Sony A7SIII A7S3 10Bit 4K 50p/60p Video Test (Part 1)

Sony A7SIII 10 Bit 4K 50p/60p Video Test (Part 1)
Finally, it has been 5 years and its finally here. The Sony A7SIII. I’m going to break down into few different parts, just like the Canon R5 video. The first one is the 10-Bit 50p/60p video test, then the part 2 will be lowlight, then the final part is the 4K 100p/120p. So why I’m excited? As I have been filming with Sony since the original A7S. It has been 6 years now. I always love the lowlight performance of this camera. As I do a lot of weddings. Lowlight is very important for me. Having a good lowlight camera I don’t have to worry too much when there is a super dark candle light reception. (I know this one isn’t the lowlight, but stay-tuned for the part 2).

So what has changed comparing with the Mark II, its pretty much everything. You now get the 4K 120p, 10-Bit 4:2:2 colour. Awesome video AF, and high bitrate. And this is something I never saw in the last 6 to 7 years. For some reason, Sony always stuck with 100mbps. But finally not on this one.

So in terms of the workflow, it’s so much easier than working with Canon R5 footage. Even my iMac Pro didn’t struggle with 10-Bit 4:2:2 high bitrate files. It playbacks smoothly.

I would also like to thank Smallrig for sending the A7SIII cage to me to test out. And it makes my run and gun shooting a lot easier. Please check out their products, link down below.

[NafisAhmed]

beautiful soothing footage again DSI.. can't get enough of your videos.. looking forward to see those parts soon.. also can you share any tips for getting this type of soothing colors or soft dreamy feel to the footage.. ??

I still think the R5 videos look more cinematic, but these aren't bad... the Sonys are a bit more "video" looking.

[alitsuki]

Wow this camera is really good I might actually buy it

[ulisesleon]

0:36 - Right side, sorry 😂 I couldn't ignore. Nice video !!

[stephanes.]

I was thinking about the komodo but now... This video seems so beautiful

[frostyber]

Also what software do you use for the 8K 12 bit R5 footage? My 1080 Ti(just a placeholder until 3090) spits out errors when I try to encode it in Resolve at 8K.

[yirung]

The image is so clean 👌👌👌man! too bad I don’t have the money to buy one

[michaelsmallwood]

so stunning your footage is always impeccable, can I ask how you achieve such cinematic highlight roll off !

[nicolasjcapra]

Very nice shots! Just posted a video with the A7siii testing out the dynamic range in daylight and have been pleasantly surprised. Glad to see some more content that looks nice and cinematic.

[JosephOlar]

It sure turned out well looks pretty amazing in 10 bit
but playback on the web or through youtube does it drop to 8 bit?
Just out of curiosity
You still make excellent videos.
Cheers

[ChristopherIan]

What LUT did you use in this video? Lovely!

[caleb]

yeah, great, but... more DR stress test footage PLZ. Your grading is something!
Could you, please, tell, why all the footage looks a bit softer, then I expected?
Downloadable source will be GREATLY appreciated!!
