When he started I thought he was going to say there was a major defect. Look like it is just one video mode and a button issues is all he could find wrong. This still sounds like a very positive review. Am I missing something?

[@1morekill]

Yeah it’s damn near 3k dollars for a camera that phones will catch in a few years time.

[@moepreme]

@@1morekillnegative way to see it bro let's just enjoy the beauty of photography

[@1morekill]

@@moepreme its just the truth, if anything just think about how cool it will be when phones can capture this kinda quality.

[@TechThroughTheLens]

for some its a big issue

[@andrewdoyle1772]

​@@1morekilldude, phones are never gonna get to the level of a proper camera setup. The difference is night and day.

[@automatictuna]

👍👍💯💯 thank you for validating my current camera!

[@TechThroughTheLens]

Any time!

[@bluetrails]

There's another downside of using the gyro. You'd need to film at a much higher fps, since the stabilization tends to artifact on blur. So, you loose motion blur, and you will struggle more in low light environments.

[@Macas_lens]

Is the Sony alpha a7 3 still good in 2023? Or for the same price can I get higher quality?

[@robainscough]

Excellent review, do you have recommendations on lenses?

[@jitadityaghosh]

Would you recommend it over Canon R6 II and Nikon Z6 III, for someone shifting to mirrorless camera from Nikon D750?

[@ShangleLP]

it would be a nice video but pls uplpad it the next time in 4k ^^

[@Cestariarts]

Dude, the slide you moved to remove noise is the noise COLOR slide, that only removes the color noise created by the pixels of the sensor. You have to use the slide "Luminance" to actually remove noise.

[@TechThroughTheLens]

I like the regular grain and texture of the image. just don't like the color artifacting. removing the texture also makes it look too smooth and plastic like and requires compensation by adding sharpness

[@Cestariarts]

This is one of the best videos on this subject. Thank you for your time. I am planning to get the Sony A7 IV. Is there a particular adapter I can use to attach Canon Lenses to the Sony?

[@BlueFlameLighter]

Thank you very much for sharing this content. I'll probably be getting this body but I dont know if i should wait until Black Friday to see some significant discount or not.. By any chance do you know if equipment like this may get some sort of discount during that season ?

[@TechThroughTheLens]

it always gets a discount but those discounts generally come from the retailer for black friday rather than sony. Sony keeps the prices up.

[@rockmusicvideoreviewer896]

it was just recently discounted $100.

[@RustieMcHogg]

I have a question. Does this model also have the insanely oversensitive sensor so trying to use the flipscreen you keep having it shut off by the proximity sensor?

[@TechThroughTheLens]

no you should be good

[@elementeddie-sn7xj]

thats such a niche problem, and I have it on my a6000, it drives me insane

[@Christoph_Walks]

This was super in-depth! It definitely sounded like there was a negative review coming, but 9.8 sounds pretty legit. I love the design of this camera, and the custom buttons seem to be a big plus. But yeah that toggle switch issue indeed seems like it could be annoying. Thanks for going so in-depth and having such high standards for your review! 🫶

[@RynaxAlien]

RGBW CMOS or quantum dot graphene enhanced CMOS could dramatically improove sensitivity which is needed in high resolution camera's.

[@benjiespinosa4703]

Still new to photography tbh and I've been reading and studying about alot of cameras, for a beginner this is pretty much of a big jump esp budget wise this is more into mid level getting closer into expert level camera...would recommend starting off with something simple like a Nikon DS3500

Is it good for music videos ?

[@stevenchatburn9058]

Whats the best lens for filming and zooming far in the sony range? With depth of field

[@TechThroughTheLens]

a tighter focal length will naturally give you a shallower depth of field. I really like the 70-200 from sony. or the 85mm

[@YashvirGaming]

@@TechThroughTheLens Hey bro, whats the best camera do you recommend for video only. I want to pick a camera for youtube content creator (products unboxing and etc) and some a few pictures So what do you have in mind which is perfect for video mainly.

[@gakulswargiary6097]

​@@YashvirGamingSony a7siii

[@dommantv1987]

How is the moiré effect when shooting video? I can't find anywhere if the A7IV has an AA filter or not.

[@TechThroughTheLens]

So in cameras they are called Optical low pass/ OLPF filters. AA is a a term in 3d graphics. But they sony cameras do have a OLPF. The moire is not an issue that was something that was solved for most cameras in 2012. You can always add a rear lens filters from a company like kolari to help add diffusion later on.

[@sickasitgets386]

[@slurp3194]

Its great but the rolling shutter is horrible. It would have been my favorite camera if it had decent rolling shutter performance. It is a 7/10 hybrid camera for me. On photo side there is not much more you can want except a faster burst rate like 15 frames per second considering canon r6 is super fast. But video side heavy crop on 4k 60 and bad rolling shutter. No open gate option. Just can’t give it higher then 7 for that reason especially with so many options today. Very good camera cant go wrong with it

[@readytogo5905]

If mainly using for video, consider the FX30 or the FX3 (I owned the latter). They won't overheat as they have internal fans, and are built for this...

Gerald undone has a good review video up. The Sony GM 1.4 is the best if price isn't an issue. Sigma 1.4 DG DN right behind it if you'd prefer to save a few bucks.

[@_jasminedy]

Is this better than the A7s3? I’m debating! I have the A7s4 unopened from Best Buy and I just want to make sure I’m making the right choice. Lol I don’t want to spend another $1,000 if I don’t have too. 😂

[@redheadredemption2]

depends on how important 4k 60fps is to you...

[@tomirwinphoto]

If photography is as important to you as video the a7IV might be the better option (my choice). But if video is a priority the a7S3 or fx3. BTW- at 24/30 fps the a7IV is sharper than the a7S3.

[@_jasminedy]

[@halimrahman]

I got my a7IV for almost 3 weeks now and I am really satisfied (but still keeping my a7R III). Do you think that 4K 60fps does affect the aperture? I mean, when using Super35 we know that the focal length changed by 1.5 factor, 24mm becomes 36mm. What about the aperture, when opened up to f/2.8 will it record with the f/5.6 effect?

[@gakulswargiary6097]

Buy a lens with constant aperture aka Prime lens

[@ifathossain2775]

Teach me everything

[@Wistbacka]

"Highest resolution for a midrange camera..." - yes "...Without going into something ridiculously expensive..." - well then you are not talking mid-range anymore are you? And if you are gonna start talking about R-series, you can get an Rii or Riii with higher, full frame BSI sensors, and almost identical dynamic range and practical levels of noise. So if resolution is all that matters at this price point, get an A7Riii instead.

[@TechThroughTheLens]

check the date on the video

[@krtybee]

Is a7iv the best photography camera now in 2023?

[@TechThroughTheLens]

one of the best for sure. Like someone might say the a7rV is the best because its 60mp or the gfx 100s is better because its 100mp. but i think its on the team for best cameras
