Excellent comparison, Thanks! Congrats on the professional redirection! As an artist stuck in an engineer’s saddle I’m jealous :). Having moved from the Z6ii to the A74, both Sony’s AF and lens ecosystem alone were worth the switch. I’m looking at upgrading to the A7R5 or “downgrading” to either the Fuji X-H2 or H2S. We have 6 children and use photography heavily in their education (art, geography, mechanics, technology, etc.), it’s an amazing medium. We’ve bought them all older Fuji Finepix Bridge cameras (S9800, SL1000s), and the images they get from those 16mp sensors are wonderful! They’ve even won a couple photo contests with them. Creating an entire ecosystem for the family using the Fuji X platform makes a lot of sense considering overall cost, body style choices, system familiarity etc. The question for me is always “will the AF be good enough on the Fuji?”. Loved your images on both platforms, I’m not a pro but as a graphic artist and musician I have high standards. Facilitating a quick turn around from image to jpeg is also a priority, I love Post but would rather spend my time shooting if the quality is acceptable. Fuji’s film sims and “recipes” seem to be a route to that rapid sharing. Would love to hear your thoughts with your recent experience. Conversely, I could also get a couple used A73’s for the kids to start with… for the same price however I could get them X-T4s… Enjoyed the video, thanks for sharing,useful for me as I’m looking at 2 of the cameras you were shooting, Sub’d to watch your journey!
Wow! Congrats on the family and the prizes won! :) for the younger members of the family, they will cope with either older A7 III or H2/H2s, but their friends will like the fuji film sims more :) for yourself, the Sony quality is incredible and the fuji film sims can now be installed as unofficial lightroom presets, that’s all I’m saying ;) thanks so much for being here!
Interesting perspective. I have both bodies and they both rock! The A9 III is a beast in terms of speed and although 24 mp, the IQ coming out of this system is IMO incredible. To be honest I have hardly used my A7RV because I enjoy shooting the A9 III so much. I like you thought of the A1 and maybe waiting for the second generation version but ultimately in the end decided to go for both of these bodies instead. No regrets. People tried to convince me to buy an A1 but I could not see paying full price for a camera that is over 4 years old and with old technology. Although it's a great system, the AF and form factor of the newer bodies is much better IMO. There is no real clear timeline as to whether Sony will release a refresh of the A1 anytime soon but I really don't know if it's really feasible for them to do a global shutter with such a high MP. The cost it seems would be prohibitive. The A9 III IMO is the perfect camera in the sense that it resolves the rolling shutter issues and provides flash sync which in itself is a great thing! The 24 MP? Negligible, especially if you're just posting to social media like I am. I got the A7RV mainly for my future interest in landscape, astral and portrait photography where maybe the detail is more desirable. But to be honest? I really love the images coming out of my A9 III. Thanks for your insight and perspective. I've been a Sony shooter for years and doubt I would ever switch as I have so many of their lenses which in tandem with their systems produce amazing images! I shot with an a6000 for years and graduated to an A7 IV for another 3 or so years. Shooting mainly wildlife and my kids events, such as swim team and band. I sold my trusty A7 IV and moved up to these current systems and have loved it so far. If the A1 Mark II ever comes out who knows what it will bring. Perhaps at that point depending on my needs I may consider it but for right now I'm very happy with these 2 systems you've reviewed. Cheers!
Amen to that! I can’t wait to see what legendary Sony sensor they put in the updated flagship, but for sure the a9III is addictive! Also, your decision makes complete sense, 2 bodies > 1 workhorse!

I cant wait for my comeback, but it has to come from the heart like your content.
@@ItsAboutSusi Yeah! it's the best tool for content creation! let's go :)

Why does Sony give a youtuber with 150 subs 2 cameras? I don't mind it, I'm just curious
Because I’ve done some work for companies that I can’t disclose due to NDA’s :) the youtube gig is only 6 weeks of my life :) welcome to the channel!
@@clifais_media ah cool :) good luck my man!
Thanks :)
