Dude as I sort through the footage and photos we shot I am continually impressed by the camera and what it can do. Yes it has limitations in ISO but within those limits the camera is a beast

Global Shutter is THE thing for VFX work. You track accurately in 3D, match moving, and many other things. Things that were possible only on film back in the day (or for Nolan 😀today)! If the FX6 ii / FX3 ii will have this, it will be a beast redefining CINEMA!!!!

Replace the word "cinema" with "video" and most of what you've said is spot on and most of your shots look great. Can definitely see the global shutter at play in some shots.

Were you shooting at a base frequency of 50p or 60p? Definitely looks like it in places.

About the only video so far addressing the video capabilities of the A9III. I already own two A1 bodies, so good to go for stills.
Really looking forward to seeing what the global shutter provides in terms of very smooth video footage...put on a cine lens...add a black pro mist 1/4...should be pretty cool.
A little concerned about that ISO tho. Thanks for posting...

The camera though cleans out at 6, 400 ISO in SLog3 and seems to be pretty close to a real second base ISO with pretty good dynamic range. Check out Gerald Undone's review. Also that global shutter 120fps video is so good. My a7SIII 120fps, even at 7.7ms, isn't fast enough and could see some jello effect on rare occasions. My A7SIII will always be there for crazy high ISO scenes anyway, but this should be a daily driver.

I agree. Video, sports and journalism.

Every camera that film in 24fps is a cinema camera

I bought a ZV-E1 while back and was planning to use it alongside my a7RV but then I returned it to just sell the A7RV and get the a9iii, i'm still a little torn on whether I want to do this but it is nice to just have a single camera that can do it all

I feel like anything you shoot with a 300 2.8 is going to look good.

Those global shutter heli shots tho! 🔥🔥🔥

Looks like Sony got another winner and team great addition for team Sony players 🙌🙌🙌 great shots Jeven !! Happy 2024 !

The “marketing” is an intentional effort not to undermine the sales of their line of professional cinema cameras. No?

Beautiful work/enthusiasm gentlemen. Great storytelling! Sony should welcome the two of you to the ‘fold’.

Beautiful shots Jeven! Hanging out with Jake in Alaska had to be a blast!

I currently have an A7M4. It’s a great hybrid camera. Although I like to do panning shots and other fast camera movements and the rolling shutter is terrible. It has also gotten very warm after recording long events and I’m concerned it’s not a reliable option for these situations. So I’m looking for a second camera that is more video centric. The RED Komodo would be perfect except it’s not compatible with the E-Mount lenses and I’m too committed to the Sony ecosystem at this point.

The A9iii global shutter would certainly fix the rolling shutter issues I have been experiencing with my gear. Although, your Alaska trip probably isn’t the best test of how it handles heat dissipation… and I’m def concerned about the lack of dynamic range and ISO for shooting events. Im keeping my fingers crossed that the FX3ii announcement is around the corner and the perfect solution to these problems. But maybe I’m just dreaming! 🤞😅

Those helicopter shots tell me everything about the global shutter. Amazing 👏

[nabilahmedkhan]

Eagerly eagerly waiting for the A7Siv !!!

[barryobrien]

It's in a pretty competitive price range, so there are a lot of good cameras to choose from. With autofocus pretty much perfected and now the global shutter, let's hope Sony works on a competitive electronic nd filter to bring all of these compact cameras up to the level of their bigger brothers

[skyjunkiez]

nice video, thank you ! we have the A7 IV. We were impressed by the video quality <3, too.

[MK-Creator]

Thanks for sharing!!! 🙏
At 3:54 there are some strange artifacts in the trees to the left. Are they from the YouTube compression??

[jamesmitchell]

Great vid. I'm a hybrid sports shooter just changing to Sony from Canon and use 2 bodies. What would be the killer combo be (2 x a9III) or (1 x FX3 + 1 x a9III). Thoughts?
