[@arunskuviyamphotography5388]

I purchased my Sony A7III camera on June 17th, 2018 - not only is this the exact day I welcomed my beautiful daughter into the world, but it also happened to be Father's Day! 📷👶💙 It's amazing how certain dates become so significant in our lives. Now, every time I pick up my camera, it's a reminder of that incredible day filled with love and joy. Cheers to capturing precious moments and making memories that last a lifetime

[@jpemile]

Moral of the story: It’s not Canon vs Sony, it’s your approach, your capacity to adjust, your overall creativity and your level of nerdiness. A lot of people bought the same camera but not all of them became Gerald Undone.

[@z352kdaf8324]

No. It's just Sony lol

[@unn4medfeel1ng]

And that's good, because if everybody is Gerald Undone then no one is. Though it would be funny if everyone busted out the xyla 21 at a camera store.

[@harryvuemedia5106]

It is Canon vs. Sony. Sony forced Canon and Nikon to switch to Mirrorless or get left behind.

[@plaboo]

its not like you need a good camera to do what gerald does lol

[@JoeCastellon]

This comment deserves to be pinned. 👌🏻

[@ariellestroman7726]

Your Sony A7III review 5 years ago is what initially inspired me to pull the trigger on buying my first camera (coming from almost only using a smartphone or rented school camera), which jumpstarted my own photography career. Thanks for all of your effort and passion on KZbin, you've earned/deserve all the success!

[@skymakai]

The a7III got my photography career going and I watched every one of your videos. The a7IV is leaps ahead, but the a7III was good for it's time. The price, AF and lens selection was hard to beat. If I could go back, I'd have switched to the GH5 for video earlier. For a while I ended up using two systems. I'm very happy now that Sony has brought s-log3 10-bit to the mirrorless line... and for your reviews/tutorials over the years.

[@wagnercs]

Because of you and the power horse Sony A7 III, I started my career at Wedding Films. The profile I use for the shots are your profiles, with your configurations. Just by curiosity, I tried 2 days ago changing the profiles to PP7 - SLOG2 - just to see how it could be. There is no comparison! Yours are much higher quality and far more dynamic range friendly. It's a differential that rendered to no bride ever complaining about colors, skin tone or quality. 5/5 Stars rating every time. Thanks, Gerald!

[@ckhicks]

Dude, what a masterclass in both gear review etiquette and how to sustain a passion over time on this platform. Major props to you and thanks for the history lesson. 🎩

[@TaylorPassofaro]

It was your A7iii picture profile video that was perhaps the most important KZbin video I watched because it really got me thinking about the deeper workings of cameras and videography. I owe so much of my current knowledge to you. Thank you for keeping so many of us curious, thinking, and informed.

[@andrewsaraceni]

It was the a7S III review - which is a masterclass in camera reviews itself - that initially put your channel into my recommendations. Never knew the a7 III had so much importance in the mix of your story and content strategy, but it was also my first full frame Sony, and still wild how many features Sony packed into that thing for the price point. Glad that it led you to where you are now!

[@MarshallCant]

I just want to say a heartfelt "thank you" for taking us all on the journey with you. I'm 70 now and can honestly say that no other KZbin channel has had as much influence on me as yours. I truly appreciate it.

[@vincevenom3377]

Gerald you are the STANDARD. Always humble, honest and well spoken. Thank you sir!

[@MrSindriSvan]

Man, I've got to say man... When I got my A7iii in 2018 your videos were SO helpful - been here with you since early days and while I have less need to watch your videos as I now have the knowledge needed. I'm always happy to see how well you've done. Hope you're doing well - keep inventing and keep having fun!

[@gregelgie]

I’m not a Sony-user but your videos have been instrumental in my photographic and video graphic learning. Thanks again, Gerald!

[@LUITESLIFE]

One of the best releases of all time imo. Still a great camera today and still great value for what it goes for as well.

[@DonGutierrez]

Your Sony videos, starting with the A73, was so instrumental to my growth in film and video, I’m not sure where I’d be today without em. Thank you Gerald for your passion and nerdiness for cameras, and thankful for the A73 for really changing the way we shoot. Keep em coming Gerald!

[@JCBShortFilms]

Like so many others here, the a7iii has totally changed me and my photography. Even if it’s over five years old now, it’s still quite a capable piece of gear. Thanks for the hard work you do for all of us!

[@raycewiggins]

Thanks for sharing your story! Your videos have been hugely instrumental in my photography/videography career. Your perspective and in-depth, technical analysis is something that I have not been able to find anywhere else. So thank you for all the work that you put into these videos!

[@DreySantesson]

I wish I could replicate the same feeling as when I opened the box of the SONY A7III, what a moment !

[@JensLarsen]

Great to see an overview of your YT journey. I have learned a lot from your videos. Often how much I don't know about photography and videography, but that has been really useful, and I really appreciate the humor!

[@chepilevski]

It is so cool to see you reflecting on key points in your content creator journey man! It is great to see people understanding those important moments 💪 The brutality hard work, physically and mentally you put have paid off and we all love you man ❤️

[@thesummerprojectvids]

100%. You absolutely dominate your niche in camera/Sony world. Everyone knows this channel is where you go for technical - but still very accessible - reviews and topics.

[@DanielJohnsonWeddings]

I launched my wedding videography business using the Canon 200D. It wasn't until two years later when I bought the A7III and learned so much about it from you, my business really took off and I was soon able to leave the 9-5 and work 24/7 but I wouldn't change a thing. A lot of that success is attributed to you, Gerald. Thank you. The A7III will always be an important camera to me, even though now it has become my B cam.

[@Rayhchall]

What is your A cam now? 🎥

[@DanielJohnsonWeddings]

@@Rayhchall My A is now the Sony A7IV 🙌

[@stowgood]

Thanks Gerald. Your videos are super useful but I find myself watching them often just for you. It's nice to have someone really talk technically about cameras it's fun to me.

[@peterbraunworth]

I'm so thankful for what you have done on your channel. I've been watching for several years and have learned so much! Thanks for sticking with it and giving us great content. I appreciate you.

[@likebliss]

I love you, Gerald! Thank you for being yourself, and sharing this valuable lesson/perspective of your journey!

[@ianporter1600]

Thanks for such a sincere video Gerald, I’m happy to have been along for the ride. Wishing you a great end to the year and a successful start to the new year. 😃🙏

[@georgeblanchardjr]

I’ve had my a7iii for 5 years. Wanted to upgrade after about 3 years.. but i’m still using it, and it’s solid.

[@FoxTailWhipz]

Wow I have such a similar journey with this camera, it pretty much started my shift to camera videos in 2019 when I finally saved enough to buy it, and I remember your videos helping me make the decision on it haha

[@igorvuk4454]

Got a7iii a month ago after few years of using a6400, what a camera!

[@noopynnus]

This was very inspirational! The message I got from this was, everyone has to start somewhere and one should look around the existing landscape and determine what’s NOT currently being offered on the market and bring value to the audience. Consistency and the work you put in will do the rest. 💪

[@JeahnLaffitte]

Your picture profiles video for a7iii catapulted me into my mindset around learning photo/video technicalities. You’re one of the few KZbinrs I still watch and look forward to all these years later 💜

[@lordberus5101]

I listened to so many videos of you keep doing what you love and keep us updated thanks for your hard works Gerald.

[@alihammad6318]

I remember finding your videos way back when I got my A6400, and the A7iii video was very interesting in helping me get the most out of that.. Now I'm aiming to go in a similar direction as you on KZbin, just focusing on Panasonic and going nerdy + educational, and some cool tips and tricks I've learned. Thanks for all you do Gerald!

[@TheMrPope]

I’m thankful for all the Nerdy Testing and all the dry humor. You have hugely influenced and helped my camera journey. Thank you.

[@MichaelScrip]

I've had my A7III since 2019... it's great! And so is your channel! Thank you for all your wonderful videos! 😎

[@freerangesam457]

Thank you for your hard work and sharing what you’ve learned.

[@jorgealarconYT]

Your success is totally deserved! Thank you for all the videos that help us grow in our journey.

[@CYCLEFANATIX]

Hey Gerald, thank you for all your videos. I am in the Motorcycle genre but always look to your advice about New products and which camera and lenses you recommend. Thanks for all your hard work.

[@metronohm808_6]

One of the most genuine KZbinrs, keep up the great work man

[@jongao]

Congrats on all the amazing achievements, Gerald! Happy holidays to you and your family!

[@ryangarb]

Literally bought my FX3 because of you and it helped me grow my business with top tier quality, keep at it Gerald.

[@jonasll]

Thank you for all you do for the community

[@kaspergaram]

Dude, this is an insanely great video. It's inspirational, it has a story, it has a heart. Thank you so much for making this. As someone who looks up to you and tries to struggle with my own KZbin work, it's great to hear that not even the best ones out there had it easy in the beginning.

[@micahdegruchy]

Top work Gerald. The commitment you put into your reviews is next level and we all benefit so much. Thank you.

[@MarioSoMedia]

Thanks for all the in depths reviews you make! They have been so useful! I actually found you on KZbin from a cheap usb mic review and the extensive tests you were doing for a $50 mic was quite impressive

[@DevinFinn]

This is one of the biggest pushes I have ever in-directly received. Thank you.

[@AsphaltPlanet1]

This video was great. I appreciate your honestly, and your humour.

[@BenSullinsOfficial]

Been watching since that A7iii video man, loving it. Keep going!

[@jorevora]

As a A7III user, your video’s have helped me gain a better understanding of the camera. Your channel definitely helped me with becoming a better photographer and film maker. Thank you for that! 💪🏾

[@DarrylSyms]

Incredible Gerald. Inspiring, and moving 💜

[@tperkins073]

Thanks Gerald! When I bought my a7iii and hit KZbin to learn about it, your videos were among the first that helped me understand how to get great results from it. Keep doing what you're doing!

[@JCKRGB]

I bought the A7iii in 2021 when I started my own KZbin channel, and that’s how I found your channel! Thanks Gerald for all your in depth videos and analysis! ✌🏻

[@azadalizadeh4517]

You have positively impacted the lives of many filmmakers. Thank you. 🙏

[@bobsykes]

Very cool! Congratulations on 400K now. It sounds so easy when you put it this way about the types of content that actually help people, but obviously most creators just don't think like that. Wishing you the best in the coming year!

[@mylifefilmproduction]

I like this guy, he does a great job and honestly shares the results with us, thank you...

[@alexfolidaire]

your video about picture profiles is soooo usefull

[@shaddring]

Went back and watched your A7 III unboxing, good stuff. And gave it a like. Happy Holidays, always enjoy your videos.

[@THEMARCKNIGHT]

Thank you for your work and effort, Gerald!

[@drmatthewhorkey]

Inspiring!!! Keep up the great work.

[@KameTrick]

I really enjoyed this retrospective, and even in this video you included useful info about adjusting your approach as a creator to develop a better performing formula for videos. Happy holidays!

[@PostColorGear]

Dude, it's been a thrill to watch what has happened to you over the years. For me, your nerdiness was welcomed. I was exhausted of the random regurgitation of people repeating company specs and things they've heard about dynamic range, etc. etc. It's been awesome to chat with you a few times (probably more than a few) and I can say that you definitely deserve everything youve achieved. Hope you have much more success! Oh, and we need to jam again at some point. Doing it online, through Twitter, a couple years back wasn't enough lol

[@RM-hy4so]

Nice to hear about your journey. Happy that you have become successful doing something you love. That’s what I wish for everyone. We as knowledge seekers also gain from your evolution since the A7 III. Thanks!

[@attilaishere_barcelona7935]

I remember I found you through my searches regarding m43 format. You were the clearest and easiest to understand of all. Sometimes, you still are... :) Keep them coming!

[@maks_st]

I've been watching your videos for the last few years (I remember when you still had long hair 😄). And even though my interest in cameras and videography has dwindled since then, I always watched your videos with great interest. Your unique style and an eagerness to answer artistic questions more scientifically are a great contribution to the field. Your success is absolutely deserved. Thank you for consistently making great content, Gerald!

[@fsnaps]

super underrated creator, love the videos! first place for camera info is your channel.

[@tomazzaman]

Thank you for all the years of great content, Gerald. Here's to more Undoing in 2024! Cheers!

[@flochfitness]

awesome video. Thanks Gerald!

[@maxglaze1196]

its been amazing being around for the journey!

[@mooksdfe]

I picked up my Alpha 7 IV and FE 35mm f/1.8 a few days ago as a birthday gift for myself and am very happy that I did. Your reviews helped me narrow down what products to consider and what's important to look at depending on what kind of shooter you are.

[@davidburchettephotography6513]

Congratulations and may it continue for you. You provide great content and are entertaining. Good luck in ’24.

[@ThomasFransson]

This was great Gerald. Thank you

[@asmrninja8907]

Thank you sir for your informative and entertaining knowledge sessions on more than just the overall camera functions. When I started my KZbin adventure, your recommendations on cameras and other photography equipment enabled me to find the right camera and lenses. The camera I went with is a A7SIII and even though it was a bit more than what I will be using it for at first, I can grow with this camera and make amazing quality videos for each situation. I then used your other videos to properly set my camera to give the best output for my audience, as my standard is quality over quantity. Your KZbin success brings me great joy and may you keep your passion for the videography and photography realms! Keep em flowing Mr. Undone!

[@MarkDuffyPhotography]

Been subscribed to your channel since your colour profile video for Sony A7iii, so knowledgeable dude

[@lievryan1323]

We appreciate you Gerald!

[@davecb78]

Your review was the catalyst for me choosing the Sony a7iii a few years ago. Thank you for incredibly resourceful reviews and analysis. I’m still using that camera today. Hope you have an even better 2024 Gerald!!! Thank you! 🙏

[@helveklikk]

Still remember those picture profile videos, was searching the web for hours to find what to use and why. No one did it as well as you Gerald, been here ever since!

[@futc.photography]

A really inspiring video man 🙏

[@actstuntcam]

I think I learned more from this video about building my channel and being a KZbinr than anything else I've seen. Nice on Gerald and have a great Christmas:)

[@martyc4906]

That’s great. Happy for you and your success! 🙏🙂

[@kylemckenna]

Thanks for the always valuable insight, Gerald! My journey has begun with the FX30 (from your review) and am loving it - looking forward to learning more from you.

[@1337ghomri]

Nice story and insight Gerald. I got the Sony A7III in 2019 and still use it almost daily.

[@ikariuswings]

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO, HAVE DONE AND WILL DO....

[@Roland314]

Wonderful video, which highlights something I appreciate about what you do: perspective. You offer commentary that is actually insightful and unique. You are critical, but fair. I can attest that my videography improved tremendously from what I learned from you. So, I am also really glad you learned from the initial unboxing video and improved. Please continue the great work.

[@SaskRiderMoto]

I love watching your videos. It helps me make sense of things and decide what is or is not important. Proud to have a Canadian KZbinr to watch. There are only a handful of them and you are the top one I watch. Keep smashing the videos out. I am still trying to decide between the A7IV and Pani S5II/X for my entry back into photography and eventually learn video as well.

[@hanshart1413]

I'm still using the A7 III and learned about how to properly use it with your videos. Big thanks!

[@peteralessandriaphotography]

Nice work Gerald! 😍

[@MiddleofKnowhere]

Great video. I love hearing that story.

[@elijahcho]

I appreciate all your technical videos and look forward to each one. This one was different, and it was pretty awesome to hear you put things in perspective. Hope you do these things semiannually or at the end of each year. Maybe one as a personal reflection and another as a “state of the camera union “ address lol. On a side note, I you can bring a bit more Fuji gear into the fold next year. Thanks for all the hard work

[@V1ZNS.]

I started using an a7III at work this year and your videos were super beneficial

[@babyleon]

Your "madness" has certainly been very helpful to me! From A7iii to A7siii and beyond....

[@natepotter6911]

Always loved your channel, Gerald! A7iii was huge for me, too.

[@MattTrevett]

I got an A7 III at the tail end of 2022/beginning 2023 (to save money and see if photo/video was for me) and while it's far from the best, and has quite a few limitations when mixing video and photography into a single camera, it's been less about the gear and more about getting out there, experimenting, making mistakes, and learning. Thanks for your content - haven't been watching for too long, but I'll be happily working through the backlog.

[@Muwex]

Been following your work since GH5 days. I also had it and used for my KZbin stuff. Time flies. Merry christmas🙏🏻🤠

[@thebrownthomascrown917]

Good for you bro...one of the most awesome reviewers I watch.

[@timurhant469]

I discovered your channel after I bought the a7 III but it also catapulted my photography to a new level. Now no more Sony user, I still have the camera close to me with a defect Sensor, and still feel thankful and nostalgic somehow. Cheers man, I learned a lot from you!

[@CrispyJacketStudios]

Congrats on your success. I think your content is brilliant btw so totally deserved 🤙😎

[@silent_safaris]

Thank you for sharing your story Gerard. I got my A7iii 2nd hand a few months ago and although I haven’t gotten to the point where I feel comfortable using PPs, those videos made me really pay attention. Exactly what I needed to understand what I’m in for. Well done!

[@WereAllChefs]

I bought this camera, as a photographer, 4 years ago. It has been incredible. I recently started this youtube channel and I am amazed at the learning transition from photo to video. This camera has been with me from the moments I found out I was having a boy. Beyond thankful for all the moments I have captured and now the new videos I have been creating. Loved your video and can definitely relate.

[@MarlonKingShow]

I remember the time very well, sony a7iii was the talk of the town. Well done mate on getting on board the train. I started my channel in 2017, but decided not to take a loan out to get one and i saw loads of channels boom that were using them but not mine alas.... that said, without formula, it would have been lost in the ether either way. True achievement to break theough in youtube

[@qvarfoto]

Cheers Gerald! I actually found your channel when you were making the GH5 videos back in the day (in early 2018 to be precise..ish, but from a different YT account; Fodson Media, if you remember our little interactions, although I don't expect you to). I've always appreciated your content, even though I'm not a Sony shooter myself. Consistently interesting topics, and you have a very pleasing presence and personality on screen. I'm really glad YT has worked out for you. It's very well deserved! Here's to another bunch of years, man. Have a great xmas! /Fredrik

[@TimothyGordon]

My guy. I remember your tutorial on getting burn marks out of screens and then looking for GH5 help and found you again! I celebrated 5k, wished you well and damned you for changing the theme song and using comments as your introduction. Alas, I’m still here. Just here to enjoy you. Because you’re an awesome on screen personality and I’d love to see more interesting content from you! I’m all in.
