Exactly the question I’ve been considering. Great video! Well timed! 👌🏽

nothing can beat auto focus in 120pfs 4k that Sony a7siii has .

a great masterpiece

I bought the A7SIII after buying the A74. After 8 months, I sold the A74. The A7SIII is here to stay! I also got the FX30 as a B.

Just picked up the a7siii. Sony is having sony is having some great deals on this camera right now. This is the low light sony beast. The A7R5 doesn’t not have the same low light capability as the a7siii.

I love my A7S III...does it all for me...just works.

[mirrorlessmemory]

You hit the nail on the head with “Gone and forgotten”.

It really pisses me off when I keep seeing Sony release a new body and still no word on a firmware update for the a7siii.

[TheStudderman]

I use my A7-III for photos, and my A7-SIII, for video, Im a hobbyist, I don’t do anything professional, just some youtube videos here and there, and my family vacations.
I literally love my A7-SIII, the sensor was made cinema type videos.

I have the a7iv but have been considering the a7siii as my primary video shooter. I know there are newer cameras but the identical handling is a huge selling point for me. I believe this would complete an amazing setup... a7iv for photos + a7siii for video

[nathanduffy]

i think considering that the a7siii doesn’t over heat, great rolling shutter performance, 240 fps in 1080p, amazing low light capability, and having the flip out screen, i don’t see how it doesn’t smash the competition and tbh it’s still one of the best cameras in my eyes

I liked the 4-channel sound on the Sony A7S III, though most reviewers don't care about sound. If I knew the FX3 was coming I would have waited, because the sound mixer attachment is much more sturdy.

I have an A0 size print in my lounge of an image I took with a 12mp Nikon D90. I don't understand when people claim that you NEED more megapixels to print big.

Hi mate. Appreciate this is an old video but if you still get notifications I'd appreciate the reply! Currently using FX3s for my weddings through my work. Lucky I know. Saved up enough to buy some cameras and I was looking to get the A7SIII until I saw this video. I never take the top handle to any weddings. I run all my audio with TX650s/660s and happy with that workflow so I don't need XLRS into the camera. For the £500 difference, am I really going to miss out on anything else from the FX3? I don't really use the custom monitoring LUTS and I pretty much stick at 4k50 all day so I rarely have to change the shutter. TORN!

Also I've taken the A7RV to every wedding since it came out and I have not been impressed with the video at all. The low light performance just doesn't match the FX3s and I'm replacing it very soon.

[AISkillBoost]

Interesting. I have the zv-e1 (aka most hated camera by people who haven't tried it).
Love the low light performance of this sensor.

[uphdennyalexander]

Sir does a7siii provide vertical grid display for 9:16 ratio?

[jalexanderevans]

A7rv and a7siii are my bodies. You can put the fx3 handle on the a7siii with the smallrig attachment. If I want to monitor with a LUT, I have a monitor for video work that I would be using anyway. And a used a7siii is 2600 a used fx3 is 3700.

[Bo_Hazem]

I have A7SIII and yes would rather get FX3 if that came earlier, but outside Sony there is no competition. A7Siv would make sense if it has the rumored 21MP, stacked 2-layer transistor sensor. 21MP is a solid photo resolution, and it's rumored that in Slog3 the second base ISO is at 25, 600!!! This means it's gonna probably double the ISO performance which is crucial to me.

[pomanprod]

I bought my first a7S3 in 2021; second in 2022; third a7S3 in late 2022. Workhorses as I run all three for 6+ hours continuous 4k60 10 bit.

[lukegianni]

I wish Sony would release a detailed 5 or even 2-year general plan for camera models, their capabilities and the company's level of support for them, so we, the consumers, can make more informed choices about what are very expensive purchases. Had I known the FX3 was coming out and it's future firmware capabilities I would have held off on buying the A7s3. Sony would still gotten a lot of money and I would have the ideal tool for my work. As it is, only the first part is true.

[BensBreakdown]

Thanks for your video! Got a perfect condition a7s3for 3600 AUD. Very happy with it. It's easy to want to get the next big camera release, and if you have a really high paying clientele, it makes sense to buy the best. For me, people loved my work even on the gh5 so I know a lot of the time when I want to buy a new camera It's usually because I just want to buy something new and not necessarily new demands for clients. Good points made about the fx3, if I had to buy the a7s3 full price, I probably would have waited longer to see what other offerings were coming out.

[coltonmonroe]

I enjoy constructive criticism. Thank you! I only see positive reviews, even if I decide to go with the a7siii I will have peace of mind knowing it's limitations and not caught off guard!! Cheers!!
