when a camera has a problem with AF I think is not worth .I have 100V and the. AF is 4/10

✌.....

Great review, can you just turn down the sound of the artificial shutter in this camera or is it necessary to cover the speaker with your finger?

The man has either his head or his hat on backwards - can we take him seriously? not really

Great video ! Even though I don’t own the A9iii, it resonates with my experience. I switched from A7iv to A1, shooting mostly sports. The dials on the left shoulder are weird : my left hand is busy holding a big lens (70 200 f2.8 or 200 600), I have to stop shooting to operate these dials. I also use spot tracking as a standard and the A7iv couldn’t do that : 6 FPS and fixed spot is the limit for a somewhat acceptable hit rate. The A9iii is interesting for flash use, but I'll have to wait a few years until it gets to a reasonable price on the used market.

What's up with Rowan's accent and since when is he a photographer??

Oh man, the 120fps helps me create something similar to Apple Live Photo. Very nice!

I'm primarily a wedding photographer and I'm considering switching to Sony (from Canon). I keep leaning towards the A7RV because of the more advanced autofocus system. But I'm wondering, from people who have used both, is the focus system a big improvement over the A7IV?

your course has audio dubbed into Portuguese?

I got this camera for one main reason: - the global shutter is perfect for electronic silent shooting (with no banding) I have a A7iv and previously used electronic shutter on a film set during a quiet scene as I was tight to the camera op, boom pole and actor but then ended up with banding during some scenes as the location was an old building with lights that had terrible frequency, if only I had this camera back then. More mega pixels would be nice but 99% of the time I compose my shots with lenses and positioning in mind that I rarely crop in during post production. High ISO personally doesn’t worry me these days with how well modern day cameras perform and how well editing software is in fixing photographs of needs be.

Still amazes me how a company with its own display department can have the worst back screen of all manufacturers in the professional segment while having the best EVF.

Great video as usual Magic, thank you so much. ❤

How about 4K 120fps video instead? The workflow and data space for 120fps raw photos seems intense.

It seems to me that Sony A1 is the best option for today, in terms of ratio. price is quality. Sony A II, for those who can afford it. Sony A I, in the secondary market, costs a reasonable amount of money. Thanks for the video. I'm sorry for my English.))

At its price, this camera makes no sense for wedding photography. I mean, the Harry Potter photos in a gallery are kinda nice but definitely not worth the money they ask for this camera. Talking about the dynamic range being OK... Yes, it is when you shoot outside. What hardly anyone mentions is that the DR goes down when the ISO goes up. And if it's just OK at the base ISO, we all know what that means... Btw, good for Sony, they finally realized that shooting wide open on a bright sunny day with their fast lenses at ISO 250 and shutter speed of 1/16000 is impossible and decided to fix it.

Nice work

4:00 the bottom dial, is useful when you want to shoot animals or nature or do some macro, i quite often use it., and that is faster than use customization and lose buttons important for other things. I personally wish this dial was available in all sony cameras and there was just a way to disable it in the menu if you dont want it. Literally my best purchase, i just love it. For a decade i admired global sensor cameras, and now i could have it in a small form factor. The only issue i have with it, is the missing video features from other alpha cameras, like; Shutter Angle, and anamorphic de squeeze. I wish also you had could do 1/16000 in video, since that way i could expose better if i want to maintain the base log iso of 2000(i just lower it, still, minimum iso is 500 on log) and also a 6k mode and not the 4k oversampled from 6k, that would help a lot in post. It would be great if you could use BT headphones and connect them to the camera either for sound management or to have a extra mic with some headphones. BTW, you cant connect headphone to the 3.5mm jack to hear a shutter sound from there, if you have it in silent mode, the camera doesnt make a sound and neither the headphone connected and if you have sound on, the shutter sounds in the camera, not the headphones :V I would really recommend people to buy the vg-c5 vertical grip if they want more battery life, it last longer than using the 2 batteries separetly and better heat management.

So you cannot map drive mode to a custom button? Thanks for the video.

A9 first gen was enough

Why is there an anti -flicker option if the camera won’t get banding from light? Weird?

I splurged on the 35 GM and wow - it's the best lens I've ever used. I happen to love the focal length too. There are other really great lenses, but OMG this one is a unicorn - a desert island pick for sure.

there is another positive thing on this camera..... no shutter problems, errors, failures..... I have 3 A7IV and two of them have had shutter failures, one at 400.000 shots, and the other at 77.000 shots..... so having no shutter at all its a big benefit in my experience... :D

can you connect two cameras to the phone through Bluetooth?

where did you get the thumb grip?

I got an A9iii since a few weeks and the performance is amazing (coming from an A7IV). I really do miss the mechanical shutter though.

I've been considering switching from Canon to Sony A7RV. About how many medium RAW files do you get on a 256GB card. Assuming around 5k-6k... but would love confirmation. Thanks!!!

After using a9iii for a year, DR and high ISO is actually fine, backlit shots are still amazing, and the only major downside is just the 24MP. For me, 1 x a1II and 1 x a9III would be the best of both worlds, plus the a9III is still the better video camera vs. a1II, with 6k oversampled 4k60 and better latitude.

I can't wait to do the update!

Of course the firmware v3.0 dropped literally the same day as this video ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Now we get the full 1/80,000 at all apertures :)

I didn't know PD anchors were in colors other than red.

can i import my sony a7iv raws on iphone and use styles on them?

This is lens for FF camera or MFT? and can I put nd filters on its?

Imagine you fork over thousands for a wedding photographer and they show up with their phone? smfh

Where did you get the thumb grip. I can not find one that fit

Fuji handels the mid- and highlights very good. Maybe underexpose the Sony a notch.

I lost my data from the Angelbird type A 330GB card. It just shows "Unable to display," and the file disappears after restarting the camera.

I would love to watch a video about how you pack for outdoor weddings:) what you take with you and how you act at such a wedding. Greetings from Poland

I would be very curious to compare the Sony 85mm 1.4 with the Sigma 105mm 1.4 I have never held this lens in my hand. But I have been impressed many times by the photos I have seen on the net. They seem to be close to 85mm1.4, but they have something special about them. I don't know if it is because it is a slightly larger focal length. Or maybe the large diameter of the lens elements creates magic?

Super informative video. Especially about how lines are affected by 35 vs 50 mm! At 12:14, any chance you could tell or make a video on how you edited that photo? I try to figure out how you get that graded look without it looking fake. Just one of the most amazing portraits I have seen.

No photos shot with the sony 20mm 1.8 g? I am surprised. I am less surprised that you kept the 50/1.2 instead of the 1.4, but at least you were considering to switch, is that right?

We have a very similar workflow when it comes to culling and editing, I use Aftershoot, but I basically don't use it to cull, but I use their "AI assisted culling" because it identifies the faces, shows them larger on the side and makes it easy when selecting the formal guest pictures. But I am basically hand picking the shots I want. I have also tried AI culling on a bunch of weddings and I'm never very happy with it. After I cull I have AS do the base edit and then I do the final run like you. P.S.- It was nice seeing you in person at the WUN in Lisbon! Cheers!

I asked a few other youtuber photographers, and they all recommended to not use anamorphic lens for photography. Could you care to answer if you would recommended or not recommended as well? It looks good here as I'm watching your video but everyone else says to not use it. ? Is this a new thing no one has really done for regular street photography using these lens?

4K 25 to 60 FPS FF no croping and *no binining! * 4K 25 FPS at HEVC, pixel reading like a9III to avoid banding at led lighting!

please have a live photo review session like last year 😍

Good to see you bro.

Very useful info throughout, especially in the workflow, software sections. Kudos!

06:35 he thought he's real "Magic" from NBA or what from is he hiding 😂?!

nice video. alway good to know what you used on you shoots. Your sony now has a crackticulated screen. :D badumtssss

I love my Rose Anvil Bandit dual harness. I found it way more comfortable than the Holdfast Gear (it kept pinching my inner-arm skin)

You’re amazing I will be shooting webbing this year. With your help thanks
