DPReview TV: Sony a7 III review

[@stalman]

I could have watched 10 more minutes of this, and congrats on the move guys! And it’s pronounced DPeeps

[@iamivar]

Tyler Stalman same here, at first is was thinking that 19:20 would be quite the sit but now I’m surprised it’s already finished!

[@dandonovan1]

I thought it was a little short as well! Not sure if it is because the content is engaging or if it really was a shorter review.

[@jimmyhidalgo2680]

Tyler Stalman DP REVIEWIES!!

[@badoukhan8211]

Congrats guys! I’ve always been a fan of you both. There’s a reason DP brought you onboard so please maintain your style. Please do more lens reviews especially with the 3rd party developers like Tamron, sigma working to provide high quality more affordable alternatives to the big boys.

[@01banksjon]

"All of our balls our frozen" - Glad to see you guys haven't changed!! :D

[@wikedwhich1]

but freezing balls need to warm up by now

[@hidekigomi]

Who just subscribed this channel because of Chris and Jordan - I did

[@niccollsvideo]

Thanks so much Hideki! You've been one of our long time supporters and we really appreciate it. Chris@DPRTV

[@dannycastro1826]

lol.. i did. Chris and Jordan are awesome!

[@JacquesGaines]

fo sho!

[@hidekigomi]

Sorry, Chris!! Ugh, no idea why I clicked "dislike" by error and didn't notice until now! Lots of love to you and Jordan!

[@Amsyar00]

Tbh i didn't realize this wasnt the camerastore channel..... subs after reading your comment

[@VipulDK]

Congratulations Chris and Jordon! You two are an amazing combo for reviewing the camera on two important areas - image and video. I have been a fan for a long time and probably watched every single video you guys made so this is a step forward. You both are highly professional, fun to watch and most importantly unbiased. The value of DP Review as a company just increased. They are lucky to have you on board. Best of luck!

[@niccollsvideo]

Thank you so much for your support of the years Vipul! We really appreciate it and hope to deliver great videos for our loyal fans and new audience.

[@SBBLURAY1]

Great partnership. Happy to see you guys doing well.

[@JeahnLaffitte]

Watched this video when buying the a7iii and watching again after getting the a7iv just to see how far we’ve come ❤️

[@tyroney2]

Please use your influence to get DPReview to use *ONE* master lens for ALL 35mm FF cameras (an Otus 85mm for instance), ONE for APS-C (an Otus 85mm for instance), and really, just ONE master lens per sensor format in general. The various lenses used by brand really screws up the consistency of the image comparisons- especially since it’s a SENSOR test. 🤢🤮 Great show guys!

[@kevinevans651]

AWESOME Stuff guys - always liked what you 2 did - now you've moved up another level - Keep up the great work guys!

[@cameraconspiracies]

Solid debut ;)

[@AkHiLb87]

Loved the video, thank you! Clears up the dilemma on which camera to consider upgrading to next!

[@bala1000mina]

Very helpful and informative review! Thank you so much! God bless you all and good luck!

[@parkshilliard]

I follow the hosts, not the channel. But will continue to follow TCS and the new hosts - at least for a couple of months. That said, Chris and Jordan are the talent and DP Review has more resources than TCS. My only concern is objectivity - DP Review is, after all, an Amazon company. Not a fan of Amazon - my home town of 600,000 no longer has a camera store where I can hold a camera in my hand or make a quick purchase of a filter, battery, or flash, partially due to Amazon. Prefer to buy locally. Am sure, however, that Chris and Jordan are getting a significant increase in pay. Keep faithful to objectivity guys!

[@TheJustindolbear]

Came to here because I love your videos. I'm subscribed

[@someshalwe5841]

In new firmware update they add time lapse option

[@HappyGrl41]

Great job on the video. I think this is a going to be a great move for you guys!

[@emmanuelkofyagyapong6382]

That time laps was amazing how did you do it?

[@mikedemo]

Great review as always. Congrats on the move.

[@georgedamis2495]

All the best and keep up the good work

[@imAnsar]

my image through the EVF looks magnified compared to what I see on the LCD on my A7III. any idea why ?

[@errolsmith5634]

Sony Is no longer 2nd to canon's Dual pixel ... they have just overtaken them bro.

[@aninda2002]

A9 is expensive will a7iii with sony FE200-600 be a better option than nikon d500 with nikon 200-500 for bird photography

[@bernios3446]

Canon and Nikon will start so sweat with their own forthcoming mirrorless systems. Will be very hard to offer something as good or better, at an affordable pricepoint.

[@MaksimYuryev]

Great first episode guys!! 👌 loves the intro (and everything else) congrats on the new venture, I’m really excited for you guys!

[@thatjordandrake]

Thanks Max!

[@luckynever8208]

the quality of production is incredible fantastic new partnership

[@joshuatatro4503]

My thoughts exactly. The grading, framing, audio, tripod & gimbal use - everything feels really on-point. Even the scripting feels better-paced and more on topic, but there's still humor. I sincerely hope every video hits this level of polish.

[@thatjordandrake]

Thanks! The extra time to shoot these episodes should give every episode a new level of polish! Jordan @ DPReview TV

[@cameralabs]

A very cool move, especially as it means I now finally have more subs than Chris and Jordan! Er, for about another three hours. Good luck fellas and see you soon. x

[@jryn007]

I love your rap featuring with Kai ... but you never do that on your own channel :( LOL

[@chrisfeatherstone9691]

And Gordon Laing with the smack down haha 😆

[@Cagey7531]

There's a shift on the horizon for sure, I never subbed to DPR in the past, and here I am ... they knew what they were doing

[@niccollsvideo]

Thanks Gordon! See you very soon. Enjoy your viewer dominance over us, you deserve it. Chris@DPRTV

[@cameralabs]

I'm not sure you'd welcome much more of my rapping!

[@Gary_W]

24 mega Niccolls?

[@WildBikerBill]

Frightening thought...a DPReview hostile takeover... ;-)

[@youngalwyn1124]

bajigurwedangronde “ . . . this 24 mega-nickel sensor . . . “ 😂 What a way to launch their first video with dPreview!

[@mattli911]

LOL, I was like wait... did I hear that right?? haha

[@guyjordan8201]

15:27 --- Pinky and the Brain.

[@markwang77]

Please tell me you’ll still have your year end ‘best of/worst of’ with drinking games...or is that a no-no now that you’re corporate? lol - new subscriber

[@niccollsvideo]

Were gonna keep doing those for sure. Thanks so much for the subscriptions! CHRIS@DPRTV

[@xWood4000]

You held your word, yay

[@The22Healer]

How has this been four years? Such an informative and entertaining camera review. This is what sealed the deal for me deciding to buy an A7iii and with no regrets. Great to see y'all still going at it and off to new adventures. Thanks Chris and Jordan!

[@LurkerPatrol5]

You took the words right out of my mouth. I went from a canon rebel XSi to a sony a7ii after watching the camerastore review of it, but after seeing this video I knew I had to switch to the a7iii and I never looked back. Glad to see other people going through the same experience/revelation lol

[@buyingonabudget1916]

We will miss the intro music and "welcome to tcstv"

[@MrZombs123]

Same here... ☹️

[@PostColorGear]

It will still be there :) Just different hosts.

[@thatjordandrake]

That track is 'The Legend' by my old band 'Platinum Alibi'. The track is on iTunes. Jordan @ TDPReview TV

[@jasonwolf7767]

I agree.

[@AstanaYuana]

Sameeee

[@DarrylUK]

Congratulations on joining DPReview guys. Previous subscriber on The Camera Store TV and now subbed to DPReview. I unsubbed when Kai and Lok left DigitalRev, it shows the power of strong hosts. Here’s looking forward to some great DPReview content.

[@niccollsvideo]

Thank you so much. We need the support to grow this channel and we thank you for it. Chris@ DPR TV

[@dslrvideoshooter]

New digital home, same excellent content from two smashingly handsome faces.

[@thatjordandrake]

Thanks Caleb!

[@Gary_W]

Wowwwww Chris and Jordan!! Wowwww, I must be in heaven now. So stoked for the future of DPReview in KZbin.

[@alexbalansay]

Please keep the 'Unsung Cameras of Yesteryear' series going, too :)

[@GetOutsideYourself]

You know you're Canadian when you can't be bothered to fix your windscreen.

[@niccollsvideo]

Ha! Yah no point here. Two minutes out on the highway and its cracked again. Plus it adds mojo to the car. Chris@DPRTV

[@patbartholick7845]

Or when you call it a windscreen🤦🏼‍♂️🇨🇦🥌

[@spud1252]

You no your a canadain when theirs 4feet of snow and you still drive to work

[@raskolnikov1873]

I'm Canadian and I have no idea what a windscreen is.

[@mrgclips]

"... lenses will be a LITTLE BIT more expensive ... " - LITTLE BIT??? 🤣

[@HarrisonBroadbent]

'no one will use this for vlogging' - challenge accepted my friends ;) PS. congrats and good luck at DPreview!

[@Tornn222]

Why did he say that?

[@16-bit-trip5]

The Mega-Niccolls race has begun!

[@CallMeChato]

You now have the most authoritative photo channel. Great job. I would like a few more tech conclusions from the dp lab. And too bad you didn’t have much green to shoot but The Sony greens are bad enough to stop me from buying this camera.

[@tommihommi1]

1. turn off the stream 2. be early on this

[@juanquispe3494]

The biggest surprise of this video is that Chris and Jordan aren't married to each other.

[@niccollsvideo]

It's a common-law arrangement but I still don't see a ring on this finger! Chris@DPRTV

[@BenjaminSandness]

The most welcome surprise is that the wardrobe has not changed. Still wearing the cryptic/mysterious "Better" shirt. Never change guys.

[@Tekgila]

Coming from TCS channel

[@thatjordandrake]

Welcome! Jordan @ DPReview TV

[@daviddeborja3897]

I laughed pretty loud when you commented "all our balls are frozen" Though I agree cuz I also live in Calgary

[@photographerjonathan]

Congratulations Chris and Jordan, , I would like to hear more about how this change came about, did Dpreview ask you guys out of the blue ? please fill us in on some details, and is the Camera Store going to replace you guys and keep putting out videos ? and Please try to be the first to do a review of the New Tamron 28/75 f2.8 E mount, and maybe a comparison with the GM on an A7r lll, sharpness, contrast, focusing, resolving ability

[@niccollsvideo]

Its something we've been working on for awhile. We certainly hope TCSTV will continue to flourish with the new hosts, Dave and Ev, at the helm. I desperately want to get my hands on the new Tamron 28-75. Very excited to see how it performs. So far there new line of lenses have been decent performers. Chris@DPRTV

[@ManeeshSaxena]

Hey awesome footage on Panasonic GH5 ... 3 quick questions A. Which lens have you used on gh5 in this video ? B. is this camera good for vlogging too ? C. Nikon Z6 or Panasonic GH5 ?..Which one is better for photography tutorials ? as I also have photography channel in India and now thinking of upgrading my gears for KZbin videos. Great content ..love your videos

[@tigersea5968]

make dpreview great again

[@z352kdaf8324]

impossible

[@exinexi]

First step would be to change that old forum interface where you have to see each answer separately. I'm avoiding dpreview pages for that reason. 90s are long gone, guys.

[@z352kdaf8324]

>>exinexi 12 hours ago First step would be to change that old forum interface where you have to see each answer separately. I'm avoiding dpreview pages for that reason.

[@Orions_Journey]

Wow welcome to DPReviews guys... still waiting on canon full frame mirrorless 😂

[@niccollsvideo]

We are too! I'm skeptical but trying to maintain hope that it will be solid. Chris@DPRTV

[@jasonwolf7767]

Or Nikon! Z mount!

[@DustinBKerensky97]

Very good. Maybe throw in a quick bit of science from the DPReview guys on some of the features of new cameras. Some of us are fine with reading 10 page dissertations of how Back Side Illumination works and affects the sensor capabilities, but a quick 30 second run down of the basics would be helpful for many people. You could even have somebody at DPReview record it and edit it into the show.

[@chrisfeatherstone9691]

Congratulations Chris and Jordan! I’m glad you two are still going to work together and also excited for your future with the show!

[@TomasVillegas]

Now that you have that DPReview money, get your windshield fixed Jordan 😉

[@JoseSanchezbze]

congrats on the new gig, Jordan and Chris. This channel was boring, but i will be sure to watch the videos here now.

[@niccollsvideo]

Well we absolutely hope we can bring a new flavor to the channel. Expect the same combo of entertainment and information. Thanks for supporting us! Chris@DPRTV

[@photorectoby]

I am often asked which KZbinrs I watch - THESE GUYS! They are entertaining, they are SMART and they just consistently create great videos.

[@thatjordandrake]

Thanks Toby! Your show rocks as well!

[@NickGranville]

Mega-Nichols! Ha. Nice, I literally laughed out loud.

[@usama8513]

I see lots of good camera reviewers neglect the entry level models. If you can focus on them too, it would be great.

[@niccollsvideo]

Will keep that in mind Mohamad

[@TechInspected]

I was expecting Jordan to slam on the brakes when they were told to stay in Calgary there. Lol.

[@timotius]

I usually watch your reviews on tcstv channel. Now that you guys have moved to dpreview, I clicked subscribe button right away.

[@thatjordandrake]

Thanks! We'll make it worth the effort!

[@asebaninja]

This partnership sounds like the very best of both worlds. The best text reviews with the best video reviews. I just hope that you find something to do with your original channel though. Congrats :D

[@RichardsWorld]

I'm sorry you guys live in Canada. Anyways, how does the auto focus of this camera compare to the GH5? 😄

[@robertfordjr.3507]

All your "balls in Canada are frozen"? That is too funny just thinking about it. Good luck guys on this new journey. Wishing you continued success in all you do.

[@hedydd2]

For all we know the girls could have been in Canada too, because they are hot and they don't have……………err……….

[@fjhphoto]

Absolutely EXCELLENT review, guys! And congrats on becoming part of the DPReview team!

[@DJLsbVapes]

You guys are killing it, congrats!!!

[@DeepteshLovesTECH]

Good Bye DPReviewTV. Rest in Peace. Moving over to PETA PIXEL :)

[@StreetsOfVancouverChannel]

**CANADIAN PHOTOGRAPHERS AROUND THE COUNTRY UNITE** with this brilliant move on the part of DPReview... bravo!

[@liamriley9816]

Good to see my favourite youtubers moving up. Subscribed!

[@thatjordandrake]

Thanks Liam!

[@MatthewSaville]

1.) It's DPRers. 2.) It never ceases to amaze me that people just don't understand how folks like you thrive on being as unbiased as possible when producing a review. It's a sacred thing, to be able to produce content, whether reviews or tutorials, in which you can express your thoughts completely unrestricted. Oppositely, when someone is just flat-out pimping a product that they were given for free in exchange for review, (and that's the best-case scenario; it gets worse from there) ...then viewers can smell it from a mile away. So, kudos to you guys for scoring this gig. I'm honestly jealous! Keep up the good (and entirely unbiasned) content.

[@niccollsvideo]

Wow! Thanks so much Matthew. It really is our chief concern to maintain the integrity that DPReview is appreciated for. Chris@DPRTV

[@V4D2]

Chris Niccolls yeah...to me , the main reason to tune in to TCSTV was your bluntness..your honesty..and the fun. ;) There's no BS. And you are good at what you do. Now.., you've got to raise the bar ! This video is a good start ;). It shows!, that little bit more care (and time to be able to care, off course) and one can already see where you're aiming to improve . Cheers from Portugal . Keep those videos coming.

[@V4D2]

And suggestions?? Well...Do more run-down-comparisons in-between brands _

[@MatthewSaville]

Agreed, as a product reviewer myself, the number one thing that seems to be missing from most others' reviews is a sufficient amount of "alternative options" comparisons. Most of the time, unfortunately, this is because either the reviewer simply hasn't had much experience with the full range of options, or they don't want to displease whoever "supported" the review.

[@schtickshift4150]

Great review guys, I got a shock when I watched your last Camera Store video, my first thought was I hope you are not becoming bankers or something, but hey here you are with DPReview my internet home from home. I hope that you guys will contribute to the DPReview forums as well, especially to talk a bit more about cameras you have just reviewed. That would be the cherry on the cake as far as I am concerned.

[@MrHaodoudo]

I need sigma and tamron to poop out more native e mount lens to finalize my switch !

[@vicwithav]

Man, I really need to consider the GH5.

[@sannederks-eijkmans9129]

Went to tcstv, had a heart attack, went here & subscribed. Good luck from the Netherlands, guys! Just got the A7iii, so glad the review was mainly positive :-)

[@thatjordandrake]

Enjoy, it's an awesome camera! Jordan @ DPReview TV

[@TechnoMusicFreaks]

Sony a7 III or the GH5 better for making video? (in low light conditions for eg: in a club or festival at night)

[@mattypaxton]

You the best Chris and Jordan, this video is full of MegaNichols. Keep up the easter eggs! Good Luck Guys! :0

[@MichaelScoop1]

Hi, what lapel microphone and recorder are you guys using for the outdoor shot starting at 2:00 please? Thanks guys, keep up the great work

[@DeusExAstra]

I looked at the specs for my Canon camera, and guess what... it doesnt have even a single mega-niccoll! No wonder Sony is beating the crap out of Canon and Nikon.

[@niccollsvideo]

haha!

[@Tenerio]

Yes! Image Quality. We buy photo camera for the images, so Checkmate. Sony wins!!

[@cosyspeed1441]

Congratulations! It makes so much sense to team up with the DPReview lab team. We're looking forward to the upcoming videos ... and may your suitcase filled with inspirational Canadian snow always be with you! 🍻

[@wildside50]

This is a perfect example of a KZbin video that one should watch from start to end before forming an opinion, let alone commenting on. I'll admit, in the first minute or so of the video I was yelling at my screen "I live in Minnesota! The whole appeal of your show is how cameras perform in the real world; Northland edition!" Well of course that was the joke, and they're staying put. Not to mention their production values and real world conclusions remain the same stylistically and ideologically from TCSTV videos. Consider this a like and subscribe good sirs!

[@PostColorGear]

Hilarious opener! haha

[@cbflazaro]

A like from me for not hiding the obviously shortcomings of the A7III. Sick of videos that just say that the A7III is a a7riii with 24mp instead of 42 and ignoring the worse screen/evf/sealing etc just because they want to get clicks on their affiliate links

[@NarekAvetisyan]

Wow! I'm really glad for you guys. You are the perfect for DPReview.

[@djamalsaou7468]

What camera did you use to film this video , amazing colors , great job

[@JerichoWhiskey]

Great to see the duo stick together! By the way, I noticed when I subscribed maybe an hour ago it was 63k and now it's 65k!

[@Avto28]

Maybe Chris could stop referring to DPReview in third person, It is DPReview TV after all. That aside great job as always.

[@galenyang2285]

It is so good to watch the second A7III review from you guys finding there is more useful information than the previous one. Good to see you at DPReview and wish it all goes well.

[@digitalclips]

Always followed you guys will continue to do so, congrats to DP for getting you both. You are by far my favorite reviewers. My first impression of this review was that you started off focusing a wee bit too much on the A7iii compared to other Sony cameras. As a Canon user with a lot invested in L lenses and I bet there are a lot of us, I am looking at this from a Canon view point ( with Metabones 5 I assume) not from a Sony user perspective. Of course I have also watched all your videos from the Camera Store so you have covered a lot of this those topics but that was pre release. I hope you can revisit the use of L lenses on this body soon. As an aside I have to wonder if an a7iv is underway with articulating screen and fully interactive LCD .... Meanwhile I bet Canon have a few hard decisions to make. Lose a massive user base or stop holding back features and go mirrorless in a full frame.

[@BrennanMartin]

Hey Chris and Jordan, I've been a subscriber to the Camera store TV for years, I'm a filmmaker and I've loved watching your videos for reviews on lenses and cameras. Having seen so much of your stuff, this new video is the highest quality I've seen. It's obvious you guys have a bit more time to make your videos (like you said in your stream), and it really shows. Congrats on the new move, I think this is going to be a great partnership for you and DPreview which I knew about but never really visited. I'm subscribed now and I'm really looking forward to the new videos you guys will make. Bravo, and hopefully the subscribers shoot up like a rocket.

[@thatjordandrake]

Thanks Brennan, I really want to take the show's production value to the next level. Make a show worthy of Chris' hair. Jordan @ DPReview TV

[@LyndonPatrickSmith]

Nice to see you're keeping the great Canadian landscapes in your new format. We the viewers want the fishing episodes to continue! Or at least I do. All the best at DPR, and good luck with the 'frozen balls"! ; )

[@denault3985]

I was a little concerned when you two were leaving TCSTV...oh wait, there at the new DPTV.

[@kenyakking]

Congrats on the DPReview partnership! :-) So bottom line: would you replace your GH5 w/ the A7III? No LUT support and no fully articulated screen dampens my enthusiasm for it...

[@mike_dunno]

The new digitalrev

[@LegaVLG]

we didn't see the review of x-h1 on tcstv, so waiting for it hear. good luck on the new chanal.

[@thatjordandrake]

Stay tuned...

[@cliflowry9433]

Great move on the part of both you guys and DPReview. Looking forward to watching your reviews in the future and great review of this fantastic camera.

[@AllCarsUnited]

Defenitely a great backup camera to a a7r3 and a9. How does the "color science" compare the a7r3, a9 and 5dmark 4?

[@PeterMKent]

What what what?! Interesting move, it'll definitely bring me back to DPReview.

[@niccollsvideo]

Yay! Please subscribe and watch our show. We really appreciate the support! Chris@DPRTV

[@aaronlong6963]

No time lapse doesn't make sense to me. My phone note 10 plus has time lapse.

[@OutlawFarmersRC]

I already did a timelapse video with my A7III. Just set it to 1 frame per sec.

[@Viktalphotography]

These don't know shit about sony!

[@thatjordandrake]

I like extremely slow shutter speeds and full 24MP images for my timelapses, neither of which is offered in the S&Q mode. The previous Sony Playmemories app was great, shame to see all that functionality go away. Jordan @ DPReview TV

[@helidaho]

I haven't tried it with my A7III yet but isn't there a Sony app for phones now that allow you to remotely control the camera including creating timelapses? Thought I saw that somewhere?

[@jmmott1424]

Thank you for a top quality production and the best A7 iii review on youtube. Best of luck going forward.

[@agro0]

The subcount of this channel will now explode

[@reg171reg]

Not bad for a first up review. It’s almost like they’ve done this before.

[@tinjos8306]

Congrats! I hope you guys review the BMPCC 4K

[@dinotsi]

Holy cow!!! Amazing!!! Congrats guys!!! Looking forward to more awesome reviews!!!
