This was the most I've ever learned about a camera in a single video. Well done man.

[dslrvideoshooter]

Anyone else watching this instead of the actual announcement? 😂 Thank you Gerald for the killer breakdown!!!

[sabomarius]

Now this time Sony choose the right tester for their new camera.

[Rickjonesfilms]

I'm less than 2 minutes in and I already like this guy more than 99% of youtube reviewers

[matto]

This was the A7Siii of A7Siii Reviews.

Gerald is a legend.

[EinzMY]

Who needs dxomark when we have Gerald Undone. Extensive dynamic range tests on day 1. Great work.

[KaganTech]

This is the only A7SIII video anyone needs to see! So complete!

[LoverOfTech]

18 mins in and I am clapping with legit tears of joy for Sony right now👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

[Wintergatan]

Everytime you said "i can make a whole video about that if you like" i was like Yes Please

[connormccaskill]

A Technical MASTERPIECE... is this video.

Since this camera will most probably become the industry workhorse for upcoming years -- yes, please, a separate video on exposing and post workflow would be much appreciated.

[PracticalEffectsGuy]

When Gerald undone is even more detailed than the actual sony announcement <3

[showcase-me]

Canon has Peter with: "PhHWhuat's up"
Sony has Gerald with a technical breakdown of the camera down to the arrangement of the quarks inside the protons.
I take this kind of launch ANY day!

[TeamAPS]

What a legend. You make the best camera reviews on YouTube, hands down.

[carlobesasie]

Jeez, how is it possible a real human being can gather, and spit out so much useful info in one sitting, AND is actually not annoying to listen to. Best reviewer out there, bottom line.

[michaelgabriele]

This was probably the best review of any product I've seen on Youtube.

[andyhk]

"Let me know if you'd like me to make..."

Yes Gerald. Always yes.

[ThisIsTechToday]

Camera conspiracies is gonna run out of content now 😂

[curtisjudd]

I don't need yet another camera, and I don't have any Sony lenses, but this was a fascinating watch - excellent review, Gerald!

[mikesteck]

Gerald, seriously you and Josh kill it. Balanced, lab test facts & practical applications and examples mean the world to production creators. Not having the resources to make mistakes to ‘learn by’, many of us draw on your expertise and non-fanboy allegiance to make huge financial decisions regarding the directions for glass and supportive kit, which a camera decision will drive. Thanks so very much for your dedication & craft!
