Sony A7III in 2024 - Watch Before You Buy 

sir i been confused and i only have the budget to buy a second hand a7iii....should i buy it ? i was planing to use it for videography

@@MaskPerfect I'm not a good person to ask on that one because I do very little video with mine. There is a recording time limit and you can only shoot in 8-bit. So you could get banding issues. The A7S III is an amazing camera for video but I suspect even second hand it's more than you want to spend. I hear the LUMIX GH5 is really good for video and very affordable. Might want to consider that one if you're mostly doing video work. Keep in mind though the Sony will have much better autofocus so there is a trade off. Hope that helps.

@adspogee Can you share me the details, where you got this? I'm looking to buy this and 1198 USD is a great price

second hand @@SaiKumar-pe7kb

@@SaiKumar-pe7kb probably bought used on amazon or ebay. I am considering the same. I would like to ask this guy how he liked it but seems he died or really doesn't care to discuss or follow up on anything.

How'd you get it for a cheap price? Did you buy it used?

Huge amount of money, but isn t the price around 2000 euros, just for the camera ? Where u found the offer?

How do you like this camera compared to the FZ200? I have a FZ2000 right now and was debating upgrading but want a camera that can do 4k60fps

Whats the AF like? The main reason Im leaving Panasonic behind is the AF, but it doesn't look great on this review

Certainly, interesting information, but those facts don't really serve as selling points for me. I'm not inclined to purchase an a7iii just because it influenced Canon and Nikon to enter the mirrorless camera market.

​@@NLspartan117 Back then it would have really interest you into getting an a7iii. Back in 2018 when the a7iii came out, the other 2 great mirrorless cameras are a7Riii and a9. DSLR couldn't even touch these 3 cameras when it comes to autofocus and video features. Your options back then was either the Canon eos R and Nikon Z6 which both came out later in 2018 and still couldn't keep up with the a7iii. You're just learning this now but you were never in the moment when Mirrorless camera revolutionized the camera world in 2017. Sony set the standard and the roadmaps for all cameras in the future. You look at all the mirrorless cameras today, it was because of Sony that did it. Otherwise, Canon and Nikon would still be producing their DSLR lineup. Canon almost wanted to produce another 5D Mark V but didn't. Heck, the only reason why they released their 1DX mark iii is because they already invested too much money in it to lose out. You don't have to get an a7iii but majority of people i have recommended to, they love it because of the Eye-AF.

@@harryvuemedia5106 While I acknowledged the revolutionary impact of Sony’s A7III when it was released, its past revolutionary status is not a great selling point for today’s buyers. It’s not the primary focus of the video.

Although i found an a7cII for only 1950 (dutch website)

I have a similar camera I just bought currently but got a good deal for a a7iii waiting on me.. Do you think it’s worth upgrading to an a7iii as a casual photographer?

@@SEVEN-sg5rb I would since it’s a top tier camera still

i just got it, i say it's worth

@@matthewsigel6507 nice!

Buy it used in Like New condition from MPB for $1,175

@@RumoHasItwhat is the website for that?

It still very good camera. Even if you compare it to the new one

I’m using the A7iv over a year now. I don’t experience overheating even in the desert

Im thinking about buying this camera.

I have a6400 and recently shot using this one from a friend on a trip. This is definitely better, but a6400 is better value for money. I guess it just comes down to whether or not you are ok with not having a full frame.

not that bad. I remember it being worse but i think maybe im just used to rolling shutter. but also who whips pans like that anymore. That style of film making isnt even in hollywood anymore

Flip out for these annoying “vloggers” 🤪

I have the A7iii and it’s phenomenal for both photo and video. Although, the A74 allows you to film in 4k 60fps (cropped) which can be a game changer for some.

If the A74 is in the budget for you, I’d recommend that. But, the a7iii will get the job done!!

Yes it would bro, I sold my canon r50 last week and got the sony a7 iii yesterday and it’s beautiful and has such a nice build quality while the canon r50 felt like a toy in my hand lol. Loved the r50 though because it was my first camera but I needed the upgrade for my work and also more lens options 👌

Where

A7IV

you got a great deal

I would love to! I think i will do one when we hit 250

lets gooooo @@TechThroughTheLens

Why is it much better?

@@D4rkThuNderplays well for starters the autofocus and tech is far better and brand new as opposed to 5 years old. It’s also a full frame instead of crop sensor. Records in 4k60fps no crop has 10 bit 4.2.2 colour and the list goes on and on. Basically way better and cheaper

@@davidmaxfieldgolfThe A7iii is full frame, and it has more quality of life things like dual card slots and ibis

@@davidmaxfieldgolfnot to mention the battery life on the A7 III is way better than the R8

@@JuanSolo-ln8yq apologies it is full frame but I believe it has a crop in 4k60fps whereas the r8 doesn’t

Would be great for that !

lenses are way more important then the camera. so you're saying the really important point is a flaw for the S5.

@@LCSL90 you still have good lens, dont get it wrong, prime and variable, and the variable cover the range at f2.8, but they are in my contry 10-15% more expensive brand new. But if you want the features s5iix provides is worth it in my opinion when you get to that lvl and use those featurs And the whole pack camera + 3 lens cost s about 15-20% more than a7iii. Is an upgrade in my opinion over an a7iv. And you provide better quality for clients, at this price range of camers If the next generation of camera has an included nvme slot would be a game changer

it cost twice as much LOL

this camera plus a lens for $300 is 100% a scam bro thats not a realistic price

agreee i cant even find it used under 1800 aud (just the body)

Try the zve10 . super simple

@@TechThroughTheLens thanks I’ll look into this one

whats complicated about it, i’m tryna start photography with jt

People still use cameras from the 90s. Food for thought.

@@Burnincyclon3 but I mean if you wanna be like a photographer for events such as weddings, BD, etc

@@cristofferruiz3914yup it is still good for weddings and events!

I use this camera for event photography and LOVE it. For videography, however, I have a few niggles: no 4k 60fps etc so I am looking at upgrading. It is solid for photography though and likely will be for another 5 years, I've never had an issue with it photography wise.@@cristofferruiz3914

This camera still okay for 5 years later.

R6ii is way better camera than the a7iii, only downside is that canon doesn't support 3rd party lenses. And their lenses are very expensive.

@@WrongEnd is that a good thing that the lenses aren't expensive? Also what is comparable to the mark 2? In terms of a Sony camera is there one arguably better than the r6 mark 2?

@@noxus158 not really, a7iv is the main competitor for the r6ii, but it lacks in raw performance, r6ii is better at tracking wildlife fast moving animals like birds, burst mode up to 40fps and pre-shooting so you don't miss the action, on the other hand Sony offer more resolution at 33MP, perfect focusing system for casual photographers, cheaper lenses, support 3rd party lenses.

If you are a new photographer i would recommend going with the sony, canon lenses are damn expensive. If you don't make money from photography don't buy canon until they open the system for 3rd party lenses.

@@WrongEnd I make good money from what I do so I definitely am going to stick with Canon. I'm not looking for it to make revenue. I just want genuinely good photos

Happy to help

mightawell go with the a7IV with that budget, great for videoing but the lenses would cost a bit more ig

I know im late but Go with the A6700 as it would supply your needs at a budget.

Hey@@OTG1776 i got the A7 iii in the end :) now i just need to learn how to edit videos 😂😂

Its a good budget camera i think

is the a7iii any good?

@@daddynowski although I pretty much alone with this opinion, I don't think the A7iii is a good camera.

@@daddynowski Don't listen to him, it's really good for getting into a modern full frame system. Look at its capabilities. There's a reason he's alone in his opinion. Money is an issue to me and I would imagine most people that don't have money to throw at the latest cameras (which are obviously better at everything, I will never understand people who compare the previous model of a series with the current one and call it a "bad camera" just because technology is offering more years after its release lmfao, with that logic every phone that isn't currently the newest model sucks), so comparatively this is probably the best choice out of any sub 2000$ mirrorless out there right now in terms of vfm and features for your dollar, especially if you're buying second hand. You're getting a stabilized full frame back-illuminated sensor with great real time eye, face and object af, the best balance between pixel size and resolution in my humble opinion (which allows for a tiny crop in video too), it can do 4k... I mean I'm getting mine at 900 euros man, you can't beat that. Sony's strong suite isn't skin tones and the menus on these older alphas are pretty weird and tricky to navigate but as a budget all-rounder it's the best there is, no wonder people love it. In my multi-month search of every single brand and camera body around my budget I can safely say Sony's dominating for a reason, the others do better in some other areas but suffer a lot in way more things that Sony does right overall, starting with the A7RII, with the introduction of that backlit sensor. I would advise you to worry more about the lenses, this body is still great and delivers way more than I'd realistically need personally.

@@anecro thanks for input 🤙🏽, i got mine second hand great condition low shutter count came with 2 batteries, battery grip and body for 1,000 USD. I have a sony g series f4 70-200 oss ill be using for my sons sports.
