#sonyalpha #a7siii #review
The audio test while doing the sponsorship is a genius move! Not annoying at all and actually gets the message through. Hats off Gerald, once again
It’s the only time I don’t skip the ads. I legit listen for audio quality differences lol
No, not hats off. Hats on. Next to the pool
Literally one of the smartest and most creative TH-camrs on the platform right now!
It's a good way for not having people skip through it.
What you’re doing for (future) owners of this camera is amazing. Thanks from France !
He’s helping us who have it now also 😉
Salut Pape San ! Alors cet A7SIII c'est ta nouvelle caméra ? Comment ça va en Corée ?J'apprécie tes vidéos, continue comme ça !
@@redfield8758 Merci l'ami!! Oui je vais en acheter une mais elle est encore en rupture de stock :/
Pareil.
Oui oui 🥖
There is nothing more I want from TH-cam right now than long Gerald videos about the a7S III
Cant agree more
Mark Vasquez got mine two and a half weeks ago, it’s unbelievably good you won’t be disappointed
BAM! Love the shout out! BAM! Go Terry!
Your videos are insane. So much detail and work into them. Well done.
So much value in one video!
I've had some issues with the V90 Lexxar cards not being able to keep up when shooting in 4k50fps ALL I. Mainly because the files are so damn heavy I think...
Had to buy myself a CFE A to be able to shoot all the modes but it's pricey as hell.
Keep the content coming man!
Thanks, Peter! And thanks for sharing your notes on those cards. 👍
I feel like this camera didn’t really need the CFexpress cards. It’s great tech, wonderful job implementation but isn’t only needed for 4k120 All-I conformed in camera? So no audio and harder to speed ramp in post? Anyway, great video. Love both your channels 🤘🏻
my main issue with CFE A is that theres only the sony ones and they're also small.
i want 256GB
for me : Sometimes the Lexar V90 also seems to report as a V60 - switching the A7Siii off and on again seems to reset this.....
Love how thorough your reviews are. I think these last two reviews are edging me over to convert from Canon mirrorless.
CAPITAL SEVEN?! Geralds a fraud! Dislike, unsub. Fake news! 😂
This is Tech Today Fun fact: there actually are upper and lower case numbers! We generally just use upper case numbers all of the time, but you’ll sometimes see lower case numbers used for dates (specifically years) in older documents.
Lower case numbers exist, they're shorter and hang below the line like the letter g but they're almost extinct
🎶The more you know 🎶🌈
Very helpful content, thank you so much for making these!
Fancy seeing you here. Just watched a video of yours today. :)
@@carlseiler you guys should get married
Hi guys! Is there any way how I can record video at the highest bitrate in HLG directly to my SSD on my laptop? I am planning to record the video on my laptop and then synchronize it with my server, so I will have almost "infinite" storage. But at this moment I haven't found a solution of how I can make it possible. I was thinking about OBS but as I can see - it destroys the quality of the final video.
I bought that camera about 3 weeks ago and I love it. Can’t believe I could live without it for so many years.
Another banger, Thanks, Gerald.
Cheers, Jacques!
I don’t know why, but you doing a storyblocks sponsor is so much better than anyone else’s.
Thanks for all the updated info. The V90 Lexar works too for the V90 record modes. That is what I currently use with the A7SIII.
Question: is the Lexar v60 memory card able to record at 4K 120p 10bit 4:2:2 for a prolonged period of time? I heard that some of the memory cards can do burst speed recording but they will stop recording after a few minutes.
Good news for Final Cut Pro users. Today May 21 2021, I tested the Sony XLR-K3M with the Sony A7SIII with settings raised to 24 bit 48 KHZ and in Final Cut Pro this 24 bit sound codec is now recognized by final cut so no more surprise silence or static and we can finally edit recordings with something other than 16 bit! Sure, some individual Apple apps still won’t play sound, but it’s not hard to find other video player apps that do play sound if the MP4 was recorded at 24 bit so it’s no big deal (ie when you try playing the Sony files directly). Now that we can import into final cut with audio, well things are certainly looking up! Okay… I’m Done ✅
HA - Show this comment to Storyblocks - ANYTIME I'm watching a video and the creator starts their Storyblocks spiel, I skip forward. I've actually never watched a Storyblocks advert until now, due to having the audio test during the segment. Well done Gerald. Well done :)
Gerald back at it again with an entertaining and informative video!
Thanks for doing all the research and testing for us, it is much appreciated.
Man that last part & intro. No doubt about content & doubt clarifications, but I never get bored of Gerald's Videos.
Finally have this setup! :) A bit under two years later! And it still does the job.
the most useful camera reviews on youtube are here. thanks for your work
I liked that transition to Storyblocks, normally I often skip sponsors, but not this time.
Watching all the Sony a7siii content you are making and as soon as it gets here in the mail ill be right back to watch again!!
Now that Is the slickest way to keep us from zooming through the sponsorship section we’re outraged 👍🏾
I am an official Panasonic (S1H/GH5), Fujifilm (XT-4), and now Sony (a7SIII) user. Because of you Gerald. STOP making these great videos that showcase how awesome these cameras are and how to work around their flaws. You will notice I don't have the other brand that people love so much. No hidden cripples for me.
So many good notes like the 16 bit audio for internal recording. Would be great if there was a written compilation of some of these notes available somewhere as I wait for the arrival of my new A7siii. Great stuff Gerald. Many thanks.
Loving my Sunday morning Gerald Undone video! Another excellent techie episode.
“I’m Gerald Undone, and all I want is the perfect camera.”
Haha. Camera Conspiracy gonna get mad and add more Toneh
I see what you did there, good stuff.
Gerald has the best reviews hands down! Ur awsome!
Awesome video as usual. Shall favourite it to watch later again and absorb more. My mind was very confused when you said capital 7 though. I was like what? There is such a thing?
wow this is very specifc and detailed. I think you are by far the best detailed review out there. FANTASTIC!
I’m Gerald Undone, “and I always capitalize my 7’s”
Sony A7Siii looks like a beast. Also loving your channel! Stay safe!
Oh man. 1:40 "I'll switch back and forth between the K3M which is sitting on my OTHER Sony a7SIII". Dude, I'm still waiting for my first - already fully paid - A7SIII since August and no one can tell me when it will arrive at my Sony dealer here in Germany. Meanwhile I watch every video you make about the A7SIII looking forward to mine, but this part hit hard. Still, awesome videos, keep up the good work, you're one of a kind. Thank you.
Came for the nerdy content. Liked for the CAPITAL 7
i dont understand whats the deal with the capital 7, please tell me :c im innocent :C
Another great video. Maybe it’s my headphones, maybe it’s TH-cam , or maybe the way you eq but I couldn’t hear any difference between the Zoom F6 and the Sony k3m 🤔 speaking of which, it’d be interesting knowing what kind of post production you do on your audio... that’s my main “problem” atm
Hi Gerald! Love your videos. Could you do an A7siii rig breakdown once you have yours configured in a way you like? I’m most curious about power options, similar to your A7iii build, especially if that DTAP to NFP cable’s USB can power the A7Siii through the USB port. It’d be awesome to just kind of have that one cable for monitor + camera! Plus I’d love to hear about how your approach to building a rig has changed since that video, any new cool additions, or anything that is specifically helpful for the A7Siii. Thanks for covering this camera so thoroughly, I’m looking forward to more content on it if you have any planned!
What’s happening everybody? I’m Gerald Undone... and you’re not.
I test the XAVC HS 4k 120 at 280mbs / s in 4:2:2 10bit with an ANGELBIRD 128go 5SD SDXC™ | UHS-II | U3
and Class 10 | V90) rated at 300mo/s read and 280mo/s write and that work fine. My A7siii show an overheat indicator at 25:06 minutes of rec (4k 10bit still) and shut down at 28min with this message, (in french btw) "Surchauffe de l'appareil. Laissez-le refroidir". I shut down my A7 and power on 4 minutes later, the indicator was still present. I shut down again for one minute more and the indicator deseapper.
I hope this comment was useful
Have a good day
Really like how you mix adds with useful content (mic test). Thank you for that
You kill it every time! Information gold!
I'm literally using your luts today for a shoot to convert from slog3 :) you a legend. Thank you
thank you so much Gerald, your brain works so fast i have to rewatch the SD Card section a couple of times 😭😭😭
*or i have probably an old Class 2 Brain 😂
My question is how big is the difference between xavc s 120p and xavc si 120p? Is it worth purchasing the expensive cards?
Your reviews are awesome. Thanks for the technical breakdowns. Every video you make...I'll be watching you :)
Thank you for actually getting the SD card info right! So many other sayings V90 only. Much appreciated!
I think upper case numbers are Canadian thing maybe? 😜
😂
Indeed Matt. 😂😂
It could be but the supply for Canada is in hiding. :(
Didn't know that yet.
thx Gerald for all the info...very helpful !!
And the award for the greatest thumbnail 🙌🙌
The K3M audio quality is superb. I can tell that the Zoom has quite a bit more headroom but negligible and only while audio peeping. I am so glad that Sony came up with this camera that pretty much got right all the gripes I had with previous a7s models. Being a BMD user for the past years since I didn’t like the color science, bit depth, chroma subsampling and overall motion cadence I can definitely add this camera to my workflow. I find I can really match it to my BMD cameras which adds a lot of value to my productions. Thanks for the great content!
Rock solid advice as always. Thanks Gerald . I just knew there was a payoff to keep listening. Cheers.
OMG, thank you for listening to my question about the 2nd Base ISO. Keep up the good work and wish you more success 😁😁
Prograde owes you a thankyou. Their price to performance has made me feel much better about storage for the a7siii and fx6
Thanks for the video, Gerald. What computer are you using btw? Is it the AORUS build? If so, how well does it handle 4k 24/30, 60 and 120 in H.265? Do you need to transcode the footage before editing?
2. I have read that NVIDIA doesn't support 10 but 4:2:2, while they do support 4:4:4 as well as 4:2:0 in 10 bit. How does that affect things for you, and for us? Which GPU do you recommend for a fast workflow?
3. Since H.264 and H.265 have the same bitrates in XAVC-HS and XAVC-S, is there a difference in quality of the footage, specifically when it comes to fast motion?
4. Have you tried the Premiere Pro HEVC decoder that was just announced this week? If so, with what GPU and how well did it go?
Bottomline: I'm wondering if I should buy a new PC or not. I have an old R5 2600X with 1070 Ti, which is kinda slow for 4k workflow. So far I only really worked in H.264 8bit 1080p, so I was good. But now, with 4k and 10 bit 4:2:2, the answers aren't clear.
About that last question, I still think that symbol is not an "a" but a "α" wich is Alpha and not A.
Anyways, I'm here again watching a video about a camera I don't and won't use. Thanks for making it entertaining! :)
Thank you, Gerald Undone! Appreciate all the work you’ve put into these videos. Subscribed.
Uppercase 7 was the most entertaining part of the video... Brilliant
So much information packed into such a great video
LMAO!! Capital 7!! Thanks for the answer. You either do MASSIVE research, have a MASSIVE 🧠 or both. Just got my a7S III (
a SEVEN S III
Captial 7 is Sony's middle name.
Hey Gerald. I see the next Studios Undone with Kevin lol
@@Docfly62 That would be cool. Unfortunately, until [insert virus word here] let’s up, my wife has to quarantine for 10 days for her job if she or I come into contact with anyone traveling. ☹️
I am using a Kingston Canva v90 256GB with my A7SIII and it works fine for all-I up to 4K60. The Kingstons cost 249€ around here, and those 128gb Sony's are 280+€. Thank you for this amazing video once again.
Another helpful video Gerald. Thanks.
I don't have a Sony, in fact I don't have any camera besides my phone now but I still watch all your videos lol
I subconsciously click on ur videos the second i see them XD always PACKED with knowledge! THANKS!
Amazing value in this video. Thanks man!
On a roll with these videos~ Keep up the good work mate~!!
There are "uppercase numbers", kind of. You did use that. Lowercase numbers would be the non-lining, aka old style numerals.
Can you do 240fps on a prograde v90 card?
Pleasure to watch as always :) Love my A7siii, thanks for all the tips & tricks!
Glad to see all the big TH-camrs have their camera Sony while us small people still are waiting.
this video was very helpful but only mildly entertaining
Use external recorder, jam using tentacle sync and their studio software... super easy, super fast, better quality audio and 1/2 the cost of the Sony xlr adapter
The creepiest intro you’ve EVER done 😂😂😂
Whoa! Cole DeRuse! So weird seeing you comment on a video!
Abe SC haha hey bro! I’m a big fan of Gerald and over the past few years video work has become my main source of income. So I have a couple a7iii’s and the a7siii and love his content!
Cole DeRuse That’s awesome! I’ve followed you since I watched Cooper Films bts of your First Name is Cole music video! I really love that song and watching the creation of that video is one of the things that got me into filmmaking.
Abe SC wow.... that’s so awesome to hear bro 🙏🏻 coop is up to some big things now! Crazy times
Love that you were up front about using Davinci Resolve and therefore you’re completely unenthusiastic about proresRAW! I hope this camera will support blackmagic raw via blackmagic’s 12G external monitors in the future!
Thanks on the 120p vs 60 ... I was wondering myself.
Thanks for helping with the audio. The 4-channel inputs are important to me.
There is so much useable information here, it is amazing. Thanks, again.
Loved this walkthrough, easy to understand and def found the card use helpful.
I recently bought one, don't have a clue what I'm doing with it. I get very jittery video except in 8 bit, not sure what I'm doing wrong. Also trying to make a video of house framing the 2x4 studs looked like they were vibrating violently as I panned. I might have been better off with a cheap camcorder. I probably just need to watch a lot more of your videos to learn how to use it. Thanks for all your very informative content!
I like the way you audio tested Gerald Brilliant 10 out 10.
Miles’s question gets no entry in the video 😆 this cracked me up Gerald! Bless you brother, love your random jokes!
Very informative video as always. The SD card explaining Was very helpful
Loving your elbow light, awesome!!!
YO!!!! This guys Audio game is Phenomenal
You convinced me. I'm getting Undone
Wondering if the 24bit Sony audio being recognized in Final Cut is resolved?
If you keep making these a7S III videos I'm just going to have to continue to watch them.
How you manage to pull off these intros with a straight face remains beyond me ..
Awesome, appreciate your videos. I'm excited, as I will have A7s iii with these components, but it would be great to see rig options for similar configurations, could you do video on that?:
- XLR-K3M
- battery grip
- 2x Sennheiser EW100 G3 mics
- Atomos NINJA V
- Polar Pro BaseCamp Kit
No need for large batteries, battery grip will work ok, most important - as slick as possible rig, for handheld use.
Thank you so much for this video! When using the ninja to record, does the 24 bit audio recording mode support all 4 channels passed over to the ninja?
Another video I need to rewatch a few times. Thanks Gerald. Great info.
Thanks, Gerald! 👍🏾
This is a very useful video for us. Thank you so much for the educative material.
Worth mentioning that XAVCS-I HD s&q 240p is only compatible with CF Express Type A as well
I have the same problem with ProRes raw, there is a work around i did to get my files to resolve, is a bit of a hassle but i really liked the result. I had to download Final cut pro, i did it because they gave me a 3 month trial, import the ProRes raw files to FCP, in the metadata window choose sony Slog3 then export the files as ProRes 444HQ, then you can ingest those files in Resolve without any data loss
I’m glad you format the name right with the capital 7
Can't wait for you to get your hands on a C70. Other than internal NDs and built in XLR, I'm wondering if it has anything that justifies the 2000 usd difference from the a7s3
Hello Gerald and thank you so much for your videos ! I finally received my A7SIII yesterday and I'm in the middle of updating the Sigma MC-11...and DONE ! Back to learning in taming the Beast now ;)
Hello. Just wondering if you can get continuous Autofocus with the MC-11?
GENIUS way to get us to actually watch the ad haha
No one is talking about the 4+2 Additional Focus Area Tracking modes
that appear in the Menu when the camera is in M Stills Mode. Its
mentioned in the Sony Guide at the bottom of "Selecting the focus area
(Focus Area)", but does not appear in video mode. BTW pressing the red
button in stills mode will record video, but no tracking.
Gerald, great video as usual, I know I'm late to the party, but just got an A7SIII. So far, it's pretty great..... but a couple glaring issues which I didn't see you mention anywhere. 1. You can't set custom white balance from within a memory recall mode, which is annoying and pointless. 2. Not such a big deal, but HDMI settings are not assigned to memory recall settings (ie I want different output record settings for 4k24, 4k60, and 4k120 without having to change it in the menus manually every time. Hopefully with your Sony pull, you can get them to fix this in a firmware update.
