Sony A7S III is one of those cameras that come along every decade or so, that just seem to stand up to the test of time. Sony outclasses much higher priced cinema cameras in image quality, and when you factor in usability with autofocus and active stabilization, size, prices lenses etc. It will be tough to be the A7S III or FX3 for cinematic video.

@malekith13 2 года назад

To be fair, that thing was above 4000€ at release when even the X-H2S is "only" at 2.7K, it better be great at that price range lol and it's "only" 12megapixels, which makes it great for low light but less interresting for photo. And if you compare it with the fuji x-t4 well it's around 1700€... so yeah less than half the price ^^

@kapilesh14 2 года назад

I heard that high pitched hiss, I will describe it in details. - The hiss was rather prominent whenever you accelerated on that one wheeler. - When you stopped on the one wheeler the hiss went away. - It reduced when you moved your head or did something like that - in your studio(home) it went away completely. I have a theory, either that hiss occured because of the air when you were riding or may be magnets in the one wheeler were causing it. It can happen. In fact, I had to reduce the volume in order to not annoy me ears.

Yea, I hear it as well and find it rather annoying. End up skipping the video entirely as I can't stand the sound. Guaranteed to be the one wheeler.

@EatsTooMuchJam 2 года назад

I’ve been using Z Cam since their first camera and was an early adopter of the E2. I’m glad to answer any questions you have and to help save some time! For starters, the 160p 4k mode is great - but the catch is that it’s 2.39:1 aspect ratio instead of 16:9 or 17:9. 120 fps is the maximum at those ratios. The con is that you lose some resolution, but the pro is that you will gain SO MUCH cinema with the wide screen and frame rate! Another is that there is some automatic exposure available. I’ve used automatic iso in the past along with manually setting aperture and shutter speed. It works fine, but it will be stepped (vs Sony who does it steplessly). I think there’s also a 1080p crop mode that will get you a bit more reach (but I’d have to double check). It can do 240fps and the quality is pretty nice. Anyway, let me know if you have other questions!

@wtfnahmean 2 года назад

Absolutely. I used to wanting to upgrade cameras every year. Pre-ordered the A7S3 on the day it launched, and never bothered to replace it ever since. IMO it's a perfect camera (I could nitpick the IBIS, but honestly it's alright)

I'm still learning mine, but I couldn't agree more with this sentiment. Honestly I couldn't believe how ugly I was after I saw myself in 4k, so thanks Sony for helping me to realize how many flaws I have to fix. I miss the custom video styles of the XT-4, but using LUT's afterwards is a decent fix in post to play around with. Do you primarily shoot PP8/SLOG3?

I have the FX3. Its basically an A7SIII that lives in a brutalist condo block and drives a Saab. I do love it. I came from using an a6400 and later on a GH5. It isn't the best, but it does a lot less wrong with a lot less faffing about than a lot of its rivals. I'm ok with giving up the margins to hit the center. I just did a graffiti tour with it yesterday, it turned out great.

I wanted the 4-channel sound, and slow motion. I should have waited for the FX3, as the XLR handle attaches securely, like on camcorders. A7S III I would have liked more in a camcorder. But cripple hammer. Camcorders can't be this good, and cine cams have to cost more. - I'm getting intermittent screen black outs. Happens when the camera gets warm, used harder.

@berkertaskiran 2 года назад

Hey Kasey. Looking for a hybrid to use alongside my BMPCC (1080p ver). I will use it for filmmaking and for stills. I'd like 10 bit 422, definitely good AF and good IBIS. I have two Sigma EF lenses that I don't mind adapting as long as AF is usable. I've considered many options like GX80, G9, GH5, S5, XS10, XT4 etc. I almost got the XS10, but I didn't because it doesn't have 10 bit and it doesn't seem like AF and IBIS is reliable enough. Same goes for XT4, which is a bit on the high side of my budget and still only offers 4:2:0 10 bit. GH5 seems like the best option, but I just don't want another 2x crop in my life and I want the AF to be actually reliable. A7SIII and A7IV checks these boxes, but they're just too expensive for me. What do you think would be a good cheaper option?

Common knowledge that the a7iv has tweaked color science and sharper image. Even the a7iii has a slightly sharper 4k image than the a7siii due to its downsampling from 7k

Focus breathing comp. would be nice but you actually just need it on focus pulling. You do that 1% of time usually. You can have a lens with no fb specifically for that. I use a7siii with 20mm f1.8 and fb not noticable as people complain. Unless again you do focus pulling (who does that on 20mm). 35-200 focus pulling most fun

Any alternativrs I am interested besides a7s would be double the price (a1 or fx6) but i better invest that into glass as i did for 16-35gm and 20mm g as of right now. Also it has amazing viewfinder. I find it very useful at summer during video. Its the cqmera that has more features then you actually use and you sometimes randomly stumbles upon those features and you are like: oh wow that a nice feature! I am going to use it too. Didn't even know it was in software package! Fb comp. As i said can be nice but I really don't want sony to go lazy on their new lens design (as they did with distortion comp. On some new lenses) and make them new designed lenses not stay in frame when focusing. It should be cared out by design and fbc more as a backup solution. 20mm is forgivable just because it is extremely small and has sharpest corners i ever seen.

I thought it was a stacked sensor at first too, but use it for photography with the electronic shutter for anything moving and you'll see the rolling shutter warping in the photos due to it not being stacked. Also, I know what you're thinking - why would anyone use it for photography too? It's not the megapixel size, it's how you use it.
