First! Pin me!!!!

[@KenseiAkatsu]

You got it!

[@liemsters]

Hâhhahha noice!!!

[@Molekuehlable]

Going to buy a a7iii soon with a Sigma 1.4 85mm. Cant wait to shoot again after about 3 years of being broke and not able to afford an Upgrade from my very old Sony a57

[@ShazniAG]

My a7iii bought at launch is still going strong after many years.

[@ulyssessait]

May I know what’s its current SC?

[@motomaniac5163]

I wanna start my journey with this camera, should I see other options or should I just get this one, I shoot motorcycle race events and short videos for social media help me out.

[@RWAXA]

Bought mine 2022 with Tamron 28-75 G2, Now I have the 70-200 GM II & 24-70 GM II and the A7III is still going strong for stills and static videos.

[@KenseiAkatsu]

Yeah, lenses are more important

[@jayan.varsani]

Purchased my A7III in May 2023 with a Sigma 24-70 2.8. Can affirm the photography performance, absolutely beautiful images. Not a massive videographer myself but my most wanted features are 10bit colour and 4k60. Also, the lack of an articulating screen is particularly annoying for vertical shooting. Another big issue which I was aware of but didn't fully comprehend until using it is the poor screen quality. The low resolution really makes a difference, making it difficult to see focus even in AF, and other screen elements. Lack of 4k60 is the biggest reason to not buy in 2024 I would say, otherwise it could easily last another 10 years, especially photography wise. Price is super cheap right now for what it is but it may be worth comparing to used A7iv prices. A great camera that will continue to age well into the next decade.

[@KenseiAkatsu]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

[@PatrickSchraner]

Literally got back from Japan yesterday and I still use the A7 III for photos on my trips. For video however I switched to the A6700.

[@ydine1065]

Why did you choose your a6700 over your a7iii?

[@911skull]

Got mine, a used one, this January during my trip to Japan. Dreaming of a full frame camera since more than ten years and now it happened. To me, it’s the best camera I have ever owned. Nothing bad to say about my A6300 and RX100 III but the picture quality of the A7 III is just superior. Anyways, your video is great as always.

[@KenseiAkatsu]

I feel so glad that you care about your own camera and love it! That's the important thing!

[@jpsatre]

Awesome job! considering A7iii myself! thanks!

[@igorvuk4454]

you can get a7iii used in great condition for under 1000euros (1000usd in usa); with a bit of thinkering and getting to know how to use it you can have amazing results. a7iii for video is still great! Slog3 is great even though it's 8 bit, just use cine color instead of sgamut and that will fix noise. also, HLG3 in low light even on high iso like 5000 looks amazing, and with almost no noise. at f2.8, ISO 5000 and 1/50 shutter, you have enough light for HLG3 in city night scenes, stop down to 2.0 or lower if you need more light. Even in 1080p it's looking great, the trick is to set the details to 0, manual, type5 and sharpen it in post. that will look soo much better than original 1080p. also, a7iii supports downscaling 4K to 1080p over HDMI, so if you plan to use it with video switcher like atem mini, you can set it to run on 4K, and then in HDMI settings set it to 1080p HDMI out. that will give you amazing 1080p video for live streaming only thing that anoys me on a7iii (compared to newer sony cameras, and even apsc line like a6400) is the autofocus especially in SLog. It misses more times than it works in Slog3 especially if there is a strong backlight. on HLG and without PP it works great. a7c fixed that- so IMHO if you don't need second SD card, a7c is the way to go as the best camera for the money you can get now

[@JavierEstebanJE]

Been loving the style of your latest videos, also the thumbnails feel more interesting I don't know why! Wish you could show or do more japan related content, like doing a full video in japanese with subtitles or showing a little bit more about your life there!!

[@joaopaulo24816]

I'm a photographer for all styles and this camera has the best ISO in photography than all the new releases, A1, A7IV, A9, Z9 and R3. waiting for Sony to launch something that surpasses it in this regard.

[@umutkara07]

Hello, in my region, this machine and the Fujifilm X-S20 are sold for the same price. Frankly, will be my first time buying a camera. In general, I am thinking of taking portrait shots and sharing them on social media for fun. I don't think I will make a video. I would be happy to receive your suggestion. Thank you, stay well :)).

[@ajitshrestha143]

just when i needed im getting my a7iii tomorrow as a secondary cam🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@KenseiAkatsu]

Nice!!

[@aziizby2573]

Man im getting the a7iii combined with the sigma 24-70 2.8! I love the way you explain things it simply makes me want to finish the video entirely! By any chance do you have any color grading tutorials ?

[@RawDeal-mo1ng]

Great video my guy and the Sony A7iii is still doing great work.

[@KenseiAkatsu]

Good to hear!

[@carlosaldaz233]

im using it in the worst case scenarios, nightclub - 2 dark rooms , with 100 lasers , and is a beauty!

[@TheLinesEnd]

You realize what a laser does to a sensor right? It’s toast

[@carlosaldaz233]

@@TheLinesEnd yes, you have to control the angles of shooting , more than 10 years in clubs and i hope never happen to me!

[@TheLinesEnd]

@@carlosaldaz233 ah okay! Good luck! I’d be too scared to put my A7IV up in a club with lasers even if I knew the angles but you know what you’re doing.

[@sushanmool]

Hi, Could you please recommend me the camera between a7iii and a7c? I have the budget of $1500 - $1700 for body, and I am switching from Canon 80D. Thank you.

[@MikeDMedia816]

I just got an a7iii for 500 bucks, 12k shutter count, and bout a samyang 24-70 2.8 for 800. I think it's gonna be a pretty good setup for 1300 bucks! When something works I think it will always work! Great video. Of course tue new stuff gets better..

[@mcp888]

Itching to upgrade my aging a6000. Would it be wise to stay apsc (a6700) or go with a a7iii? I only have 1 apsc lens (tamron 17-70) and 1 full frame lens (50mm 1.8)

[@portofino8823]

Yes, when you buy it at great discount or used in near mint condition. Still have mine along side my D700 :D

[@ulyssessait]

I just ordered used A7iii with 4000 SC, for my second body.. the first body is also a used A7iii, now at 30k SC... I love A7iii for event photography

[@KenseiAkatsu]

Nice! Enjoy it hard!!

[@asahovisuals]

Just recently bought sony alpha 7m3 but then saw this so just checking out😂

[@Jay_Q_001]

good move😂

[@ykgb6784]

how about vs fx30 image quality for raw still uncompresed? huge drifrent ?

[@KenseiAkatsu]

Not a huge difference when it comes to the quality

[@earlfenwick]

For me, the non-flip is its best feature compared to the alternatives.

[@yoriichitsugikuni4700]

So no one gonna say about your 🔥 outfit?

[@SiThuVisuals]

How you set WB for a7iii? Just use the auto or use WB card for different lighting situation? I have been struggling with setting WB.

[@yoooser]

1:07 what cameras are those you have on the bottom right? Are they still working?

[@KenseiAkatsu]

It's Edixa Reflex Type A and it's working!

[@jonrods3415]

Thank you Kensei

[@KenseiAkatsu]

👍👍👍

[@Princeton_James]

Yes and no. Compared to the current a7iv I don't know who would choose the III. But for price on the used market if you are a beginner than an absolute yes.

[@KenseiAkatsu]

This still can be a great option, depending on how and what you shoot

[@strangesightsinthesky]

hey Kensei can you shoot video in wide angle,the 2 black bars or is it a certain aspect ratio?

[@tuanminh3720]

Sony a73 still is a beast for sure. You will get great image with great dynamic range and color but...but... sony a74 is much better color sicence imo, especially skintone.

[@KenseiAkatsu]

Totally agree

[@AzizKadirov]

What about the recording limit? What do you do about that?

[@KenseiAkatsu]

To me it's huge. Because I have a shooting job which requires me to shoot for long time.

[@AchSene]

Can you make a video about the A6400? Because you've never discussed it at all. Maybe some people like me also need an explanation, because the A6400 is much cheaper than the A6600, A6700, and A7iii 😃

[@KillerTacos54]

Fantastic video

[@KenseiAkatsu]

Thanks! 😃

[@Coppersulfate9009]

hey Kenshi should i get a a6700 or a a7iii ?

[@KenseiAkatsu]

A6700

[@Coppersulfate9009]

@@KenseiAkatsu thank you

[@tanner.quintero]

But, is worth buying it at the actual cost over the a6700?

[@KenseiAkatsu]

Don't spoil it yet, Im about to make it lol

[@TheLinesEnd]

I upgraded to the A7IV and I love it but the a7iii was always enough for me. I upgraded because I could not because I needed to

[@usersangsa]

I think this would make a great B-cam

[@KenseiAkatsu]

YES!!

[@JeetFN]

Whats lens was on there?

[@KenseiAkatsu]

Sigma 16-28mm F2.8

[@JeetFN]

@@KenseiAkatsu Thank you

[@Malemn_th]

A7iii or A6700 which is better to buy in 2024 for professional

[@DunkRick]

Yeah, I had the same doubt around here, @Kensei Akatsu do reply this as well

[@fnatic7629]

This camera has poor stabilization, If you put a big lens on it, will be hard to balance on gimbals, No gyro sensor for stabilization or vertical videos, no 4k 60fps,

[@Mechrank]

The question is are you still getting views on YT making a video about A7SIII means still worth a buy.

[@KenseiAkatsu]

😂 Ture

[@b.w.6615]

I will never sell this camera🤝🏼

[@PlanetJeremiah]

SECOND!!!
