READ ME: Sorry for less b-roll than normal, I wasn’t able to shoot more because I unfortunately have Covid and had to use what I had at home since I don’t want to get the rest of the team sick too. The last few days have really sucked but the kids are getting better and it’s mostly my wife and I that are suffering the most. I hope your all staying safe and healthy!

Max, wish you fast recovery. appreciate your effort.

[NedyHonza]

What are the green lines in 17:54 please? Some sensor fail while recording? Video is fine, but I realised this. Can you explain? Thx!

[afaccon]

Max is that a dropped frame at 17:55 of your video? Is that an issue with the camera/card or rendering? Please let me know?

[dyong]

At around 17:53 there is a flash of colored bars on the lower half of the screen. I played it back to make sure its acutally in the video and it is. Why is that? Is that to help identify copyright infringement?

[IceTeaJay]

so it means a7iii 4k better than a7siii 4k in term of detail ? 11:49

[Prahatech]

I ended up getting both. Ditched my Nikon D850 and lenses. I used the R5 primarily for photography and the a7siii for video. I also think the RF lenses are better than the GM lenses albeit less variety but I am sure it will catch up to Sony.

[cogmission]

Wishing your family a full and fast recovery! Your videos have meant a lot to me, and I'm grateful for your generosity and knowledge!

[appleninjaever]

I'm getting the Canon R5 for stills (Photography) since this is my primary focus (70 %) and getting the Canon C70 for video ONLY. The beauty of this setup is they BOTH use RF Lenses! That is a huge selling point along with so many other positive reasons. The C70 DOES NOT overheat (built-in cooling fan) and can record in multiple different ways to the dual cards. It's a Super35 with Dual Gain Output sensor and with the Canon Speedbooster, you get Full Frame.

I might be wrong here but Apple may release codec acceleration of these more difficult codecs in their newly announced in-house, non-Intel CPU's tomorrow. 

Get well soon.

You've had it for 2 months and others like myself are still waiting for their preorder to

[BrandonEsparza]

I don’t understand why people on YouTube don’t just keep both. :) they surely have the money. Lol

[JCustom]

I don’t get why people keep comparing them. One is a dedicated video camera, while the other is photo based with video features. That’s like comparing a sports sedan vs a sports car

[juglenzwaan]

Sad to read that you and your family are hit by COVID. I wish you all a quick recovery. I am enjoying your all your videos. Take it easy Max, we can live with a few less videos from you for a few weeks.

[vasilyru]

Hi Max, now with M1 Max, would you change your mind on A7S3 vs R5? Thx!

[paulfairchild]

Interesting you like the image of the A7III better than that of the A7S III. Makes sense I guess given the former downsamples from a 6K image. Surprised the 10-bit color and 4.2.2. did not help sway things. Damn, that gives me pause in purchasing an A7S III now. I upgraded my A7S gen I to an A7III two years back. Will be very interesting to see what Sony does with the A7 IV.

[DarkPaadin]

Hi Max, Panasonic GH5 also shoots in 10bit 4:2:2, will it have difficulty in post production like the R5?

[DaphneIkingOfficial]

do u get the monitor and finder is warmer than the actual video when u compare it on an NLE? or perhaps my monitor and finder on the a7siii needs recalibration by Sony?

[DirectorCyclone]

side question lol. how much mm is ur Apple Watch? looks dope

[DarkPaadin]

What if you hook the R5 to Atomos Ninja V? Will it record externally at 10bit 4:4:4 without limit?

[lucky]

hey Max, where can i get those wall arts? they look dope!
