Sony A7III Review In 2023 | Still Worth It? 

you're gonna have a blast with that camera!

glad it was helpful! 24mp is still my favourite, a good all around image size

great combo, you’ll have a lot of fun with it!

haha i appreciate it!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

thanks for watching! 🙏🏻

that’s a huge upgrade, you’re gonna love it! 🔥

i appreciate that! definitely gonna work in that haha 🙏🏻 thanks for your support!

it definitely will! you’ll have a ton of fun with that upgrade!

hell yeah! such a good buy :)

it’s still a great camera! that 35-150 is a workhorse lens, you’re gonna love it 🔥

i appreciate that, thanks!

i doubt the a7siii will go down (much) in price soon, but it all depends on why you’re looking to upgrade. what do you feel is missing with the a6400?

@@herokme The main things are the lack of in body stabilisation on my a6400 and I would like to move to full frame for low light situation and that amazing depth of field. I also much prefer the size/grip of Sonys full frame camera bodies. Ive been looking at the a7iv too for the reasons I just mentioned. I also love the bigger battery on the full frame cameras.

@JamesB754 if you’re doing like 75% video; i’d recommend the a7siii. that’s my main workhorse camera. a7iv is a great hybrid camera for a cheaper price, but does get hot pretty fast when recording

haha sweet deal!

i still use my a7iii to this day, still awesome!

i’m def not super familiar with fuji cameras, so i may be biased, but the fuji seems really awkward to be doing quick setting changes with the way the dials are set up. it is a newer camera though, so the specs are a bit better (especially for video). i would probably do this: a7iii if you’re doing professional photo shoots that need fast switching, xt4 if you’re doing shoots that don’t need as much speed for switching settings (ex. street photography), and then video id prob lean closer to fuji for the specs. however, sony is full frame, and has a greater lens selection. if you let me know what kind of shooting you mainly do, i can probably give you a better suggestion

Definitely! Is there something specific you wanted to see?

@@herokme color correction and grading. But maybe you can share your workflow. thanks for replying!!!!

i’ll definitely be doing some of those soon! thanks for your support!

@@herokme thank you so much!

hell yeah, it’s still an awesome camera, especially if you can get it for a steal price!

@@herokme For hybrid shooting if you save your optimal settings in the M1 or M2 recalls for photo and then use the Video mode for taking videos. You wont have to mess around with the PP settings or the autofocus settings.

my only problem with that is if i already have custom settings based on the scene (ex. if my M1 has auto WB set, but i need it at 4000k), then i have to set my white balance again every time i switch back to M1

@@herokme I keep my photo settings on M1 because I shoot raw i just keep my WB at auto. I always shift my WB in Lightroom.

oh actually, i just re-read what you said. i didn’t know M1 could be used for photo settings. i’ll have to try that out, thanks!

i’m not familiar with the fuji xs 20 unfortunately. but i personally would try to stick to a system that i like the most (which for me is sony)

I will highly recommend the lumix s5ii over the a7iii if you want an upgraded hybrid

definitely! i still love it for photography, but it’s certainly starting to show its age. i’ll probably want to upgrade to the a7iv soon. the lumix s5ii seems like a beast of a camera, the only thing would be switching ecosystems which is annoying, but if you’re not invested in any system yet, i would probably go that route!

True. My a6400 is much faster in af department. Kinda frustrating 😂

What is starting to get old with a7iii?

slower response in general, video specs are lacking compared to other cameras now, autofocus is a little slower, body design, etc

i personally would take the a7iii. the a6600 is smaller, but it’s a little too small for my grip, and it’s missing a few key buttons and dials on the back and makes it feel incomplete to me. i much prefer the layout of the a7iii, as well as all the benefits from full frame. the 28-75 is a great lens as well, and seems pretty cheap if you’re getting both for $1500

@@herokme the only thing that bothers me, is the lack of 4k 60fps, but I guess there's no way I can get that in this price range, right? The A7 IV is significantly more expensive, way outside of my budget right now.

yeah it doesn’t have 4k60 unfortunately. although unless you’re cropping a lot, i’d say a lot of ppl won’t even notice if it’s 1080. especially if you’re doing a lot of social media with it

That's also true, really appreciate the fast responses.

anytime, let me know what you end up going with! either way, you’ll be able to get some great shots 🔥

r7 seems like the better choice, although it is an apsc body, if that matters to you

@@herokme im a little concerned about the lens selection for canon R bodies tho, thats why i was also considering another brands. I can use old EF and sigma lenses with an adapter too right? seems like a good option

yep, that will work!

8 bit is still very useable. you just need to be careful about how much you push your images before you get artifacts in your colors

i personally would look at an a7iv if you can afford it. if not, then the a7iii!

@@herokme thanks mate

🔥🔥

the tamron 17-28 is a great budget option !

Sigma 14mm 1.4

still awesome if you can get it used, but i wouldn’t pay full price for it now

@@herokme what will be the best to start? Price range is something like new a7 III

bahaha yepp 😂 i appreciate the support! 🙏🏻

as long as there’s no dust on the lens, i’m good 😂😂

@@herokme Yeah. Sorry OCD was talking too loud. 😂

how come you say that?

Pointless comment.

i haven’t had that problem, and the ppl i know with a7iii don’t have that problem either. every camera will have some sort of issue, and there might be a bigger number of problems with the a7iii just because there are so many of them sold

@Herokme did sony fix that? Or is it one of those buy at your own risk and hope u don't get a bad one??

honestly not sure. i wasn’t even aware of this “issue” until some ppl pointed it out in the comments, but i’ve never dealt with it personally, through myself or my friends
