5 years. The menu is so clear and the flip screen is so comfortable in most scenarios. Don't over analyze things, in fact a7siii is a great camera but there are few reasons I still don't like in it.
Do they have touch screens?
@@project_poor_runner no
I got a nearly mint A7III with 3 batteries, which are all working each a whole day or longer. It has 50k shutter and people on eBay think, every camera with over 12k are crap. So the A7III with 5-20k shutter goes for 1.000 - ^l200 Euro. I bought mine with complete package for 700 dollar. And like I said, only one tiny scratch from thenzipper of a bag can be seen. And I don’t like the new flip screens. You have to do so many steps and your camera gets so much wider. And if you buy such a camera for taking pictures from yourselves, connect it to your phone and you see, what the camera sees.
coming from an 80d n not a pro i just am so happy i got it for cheap. I don't know much bout technicalities because im no pro but this camera is so fast
Does this camera do well with capturing athletes? Video and photos..
Of course it is!
just upgraded from eos rp to r7iv, huge difference honestly, tho I have to get used to sony menu first
Yea I can imagine! You'll get used to the menu, no worries! 👍
Great review, thanks! As an Olympus shooter I'm only a bit sad about the ibis from Sony but for that reason I guess I'll keep the Olympus.
Thanks Olli! Yea lots of good stuff coming from Olympus as well..
I just ordered the A7iii and I'm so excited for it to arrive! :D
Any tips I should know as I'm moving over from Canon :D
Nice one Joe! Have a look at this video I recently posted: th-cam.com/video/Ue50WgFrmpU/w-d-xo.html
I go over a few handy settings you can change on your A7iii. That will surely get you on the way!
What would you recommend as an affordable lens to use with this camera for TH-cam videos, similar to how you're sitting down and talking?
I think a really good first lens to get is the Sony 24-105 G lens. For purely youtube recording a wider lens might be better, like Sigma 16-28 or maybe Sony 16-55.
If you're interested to find out more about that 24-105 F4 I was talking about, I just uploaded a video about it 😉
Just got it and can’t wait for the weather to be better and shoot some northern lights 😊😊
Nice one! Enjoy 👍
Is it normal to get a bit of delay or lag when viewing photos on Sony A7iii ? I’m concerned something might be wrong and don’t want to sell me camera if there is an issue. Some photos change instantly when using the wheel to scroll through photos but then sometimes it will just delay 5-10 seconds before changing , as if the memory is struggling or something
As far as I am aware, this is not a known issur. It could also be related to your SD card. High speed SD cards tend to work best.
grab one on last Black Friday, after cash back the price is down to A$1375. Pretty good price for this camera.
Nice one 👍
I disagree for flip lcd when you use mirrorless camera for video and special with gimbal. A7iii lcd style didn't change the balance of camera.
Good point! 👍
Please tell me the best lens for Sony m3
is it a good choice to buy zv e1 for videos only and a7iii for my photography so I have 2 cameras instead of buying a7cR or a7siii or a7iv, ??
Though question, all of these are slightly different. A7iii and a7iv are hybrid cams, so both video and photo. With the a7iv being an upgrade of the a7iii. ZV-E1 and a7siii are more video focused. With the a7siii being superior.
not everyone likes flip screens. the low vertical shot is the only reason why i would want one. But i much prefer this screen type. LUCKILY the a7r5 has the best of both and hopefully becomes the new standard
I am currently looking at the Sony ZV-1 as my first camera since it is 1/3 the price, very compact and has very good reviews.
I will test in depth first before deciding to keep it or return it to get a second hand A7iii instead.
I am a bit concerned that the ZV-1 isn't much better than a modern smartphone and since I have the smartphone always with me, the extra camera needs to be a significant upgrate.
Any thoughts about my plans? Is a SV-1 even worth a try for me mainly interested in some street and portrait photograpy as a side hobby.
Well, the A7iii would be a significant upgrade from the ZV-1. Just the fact that the ZV-1 has a fixed lens is already a huge difference, so in that regard the a7iii is a lot more versatile and you'll always have the option to upgrade to higher quality lenses.

I practices the last week with a Canon 1200D a DSLR from 2014 with a mid range and a zoom lense. I realy loved the process of going out with a friend and a camera and shooting pictures.
But the technology is holding me back just a little bit when taking pictures and a lot when trying creative videos. That's why I thought the SV-1 might be able to solve both short comings and even fit in my pocket being with me when ever I feel like taking a picture.
I think only a few days testing the camera on the street will help me in the decission and I think it was a good idea to first go out with the old DSLR to get a feeling for the process.
@@VR_Wizard The issue is the ZV-1 is only a 1" type sensor. And modern smartphone are more than capable of bridging that sensor size gap with AI. Personally would not buy any camera that has a smaller sensor than a M43 sensor. You would be better off with a used E-mount camera as you can slowly get the lenses while growing.
I have got a a7iii for 1180 euro's on a market place what an amazing camera the colours everything it just hits
Nice one! 👍👍
I am still dreaming about buying one since it was released
About lack of flip display... I have RX10 and there is easy way to control it via smartphone - I can see at smartphone what camera see ad shoot foto, adjust zoom etc. Don't you have it at Sony Alpha? Then flip display is not needed
Wish I could have one of my own ahhahha
But thank you good sir for the details about it ☺️
I'm just going to sit and wait here til a box with a Sony a7 III drops ahahahhahha
Sony A7III or Canon EOS R for Landscape Photography ?
What do you think about sony a6400? i like it a lot, should buy new or secon hand?
It’s got good specs if you’re doing video and photo tbh but it gret
Is this Sony better for cinematic quality short films than the Blackmagic 6k? They are similarly priced. Thank-you.
I have no experience with Blackmagic but as far as I know, that would be a better video camera than the a7iii
Make a comparison vido on Sony a6700 Vs A7iii
The beginning music is from Dying Light video game isn't it ?!
Fantastic timing! I am buying my A7iii today; it will come with a Sony 50mm f/2.5 G lens; is it good combination for videography?
Nice! I have no experience with this combo myself but from what I can tell it's a nice match yes! The lens has fast and quiet autofocus and a short minimal focal distance, so you'll get some cool shots with it for sure! 👍👍
3:25 cuz its photography first camera. a7s has flipscreen
Canon R or A73? for me is a difficult choice, because it will be my first FF camera and im a Hybrid shooter.
and i live in Brasil,so, everything is super expensive.
love the video and information, thank you! - i wanted to inform you that taking pictures of the northern lights is a bad omen amongst native american culture in Alaska. Amazing content otherwise! :)
Thank you! I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed the video! Oh really, I haven't heard that one before... I know that in Northern Europe, Sami used to tell tales of the northern lights to scare kids. Kind of like the boogieman.
Why is it considered a bad omen?
@@SightseeingStan It is! i'm alaskan native & it's believed that the lights are the ancestors & or dancing spirits of children whom passed on at birth. It's just considered disrespectful & a bad omen to take photos of them.
sir make video on sony 7rv ...please
