Nice work Jared, I really enjoyed that. Loads of good cutaways, nice editing, it's a lot of work, but looks great.

Can I just say that that “Air” video was insanely good

[@Ali-fl5mb]

I always look forward to your reviews, the TV-like production quality is so cool to see on youtube!

[@hiddenpk1]

Anyone else would have just thrown out a basic talking head review. Fro has to add some intense style and it is definitely worth the wait. The amount of planning you put into these is insane. Respec

How does the startup time compare to the older model? Especially after inserting a new battery and memory card.

[@prabhatsharma2097]

Hello sir i wanna ask a question... Does flange size really matters in cameras?

[@Neags]

anyone know this camera can take photos(stills) whilst recording video?

[@6gwilliams]

No camera is perfect for everything. I am loving my Sony A7R3 for most situations and subjects. I upgraded from my A7R2. I am a longtime pro and switched from Canon to Sony last January. Once I got into Sony mirrorless ,I could never go back. I prefer the features of the Sony mirrorless camera over all the high-end Nikon and Canon DSLRs. I am using Sony and Sigma lenses. But the choices here are a personal preference. Nikon and Canon users will do their best to support their allegiance. Cheers and thanks Jared for your efforts !

[@TomLally]

Ah cool! I should be converting to Sony a7riii what’s it like with the converters, I’ve got the sigma art 35mm for canon. What’s your adapter?

[@6gwilliams]

Tom Lally, The Sigma MC-11 (Canon mount to Sony E Mount) adapter works great on Sony mirrorless cameras.

[@6gwilliams]

Mike Zupancic ,no one is saying anyone should spend for two systems. Many Nikon and Canon pros are switching systems though. Sony shooters are NOT switching back to Nikon or Canon. Cheers.

[@TomLally]

Awesome! Thank you for that. I'll just have to see. Exciting time.

[@Vaptomwen]

Gerald Williams That’s not true, some are leaving Sony , to other brands & yes even Canon

[@Somecooltech1]

Man what an epic review Jared. Nice work! I liked it so much I turned on the notifications. Please do more videos about Sony cameras. I love all the tips and tricks you show as well as the review. Keep doing videos exactly like this except maybe a bit shorter.

[@stevenwaldstein2249]

No question you and Stephen created the best video from the Sony Sedona Photo sessions. I've seen a lot of the other reviews and I am really impressed with the approach you took and the information you end up sharing. Well done. Thanks for the extra effort.

[@froknowsphoto]

Thank you.

[@darkshaman7087]

Hi there can you help me out please I want a camera for night sky scenery photos and for birds in flight, I have looked at the Sony a7 iii and the Nikon 810 but both seems to have their faults when used over time so I’m stuck to what to buy

[@tedmanasa907]

Thanks for the in-depth discussion and review. I’m shooting an a9 now, but am planning a safari and thinking about resolution. We print 30x50” and it seems like resolution would have produced noticeably different results. If you had to choose, would you take an a9 or an a7riii on safari?

[@SortOfEggish]

You have the best quality, most knowledgeable videos exploring the features of different gear, and the critiques are always honest and clear, I commend you sir.

[@prestonlhouse]

Jared, I have a question. On a DSLR we have the option of using spot focus. Picking just one focus point. Is that an option on mirrorless bodies?

[@tonymurphy9112]

Holy Moly! Super sharp👍📸

One of the best review!!!

On my a7r iii ISO goes to 50. Is it ok? i live In Dubai is it because of region or what please explain.

[@codycarlson3299]

Godfrey Jemand nah jackass I was just leaving an honest opinion on a video? Jared has killer real world reviews. As far as I'm concerned, no one else puts in as much work he does with this type of content. But yeah man all of my 0 subscribers and I are totally going to benefit from the comment I left on his video. Imma be the next Neistat after this one. GG.

[@LucianaandOgi]

I almost clicked off when i saw 41 minutes, but I am so happy I didn't. Hands down the best a7riii review so far, I also love the little handy tips you throw in there. Definitely clicking that subscribe button.

[@LucianaandOgi]

Dear Godfrey, you are absolutely right, photography is a hobby for me. Like everything else in life, I am constantly learning and improving my skills, thats why a lot of us come to youtube, udemy ect. to learn something new. I do think Jared is cool, thats why I watched the whole 41 minute video. Take care.

[@petjaalbrecht]

Mate, production value has taken a big step up, loving your work.

[@dr.sommer5069]

One question pls. Which lens did you use for the astro shots. Thanks for your answer. Great review👍

[@aristones7132]

Hi nice review! What version of Lightroom are you using? I know some older versions won’t support the A7riii .ARW files. Thanks!

[@steveglassvideo]

one of your best vids to date.

[@steveglassvideo]

"Hyperbole = exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally". That doesn't mean that hyperbole is insincere. It's a form of gratitude. It's like when you say to your mother, "Mom, you're the best". Using your logic you can't ever say that. But if you take your head out of your ass you'll realize that is a very nice thing to say to your mother and that from your perspective you appreciate her. So I suggest you re-orient your head and contemplate the definition of "hyperbole". A common form of appreciation certainly in many cultures around the world.

[@turkishexpress]

Your explanation on changing from auto-focus to single-focus confused me a bit. Does this camera not allow back button focusing?

[@Zakalwe-01]

*Superb* review Fro. You’ve put those other guys to shame. Would it have swayed me from my final choice? Probably not, because I’ve had four FF e-mount Sony’s already, but I really enjoyed the entire video. Great film work and editing, and *highly* entertaining presenting.

[@chana94ru]

Can this sony a7R III can shoot HDR like canon 5D mark 4?

[@PaulCarterama]

Thanks as always for the great content. I have a question. I switched from canon to Sony a7riii and I have the 24-70 and the 70 200 2.8.. When you were shooting portraits with the 70-200 did it ever focus hunt. I have talked to sony multiple times and they have been no help on this problem I seem to be having and only on the 70-200. Again, thanks!

[@glenconverse1327]

The BEST review of the Sony a7Riii I've seen thus far. Thanks

[@mohammadrafin8243]

How can I improve the dynamic range of my canon T7i? please tell me.It pretty much sucks

[@oliviafrantz9871]

Hey Jared Polin, what would you say about getting the Sony a7riii camera but using Nikon lenses for a while until being able to afford the sony lenses?

[@kamalraj1447]

Which is better camera for photography? Nikon d850 or sony 7r !!!?

[@danielpankoke]

Hey Jared, thanks for your great videos I learned so much from you. I have a question about the the a7riii burst. At the moment I use an A7 and an a6300 and when I take pictures in a burst mode the need a lot of time to safe them and I can't review them. Does the a7riii or the a9 the same issue? Thank you so much. See you in your next video Daniel from Germany 🤙🏽

[@rialbb]

Where are the I SHOOT RAW normal t shirts that say + JPG underneath that?

[@edemkounou7734]

Hi Jared, is it normal that my A7riii EVF isn't as clear as the LCD?

[@EliAcuna]

Bro! You just went in. Love the review. Super detailed and so much content. Great images.

[@froknowsphoto]

thanks Eli.

[@gordonjohnston684]

In camera stabilisation! Would you have any issues if you use a lens with image stabilisation as well. (turn on)

[@froknowsphoto]

nope, it would be even better. It knows which one to use.

[@edshotsdotcodotuk]

the banding: isn't also caused by the frequency of the LED lighting vs the shutter speed? i shoot my a6300 and a7rii bodies at speeds that are in sync with the lighting. similar to shooting subject in front of a projector. had to do the same with my panasonic g6 and gh4 bodies so it can't be just a read out issue. haven't used the a9 so can't speak for that.

[@r.derrickthomas2909]

Thanks for the review Jared. I got my A7Riii Friday and have taken some shots. It is a great update from the A7Rii and I couldn’t be happier. Still love my Nikon gear and stills quality with the D810 but the weight difference makes me choose Sony kit every time I travel.

[@Yunhaisongtao]

Hi Jared, what’s your thoughts for this camera to do night long exposure? Big sensor makes lots of noise?

[@julekim]

How's the autofocus speed on this Sony vs the Nikon z7? I tried the z7 this past week with the adapter to a Sigma, and the af was hunting and hunting, or just missing outright. Kind of disappointed.

[@phanxquang]

Hi Jared, what is the color thing do you attach on your top of camera when you shoot from the helicopter? Thanks

[@stepheneckert4006]

[@tezamonet]

What caused that distortion on the van? Is there anyway to avoid situations like that with the Sony camera?

[@jacquescuster7789]

hello Jared, I know the selection of lenses in the sony lineup is not the best, but besides that; can you recommend them as a lens that is as good as a Canon lens?

[@itzik_levi]

I'm a beginner and wanted to ask which camera is best for weddings, I'm looking for something that's easy to operate and good quality pictures Sony a7R III Sony a7 III Nikon D850

[@markdbey]

Finally!! I've been waiting on this one! Thanks Jared and team! I'm getting the A7R iii next month... Leaving my 5d Mark iii behind.... :(

[@VictorNightSong]

Does the eye autofocus also work with EF lenses? thx

[@julio740721]

I have made that trip a month ago but now I'm back to canon again! Test it first if you have the opportunity! that's my advice to you!

[@j5daniel182]

what made you go back?

[@markdbey]

julio saint Just Ribeiro thanks man! I've really been torn between the A7riii and the 5d4... But honestly I feel like the Sony is offering WAY more for the money with minimal drawbacks... Yes it will take some getting use to, but in the end, I think it'll be worth it...

[@MyMomSaysImSmart]

Victor NightSong With up to date firmware and the latest adapters (with up to date firmware), and “modern” canon lenses, yes, eye af will work. Just not as well as with native lenses.

[@braydenweeks]

What color profile did you have set for it?

[@tristanjohn]

Thanks for this amazingly done review Jared! Sony's kicking some serious ass here. Anything on the wire about the a7S iii?

[@chargingbuffalo6037]

Jared, would you feel confident using the Sony for a client and relying on the eye autofocus system or would you position the focus point yourself? Thanks.

[@froknowsphoto]

Yes, I would feel confident using the eye af. I took a Sony a9 on a shoot recently because I need to be silent and the eye af did what I needed it to do.

[@chargingbuffalo6037]

That's impressive.....definitely a system I would consider moving into from my Canon, thanks.

[@navneetraman]

Really great cinematography steven 👍

[@henryjackson2271]

S/O to Stephen for the video editing! this was beautifully done.

[@justa2]

Always worth watching Jared's videos - firstly he makes me laugh and secondly he takes fantastic pictures and I'm hoping to learn from him !

[@MrBarismutlu]

I want to consult you professionally. Which camera is better for wedding photography ? Sony A7R3? Nikon D850?

[@suryansh2402]

Sir y don't u make a comperision video for Sony 7rmkiii nd the Fuji film xt2 .. plz make a real world review fr it.

[@titaniumwaffle4304]

I have the sony a7riii it was a massive upgrade from my canon 7d. AF isn't important to me because I only use vintage manual glass I love the pentax SMC lenses 50mm f1.2 just looks so good

[@sosomelodies659]

It's 2020 and the Sony A7R III is still relevant and in demand. The D850, allthough still great, have aged a lot. Contrast detect af, 155 af points, slapping mirror, 8fps burst, slow video af, big heavy, and dslr's are dying plus the F-mount has been replaced by the Z-mount. Interesting turn of events in my opinion.

[@ESKATEUK]

I’d never choose mirrorless until I have no choice. It just has no character, everything is just overly simple and easy. It takes away from the reward of putting in the effort to get great images. I have a Canon 5D mkii, and have used a canon eos R6, and obviously it’s superior technically, but I miss the size, the weight, and feel of using a DSLR. The sound of the mechanical shutter…

[@lebanese4you]

What brand circular polarizer do you recommend ?

[@samiturunen5335]

Which Sony video profile you used to shoot?

[@stelioskarakasis4809]

great review! but could you make a review where you will use the r3 or the r2, generally a full frame sony camera and adapted lenses only?
