$3,900 Camera vs $1,300 Camera | Sony A7RV vs A7III 

The a7rV uses pixel binning. It reads an 8K video capable sensor (which is actually 11K!) grouping together a few pixels, reading them like they were one, to give you a 4K image. It appears to be softer because the a7iii read the whole sensor and downsample the image to 4K, retaining more information, and thus looking sharper. The a7rV can do something similar but you have to be in super35 (APSC crop) mode

This is one of those channels that is highly underrated with 21k subscribers. You could for sure have 100k-200k subscribers by the end of the year. Great channel man!

Mans was really reflecting on his life choices in the middle of testing lmao I’m starting to like your vids 😂

Great work on the video!

Really nice breakdown and entertaining watch!👏

Good Video, really shows that the improvements are incremental and the marketing hype and RU-vid excitement for each new launch can be a bit overstated. Truly a point of diminishing returns but having said that, I did buy the A7rV and it's the most polished camera I have used from Sony. But clearly folks can save A LOT of money and just get an older body and make great content.

Thank you for your efforts, keep going, you're doing great)

Love your style man

Wonderful video!

Underrated

Now I know what camera to buy! Thanks for that ❤

Great vid

Great video as always, when you shoot slog 2 with some changes to settings, you actually don't get the magenta tint. Should try it out

A7RV is 6k downsampled to 4K (off topic... A7iv is 7K downsampled to 4k = sharper picture than a7RV). I like Cinetone! I sold my a7iii over a year ago. TBH, I wish I had kept it - such a capable camera! a7iii still holds up today.

thanks for this video ! im so happy with my A7III, i dropped it during a shooting not a long time ago, and i was considering the A7RV... but i think i will just fix it and carry on making money with this banger !

Great video ! Looking to upgrade to A7RV from A7RII. I think it’s time 🙂

First comment! Fan of your work and learning a lot. Plus I have the a7III and am really excited to go against more expensive cameras 💪

So great as always. And can i ask what music you use?

great video! I will stick to my a7iii an wait for the a7v. I can´t have it that a more expensive camera has less sharpness in 4k 😀

I have A7III and man its still amazing camera for hybrid use I dont feel that i need a new generation camera that much! A7III is a legend!

great video

Your videos are great and you look cool 😌

Wow I love this guy!

I want to upgrade, but I hate that the price tag doesn't feel like worth the upgrade when everything you mentioned isn't that noticeable.

Hello, I have a7 iii do you think I should switch to a7 Iv or a7V??? What kind of camera do you use?

I like my A7III a lot 👌🏼 still learning the video part of it

Love the video! I live in Japan and do you have any recommendations on where can I buy a used A7III that has English menu? I live in Osaka

The A7RV is a SIGNIFICANT jump in image quality and stabilization. Slap a lens that resolves that sensor better like the 35mm 1.4GM and you'll start to see the differences more. There also seems to be a lack of knowledge on printing. The maximum printing size for the A73 is 13x20 @ 300dpi. Whereas the A7RV can print it's full resolution up to 21x31. I'm not sure where your billboard idea came from. It also is really amazing to crop and hold image quality, and its 61mp sensor gives it a nice lowlight advantage as well. However, if you aren't printing, or cropping a lot, or have lenses that can resolve the 61mp sensor, the advantages of the A7RV start to disappear. Oh, the stabilization on the A7RV is magnificent. I can comfortably shoot at 1/10 @ 85mm and the image is tack sharp as if shot at 1/1000... My older sony's could not dream of that.

Make more color comparisons with different cameras

14:53 I felt that on a spiritual level 😂🤣

BT2020 color space doesnt have this magenta shift in A7III

Im trying to decide between the A74 £2000 (grey importers) and A7R5 £3000 (grey importers). Its really down to the rear screen and evf quality. This video has made me wonder if I should just pluck for the A74. I thought there was an improvement in the auto white balance and stabalisation to, but Im wondering if that is just marketing hype.

Try when comparing autofocus not to make 2 pictures together but to make one big one with each camera and put a stopwatch!)and then it's still impossible to see which one is faster and better!

Just watched this video, not to find out if I need to upgrade to that crazy priced 7R5, but if I can still go to sleep in peace with my 7A3. I can🙏mission accomplished🥰 Even got some got additional tips on settings. Thanks very much, nice clip👍👍👍 P.S.: If I ever want to go for an upgrade (which doesn't crash my budget), I was thinking more of the 7A4, how about that one? Cheers

I have been using my A7III since 2019 for mostly Milkyway Landscape Astrophotography and also as a general travel camera (portraits, landscape etc.) Now I have been thinking about adding a second camera body to my kit, especially for the times when I travel to remote places for Astro. I thought it would be great to have a second body to get more shots/time-lapses in a single Astro night session. Initially, I was thinking about a second A7III (costs 1800 EUR), however, I don't know whether it would make sense to buy a five-year-old camera again, instead shelling out for A7RV (3900 EUR) might step up my game for landscape and also allow for more crop and better prints. (I also shoot windsurfers occasionally, shooting with the 105mm and then being able to crop would be great) The question is; would A7RV give me better astrophotos in terms of ISO and low light performance? or will the low-light performance be a disappointment after A7III? If I shoot at 61MP on RV and downsample it to match the 24MP of A7III, then when comparing them side by side, will I have less noise and more SNR on the 61MP Downsampled version?

I love your content, but I'm down here to ask a specific thing, what is the brand of that jacket you are wearing and where can I buy it? 😍

Quick question, would you rather shoot in movie mode or manual mode for the best results?

I want to buy A 7 iii for flim making

What hair products do you use? Your hair is amazing

Where does the a7iii cost 1300? Because In the usa is with not len in 1999 and with len 2199

Good Job A7III ! Let's challenge all camera in the world !

I shoot on raw with an a6700 and I use FL all the time

Does a7rv do better video than a7siii?

You have to shoot the A7RV in 8k and then output it in 4K to get the superior image quality.

There is a sale for 1400 EU only for the body (a7iii) but i am not sure if its the right choice to buy it. I do drone videography and i want to buy a camera that can make some cinematic scenes with my drone videos however i want also to have the option to take photos. Any suggestions? Also i am a beginner in the camera industry and my budget is around 2000

a7rv less sharp maybe because of slog3 detail set to -7 by default... i don't know about a7iii but personally i like the soft looks on a7rv compare to the over sharp image a7iii produce..

When you are shooting these videos for the test, are you shooting on the M dial?

I have both the A7III and traded my A7RV for an A7Riv. I kept the A7III if one of my friends wanted to come along. But ain't no way, Ill go back to the A7III, A7IV, or A1. I need megapixels. The only issue I have with the A7riv is that it only has 61 megapixels and I wished it was at least 100. I didn't keep the A7rV because I shoot 61m, 3.2,uncompress raw resulting in a 120mb file. Plus I shoot 1080p with a well lit scenes. The pixel shifting tech is basic and needs work to be something practical.

If you have money buy a7r5, otherwise like me , get a7m4 or even m3, save the difference for better lens !

The new price for the A7III in the United States is still around $1,999 unless there is a sale going on.

I just got an A7III and I'm seriously torn about watching this video lmao

$1300 Sony A7iii? Where do I get one at that price lol? I thought it was $2000

Is that your LC80, or just one in the parking lot? It's sexy!

The a7iii have only 24mp as the a7rv have 61 mp. Its easier for a lense to deliver a sharp image to fewer mp.

I lierally got to use the a7iii like this previous week and let me tell you my honest feelings. dont get it. Like get a canon RP or what ever instead. even a nikon will do. After using the a7iv and the a7siii, I felt like the a7iii was such a bad camera. the colours were so bad but if you have never used the newer sony camera or gonna get it for just videos (no photos and with mixed feeling about video ), I say go for it. You wont know the difference. the problem was I kept getting wierd colours and wierd banding of colours in photos with unnatural colours in the shadows. it was less vissible in the videos. And jobs where I needed absolute colours, it was shit. again, if you have never used the newer sony camera, or new to the fullframe, you wont know this so get it. its still a huge upgrade from apsc or whatever. I remember my fist time with it and my mind was blown. Now im just a spoiled brat with a bad mouth. EDIT: built quality wise a7iii is better. have you seen the memory card door on the a7iv and the a7siii. I have not used the a7rv but Im in need of it.lol

I support you from egypt 🇪🇬 Keep going mate 🤍👏

Why do Sony A7 images look too clinical and don’t have no character?

Your English is fantastic; you need to work on the word quality though just a bit.❤

1080 p comparison I was expecting that one Bottom line is sony makes cameras last for the future.....thats y I love them

Jesus love you all❤️✝️
