[@stuartschaffner9744]

I am a wildlife/landscape photographer mostly. So, I take images of dim small things often in crappy light. These things either take centuries to move or move rapidly. 15 stops of dynamic range tells me that 800 ISO is the new baseline ISO. So, cool. 60 megapixels is a waste of bandwidth for me. As a nature photographer, I mostly want the best EVF Sony can provide. I no longer care much about a back screen, flippy or no. If I take my eye off the EVF to use a touch screen, I might lose a shot. However, a flippy EVF like on the old medium format film cameras would be hugely valuable. If this announcement means that we are not getting a decent APS-C camera, I'm selling all my APS-C gear. Wildlife, which doesn't want to contrast with its background, is the ultimate test of an autofocus system.

[@madtoffelpremium8324]

I think that this camera isn't only good for portraits and landscape. The 10fps together with the amazing real-time tracking AF and the high resolution make this camera very interresting for shooting wildlife and a good allrounder in general.

[@TallTreesClub]

Sure ... lol .. with those 130 MEG RAW files Jared pointed out in one reply.

[@danieldougan269]

Hopefully, Sony gives photographers the option to shoot full frame at lower resolutions when they don't need 60 MP. Plus you can always use the APS-C crop mode and get 26 MP photos.

[@MannyG32968]

@Madtoffel Premium - Exactly my thoughts!

[@KaioshinAemi]

For Sports and Wild Life, I rather shoot in Crop Mode for faster and smaller files to work with. At 26MP, I can still crop my pictures a little still usable.

[@sfqm1083]

This is an amazing, incredible camera. No doubt. I however don't think it is much of an improvement from the previous A7Riii model, which was already a spectacular camera. A lot of people seem to be jumping on the hype of a 61MP sensor, but honestly if you've already been shooting with the A7Rii, D810, 5DsR or their subsequent models, you will know that above 40MP there is not much valuable difference in adding more resolution. Those who think this camera is a substitute for medium format due to the pixel shift, mind you those 210MP is still from a smaller sensor. The whole point of a medium format is to have that larger sensor with better light exposure and superior depth of field rendition. To say that the 210MP makes it as good as Medium Format is the same as saying a 40MP phone camera is as good as an entry level dslr

[@igandhi24]

Things2Remember I don’t think thats what they’re saying. I think it’s easier for Sony to dish out stills cameras. Videography may be one of their weak points and that’s why the A7S3 is taking long.

[@raywilliam1947]

Absolutely mindblowing medium-format-level specs for just $3500. 15 stops of dynamic range and the ability to produce 61/240 mp images puts it on par with $40,000+ Hasselblad and Phase One systems, but having 5 axis IBIS, eye af, 10 fps shooting, and a broad range of focus points puts this camera beyond them in many respects. Sure, it's definitely overkill for the majority of consumers, but for budding fine art photographers like myself who can't afford to sell a kidney for a medium format kit, this is the best thing we could ever ask for. Only thing I'm slightly disappointed about is the 2 UHD-II SD card slots...would have preferred 2 CFast slots for faster read/write speeds (or the EVEN FASTER CFexpress cards but that's pretty new technology), but you can't have everything.

This camera is good value. IF you think it is not needed, then it is not for you. I definitely couldn't justify this, but literally, anyone who has a 40+mp camera could benefit from this. Landscape and studio artists especially. The price, coupled with the specs justify it alone. This bridges the gap between the 40mp full frames and the 100mp Medium Format cameras. It has a smaller sensor than medium format sure, but its mp count is right between.

[@damnameisinuse]

Question... at 3:22 you say not to buy it if you plan to go in crop mode. Can you elaborate on why not? One of the things I miss about Canon when I started switching over to Sony gear is that the 7Dii was a crop sensor that could almost hang with my full frame bodies for image quality, so I'd shoot sports with that & suddenly my 70-200 has a 300 reach, my 400 has a 600 reach, and I'm not giving anything up. So I've been waiting anxiously for Sony to release a similarly awesome APS-C body & that will apparently never happen but this thing in crop mode still delivers a bigger image than my 7Dii would've and does it with all the full frame glitz & glamour of full frame. So...it seems to me like they came up with a good "best of both worlds" scenario. 61MP for most shooting situations, and a dang good 26MP crop sensor when I want more reach. 2 bodies for the price of 1...am I wrong? Though I don't see myself actually switching to crop mode so much as just shooting full frame and cropping to whatever I choose in post, but knowing I'll have the image data there to do that is a huge win & makes me feel like I've got a lot more reach with a 70-200 than I do with say a a7iii. Am I missing some disadvantages I should be aware of?

[@TKN_NTBY]

Thats exactly what im thinking

[@DaveHaynie]

That makes some sense. Sony has to come to grips with the fact that any video upgrade is going to demand some kind of professional quality video. When they put out the A7 and A7S, they had the only FF mirrorless systems, of course... though Panasonic had already done better video. But now everyone's offering at least 10-bit video, Pansonic has it in-camera on multiple models, M43 or FF. And no 30 minute limit. And 4Kp60. And under/overcranking. And professional bitrates. And DCI-4K as well as UltraHD 4K. Sony can get away with consumer class video options on non-video-oriented cameras. But for their video flagship, they really need serious video, or they're well on their way to becoming the next Canon in ways other than their desire to dominate FF.

I appreciate you making a point of this, as it really is key feature...as well as playback 1:1 preview. Wow, a lot to like, yet the electronics, and menu are 2 main areas that needed improving, and while the ergo is nice, the EVF improvement is really nice, as well as focusing, but I would buy a less megapixel version IF!... the things you and I mentioned were improved. I give ZERO attention to video...great that it has what it does. Also, for those with ergo issue on the R2 or R3...Get yourselves a LBracket that has a adjustable bottom rail. For under $30 I got an amazing L bracket that completely makes holding the camera a joy. Its like a mini Mamiya RZ with this handle on the side.Best thing I got for it. Still hate using this camera on occasion due to poor electronics, and tether connections....Which is another point they might have improved.

Yes it’s fast.

[@lomaryearwood3079]

Canon has better grip. NOT ANY MORE. Canon have better feeling buttons. NOT ANY MORE. Canon have better port doors. NOT ANY MORE😂

[@TheIzharulHaqq]

[@bdone3388]

Lomar Yearwood why so angry

[@gttle20]

They still I think.

[@FairlyUnknown]

It still probably does those things better, it's just Sony is less bad now lol

[@subrataa999]

Very new with DSLR , can I capture milkyway galaxy photo with this camera , what kind of lens should i have to sue ?

[@c-mt6294]

Are you excited??? No Poor video, 100Mbps , 8 bit , large crop no Lossless compressed Raw Stacking 16 frames?! Minor changes to the ergonomics, low res LCD with worthless touch. Eye AF for video hidden deep in the Sony style (bad) menus.

[@lester8849]

You said right...finally I can update to A7R3...

[@danny50582]

I'm waiting for the Canon fanboys to tell us how good their colour science is

[@Jordancraigmiller]

But but but dem skintownes dough. It make me Tube happy.

[@mmcphotographyirl]

If Sony's new lens' matched what Canon is doing I'd jump right away. that RF 28-70 on this a7r IV is the dream

[@UnboxDemand]

Why change to CF-Express? Why not just upgrade to SD-Express instead when those cards become available.

[@stanspb763]

there are very good reasons for the superior XQD card system over consumer grade SD. One being more rugged mechanical packaging. Another is the protected contacts. But the biggest reason is the bus architecture being 30 years more advance, reliable, faster, and error detecting/correcting of the PCIe+ standard and the same reason you expect your SSD network drive to be more reliable than a 5.25 inch floppy disk because that is the buses used on the two different card systems

[@shaun_cook]

If you get a chance, I’d be interested in knowing how the rolling shutter is on the A7R IV compared to the A7R III. I’m hoping that with the pixel shift and faster frame rates, that Sony has eliminated most if not all of the rolling shutter issues.

Congrats on 1 millions subscribers!

I wonder if GM lenses will be “required “ to get the full effect of the 61mp. Reviews after field use will be entertaining. Nice review JP.

[@stephendenagy3396]

I saw part of the announcement video. The addition of timecode and editable proxy video files written at the same time seem to be advances.

[@firsst6779]

What about silent shoot. Is the same problem like before ?

[@jisezer]

I Love quick incremental change. A lot of folks get frustrated but I love seeing small issues fixed so that those who need can upgrade.

[@miftaaulia9377]

What others camera have focus tracking?

[@ericthestone]

Can the mic be used on older Sony bodies?

[@thedondeluxe6941]

So... any news on the A7S III?

[@TheBaconVanMan]

Did they finally properly weather seal the damn thing?
