Hi. Just want to ask. Whats the best cheap camera for beginner that would you recommend? Thank you! Your vids are so inspiring.

[@Anon54387]

US$3,500 for a 12 MP camera? Thanks, but no.

[@ricardovera116]

Pierre Lambert your energy and love for photography is just absolutely legendary brother. Such an inspiration. Thanks for all that you do

How do you have so much money to travel everywhere? Amazing work though and your photography is some of the coolest stuff out there.

[@DavidGoods]

Just purchased my A7s III and I love it! I almost always have the ISO at either 640 (during the day) or 12,800 at night time and the footage is almost never noisy! It's truly a remarkable camera :)

[@JordanHexem]

Dude I’m so excited to get my a7siii I’m so excited for the lowlight cause I LOVE shooting at night

[@paddington2063]

let me guess: A73 for all-rounder, A7R3 for photography, A7S3 for video

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

In real life, because I always travel by helicopter .... ??

[@Pierretlambert]

Hahaha 😂 yes don't everyone?

[@houseofintent]

I really want to get this camera but as a hybrid shooter that 12 megapickles is such constraint. Great camera for video but not so much for photos (which is expected so no harm there), I just don't like how a lot of youtubers are downplaying the low mp for photos and saying "you don't need to worry about mp when taking photos" or it's "good enough" because it isn't. a $3400 camera with 12mp is not good enough for photos (this camera isnt made for photos) so just tell it how it is. The a7sIII is exceptional at videos but it isn't great or even good enough for photos at that price. When a lot of youtubers say similar things like this, it makes me question if they have alternative motives. Great for video, bad for photos. As a hybrid shooter, I'm still sold on it. It doesnt seem like I'm trying to steer photographers to this product when it's not for them. Just my two cents :)

[@Pierretlambert]

Thanks! Tell me more. What makes you think 12MP is not good enough for photos?

[@houseofintent]

​@@Pierretlambert Mainly when it comes to editing. You have a lot more flexibility in the details with a higher mp count. Plus, when you take into account the price, 12mp isn't good enough but again this isn't a photo camera so it doesn't really matter. I'm hoping most of the a7siii's features are carried over to the a7iv when ever they release that, probably right before the next pandemic happens. haha

[@Pierretlambert]

@@houseofintent yeah hoping a7iv is similar too. Tbh for editing 12MP are great because those have a lot more info than the higher MP. Why? Because each pixel is bigger on the sensor. So I end up having more dynamic range to edit. Now if you want to crop yes it's not a good resolution to start with :)

[@houseofintent]

​@@Pierretlambert interesting because when I edit portraits, I tend to want more mp for the details not so much the dynamic range of the larger pixels. I'll have to compare it with my a7iii once I get it.

[@joshuareveles]

nothing but facts

[@patrol373]

A7 III was released in February 2018 over 2,5 years ago and you can still recommend it despite technology upgrades in other cameras. It only shows how way ahead of competition Sony was with A7 III back then.

[@jhgfghjfuzrtfchchghgf]

Thanks for also taling about the downsides of each camera and not glorifying them all the time. they all have their pros and cons

[@user-vk2rp6lc6e]

The video color and feeling we get is very similar to A7Ⅲ and just added little 3D looking taste to it. That's added CG look is not too cinematic for me but I am sure Sony has improved a lot. I would like to still wait for A7Ⅳ they might come with more resolution like oversampling from 6K and 4K 60fps and much lower than this price etc.

[@CANNOTDIEFILMS]

That intro with the helicopter had some of the best night time footage I’ve EVER SEEN-even on feature films!

[@zakiradi450]

but when is it coming? tired of these vlog camera rumours. need a7iv 😒

[@cinialvespow1054]

problem is sony dosen't have much reason to release the 4 right now, the a7iii is more than enough for most people and is still difficult to compete with. and for photo only nerds they have the riv

[@CtTano]

Man, the footage at the beginning it was just insane, looked like a movie, I've loved it 😍😍😍

[@floetic]

If you have a moment.... with the inbuilt interval timer: is it the same as previous Sony cameras where it only autofocuses for the first shutter release, with no option to (re)autofocus for each next frame? Thanks

[@dannygrau2983]

How well does the low light performance hold up at a frame rate at 60 frames per second?

[@MrLuckyAndrew]

5:28 man speaks truth!

[@ai-man212]

Honestly, this looks so much better than Red and Arri cameras and anything film-based. If you want this to look "analog", tape a magnifying glass to the lens. Instant crap, as muddy as you film-heads love it. Seriously, use this as a base and then come up with a crappy lens to muddy it up. Now you've got that look you love.

[@cinialvespow1054]

why do you think it looks better than arri?

[@Kokurorokuko]

Why did you choose a Sony camera over Nikon or Canon?

[@Tokyo_Views]

Sony A7Siii looks like a beast. Also loving your channel! Stay safe!

Hey Pierre! Have you tried using the A7SIII with the Sony 24-70? Whats your opinion?

[@twentyfifthjt7888]

I was wondering, does the digital stabilization work with photos too? For context, I actually want the crop for the sigma dc dn apsc lenses fingers crossed the A7IV has this..

[@4sapphireb]

I have all 3 cameras you spoke of. I can see noise but not resolution and can’t tell the difference. I am a night shooter and love the high iso of the siii. Get a good computer with a riv or v. the noise on my a7riv is not good at night even at 10k

[@greasyflight6609]

[@brettrohlfingvideo]

This might be an odd question, but can you have the electronic level on screen when recording video? The R6 seems to not, and I do not like it. Also can the level be in the EVF too or just LCD? Thanks!

[@markshirley01]

Do you find the autofocus to be a advantage over the A73.

[@gregory71]

I keep seeing those red and black round attachments to cameras. What are those?

[@PaulMalovFishing]

Greg Pierce pretty sure they’re for a Rode mic but could be wrong

[@karan111987]

Hey, while video shooting, do we need an external monitor on a7siii or its articulating screen itself can fulfill the purpose? Thanks

it depends on what you need, for most the selfie screen is enough

Hi. Just want to ask. Whats the best cheap camera for beginner that would you recommend? Thank you! Your vids are so inspiring.

Canon RP. Full frame for cheap price. But if you really be a pro, start with some DSLR like Canon 5D. It's cheaper, but have all what you need.

[@techtt6213]

second hand Fuji XE-3 are often really well priced.

[@amiebarron8729]

I've been trying to find out for ages and finally I just have to ask - what is that little orange and black disc that people have tied to their cameras? I thought it was a Sony thing but I've just seen it in some canon videos too!

[@spencereyes235]

I think you’re talking about quick release tabs for “peak design” camera straps

[@cinialvespow1054]

they are red and black, man i wish they were orange :p if they did a special edition i'd buy like 10 of them. they're quick release attatchments for peak design straps

[@mirrorlessny]

@@cinialvespow1054 & with A7SIII these quick release tabs dont make dangling noise anymore because the strap rings have tighter grasp on the body

[@TAPPChannel]

How great shots Pierre... Did know you’re even better filmmaker that photographer :D

[@Micah-Woods]

The way this handles ISO is 🔥 I'd love this to be my video shooter with my current a7III to be my photo shooter. 💯

[@cinialvespow1054]

is there anything the a7iii does better in photo besides more e peen with the larger mega pixel count? (compared to the siii

[@Micah-Woods]

@@cinialvespow1054 there is slight better camera quality on the a7III for photos because of the larger pixels. But the a7siii is perfect for what most people take photos for.

[@cinialvespow1054]

@@Micah-Woods I think you mean the other way around :) I'm used to shooting on an a7iii, I wonder though if maybe I shouldn't go for the new S 3 as im interested in a hybrid camera, at this point I can only really have one camera. The a7iii has more resolution, which is supposedly better for photos like for cropping and printing, though I don't crop almost at all. I feel like the a7iii may only be marginally be better in photo due to the larger resolution, so with the a7siii I could have same if not greater photo quality with better autofocus and longer bursts, but also with much more cinema camera like video. That's attractive. though the price difference is double. a7iii hovers around like 1650 - 1750 currency rn, while the s is meant to be like 3500? tough decision.

[@cinialvespow1054]

just saw how good that noise in high iso looks! whoah it really is more like film grain, that's killer

[@BrightResultsMedia]

Great job. Hooked on the first minute!!! Bravo

[@princezed7885]

Does the A7S 3 has bluetooth/wifi connectivity?

[@camilamejia5534]

wow ! the shots are absolutely incredible

[@dallatorretdu]

this would pair perfectly with my low resolution Mitakon Speedmaster 50mm f/0.95

[@sasca854]

The A7SIII only has about 1 stop better low light performance than the A7III, so unless you're shooting at night _most_ of the time, OR you need the extra bit depth, OR you need 4K HFR options, OR the flip screen, I think the A7III is a better choice. When it comes to stills, the A7III is the better _hybrid_ camera no matter how you slice it. You can easily get it used for around $1,500. The SIII is the right tool for the job for some people, but it's not the be-all-end-all for everyone. Just my 2c.

[@cinialvespow1054]

only one stop is literally double. You're right tho, you'd almost expect more. It's half the resolution, (pixels are twice the size) and low light is doubled, that's not bad

[@cinialvespow1054]

isn't 1.5k hovering around new price for it now. Used for 1.5 is high imo

[@Nvrr0]

I have a zv1 , a7iii and Bmpcc 6k. I wanted to maybe add the a7siii but the video looks videoish like my a7iii. It’s a good camera but the 6k and 4k black magic just looks different in a better way , more cinematic

[@cinialvespow1054]

what do you think contributes to it looking 'videoish' ? Have you seen some other reviews, In that british blokes review it looked very cinema camera independent of this camera tho, what do you think makes a shot look videoish vs filmic? It's an interesting question imo

[@maxzett]

"If you are on a Budget, get a A7III" yeah- 2000€ without a Lens if definitely in the budget range xD

[@aryaguehrs]

best budget 6400 or m6 mark ii XD

[@DeusExAstra]

"Budget" is a relative term. Compared to other cameras with similar capabilities, it's a good deal.

[@aristotle_4532]

Fuji T3 with kit lens is very good value. Nothing comes close.

Budget for ff If u want a budget then the 6000 series is there

[@TerraThink]

@@MonicaHolly143 The full-frame Canon EOS RP can be had for $900 or so (plus cost for a lens of course - either a cheap EF lens with the included EF to RF-adapter or the cheapest new RF lens for another $500).

[@xvxxvx4750]

Great comparison and great new camera still too expensive for my likes. PS: great haircut too!

[@zakiradi450]

am a portrait photographer. i dont do weddings but sometimes couple shoots. also like to shoot short films. if this was at least 20mpx i wouldn't think twice but am not sure if i can use this camera for portrait work.

[@cinialvespow1054]

I'm basically in the exact same boat as you. The 12mp is also my only concern. I feel like for portraits it won't be a problem. I don't really crop most of my photos, especially not my portraits. As for max print size at x dpi, I have tested this for myself in person. I drew out on large paper the max print size of 24mp and 12mp at 300ppi, and while the 24mp is larger, it didn't feel like a worlds difference, Like you're still not printing a wall or anything larger than a0 on them at 300ppi. I want it so bad, the video is so much more cinema camera! And that would help a lot with my filmmaking and music video efforts. Especially the 10bit colour allowing for more room to play. The ergonomic improvements like the EVF being double the resolution of the SECOND BEST, are amazing. The bigger body and the metal exposure wheels instead of the little plastic ones also look great. I think I'll end up buying it, shooting it a lot and trying to see if 12mp is a problem for me or not, if so I'd have to send it back with a frown on my face :( God Speed with your films :)
