Sony A7sIII Full Review | Does it live up to the hype?

[@stevewelsh__]

This is probably the best footage I have ever seen come out of this camera. Would love to see a workflow breakdown or how you go about setting up a shot. Truly inspiring!

[@DreamDuoFilms]

Glad to hear that, thanks man. Will do a breakdown soon so stay tuned.

[@djencode]

Yea I have to agree! stunning footage!

[@learn9367]

Yeah I watched many videos its look best

[@a55tech]

still gay that we have to post, it should come SOOC like that lol

[@themotobuddy]

@@DreamDuoFilms it's been 3 months now and i'm still waiting

[@omarmorsi1380]

I think i speak for everyone when I say that we would all appreciate a shooting guide (white balance, color settings, etc) and S-log 3 color grading tutorial from you

[@BlakeDavis42]

Appreciate the not sitting behind a desk for the whole review!

[@DreamDuoFilms]

Guess that's our signature thing now

[@ivanfadeem5514]

Yes! Idk why most reviews are done like that

[@richardhamwi]

Love your no BS approach. KZbin needs more people like this

[@chair_smesh]

I like how you’re talking AND showing actual footage at the same time. Wasn’t expecting to watch the whole thing

[@DreamDuoFilms]

That's how we do it on this channel. Glad you enjoyed

[@Ismaililgun]

Bought it this week

[@DreamDuoFilms]

Welcome to the fam

[@mustafak4378]

Wat doe jij hier 🤣😂

[@SuperFilmregisseur]

@@mustafak4378 hahahah inderdaad man wat doet Ismail Ilgun hier met die a7s iii kopen nu is de camera geruineerd

[@themostinterestingmanyouknow]

@@DreamDuoFilms Which lenses were you using for this vid?

[@Mshbl]

Say whaaa nooit gedacht je hier tegen te komen !

[@dobroFM]

Great review! Have been thinking a lot about upgrading from a7iii, choosing between fx3 and a7siii. This video helped me a lot. Thx!

[@omarmorsi1380]

This is single handedly the best camera review I've seen for the A7s iii ! Now this is exactly how a camera review video should be, no more overly technical reviews with boring indoor camera tests. The rest of the creators should take notes !

[@AaronMcFadden]

Hands down one of the best camera’s you could buy. It totally changed my work flow.

[@TwannGoDisc]

2 minutes in & you already earned a new subscriber from me bro! LOVEEEEEEEE all of the footage, honesty, and choice of words. LOVE IT! keep up the work man!

[@ConnorRickey]

Stunning footage and review! Only thing.. I had 2 Lexar cards go corrupt on me using the A7siii. Beware.. they're not the same company they used to be! Prograde's have been killer for me. If you're buying a $3,500 body I don't get why people complain about spending a few hundred on solid SD cards that allow you to use all the features of the camera. But everyone's different I guess

[@billbuckleytutorials]

Your footage is excellent, Colours, clarity, story telling, & sound design all amazing . Your channel definitely deserves more subs. Refreshing to see your approach of showing what your footage looks like in the reviews instead of someone behind a desk promoting a new camera that Cannon or DJI or Sony gave them for free! Love it keep up the excellent work.! Would love BTS of how you shoot your stuff /Gimbal/vs handheld Lenses used etc... ( LOL without giving away all your secrets )

[@zeeemotion]

I've seen so many videos on this camera, but this was my favorite one! Great job! Loved your shots too!

[@ThatTattooGuyOfficial]

Ive been using the a6500 for the last 4-5 years also. Looking to upgrade. Thanks for the video!

[@DankTech]

Got mine a couple weeks back, spent hours watching similar videos and yours was by far the most entertaining and educational. Right on!

[@DreamDuoFilms]

Thanks man, i appreciate that

[@GLEZPhotographyFreeClips]

Got this camera right away when it was released in September 2020 and ditched my 6500. I love it. It does everything a camera needs to do. I don’t have the feeling of needing anything else. Great review by the way. Keep it up. Greetings from Germany.

[@khanstudioz9543]

how is the battery? I have an a7iii and recently hired an a7iv and literally kept changing battery every 2 hours

[@GLEZPhotographyFreeClips]

@@khanstudioz9543 I have only 2 batteries. I can’t remember that I needed the second one during one shoot. Of course it always depends. If you’re a wedding videographer and shoot the entire day straight you probably need 2 or 3. Long story short I’m very happy with the battery life coming from a Blackmagic where I literally changed the battery every 20 min.

[@eamonshields2754]

Beautiful Footage man!! We need a settings and color grading video!!

[@DreamDuoFilms]

settings is SLOG3, color grading will soon be covered here dreamduofilms.com/

[@phucmapvlog]

I see you’re using the Sigma 24-70. Being in a desert environment, did you have any dust-in-the-lens issues?

[@DreamDuoFilms]

oh man....yes. i used it for like 10 minutes shooting from a moving car in windy conditions and the lens got destroyed. I got sand underneath the glass, the focus ring, the zoom ring, it was so painful...luckily the service fucked it up even more and i got a new one for free but man...knowing this i would never buy that lens

[@phucmapvlog]

@@DreamDuoFilms sorry to hear that! I’m looking at at the sigma 28-70, hopefully they fixed the issue! Great video either way 👌🏻

[@DreamDuoFilms]

​@@phucmapvlog Thanks mate

How do you not have 100k subs yet? This video is amazing!

[@DreamDuoFilms]

Thanks. We are quite lazy when it comes to uploading frequently, haha

[@Panzardi]

Oh btw! For better ibis performance make sure to choose the focal length in the settings, using auto can cause those warp issues

[@frankiez7266]

How do you do that?

Best. Review. Hands down. Been doing a lot of research about this camera and I'm glad I came across this one.. Subscribed!

[@pimmeelhuysen]

Finally a reviewer with tons of great footage, thank you!

[@beewh001]

First time seeing one of your videos. And now I am hooked. You are amazing.

[@TheYarbros]

Nice breakdown! Appreciate you, thanks.

[@gigihanmandarin]

Footages FTW cinematic AF! I second another commenter, these are the best A73 footages on YT!

[@oswahdvlogai]

omg so good those videos bro !

[@jwate]

MacBooks become obsolete so fast. I had a fully specked 2018 Mac Pro and it struggled with out proxies. I purchased a 2022 14” base model and edits every codec like butter.

i have watched around all your videos in one night you are crazy man loving your content we need behind the scenes and tutorials more plus need a break down on silience video ! you gained a subscriber today

[@variantvision9147]

This footage has finally pushed me to switch over to Davinci... It looks so freakin good!! Instant subscribe! I have an A7siii as well and would love to see more of your color grading workflow. Keep up the good work man!

tutorial coming up soon

Welcome to the channel brother!

[@Panzardi]

This Is a clear representation of how It’s not the car it’s the driver. Amazing footage brother. Subbed! Can you make a video on how you developed your eye for composition, color and beautiful imagery? I’d love to see what a day of shooting looks like and how you get the “look “ how much contrast pivot etc. thanks!

[@DreamDuoFilms]

Thanks man, i will do a color grading tutorial soon but as for composition, that mostly just comes from experience and experimenting

[@Panzardi]

@@DreamDuoFilms will you ever upgrade to a cinema camera? If so which one would you go for?

[@OfficialTylerWhite]

Dope video man, keep it up!

[@SuperSetCA]

Color looks great here. Based on your Before shots, it looks like you're not filming in SLog3 though?

[@DreamDuoFilms]

It is all slog3 bro, i think only the golf scenes and the lady in the water where shot using cinetone

[@ruff1draft]

Absolutely beautiful colours and lovely footage. I am actually looking at the Sony A74 as it's more within my budget

[@boutthere3374]

I liked the video but what I really liked was your camera ramble towards the end concerning a6500 and gear in general. Wise words.Cheers

[@Ariel_emerald]

This is a great video. Its important to acknowledge that the A7s3 is not easier to use than some cameras, it's actually harder. im seling mine for the panasonic s5 because i just find it easier to use. but you also showed how good the camera can look when you know how to use it within its limits.

[@sambrandner]

Thanks for the review! It’s all about how you use a camera!

[@ekphotography]

Awesome video, congrats. Everything looks dope, that light in Dubai is amazing.

[@DreamDuoFilms]

Thanks man

[@RivuSouravBanerjeeVideoEditor]

Such an awesome review and loved ur honest explanation and yes .. getting an expensive camera may make your images looks good but doesn’t make u a better filmmaker.

[@girtsvoice2884]

Dude your amazing! Great review

[@ekphotography]

You're

[@PhiferFootball]

Can this camera be used as a webcam for live streams and video calls? Or should I just quit thinking about buying a great camera and stick with my canon m50 lol

[@DreamDuoFilms]

For live streams I would say canon m50 is more than enough and the a7s3 is definitely overkill

[@PhiferFootball]

@@DreamDuoFilms thank you! Does Sony have a software like canon does? Canon has the eos utility software which makes it super fast to get my files straight to my PC

[@askcleography7020]

Fantastic review and fantastic video as well

[@FeRoOOo71]

this is the best intro i ever seen, omg

[@Ismaililgun]

What is the best lens for documentaires?

[@DreamDuoFilms]

Documentaries are all about stories so any focal length you're comfortable with will work for you, but if that was a question on what are our favorite lenses for this camera, we're doing a video next week on that ;)

[@YoungBlaze]

i just got the sigma 28-70 2.8 its light and good

[@professionalpotato4764]

Mark Bone who shoots lots of docs recommends only 2 lenses so that you don't spend too much time switching stuff. He uses a 24 and 50. I might pick something like a 24-70 or 24-105 (the range and OIS will help if you move around a lot) + 50mm.

[@coreymach_]

@@professionalpotato4764 I have a Sigma 24-70 and Sony 55. Thats all. Been a great combo for one man band

[@professionalpotato4764]

@@coreymach_ Definitely the setup I'm aiming for too when I eventually switch to Sony.

[@swiftlnd7112]

Not sure if you know this yet, but the a7siii can actually create proxies in camera so you don't have to let your computer sit and create them from scratch. It also gives you the option of creating 720p or 1080p proxy files. The only thing to keep in mind is the 720p proxies are 8bit color and the 1080p proxies are 10 bit. This is important because if you do color grading to the 8bit proxy files and then turn the proxies off to render, you will notice a color shift, because your color grading or luts will look different on 10 bit footage vs 8 bit footage.

[@LouYorkLife]

Great review, advice ans practical. The video and pictures are straight 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥.

[@kyleharrison2389]

Really sorry you don't have an affiliate link for this camera. It was this video that made me pull the trigger on this to add to my A7Siii. Looking forward to more great content.

great review and awesome footage! I am eyeballing the a7s3 or the FX3 each have features I want and need but neither is a complete package for me. both would be a big investment for me as I would need all new glass too *I have used Panasonic Gh5 for last 4 years.

The camera retails on Amazon today for almost $3,500.00. With various full frame lenses you are looking at around $5-6500 dollars.

[@leonardodavinci6625]

Cheap

[@Sulfen]

It's not really meant to be a consumer camera so the price is really good.

[@bmkq2007]

at 14:31 what is that in the left corner side taking off?

[@DavidHLee]

what a video man~ nice footage! yeah the APSC series is definitely not used by many to it's full potential. I also started with the a6500 and upgraded to a6600 for the flip screen and longer battery and it's a beast in a small package. was thinking of a new full frame coming up, A7S3 or wait for the A74 next year. the photos on the A7S3 look good enough for the casual photographer for sure. great points and review thanks 👍

[@sonamsharma342]

Wow great video. I see you were shooting at 4k 50fps. Can you tell me what lenses you use primarily for your videos? Thanks so much!

[@MarcinHaFilms]

Beautiful footage... and those colors. As owner of a7iii is painful 😂

[@learn9367]

Which lens did you use most for filming with it?

[@KB-yk7ed]

this camera is awesome. I have been shooting short films since 2014.

[@tincset]

Excellent review! I am still trying to decide whether to pick up this one or the fx3. Will be one or the other for sure!

[@DreamDuoFilms]

Just remember that you will be happy with either one. Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@liamriley9816]

The SIII has an incredible EVF, and while you might not like having a camera up to your eye when shooting video, the EVF is far better for previewing recorded footage out in the field than the rear screen.

[@tincset]

@@liamriley9816 Indeed! You have a point here. I have to say I went for the FX3 and I am very happy with it so far! The rear screen is quite bright even in harsh sunlight.

[@YoSoyElCapi]

Great info, thanks man!

[@lecommis6842]

I like the fact that your A6500 is scratched everywhere, mine is still too fresh, gotta play with it more often.

[@parasinthephilippines]

Great content given the heavy restrictions on Filming in the UAE.

[@DreamDuoFilms]

That was soooooo annoying, i just don't get it

[@parasinthephilippines]

@@DreamDuoFilms Because Dubai is a Muslim country. Their is a phobia about filming a woman who is not wife or family. Under sharia law you could be arrested for doing so. Hence the phobia about Filming. I have the FX6 and the A7s3 and basically use my ZV1 for filming here.

[@DreamDuoFilms]

@@parasinthephilippines I understand that, but it's annoying that they always say that you can film with your phone but not with the camera, or that you cannot use your gimbal or external microphone....that to me doesn't make any sense, like even at places during sunrise where there is clearly no one around...

[@babyboy1971]

I shoot only Fuji but want to try Sony. Would you recommend the A6700?

[@LegacyInBlood]

Nice review! Would you say a7siii or a6400 is better for photos?

Fantastic video. How do you go about the tought process of capturing the footage you do and how you put it together.

How do you expose slog3? are you always +2 stops over? This is the best footage I've seen from this camera.

mostly at +1.3 and +1.7, but some times +2, it really depends on the situation and what do i prioritize

[@ailing9119]

Do you have recommendations for a camera that does both good video and photos? I am more of still photo person and have for a long time stuck to Canon eos. Will the eos lens fit on the Sony?
