Start buying more SD cards! 120 fps is crazy. I wonder what the buffer size is for even just jpeg. I'd imagine you'd need a crazy fast card to shoot more than a few seconds at a time before running into the buffer limit.
Even though this is basically a product overview advertisement, I noticed that the effect of the global shutter on panning jello artifacting (image wobble) in video mode was not even brought up. That's the major point of a global digital shutter ... getting video to look closer to the aesthetic of shooting on film. You know a lot of people will be buying this camera for use as a portable, prosumer 4k video camera. Possibly more so than a stills camera.
Dynamic range wasn't initially disclosed, excited to see tests as well. In our livestream Mike Bubolo stated low light performance will be similar to the a1.
based on this videos DR (if it was shot on a9III) it looks like it took a hit. Also the fact that Sony didnt mention DR in the presentation leads me to believe we lost a stop or 2.
Yes, that’s exactly my takeaway from the few samples that have been made public thus far. This camera seems to prioritize speed at the expense of everything else.
@@Mew77778 that's right. This camera isn't for everyone. It's for professionals who wouldn't mind the extra bulk to get their jobs done. (They already carry extra batteries anyway.)
I’m a Canon r5 user, I wish canon will release a global shutter or just a stacked sensor camera that increases hss up to at lease 1/2000 for R5 ii even R6 iii would be awesome.
im sure canon can do it,. they are behind 5-6years in mirrorless game,. but they still catch up sony in terms of autofocused,. probably by next year canon will released global shutter,. if they can make 100-300 2.8 its means canon is up to their game,.
$5,998 for the body only???? ONE SINGLE PLUS: Shutter is global. And if you want to shoot video with it, here are the MAJOR NEGATIVES: No DCI 4K recording, Sony XAVC codec only, 422 8-bit external recording, no Apple ProRes, CFexpress Type A / SD Card Slot instead of Type B. PURCHASE DECISION: No way. Better luck next time out, Sony San.
Pro-Capture is just a feature that most of us can get around with a bit of thought, planning and fieldcraft...and other companies have introduced it via JPEG and lower MP because of the processing speed required...Sony's first release of this feature is 24MP RAW and full frame, which is not a bad start. Global shutter is the real game changer here. IMHO
Hope Canon knew this was going to happen and they are going to have a global shutter on the R1, it would be a shame for them to have to back to the drawing board
Wait a minute..... Does it or does it not have a shutter? If it's just a sensor without a mechanical shutter anywhere to be found, well then it's shutterless! Global or otherwise it doesn't have a shutter. What you're describing in regards to the new sensor is like the difference between interlaced and progressive scan, shutter ain't got nuthin to do with anything here since it doesn't even exist within the camera. Is this another one of those language issues were nobody seems to get up to speed? Ya know, everybody is filming all the time, every video every one keeps talking about filming this or that, but ain't a single one of them actually using "film"! There is no film, it's just a picture or a motion picture (aka) video. Just as there is no shutter, there is only a sensor! For me, an apple is an apple and it can be no other thing, I'm dirt simple. But I'm constantly trying to understand the rest of the world talking about one thing but meaning something else entirely. So, somebody please use small words and explain to me what I'm missing, unless it's not me, but really is all of you that's the problem. Cheers 🍻
It’s funny how a $6k camera doesn’t have 8k video Even with global shutter, you can’t justify such a travesty when a $4k camera has it How many photographers have strobes that can output power at 1/80000 of a second and how expensive is that light
8K is not the point. Is way more important for cinema and video having a global shutter than being able to shot 8k. In other words, i bet any filmmaker out there would rather use a good 1080p camera with global shutter than any jelly rolling shutter 8k camera
Lots and lots of overzealous pre-judgement happening with this camera. This is all just a commercial. There is no substance here on the camera itself. The only major advancement based on the little we know about this camera seems to be pre-capture and HSS flash. Jury is out on the global sensor; we'll see. Pre-capture is huge, and thank goodness Sony copied Nikon on that. HSS flash is also huge, but the audience for that is tinsy-tiny. 120fps bursts on the surface sounds huge, but will end up being a nothing burger for the most part. Almost no lenses can keep up with 30fps bursts, let alone 120fps. This is the kind of feature that leads countless hours of sifting through garbage back at the computer.
It's an amazing step in the evolution of digital photography but I'd say there's plenty of competition depending on what you use it for. For a landscape photographer, the global shutter makes no difference, the base ISO of 250 isn't anything to shout about and 24Mp whilst probably the sweet spot for sports (which is all I have seen this camera aimed at so far in reviews for obvious reasons) is less useful than the 45+ that other cameras already have. I'm sure in time there will be a 50Mp version and everyone will want that because it sounds cool but the photographer and the glass you put in front of it still make a better photo than the sensor and always will.
If they priced it at $1500 they would not be able to produce enough to keep up with massive demand. They would also put Canon and Nikon out of business! 🤣
Sony just dropped a nuclear bomb on the camera industry. The Sony A1 with the exception of 8k video and 50mp, the A1 is dead when this camera arrives in photographers hands!!!
Sony will look after their A1 customers with some enhancements in a firmware update...but what will the A1II look like? I'm excited to see where they will go with that?
120fps to go through after ? No thanks you be behind the computer longer trying to figure out what’s the best shot. I’m excited to see what people do will flash photography, that be insane
@@philgowerbirdphotography: Really? Sony just introduced a global shutter, but cannot add more than one new custom button, and therefore I must restrict all of my comments about this new camera to its global shutter? Although a welcome addition, a global shutter will almost never be critical. And typically, it will be less important than nearly any of the other new features that α9 III introduces, even the one new custom button. Meanwhile, a Sony Artisan who offers critical assessment, not promotional hagiography, reports that α9 III's maximum shutter speed _with_ continuous AF is 1/16 000 second, which, as seemingly the global shutter's downside, is slower than α9 II's, 1/32 000 second [Patrick Murphy-Racey, "Sony A9III pre-review", _PM-R TV_ @ RU-vid, 7 Nov 2023, timestamp 1 min 59 sec]. If that is and stays true, then I myself would prefer a rolling shutter.
@@oasean I don't see it as 'ridiculous' Sony added one new custom button. It was probably by design. Wow, global shutter with full AF at 1/16000 is what we should be saying...never been done!! For many the glass is always half empty...that's just the way it is.
@@philgowerbirdphotography: Obviously, adding one new custom button was factually-not "probably"-by design. What is your point? Anyhow, yes, you're among the many for whom "the glass is always half empty." Pleased by the α9 III's new features, I noted merely the ironical and bedeviling omission of virtually the easiest imaginable upgrade to implement. At that, all you can do is complain about me and imply that I hate the camera. At nearly 50 years old, this is literally my first time telling someone, "Grow up." Just since you feel that rolling shutter was woeful and that global shutter is panacea, it doesn't mean that my use cases and values have to match yours.
@@philgowerbirdphotography: For example, I upgraded to α9 largely to gain burst shooting at two stops dimmer, 1/32 000 second, potentially eliminating need for an ND filter, and to discard the problem of "rolling shutter" skew. Then I upgraded to the α9 II partly since its customizable shutter speeds virtually eliminates banding via rolling shutter. Should I, to satisfy you, pretend that rolling shutter caused me problems, when it didn't? I continually had problems with insufficiency of customizable buttons.
I agree AI a real issue for the photography...will be very difficult for photographers to set themselves apart...but I'm hoping there will be a way. It's one thing pushing me towards more videography.
Yes, the A9III is dead for Wildlife photographers. Nikon made the same mistake before bankruptcy. New innovative solutions were produced to cabinet and a few of them were added to the new models. At that time Sony developed Miirrorless as a competitor and Nikon lost the market.
