I’m canon team but recently I bought EOS R, I’m in love with new camera but some times need shoot with my old 5D mark 2, she got something special for me. Salute!!!
You are in the "windy city" Manny! I love you don't edit out the parts where stuff goes wrong. It makes your videos more personable. Everything that can go wrong in a photoshoot such as the wind. You show how to adjust in such circumstances. Great work.
As a previous owner of the A7R3 I wholeheartedly agree. I remember, when I was getting ready to make the switch from a mount to e mount I sold all of mine old amount gear. My guy at the camera store told me that they had just gotten in a open box A7R3. I jumped right on top of that. Wow multiple criticisms were made of that particular camera, I knew about the fantastic image quality. Many of those photos are still hanging in my office today.
I'm still rocking the the A7R3 since I moved into photography/videography professionally and love the camera and agree with all your points. It's the perfect sweet spot for megapixels, with lots of room to crop but also keeps the file sizes down a bit. The only reason I will end up upgrading is now that I am doing more video I would like to have the flexibility of having 10-bit footage but if you have everything set up probably and decent conditions this camera is still amazing for video. Even when I upgrade to likely the A7R5 I'll still be keeping this camera as a backup and second cam. Cool to see you do a video on this older model that is still an amazing photography camera at a great price point. Great video!
The A7RIII was such a workhorse for me. I have upgraded, but that RIII is still no slouch these days and it's so versatile. I have shot some of my best images, from food photography to model work, using that camera. People like me who get upgrade itch make for some great deals out there on used gear, and like in the video, I would HIGHLY recommend this for kickstarting pro work.
I’ve had the A7iii since it came out and it is still a great camera. I got the A7RV almost a year ago and it is now my main camera. I can’t see myself ever getting another camera.
Love this Manny, I went to Mirrorless last year and searched for months for what to buy for my first "real" camera. The A7Riii was the clear choice, absolutely love this camera.
I bought the Sony A7R 3A about a year ago and think it is the most under-rated photography centric camera you can still buy new. The 42Mp is excellent even when shot at 18Mp. The A7R 3A has some improvement to the LCD screen but otherwise it is the same as the original. The flip up screen is great for street photography too.
Thank you Manny for this compliment, i stil have sony a7riii doing good all my work, but always wants to upgrade but cant afford thoght now from today i m confident to have this. thanks man
This weather conditions require more sandbags :-) In lathe/milling companies you can find scraps of steel rods (2 inch diameter for example) at the price of scrap metal. They will fit into the spacers between the legs of the stand and a little duct tape will hold them in place. A side effect of moving the stand from place to place will save you on gym fees.
Couldn’t agree more Manny, bought my a7Riii last year new for half the release price. Form factor, long battery life, image quality all great. I don’t shoot video, this is a photographers camera, and yes it is a beast!
I see the A7R III being still popular among landscape photographers as well and I understand why. The image quality is outstanding and the price is more than right these days. For me, as I shoot some weddings and events as well, the A7 IV is the sweet spot. I appreciate that the autofocus is faster, I'd say it has nicer colours and I'm just very happy with it. Right now the top tier cameras are getting so crazy expensive that I can't see myself replacing my trusty A7 IV any time soon.
I love my a7r3 I’ve been using at my work horse on set for 5 years now, but as of a couple of days ago, I ended up going for the a7r5 ! And I’m in love!! The newer. Auto focus ai and just the tech that it has now makes such a huge difference in what I need it for. Although the a7r3 is still amazing now, I needed something that was going to be able to keep up with what I do. You helped me with my decision on if I should upgrade and I finally did!
LIFE! I saw a Sony a7Riii for $930 on MPB, i thought about it and then looked at an old Manny Ortiz video saying why he chose the A7iii over the Riii. Two days later he post this video lol too funny
@@tdawg719 I personally also felt that R4 focused worse, in fact in low light, I remember it refusing to focus with 35 1.4 Sony Zeiss (pretty bright lens), had no such issues with R3. I can't tell much about R5 because I bought it and sold it in about a month since I did not like it at all.
@@DmitryBrodsky007 what didn’t you like about the r5? The changed menu? I like it but I will say putting the video record button on the front button instead of the back I disliked very much
After A9 and A1, R5t felt like a major step back @@tdawg719 I like to shoot hummingbirds and they are small and need to be photographed up close. R5 has the loudest mechanical shutter ever, well maybe R4 is just as bad. So loud, it scares small birds away. Yet you cannot change R5 into electronic shutter as it also has the slowest sensor readout ever....again like R4, so unless you want to have warped wings separated in 3 parts, you need to stay in mechanical shutter mode. The camera also felt very slow in operation after A1. It was bad. I guess if you shoot only people, it does not matter, people can wait and they don't care about shutter sound. By my birds do. Just not a good camera for me. Which is interesting because I have other modern cameras like Fuji XT5 which has very quiet mechanical shutter, A1 also has a quiet mechanical shutter, and even Canon R5.
@@TheEnergizedcinema Totally agree. Nathan is a master, and an actual working photographer. Most of the other guys are TH-camrs who find models on Model Mayhem and don't actually have clients.
Wooow Manny i am so impressed with all your work but i can tell you have grown so much in your photography skills. Im a big fan of your work. Keep it up my man!!
100% agree… I have literally just bought another A7RIII (A) in 2024. 42MP is the sweet spot for me, I prefer the smaller body, the specs are still relevant and stills image quality hasn’t improved since it was released. If you don’t really care about video, at the price you can get one for (well under 2k)… It’s the best value stills camera on the market. Sony are really smart to still manufacture and sell it as a new camera.
This camera made me fall in Love with Sony! Switched from Canon 5D Mark III to Sony A7R III back in 2018❤ and since 2023 now A7RV. Sigma 14-24mm art and Tamron 35-150mm 😎
i have the A7R3a and it has been my go to camera for portraits, headshots and even event work. still very solid. and i really like this generation of Sony's color science. battery life is great. i can easily go up to 12.8k ISO and the image is generally clean enough without too much post processing. after 5 years, i remain a fan. thumbs up.
Manny great video! I use the A7RIII for all of my portrait, event and sports media day photos!!! You’re my portrait inspiration dating back to my beginning 6 years ago!!!
Shockingly incredible photoshoot!!!! (Windy city photography with a 7 years old camera) I admire your work as a ph and has a content creator thanks for sharing this!!!! 📸✨
Sony A7iii series remain the best! I use mine for video and it’s absolutely beautiful! Thank you Manny for always making us focus more on creativity than on gear.
I literally just posted my first ever portraits advertisement today as a solo photographer. I want to upgrade from my A7ii and I think you're absolutely right, the A7Riii will fit the bill perfectly for my new photography business. Huge upgrade Im sure. Thanks Manny! 👍🏻📸
I've worked with many cameras, including some of the top cinema cameras like the Arri and the RED series. The Sony A7III as well as the Sony A7IV has impressed me even to this day. Absolutely amazing little beast.
Definitely still a great camera. By the same token, if you need to save a little more, the a7r2 can be a great option as well, so long as you’re willing to sacrifice a couple quality of life features. I kept an eye on B&H’s used section and managed to snag a well used one for $700
Yeah I was rocking the a7r iii for stills for about 3 years too. Solid for portrait photography. I "upgraded" to a7iv for better video and autofocus. Oddly I find my a7iv sharper depsite the less megapixels especially for dynamic subjects with the better AF. Definitely a steal if you can find it used in 2024 for photos
Great video Manny! One of the best photography channel on YT! Out of curiosity, why don't you use a C-Stand with a sandbag for your light on a windy day?
I’m still shooting the 7R3 as well since 2021. It’s my main photo camera. Recently got the Sony grip extender for it. Photos out of it have so much richness and sharpness compared to any other camera I’ve bought. Got the ZVE1 for videos and Q for casual outings. 🤷♂️ works rly well for me.
As you say, the A7RIII is still a great camera in 2024. Many people like me are sad Sony stopped using the 42MP sensor. Having one in a A7RV body would be killer. I would love Sony to come out with a retro camera with fixed f2 35mm and a 42MP sensor.
I have from day one the RII and still work great with no problems. The only things I need are eye focus and large battery So RIII is the sweet spot for photography work They have exactly the same sensor For video work A7SIII THE BEAST
You're one of my inspirations in photography, and I don't get back home too often, butI'd love to meet downtown one day and pick your brain for an hour one of these days. I know that's a long-shot, but it would be great.
Still rocking my 3-A99m2's same sensor but a better body than the A7r3 with better button layout and vertical grip and flip screen! I own a A1 for sports now but when it comes to shooting portraits and landscapes I grab one of the A99m2's!
I bought the A7r lll when it first came out and still haven't upgraded because it does everything i need it to do. But i might consider something new when the next cameras come out. Like maybe an A75 or an A1 ll.
I haven’t had a chance to shoot on the Sony a7Riii but I do have the Sony a7iii. It is still a beast of a camera and I’ve capture some of the best action shots of my life with it.
I’m still rocking the A7R2, it works great aside from the batteries that are a bit small. The quality and dynamic range of the images has kept me from upgrading for nearly 10 years.
Just bought the A7RIII for about $1300 as I needed a second camera after my OG A7RII. This will definitely be a camera I will happily use for another decade, especially as a backup body once I upgrade (when global shutter comes to a mid-high res sensor).
My biggest takeaway is how much being on the same page with ur model affects the output.. U and Elizabeth work so well together, I could see that shoot being a total bust and u 2 consistently produce banger after banger.. Also, as a former A7R3 owner i 100% agree..
I have had my a7r3 since it was first released and its still good enough for me. I currently pair it with my sigma 35 f1.2 . Heavy pairing but amazing pics.
Good to see Manny doing something other than Hasselblad videos. I mean, it’s his channel. Do what you want. But very few people would even consider buying Hasselblad. I personally don’t even bother with those videos because it’s not interesting to me, even as a photographer.
Love this review, aside from the good old trusty A7riii, the video feels like 2017, it reminds me of your channel back in 2017, when I first subscribed your channel. Watching this video bring me back the good old days ❤
I find that HSS nukes flash and camera batteries pretty hard. I dropped about $40 on inexpensive 4- and 6-stop ND filters and being able to keep myself down within standard flash sync speeds at f/1.4 is awesome. Other than that, love your setup and have been playing a lot more with flash outdoors lately; very happy with the results and your channel has been inspiring in that regard. Thanks for all you share.
I am not a Pro, photography is my theraphy. I still have my r3 and I love it. When my little daugther began walk I got a A9. Now she is seven and the time begins to make fotos with the R3. She begins posing and not always moving around 😂. Love my old cameras and just got a 50 1.4 GM, love it and the next will be the 135 GM. I prefer invest in gear.
brooooooooooooo I bought a a7r3 and I was bummed because I didn't really see any video of u using it or talking about it wow im glad!!!!!! u made this video im happy and I agree with u man this is my baby I won't ever trade or sell it give u everything plus 42 mp which we both know that a overkill for social media !! great video let go Manny new subscriber here
Yep. I’m still rocking my r3. It’s been killed by the ocean and repaired by photo tech. It’s still going strong. I would like a r5 but I can’t stop buying g master lenses. 😊
A7Riii was my first serious photography camera as well. Haven't had it for years now, but yeah, Sony got a LOT right with that camera and it's still 100% competitive even today.
I know this isn’t a fair comparison as this is much older tech; but how does the eye autofocus match up to the Nikon Z8? I’m just wondering as a secondhand A7r3 might be a better investment compared to hopefully imminent Nikon Z6 iii.
Really considering getting the a7 III as a first camera. Price seems to range between 1400-1500 new, with the 28-70mm kit lense in my country. There are just so many options 😂 primarily I want to take some pictures when traveling, maybe even from a train if that is realistic at all, there are some nice scenic train routes here in the mountains
I love the A7RIIIA in My bag. It is my Go to Carmera. I was a Canon Fan boy with my Canon 5D Mark IV. But this Sony A7RIIIA is much better and the quality of the images is mind blowing. It gives me so much ley way in low light with higher ISO (800-2000). IF you are starting to get serious with your photography and want a wide choice of lens from many manufacturers., The Sony A7RIIIA is the best Bang for the Buck for portrait and street photography. You can get sweet deals from store new as well as used. IT is money well spent on a great camera
Had a great photoshoot today (portrait / nude) witch rich contrast, etc. I set the parameters correct (great Film Simulation, WB, little grain effect, ...) After I came home I realised that it ALL was shot in HEIF only, no RAW (turned it off for some tests). BUT all pictures look great thanks to the great Fujifilm Filmsimulation. Out of the box great pictures....and thanks to DR400 I protected my highlights and the little grain effect makes it look very pleasing. If I would start over again, Fujifilm would be my choice (and learning to make the pictures great without having the RAW Lifebuoy) 🥳
Still rocking the A7RIII, nearly 7 years later.
That’s what I’m saying
Love mine too! All beat up and missing paint, still rocks.

Completely agree. I still use my A7RIII along with the A7IV, but overal I prefer using the A7RIII.
Oh how convenient! Got mine last week ❤
I used A7RIII + SEL1635GM + SEL70200GM in Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Nara and Aomori, Japan in 2019. Took some of my best landscape shots with it!
Was ahead of its time on release. I still use mine for most of my portrait work. That sensor produces quality files.
Good to see Manny doing something other than Hasselblad videos. I mean, it’s his channel. Do what you want. But very few people would even consider buying Hasselblad. I personally don’t even bother with those videos because it’s not interesting to me, even as a photographer.
The model slow-mo was incredible😮
Great ! The Sony a7riii vs a6700 for the Same Price ? For sport photography ?
I have two of them which I've owned from new for the past 6 years...
Still very awesome camera bodies for sure..!
Quality 🤙. What do you film the b-roll with. The Slo-mo of the model
Love this review, aside from the good old trusty A7riii, the video feels like 2017, it reminds me of your channel back in 2017, when I first subscribed your channel. Watching this video bring me back the good old days ❤
Soild camera for sure. Manny awesome shots 👏
I find that HSS nukes flash and camera batteries pretty hard. I dropped about $40 on inexpensive 4- and 6-stop ND filters and being able to keep myself down within standard flash sync speeds at f/1.4 is awesome. Other than that, love your setup and have been playing a lot more with flash outdoors lately; very happy with the results and your channel has been inspiring in that regard. Thanks for all you share.
I am not a Pro, photography is my theraphy. I still have my r3 and I love it. When my little daugther began walk I got a A9. Now she is seven and the time begins to make fotos with the R3. She begins posing and not always moving around 😂.
Love my old cameras and just got a 50 1.4 GM, love it and the next will be the 135 GM. I prefer invest in gear.
brooooooooooooo I bought a a7r3 and I was bummed because I didn't really see any video of u using it or talking about it wow im glad!!!!!! u made this video im happy and I agree with u man this is my baby I won't ever trade or sell it give u everything plus 42 mp which we both know that a overkill for social media !! great video let go Manny new subscriber here
Yep. I’m still rocking my r3. It’s been killed by the ocean and repaired by photo tech. It’s still going strong. I would like a r5 but I can’t stop buying g master lenses. 😊
Manny I was just so worried about your light throughout the whole video I couldn't focus on what you were saying. I had to watch it twice :)
The A7R3 was my first Sony. Traded it in for the A7RV. I recommend the A7R3 to everyone. Especially for the price to feature.
Love mine. Simply fantastic sensor.
A7Riii was my first serious photography camera as well. Haven't had it for years now, but yeah, Sony got a LOT right with that camera and it's still 100% competitive even today.
I know this isn’t a fair comparison as this is much older tech; but how does the eye autofocus match up to the Nikon Z8?
I’m just wondering as a secondhand A7r3 might be a better investment compared to hopefully imminent Nikon Z6 iii.
Bought my A7RIII in 2018 and I'm seriously considering picking up a second body. Literally does everything I need it to.
I need to get my hands on one. Will be my first full frame camera.
I'm an Canon R5/R6 owner and the A7R3 or 4 would be the camera I would go with if I wasn't with canon. Amazing camera!
Awesome content manny. Fun video to watch. Greetings from Houston texas
Really considering getting the a7 III as a first camera. Price seems to range between 1400-1500 new, with the 28-70mm kit lense in my country. There are just so many options 😂 primarily I want to take some pictures when traveling, maybe even from a train if that is realistic at all, there are some nice scenic train routes here in the mountains
I love the A7RIIIA in My bag. It is my Go to Carmera. I was a Canon Fan boy with my Canon 5D Mark IV. But this Sony A7RIIIA is much better and the quality of the images is mind blowing. It gives me so much ley way in low light with higher ISO (800-2000). IF you are starting to get serious with your photography and want a wide choice of lens from many manufacturers., The Sony A7RIIIA is the best Bang for the Buck for portrait and street photography. You can get sweet deals from store new as well as used. IT is money well spent on a great camera
Had a great photoshoot today (portrait / nude) witch rich contrast, etc.
I set the parameters correct (great Film Simulation, WB, little grain effect, ...)
After I came home I realised that it ALL was shot in HEIF only, no RAW (turned it off for some tests).
BUT all pictures look great thanks to the great Fujifilm Filmsimulation. Out of the box great pictures....and thanks to DR400 I protected my highlights and the little grain effect makes it look very pleasing.
If I would start over again, Fujifilm would be my choice (and learning to make the pictures great without having the RAW Lifebuoy) 🥳
Like your Content! Greetings from Germany Buddy ❤️🙏🏼
My a7r3 is always my first choice to shoot with still. Great video as always bro.
I love you man 🙌🏽
R3 def does it all. Wishing I would’ve kept mine with my R4.
I agree! R3 is a beast! But why is everybody pronouncing Canon like "aseven"? Is that Dutch?
Hi Manny, I'm a big fan. Keep on doing videos like this.
