How has this been four years? Such an informative and entertaining camera review. This is what sealed the deal for me deciding to buy an A7iii and with no regrets. Great to see y'all still going at it and off to new adventures. Thanks Chris and Jordan!
You took the words right out of my mouth. I went from a canon rebel XSi to a sony a7ii after watching the camerastore review of it, but after seeing this video I knew I had to switch to the a7iii and I never looked back. Glad to see other people going through the same experience/revelation lol
My thoughts exactly. The grading, framing, audio, tripod & gimbal use - everything feels really on-point. Even the scripting feels better-paced and more on topic, but there's still humor. I sincerely hope every video hits this level of polish.
Congratulations on joining DPReview guys. Previous subscriber on The Camera Store TV and now subbed to DPReview. I unsubbed when Kai and Lok left DigitalRev, it shows the power of strong hosts. Here’s looking forward to some great DPReview content.
A very cool move, especially as it means I now finally have more subs than Chris and Jordan! Er, for about another three hours. Good luck fellas and see you soon. x
1.) It's DPRers. 2.) It never ceases to amaze me that people just don't understand how folks like you thrive on being as unbiased as possible when producing a review. It's a sacred thing, to be able to produce content, whether reviews or tutorials, in which you can express your thoughts completely unrestricted. Oppositely, when someone is just flat-out pimping a product that they were given for free in exchange for review, (and that's the best-case scenario; it gets worse from there) ...then viewers can smell it from a mile away. So, kudos to you guys for scoring this gig. I'm honestly jealous! Keep up the good (and entirely unbiasned) content.
Chris Niccolls yeah...to me , the main reason to tune in to TCSTV was your bluntness..your honesty..and the fun. ;) There's no BS. And you are good at what you do. Now.., you've got to raise the bar ! This video is a good start ;). It shows!, that little bit more care (and time to be able to care, off course) and one can already see where you're aiming to improve . Cheers from Portugal . Keep those videos coming.
Agreed, as a product reviewer myself, the number one thing that seems to be missing from most others' reviews is a sufficient amount of "alternative options" comparisons. Most of the time, unfortunately, this is because either the reviewer simply hasn't had much experience with the full range of options, or they don't want to displease whoever "supported" the review.
Congrats guys! I’ve always been a fan of you both. There’s a reason DP brought you onboard so please maintain your style. Please do more lens reviews especially with the 3rd party developers like Tamron, sigma working to provide high quality more affordable alternatives to the big boys.
A like from me for not hiding the obviously shortcomings of the A7III. Sick of videos that just say that the A7III is a a7riii with 24mp instead of 42 and ignoring the worse screen/evf/sealing etc just because they want to get clicks on their affiliate links
It is so good to watch the second A7III review from you guys finding there is more useful information than the previous one. Good to see you at DPReview and wish it all goes well.
I've been subscribed to TCSTV for about 5 years and it's been really fun to follow you on your journey. Really happy for you guys, and of course I've subscribed to this channel as well :)
Congratulations! It makes so much sense to team up with the DPReview lab team. We're looking forward to the upcoming videos ... and may your suitcase filled with inspirational Canadian snow always be with you! 🍻
I don’t know why, but every now and then, I come back and watch this episode again. This video was one of the reasons I pulled the trigger an the a7iii in December 2018. 2.5 years later, I’m still very happy with the camera. Sure I’d love the extra resolution that the a7riv offers or the video features the a7siii has, but for an amateur, this is still plenty of camera and I imagine I’ll stick with it until the a7iv comes out and probably longer. BTW, you guys rock. By far the best camera channel on RU-vid!
Hey Chris and Jordan, I've been a subscriber to the Camera store TV for years, I'm a filmmaker and I've loved watching your videos for reviews on lenses and cameras. Having seen so much of your stuff, this new video is the highest quality I've seen. It's obvious you guys have a bit more time to make your videos (like you said in your stream), and it really shows. Congrats on the new move, I think this is going to be a great partnership for you and DPreview which I knew about but never really visited. I'm subscribed now and I'm really looking forward to the new videos you guys will make. Bravo, and hopefully the subscribers shoot up like a rocket.
Very good. Maybe throw in a quick bit of science from the DPReview guys on some of the features of new cameras. Some of us are fine with reading 10 page dissertations of how Back Side Illumination works and affects the sensor capabilities, but a quick 30 second run down of the basics would be helpful for many people. You could even have somebody at DPReview record it and edit it into the show.
Well we absolutely hope we can bring a new flavor to the channel. Expect the same combo of entertainment and information. Thanks for supporting us! Chris@DPRTV
Great review guys, I got a shock when I watched your last Camera Store video, my first thought was I hope you are not becoming bankers or something, but hey here you are with DPReview my internet home from home. I hope that you guys will contribute to the DPReview forums as well, especially to talk a bit more about cameras you have just reviewed. That would be the cherry on the cake as far as I am concerned.
Nice to see you're keeping the great Canadian landscapes in your new format. We the viewers want the fishing episodes to continue! Or at least I do. All the best at DPR, and good luck with the 'frozen balls"! ; )
Went to tcstv, had a heart attack, went here & subscribed. Good luck from the Netherlands, guys! Just got the A7iii, so glad the review was mainly positive :-)
Congrats Chris and Jordan! Longtime follower and now looking forward to what you guys do with this partnership. Also, thanks for playing “Don’t Stop” from the Party Hard game during the Pinbar section...this’ll be stuck in my head again for the next few days.
This partnership sounds like the very best of both worlds. The best text reviews with the best video reviews. I just hope that you find something to do with your original channel though. Congrats :D
First step would be to change that old forum interface where you have to see each answer separately. I'm avoiding dpreview pages for that reason. 90s are long gone, guys.

Please tell me you’ll still have your year end ‘best of/worst of’ with drinking games...or is that a no-no now that you’re corporate? lol - new subscriber
Great move on the part of both you guys and DPReview. Looking forward to watching your reviews in the future and great review of this fantastic camera.
ps: That screen where you compared +6 stops on four different cameras -- jaw dropping, very important insight. I had not realized how advanced the A7iii sensor is compared to my D750!
You now have the most authoritative photo channel. Great job. I would like a few more tech conclusions from the dp lab. And too bad you didn’t have much green to shoot but The Sony greens are bad enough to stop me from buying this camera.
Congrats on the DPreview move Chris and Jordan! Sad to see the end of the TCS era but i assume it was a move for the better! Excited to see more of what is to come! Great first review with DP!
Congratulations Chris and Jordan, , I would like to hear more about how this change came about, did Dpreview ask you guys out of the blue ? please fill us in on some details, and is the Camera Store going to replace you guys and keep putting out videos ? and Please try to be the first to do a review of the New Tamron 28/75 f2.8 E mount, and maybe a comparison with the GM on an A7r lll, sharpness, contrast, focusing, resolving ability
Its something we've been working on for awhile. We certainly hope TCSTV will continue to flourish with the new hosts, Dave and Ev, at the helm. I desperately want to get my hands on the new Tamron 28-75. Very excited to see how it performs. So far there new line of lenses have been decent performers. Chris@DPRTV
Congrats on the new gig. I hope that means we get content more frequently now. Please don't change anything as we've loved your videos at The Camera Store. I see you two as the friendly human interface to the nerds and tech data of DPReview.
Congrats on your move, guys. Loved your TCSTV material and glad you've continued your style of friendly, casual, balanced reviews aimed at the likely users of the particular equipment you're reviewing. Great job guys and best wishes going forward. Subscribing to DPReview.
BEST INTRO EVER! Congrats guys! You couldn't change channels in a better intro lol And congrats for the DPReview partnership! You deserve guys deserve!
Wow guys. Great video. In a 20 min video I never once thought of clicking out. Keep it up! If I can't get an a7S3 by July, then I'm definitely going with the A73. Cheers
Followed you guys for quite a while, your always very honest and truthful your revue of the Fuji XT2 persuaded me to buy one and I have not been disappointed. Good luck with your new venture
I have a question for you Jordan, I have a GH5 and A6300 already but I really want a A73 or GH5s . Which to you has less noise with more detail up to ISO 12800?
