Gene Waddle Even im not Anti-strap enough to go without. I had more gordy strap on the whole time in both aerial adventures. I put it under my hand along the grip and it is really discreet. Chris@TCSTV
Awesome Review guys! Your reviews are always amongst the very best, but this one just raised the bar even higher I would say ;) Special thanks in particular for the mini tutorials and comparing the key differences between the A7rII so well. The improvement in IBIS is quite impressive, even though it's only .5 whatever... Full frame video is also notable better based on the samples which is a really big deal I would say. The pixel shift technology is very interesting, but I was honestly expecting a more drastic result. Thanks again guys and great photography/ real world video sample footage!! Jay
have you seen the adapters? The fotodiax one had actually screwed up some people's cameras to where they don't turn on, and the ones with autofocus aren't that great at all. Autofocus barely works. Ya I would love to switch but its just too expensive with only Sony making the lenses. I'm sure theyre great but need to wait til Sigma can get more lenses for an e-mount. I actually prefer the sharpness and quick autofocus of the Sigma lenses over nikon, for the price you can't beat it. Ya sony is a new company and their mirrorless and g series lenses are top of the line, but if they want people who have invested alot in canon or nikon to switch they need to make affordable options or work with Sigma more. Every time I think about switching I'm looking at 5-7 grand for a one lens set up to switch to an unfamiliar system and keep the image quality that I'm used to on a nikon. That makes it hard to 'ease' into casually. As long as nikon keeps pumping things out like the d850 I gotta stick with what I'm invested in. Just hoping the rumors of a full frame f mount nikon mirrorless is true. then there will no need to try and switch.
I think I feel like you, wow! Sony has some good stuff and do better on video than Nikon, but the feel I get with the Nikon is not even near the same with a Sony. I want a mirrorless Nikon with IBIS and great autofocus for video. or just better autofocus for video on the D850 and I am very happy
Just bought myself an A7RIIIa for my birthday. Had a difficult time choosing between this and the A7RIVa, but the EDU discount at B&H was huge on the A7RIIIa. I’m coming from a Rebel SL3, so this upgrade will be a huge difference for myself and my photography.
On this Sony A7r III 3 an important thing is missing which is the color inversion or negative. Very useful for reproducing color or black and white negatives. Many photographers have these negatives in stock and could digitize them. I hope this message reaches Mr. Sony's ears.
Damn, so close. If only I wasn't so busy I'd drive there if I had known. It's hard to take a bad shot there, especially in a hot air balloon in the sunrise. Those shots were worth it. Wish you did some mountain biking as the trails are top notch.
Hi Chris,perhaps one of your most brilliant videos so far!You don't know how much I'd have enjoyed being in the ballon and tell you how good photographer you are..!I don't know where are you going to be up in the next video,maybe on a camel in the Sahara desert.Well Chris,joking apart I've enjoyed a lot your video.Great photos and very clear with the pros and cons of this little beast.Tiil next time!
That's so crazy how in that image at 1:06 from up in that balloon, because of the perspective, the wide-angle lens, the shadow of the balloon being right there, and seeing the trees and shadows of the trees seemingly fall inward, it looks as if everything is being pulled towards the center, like the balloon's shadow is a black hole! Pretty interesting shot!
Can anyone answer why Sony did not make both card slots UHSII. I mean you are already paying over $3K for this camera. I can’t believe it would cost that much more to make both slots UHSII? Just a question. Thanks
By the way, I was getting so damn anxious whenever you were shooting over the edge of the basket, and it didn't look like you had any kind of shoulder/neck or even hand strap securing the camera!! I was picturing a failed attempt at a Jason Lanier-style camera flip and WHOOOPS, raining A7r from a balloon! LOL
It's obvious that the Nikon D850 pictures are richer and the colors truer with more detail. Sedona is Red Rock country. The Sony pictures make the dirt and rock look muddy brown, where the Nikon pictures show the redness of the Earth and Rock in rich, true to life color. The out-of-camera D850 pictures are simply better. There is a beauty to the D850 pictures that I find difficult to describe. But I love mine and not even eye focus, ICIS, and silent shooting would persuade me to switch. Bottom line in any camera is picture quality and the D850 has it.
Great video as always. Also, let the management know that I just made my first major purchase at the CameraStore last week based on following you guys and your videos for awhile. CS was great to deal with also, great prices, fast shipping and super helpful staff. Keep up the good stuff!
I'm only 7:36 in...must say, the video quality is among the best if not the best of your videos to date! Also great shot/cut, Jordan...! Still at 7:36...I'll continue!
That's a great video to cover all aspects! But which one would you personally prefer? The Nikon D850 or the Sony A7R III? Also the reason for you if you can please say. Thanks and cheers for the great video!
He's there in the background enough times in the past that it had made me wonder whether he'd appear THIS time, in remote Arizona. I was duly rewarded. XD
Too much megapixels for me, waiting on A7SIII or A7III. Looking for 20megapixels and 4K video. HDMI output with 10bit 4.2.2 would be nice also. Good hybrid camera that is just a tap better for video than to photo, needs like A7RSIII :D
Does the A7RIII still have sony's 29:59 video recording limit? If they removed App support that means the open memories tweak for unlimited recordings will no longer work.
Doesn't the hack that removes the the 30 minute record limit use the play memories app? If that is no longer there, are we stuck with a record limit? This is terrible news.
I don't get the battery complaint, the A7RII is fine. I never needed more than one and a half batteries for a full day around Orlando using lots of stills+video.
Okay people, let's get this straight for all of the Matt Granger apologists - we all get that photographers often shoot young beautiful women. But why is it there is such a consensus that there is a creepiness to the way they function with MT?
I dont think Matt Granger is creepy, maybe Terry Richardson but he lifes from his creepyness. Its No big deal shooting nudes, photography is an art business.
Very excited for this camera, depending on the performance I may use it more than the d850 for street photography and hiking landscapes. I'm a huge fan of the 7r ii but I don't own it.
Thank you for another great video guys :) 2 quick questions: the touchscreen was better than the one on the A6300? About the DR, I agree than on Full Frame and even APSC cameras there is plenty right now, but do you think that m4/3 cameras have enough of it? Maybe the new G9 will be better?
Chris and Jordan as always it's a pleasure to watch your videos. It never feels like your pushing a product or agenda, just a straightforward, even-keeled, honest, thoughtful and to the point review of whatever it is your sharing with us. Thank you.
Foto4Max I'm not interested in dissing other brands like the tech geeks who've moved into cameras, I genuinely like the a7 range although for me it's a tad small and ergonomically not ideal when used with GM lenses. I'm held back by comments like these: tobinators.com/blog/2014/04/gear-and-kit/sony-a7r-in-not-weatherproof-shock/ These are from a few years back but are still relevant today and this is bourne out by Sony still being vague on this issue. Not sure if your aware of a more in depth weather test done this year with 5 top cameras including the a7r111, it was pretty intense and the Sony went down on a humidity test and before that suffered major water ingress to the battery compartment during a rain test. I just wish they put more focus on this, if so i'd probably switch but I can't afford to risk losing commercial jobs because I get caught out by a rain shower. www.diyphotography.net/weather-sealing-test-kills-sony-a7riii-not-nikon-canon-olympus/
