Sony a7s III vs a7III: Video and Photography Comparison

[@Thehackerguy2000]

Finally a camera review that isn’t a dude sitting at a table n talking.

[@JakeSloan]

Almost none of my videos are me sitting at a table talking...

[@PlanetXtreme]

@@JakeSloan I am fairly certain IlikeTRAINS5 is referencing a comparison video that Peter Lindgren did, which was exactly as described above; no actual comparisons between shots, just him sitting and talking. That video was terrible. This video was so much better.

[@TheApp9]

Think the same. And best guys are the ones who are not talking about their experience but just reading stats. A camera review sitting on the table is like testing cars this way.

[@BigOvlogger]

This is an impressive outstanding video! I get tired and bored when people go on and on about the camera comparison specs; You show us in direct real-world footage how these two awesome cameras perform in different settings and in specific environmental conditions. You ROCK Jake! Thumbs up my friend from Kingsport, TN!

[@JakeSloan]

Thank you very much!! Sometimes I wonder if people just prefer the specs videos. Personally I much prefer the real world use comparisons! Cheers

[@BigOvlogger]

@@JakeSloan Yes sir. I prefer a little about the specs but a lot about the real world comparisons. These two cameras are beasts!

[@schruppt]

I second this comment. Outstanding work. Love my A7iii. Maybe pick up the A7siii someday if I get heavier into video.

[@billpolitis8855]

No footage no review. Nowadays all KZbinrs need to go to the hairdresser first !

[@GregoryLongs]

Great review. From what I see, the A7iii will still be an outstanding pick for 95% of us non-professionals and we can buy an exceptional lens with the extra $1400. Thanks for putting this together, I can tell you spent a lot of time doing it.

[@JakeSloan]

Exactly right! And thanks

[@SunriseWaterMedia]

The low light performance is really impressive. I didn't realize the ISO could go that high and still turn out decent footage.

[@JakeSloan]

Right? It's pretty incredible!

[@Zazen9]

haha you're so casually filming camera reviews in some of the most incredible nature spots. Really awesome work!

The amount of work put into this video is stunning. Although, I am not photographer nor videographer I can appreciate it. Astounding work!

[@JakeSloan]

Thank you very much!

[@MGeezy90]

The a7iii is an amazing camera for the hybrid shooter. Even tho the low light isn't as good as the A7siii, it's still waaayy better than everyone else. Great video 👌🏽

[@JakeSloan]

Agreed. The A7III is still a fantastic camera for creators!!. Cheers

[@GaryJahman]

Always appreciate that you're actually outside in the field talking to the camera and using it. The A7III is still one of the best hybrid camera's out there. Can't wait for the new version to come out!

[@JakeSloan]

Thank you! I agree the a7iv will be an incredible camera. I specially if they include 4K 60 4:2:2 10bit!!

[@yuanzofficial]

Great video Jake! I do like ur point about the autofocus being usable even in extreme under/over exposed conditions. But the a7iii seems to be holding its own in a lot of situations!

[@JakeSloan]

Thank you so much! Yeah aside from the great lowlight performance of the auto focus and of course much more options for video shooting the a7iii is still a FANTASTIC camera for all around creators. Cheers!!

[@Panther-]

My thoughts exactly,I mean we hear everything about it having greater dynamic range ans better colour science but is it worth the extra 2 thousdand dollar upgrade...not so sure,am glad I came across this review

[@veresdenialex]

[@JakeSloan]

thanks!

[@RobinEliza]

I've been researching different cameras to buy for the past 6 months but somehow only stumbled across your videos today. All I can say is I'm so glad that I did! You have the most in depth and useful reviews + comparisons that I've come across, and seeing the cameras being used in the field have made it so much easier for me to decide what will work best for my situation. Thank you so much and keep doing what you do!

[@JakeSloan]

Thank you so much!!! That is the reason I do the reviews the way I do. I want to show everything in use in the real world as much as possible to help people decide

This is the one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5fYc3ympbeJraM

[@okystazz]

Yeah dude, price is never lie. But My budget still on a7 iii.. Do you recommend this camera in 2021, still worth it to buy? Probably i use for videography, filming, hobby, sometimes job maybe.

[@JakeSloan]

Nice It's still a fantastic camera, but for more video work I would get the A7c instead

[@electronicfellows2113]

wait for the A7 iv later this year

[@colinblin1723]

Great video. I appreciate the comparisons between both and I really liked your low light performance comparisons.

[@JakeSloan]

Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it

cheers

[@SeenThroughaLens]

Great video - thanks. I have an A7S3 and was wondering if it was worth getting the A73 for photos as I want to print around A3 size, ore do you think the A7S3 is going to be good enough. Mainly portrait photos? Cheers again

[@JakeSloan]

The A7sIII is good enough for A3 with no issues. if you want a higher megapixel camera for photo work (I do a bit as well) then I would recommend waiting to see what the A7iv has to offer later this year. Cheers!

[@SeenThroughaLens]

@@JakeSloan thanks and appreciated

[@JakeSloan]

Thank you very much! Cheers

[@tomgilchrist553]

Great video. I'm new to Sony, so what's a good all-rounder first lens for the these two cameras? What lens did you use for the side-by-sides in the vid? Thanks.

[@JakeSloan]

Glad to hear it. Most all of these shots were filmed with the tamron 17-28 which is a great lens! For a great all rounder I’d look at the tamron 28-75 or the 17-28 depending on what kind of stuff you shoot. I have a video of the lenses I use and why here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6K5dnyglN-Drdk

[@shouldersofgiants4649]

What an excellent video. Attention to explanatory detail is mighty impressive

[@JakeSloan]

Thanks

[@mariamacedo2008]

By far the best video for what I was looking for. Thanks so much for all this work!

[@JakeSloan]

You're very welcome!

[@Gmakamian]

The one thing I notice immediately is that the SIII has much better detail both in photo and video, and I think it's because of the lack of AA filter. When I moved from the original A7S mark I to the A7III, I noticed that my A7S had much better detail even though it was only 12mp. I find the A7III rather quite soft when you look at edges or high contrast scenes. I also notice the same thing with my old Fuji X-Pro1 which also has no AA filter, it has a much nicer/sharper look (though very bad dynamic range compared to the A7III. Still, the A7III is a great camera with a lot to offer but I do miss the details of the S series. Great video.

[@JakeSloan]

Agree 100%! Thanks for your very well informed thoughts and the kind words! Cheers

[@bigwaynz1]

Im making the switch to mirrorless. I do more pictures over video. Would you recommend a7iii or a7sii?

[@JakeSloan]

I would go with the A7III for more photo work or the A7rIII if you can afford it. If you can wait a few months the rumors are that Sony will be releasing the A7IV early next year. That said the A7III is a great price right now at 1,600 USD on sale

[@Pudhumaiuzhavan]

You really really done great video. I have to purchase a73. Thanks a lot

[@JakeSloan]

Glad it was helpful!

[@alexnguyen1813]

Thanks for this. Does the iso performance work in photo mode too or only in video/s log 3?

[@JakeSloan]

The ISO performance works in video and photo modes. I shot all this in standard profile not log to show what is possible straight out of camera. Cheers!!

[@briandecasa5444]

Thanks for the comparison Jake. What lens did you use for the talking head part at the beginning?

[@JakeSloan]

You’re welcome! I used the tamron 17-28 for all my talking head shots in this video. Cheers!!

[@esevideostock]

You make me grateful about a choice. Because sometimes to get something good doesn't have to be expensive. Thank you

[@JakeSloan]

Exactly right!!

[@bmagart9025]

Love your video Jake. I'm thinking of picking up the A7Siii based on your review for video. What lens would you recommend for this camera for low light indoor shooting and night time video recording? I want the perfect walkaround lens that can give me good portrait shots in low light as well and also shoot objects (not landscape) at night. Thanks in advance!

[@JakeSloan]

The best low light would be the Sony 24mm 1.4 Gm lens but it only gives you one focal length. I would recommend the Tamron 28-75 f2.8 for a great all around lens

[@bmagart9025]

@@JakeSloan Thanks so much for the advice and making my decision alot easier!

[@greatvedas]

very practical comparison. great review. thanks Jake

[@JakeSloan]

You’re welcome! Cheers

[@Tommy_ZM]

For astrophotography do you recommend the a7iii even if you're shooting videos of the sky? You said both are good but the megapixels are important

[@JakeSloan]

for videos I would go with the A7sIII

[@nick_rotondi]

I have neither camera, but am looking to get a good hybrid. Should I wait til the A7 IV?? R5? A7s3? I shoot photography more than video, probably like 65/35, 70/30

[@JakeSloan]

If you can wait till early next year then wait. Sony will likely release or at least announce the a7iv and it would be a great camera for you. The R5 and r6 are excellent photo cameras if you only ever need to shot short clips of video here and there but the over heating issues really need to get worked out to be able to use them for significant video use.

[@nick_rotondi]

@@JakeSloan Yeah, I won't really need to shoot like 10mins continuous ever, and if I do, it'd be in like 4k30 which doesn't overheat apparently.

[@JakeSloan]

Yeah then you could def go for the R5 or R6. If you do lots of landscape or bird photography then go for the R5 but if you do Astro or low light then go for the R6. It has better low light performance

[@LoriGraceAz]

I recently discovered your channel when I needed to set up my Ronin SC. I can't wait to finally get my hands on an a7SIII so I'm saving this one. BTW, what lav mic are you using? I need a good one and the audio quality is great!

[@JakeSloan]

Thanks! For almost all my on camera audio I use the Deity D3 Pro mic. You can see my review of it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJfCl4t4n8Z8i9k Cheers!

[@joshpiett8806]

Another awesome review Jake! Currently have the A7III for Real estate work. Would you think the A7Siii would be a good hybrid for photo and video for real estate?

[@JakeSloan]

well if you plan to use my affiliate link then YES. lol So if all you do it real estate photos and video then I would say sort of. The video is a big improvement in dynamic range etc so if you are doing higher end properties that you want to show off the interior as well as the views through the windows at the same time then yeah this camera will do that. If you want to film from outside into the interior or the other way around then yes since it has the shockless white balance (transitions smoothly through white balance changes) but if you don't really need those things then I'd stick with the A7III until next year when the a7iv is released. It will likely inherit some of the video features etc and be a better photo camera as well.

[@joshpiett8806]

Jake Sloan totally agree! I shoot my videos in 60 frames so having 4K 60 10bit 422 would be niceee, could always use a7iii for photos and siii for video

[@JakeSloan]

Very true and the 4K 60 and 120 is just amazing on this camera. I’m pretty much doing the same. A7iii is photos and a7sIII is video (and photos in a pinch or when I’m traveling light) cheers!!

[@DS-fi4hf]

I think the A7iii is something special, and after watching this have zero desire to upgrade. The photo comparison put the nail in that coffin. Excellent video, btw.

[@JakeSloan]

The a7iii is a fantastic value camera

[@priew04]

Awesome vdo. I absolutly clear about the image quality. I would like to know about Sony a7iii can use for vdo stock footage such as shutterstock, adobe stock. Because it is reasonable price for me. Thank from Thailand.

[@JakeSloan]

yes it would be just fine!

[@petrisorw950]

Nice and comprehensive comparison, thank you, Jake Sloan! I currently own an A6300, I use it mainly for video. I saw the difference between A7iii and A7Siii. But I wonder, is there a mind-blowing difference between A6300 and A7iii in the video department, or should I go straight to A7Siii? It's a big financial difference as you know. Thank you! I would really appreciate your opinion.

[@JakeSloan]

The difference between the a6300 and a7III would not be huge, you would see a bigger difference between the 6300 and the A7c which has better colors and much better auto focus plus the flip out screen and the battery light would be considerably better.

[@petrisorw950]

@@JakeSloan Thanks! Got it! I'll stick to A6300 for now, I'll get a 18-105 f4, besides my Sigma 16 f1.4. I'll save some more till I'll have enough for A7Siii, mean time maybe A7IV will be released.

[@RichardsWorld]

No need to teanscode for proxies. Just enable proxy recording and the proxy file is saved on the same memory card in the folder labeled "SUB". After that it is just a couple clicks in Adobe Premier to use the proxy.

[@JakeSloan]

Richard's World Traveler that is one of the workflows that works well. I haven’t had the need to do it yet but I could see people with less powerful or older computers it would be a life saver

[@mexx2602]

Thanks for the video. Another question, what mic do you use? Is it connected directly to the cam?

[@JakeSloan]

I use the Deity D3 Pro straight into the camera

[@jsarahina]

Thank you for the comparison, I see that A7III still has some advantages over A7SIII. I just want the flipping screen though but I think I'll hold on to my A7III for now. Their shots are indistinguishable side by side.

[@JakeSloan]

They are very close very very close. I would wait for the a7iv which will probably come next year and will likely get some of the video features from the A7sIII. Cheers!

[@sydneydance]

Thanks for the excellent video, the real world side by side comparisons are really good, the cave comparison is on point. Wondering if you shot everything in the cave just handheld and if you used the Gyro data to stabilise that footage? Would be really cool to see a video demonstrating hand held Gyro stabilised footage of the A7Siii vs the non-Gyro stabilised footage in a real life situation - e.g. walking up and down hills/mountain side, walking in the caves on uneven surfaces and maybe demonstrating how it looks when you do a hop (perhaps over a stream) as well. The Gyro data is really intriguing.

[@JakeSloan]

You're welcome! In the cave I used a tripod in the cave since I was running in and out a bunch and I wanted to keep things exactly in the same spot. I plan on doing a comparison video with gyro vs standard vs active stabilization soon! Cheers

Hey Jake, I have an a6500 at the moment. I mainly do video but also really enjoy shooting portraits and landscape photography. Do you think the a7sIII would provide a good enough image quality for paying clients who want portraits??? Eventually I'd want a camera for video and a separate camera for photography, but at the moment I cannot afford to do that. Excellent video by the way. It's great to see a reviewer who actually provides well thought out real world examples instead of just talking about the cameras behind a desk!

I have the Rode Videomicro and I actually think it's fantastic but not when the mic is facing away from you when you're switching from vlogging yourself to something in front of you lol I might leave the Videomicro for talking head stuff in my studio and get the Duo for vlogging

[@JakeSloan]

the d4 duo is excellent for vlogging etc exactly because of this! it's a great vlogging mic, I have a review filmed just need to edit and release it lol

@@JakeSloan awesome bro! Keen to watch it when it's out 😎😎

[@florianbarras]

Hey man ! Loved the comparison ! I'm interested in the videos you make of your hikes, cave exploration, and so on, do you have an other channel with them ? Cheers !

[@JakeSloan]

Not specifically I do try and include some of the story of getting to these places in some of my videos on this channel though

[@florianbarras]

@@JakeSloan Too bad, would be cool. Maybe an idea to think about, you seem to live an exciting life :)

What lens are you using here?

Tamron 17-28!

@@JakeSloan If on both cameras, very impressive focus response from both cameras= 3rd party lens!

Awesome!!

Hey im considering the a7 siii . now im far from a professional videographer but looking for some solid advice . I record rap battles and vlog , my main things im looking for 4k of course that can also record past 30 minutes 45 - 0ne hour preferably and up to date.future proof / and it has to be less than a year old which camera should i go for??

[@JakeSloan]

I would highly recommend the sony a7c for you! great camera for video work but less expensive than the a7siii

[@MichalOlender]

Good stuff Jake, you got yourself a new subscriber! Question, what is the tripod you were using in the video?

[@JakeSloan]

Thank you very much!! I use the Peak Design travel tripod now. It's great light weight and handles conditions well. Cheers!!

[@spencerallen2983]

Great video, as always. Thank you Jake

[@JakeSloan]

You're welcome! Cheers

[@ahmedhashmi3584]

I was expecting raw footages to grade to see if I want to buy the camera..the only thing I don't like about the A7 series is that the slog-2 are complicated to grade..does 10 bit on the a7siii make it better than the 8 bit color on the a7iii to grade footage?

[@JakeSloan]

There is a link in the description but also some slog 3 files can be found through the link in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5fYc3ympbeJraM in short though slog 3 is fantastic and 10 bit makes a huge difference in color grading in post

[@DTGL]

Awesome review, thank you!

[@JakeSloan]

Thanks a lot!

You are so great at making Comparison Thank you so much

[@JakeSloan]

You're welcome

[@OceanBoyJj]

I just got the A7SIII and im noticing that my old A7III has better sharpness and detail, I also noticed on your comparisons as well. Is it because the A7III has a 6K sensor

[@JakeSloan]

yes it is

[@MontotoProductions]

Hey Jake! You have any tips for matching both of these cameras in a video shoot situation? Is one of the Color profiles match closer to another? You touched on but could you explain? Thank you

[@JakeSloan]

The best way to match colors is to shoot in a log profile and then do color grading in post to match them up, I haven't looked into what it would take to match them up as default colors out of camera yet

[@MontotoProductions]

@@JakeSloan Thanks for the reply! I was hoping for a bit easier workflow for run and gun situations since we use multiple people and having to teach everybody how to properly expose SLog is dicey unless you know what you're doing. Thanks again!

[@Hassabo]

Great video Jake.. exactly what I wanted 👌

[@JakeSloan]

Thank you

[@dannygrau2983]

How good is the image stabilization from the a7siii when handheld?

[@JakeSloan]

It’s ok but you still need to be steady

[@FR8Productions]

amazing video… why did the A7iii look better to me in every video you did? is something wrong w me!??

[@JakeSloan]

It might just be your preference, the A7III video is sharper looking since it downsamples a 6k image vs the a7sIII's 4k image
