[@catho6785]

I'm currently doing sports photography on an A7RII - takes lovely photos but the slow focus kills me. I'd LOVE to get an A9 mkII, but it's way out of my price point for an amateur / occasional paid gig person. I hadn't considered this - it is a lot more in my budget - so really appreciate this review!

[@Rafaelinux]

Looks like their A7III aged a bit. It used to take more sharp photos.

[@DiegoTerzano]

Just a small incremental update as expected. I won't be upgrading my A7III since I use it mainly for landscape, astro and some portraits. I am waiting for the A7RV. I will keep enhancing my lens lineup in the meantime. I just got the 24/1.4 GM and I'm loving it.

[@runhardhooah]

Diego, I take it that you love the A7iii. Have you ever had an a6000? That's my first camera, which I've had now for a year or so, and I'm considering upgrading, but I'll admit that I have a bit of imposter syndrome.

[@DiegoTerzano]

@@runhardhooah I do not have any of Sony's APS-C cameras. I have a Fuji XT-4 for some hybrid uses. Any modern full-frame would be a great upgrade, especially if you shoot in low light frequently. Forget about the impostor syndrome. Experiment with different cameras and setups and get whatever fits your workflow and budget that will advance your photography/videography further. If it is not going to help that cause, then it is not worth getting, it is just an impulse purchase.

[@lenividivici9123]

@@runhardhooah I have upgraded from the A6000 to the A7iii in 2018. If I were you, I would DEFINITELY get an A7iii in the used market once the A7iv is released. Price will drop dramatically. Pair it with Tampon glass and you have professional looking footage at an affordable price.

Great info! I'm thinking about joining team Sony. I mostly shoot talking head footage in 4k 30. I am debating between the a7IV and Cannon (R6?). My only hesitancy is that, side-by-side, the Cannon footage seems to have punchier, more vibrant colors and skin tones out of camera. However, colors look good in this video! Do you think that I can achieve Canon (or better) colors out of camera (without grading)? Thanks again!

[@jambononi]

Yes you'll be able to match Canon colour science with a slight adjustment of tint or contrast etc. Plus you can create your own colour profiles etc. So I would 100% get the Sony because there's no 30 min record limit. Sometimes talking heads go over, and it's such a pain.

[@BryanSnider]

Look at EOSHD. This guy has LUTS that pretty much have hacked the Sony’s to look like Canon. Another great option, and one I prefer is the Leaming LUT. This is more of a corrective LUT vs a creative lot like the EOSHD. I prefer Leeming LUT personally.

[@akkarparkiamopas3401]

We are looking forward to seeing the comparison between a7RIII and a7IV in term of Dynamic Range. I think this will answer if A7RIII owner should swap to A7IV. So far, the only thing we can see is just the megapixels, the thing that we gonna lose if swap to a7IV.

From 2018 to 2022, 4 years has passed. You have a 4 year old camera. That's definitely not yet old enough for an upgrade! People nowadays call 1-2 year old cameras old and question upgrading - are you mad?! I literally just saw a video titled; '' Is Canon R6 still good today?'' and the video was made couple months ago in June of 2021... Canon R6 was released in July of 2020... THAT'S 11 MONTHS AFTER THE CAMERAS RELEASE!!! Is an 11 month old camera still good?!?! OF-FU*KING-COURSE IT IS!! People are winning photography awards and still doing work with 8, 9 or even 10 year old cameras, while people on KZbin are complaining if their 2-3 (in this case 4) year old camera is still good enough?! What?! I have a 1DXll and I've only just now, two weeks ago, decided to upgrade to the a7IV - NOT BECAUSE 1DXll IS ''OUTDATED,'' because it's not, it produces way better images than the a7IV but because I wanted to finally jump to a mirrorless camera. I don't know what's wrong with people on Instagram and KZbin but you people need a reality check ASAP.

[@tt-ew7rx]

IS is a very personal thing. The IS control loop includes the photographer and the designer cannot possibly design for every photographer. So they have to design for the 'average' camera handler, which depends on the mathematical and mechanical models the designer chooses to use. In recent years this is the CIBA model and that does not agree with a lot of real people, and we see impressive stop number inflation that people do not experience in person. Hopefully this does not turn into the same sort of thing that has been seen in the "designed for test" fuel economy "improvements" in cars. In the end, whether a "designed for CIBA tests" IS is good for someone only that someone can decide after personal testing. If it does not work for you, tough luck as in the future we will only have this type of IS.

[@danyfalcon7315]

A7iv or A7c? Witch one has the best focus system? I need that quick eye animal detection.

[@Fremen02]

I have seen a lot of reviews comparing the A7IV to the A7III and it seems like no one ever noticed that the embedded jpeg in the RAW file is now full resolution. This is an important thing to include when comparing them because it means a lot of AI culling programs will work a lot better with A7IV raws than they did with A7III raws.

[@TheTrailMixTV]

I would be extremely interested to see what happens when you use your a7IV with breathing compensation turned on using the Sony G 200-600mm lens. does it correct the problem that the G telephoto has when shooting at close focusing distances? You mentioned using extension tubes to compensate in your review of the lens, but could this feature cure that? This would be very useful for my wildlife needs if so. Could you do a video on the breathing correction and use this lens in it?

NOT sure how autofocus compares between those two. Which one would you get as paid dog photographer?

[@rizatamin]

A9 definitely.the only reason to choose a7iv over the a9 is the video aspect,a9 is lack of PP but if you dont color grade or even dont do video,then a9 will be a better choice.24mp vs 33mp isnt that difference,almost unnoticeable.but the AF and fps of a9 is just way ahead of a7iv.they say it (a7iv) has the same autofocus system as a1 but it’s not,it just has the same phase detection number.but the AF/AE calculation is nowhere near a9,let alone a1.(a7iii is 20 calculation per second,a9 is 60 calculation/s and a1 is 120 calculation/s) it might improve a bit from a7iii but still doesnt even close to a9.

Tony I need you to make a nerdy video about why the higher MP doesn't show more detail and sometimes even less detail. Atmospheric effects and a poor lens aside I can't wrap my brain around this one.

[@zfisher]

@M Tech I think you're wrong. It's a 37.5% increase, that's significant and should be noticeable. Look at T&C's video comparing the a7iii to the eos R, where the resolution difference is an advantage for the Canon. You can also see it on dpreview's image comparison. Watch any video about how resolution affects the print sizes you can make. If you think high-MP cameras are over-hyped that's fine, but in the extreme cases like presented in this video, I don't understand why the difference wouldn't be more cut and dry.

[@frstesiste7670]

You wont get more detail from a 33MP sensor if the lens aren't good enough or the atmospheric effects are bad enough. You should never get worse detail with the higher MP sensor though, unless conditions are changing and then the comparison is worthless anyway.

Thank you for this video, So what i take from this: the Sony A7III is still an amazing camera, unless you have one of the following issues, you really shouldnt switch: - you like to work with an improved touch screen (here i am missing the screen quality comparisson in the video, but spoiler: there isnt much difference at all) - you already have very good lenses and you already hit the boundaries of the a7iii in animal or sport fotography, but here, why not go for the A7RIII instead? - you shoot a lot of videos and you benefit from the better autofocus I kinda think that canabalizing products is bad, but in case of sony, they really could have made the a7IV stand out more in comparrisson to its A7RIII rival

[@Somebodysomewheresometime]

I have the a7r3 and the eye af kinda sucks tbh. I am a self portrait shooter and I lose a ton of photos because of the af. For me, the improved eye af seems like a game changer

[@redskinfaithful]

Should I sell my a6500 and sigma trio and make the leap to the full sensor world, a7iv??

[@abdulbill70]

Is it recommendable to adapt sigma 24-70 lens A mount to Sony a7R camera with E mount?

[@blase.tattoos]

Hi guys! Between these two cameras which one would you choose? I’m a tattoo artist and completely beginner in photography. I’m looking for a camera to make better quality content, all my colleagues use Sony a III and they’re more than happy with that but I’ve just seen they released the A IV and I was wondering if the money difference it’s worth it. Thank you all!

[@mirrorlessny]

Overall a7iv is worth it yes, but if you mainly do stills & don't need evf then can even go for a7C

[@AgnostosGnostos]

The surprise was yesterday when the video was leaked.

[@elbehemoth386]

At this point you might as well wait a few more months and pick up an A7iii and put the extra money towards a good lens 🤷🏻

[@plantxvibe9571]

Honestly i dont think its really big difference For 700$ The only reason you would -Is if you care about the oversampled video -The screen -the wifi on the app -the buffer size -and the eye af- which is useless in my opinion -touch to zoom and navigate - shutter closes when changing lenses If you really care about color just get a canon 😂😂

[@1lifeonearth]

No way, the usability and ergonomics, buttons, and menu alone are worth getting the iv, I've used the a7iii for years and I hate how annoying the usability is.

[@particle_p]

...can I have one of each? I'm attracted by the screen and menu enhancements, but I take low light landscape photos, and it looks like the A7III wins at that.

[@loboptlu]

incredible a 2017 1900€ camera is not as good as a 2700€ 2024 camera from the same brand ,how could that be possible? and btw i prefer the dedicated dial , also why do you think they took the lock button out of the mode dial on the iii , so how is it an improvement on the multi dial. and for video i use a camcorder , have problems understanding that camera stuff with a less than ideal body fo holding.

[@Daniel_Ilyich]

Sharper images from a sensor? That's not a characteristic of a sensor. Sensors have more or less resolution. Of course, the A7 IV resolves more detail, but that can be limited by the sharpness of the lens being used. If anything, a higher resolving lens will make the softness of a lens more evident when zooming in at 100% or more.

[@andyboa8107]

These guys seem such a perfect couple. You wouldn't believe how they fight off screen, how often police have to come where they live. They are well known here to our local sheriff.

Haha, I made it up.

Which camera do you suggest for beginners who want to take good pictures and video both …and which is best for taking pictures of hotels & Airbnb’s…out of A7 III/ A7 IV

[@hasanagera]

The way they hold the cameras exposed to the air annoyed me😂

A7iv closes sensor when lens is taken off

[@adrianmontanes7599]

An amazing video comparing the new and the old. It looks like a significant enough upgrade, but IMHO, for most people the the a7iii is more than enough.

[@dronetojoy6141]

Exactly. Every time a new model appears it surprises me how quickly the previous model was not great. Yet reviews of the previous model - when it came out - are glowing. In the end ask what do you really need it for and want from it. ..

[@EstablishedHeritage]

Agree with you both. 💯

[@Elrond_Hubbard1]

I'd like to see camera manufacturers come out with a wireless detachable screen. Are there any?

[@mirrorlessny]

yes I think it's called something MARS ?

[@runhardhooah]

Odd that this would come on the eve of my decision to upgrade from A6000 to sonethin a lil more pro. Looking forward to watching later! Thanks y'all 🙏 UPDATE: Just watched your comparison here, and I feel a little bad to upgrade to any camera from the a6000, which has been such a great starter camera that I got as a gift only a year ago. I think I'll surely upgrade to the a7iii before anything else, though figuring out when will be the trick. Thank you guys again for the inspiring and awesome video!

[@Glasairman]

That's how I started 3/2019. I bought the A7III 9 months later and STILL struggling to unlock its full potential. I would humbly suggest that the A7III will keep you satisfied for the next 2-3 years. In the meantime buy full frame lenses not APS-C and prepare for the (major) jump

[@jacks3940]

Everybody talking about upgrading from an A7III, im tryna upgrade from a Canon Rebel T7 🤣

[@mubarakbrar9937]

Would you recommend this camera for video?

[@mirrorlessny]

I would, just keep in mind the limitations like 4k60 crop, 1080p quality & rolling shutter.

[@northcarolinalee1441]

Is the A7R III still great camera? I am a amateur photographer who enjoys shooting landscaping, can you give you an idea which one should I buy. A7R III or A7iii?. I am going to pair up with FE 16-35 MM 2.8 G LENS.

[@VeeTravels]

Very nice review, Tony & Chelsea. I can tell right off the bat you are extremely knowledgeable on the information. I have the A7SIII as well as the A7C. I use the A7SIII for shooting my videos and then the A7C is used for my thumbnails as well as recreational photography. I am deciding whether it is worth it to upgrade my A7C to the A7IV -- it will be used primarily for photography. Though I do not see the A7IV being a good video substitute for my A7SIII as it looks like the A7SIII remains video king -- especially when shooting 4K.

[@jdjames997]

Tony & Chelsea, I have an A7Riiia I use for weddings and portraits mostly. I have been waiting for the A7iV to come out because I need a 2nd camera, specifically for weddings. If I get a good price on the A7R4 it is not much more than the A74. Which would you buy? I don't really need 61mp, is the Autofocus on the A7R4 as good as this new A74? That would probably be my most important factor. Will the buffering while shooting multiple shots be faster on the A74 because of the new CF card slot (and the lower mp (than the R)? Great content and videos, you guys are awesome! Thank You

How about encryption? When you first get the camera you set-up a public/private key pair and save your decryption key on your pc / smartphone app etc.. so you can easily decrypt your files are you ingest them but anyone else the camera would be useless (they could even offer a cloud backup for your key as you register your camera on purchase). Selling, simply hand over the private key and allow the new user to generate their own new key. This way you're offering zero impact to the usability of the camera, there's no delay turning it on, no having to punch in a pin, wait for a finger print / face sensor, so you'll never miss a shot or be inconvenienced and the whole thing can be done via a firmware update for existing cameras. Doesn't have to be forced, if you don't want to turn it on, up to you, but enough will and that'll be enough to make cameras not worth stealing.

[@mickeytornroth]

Is teleconverter worth to spend money on now? Earlier Tony said TC gave worse result compare to cropping. Is that only true for some lenses, cameras or combinations? If im not mistaken he said that about the Sony 200-600/5,6-6,3.
