Which One to Buy? | Sony a7III, Sony a7RIII, or Sony a9 (Wait for Sony a7SIII?)

[@skateboardsenate]

i bought the a7rii because i was sick of waiting for the a7iii. and i found an open box a7riii and i scooped it for $2578.53 USD or $3400 CDN im pretty stoked!!

[@TarmanTheChampion]

Damn! That's a pretty penny for a camera! I bet the quality of the photos speak for themselves though! I'd love a camera like that, but I drop things too often haha!

[@BoxxyFan]

Which one should I buy? The sports action camera? The high resolution? Or the budget model? The answer is really in the question

[@snowwalker9999]

Most reviewers recommend A7 iii. I am glad you chose A7R iii as the jack of all trades. That would be my choice too. Thanks for great reviews!

[@user-jh1mq2ih2u]

Watching this again in 2020 .. now that the prices have dropped like crazy where the a73 is now under 1600 and the a7r3 is rough going for under 2grand which would you prefer ?

[@jonathanmontalvo127]

So do you prefer The a7riii for video over the rest?

[@Jez1963UK]

Which one would you go for for Street Photography ? The silent mode is what is what really attracts me to the A9. I intend to get it with the Batis 40mm lens. I feel that combination would be best for my needs. I'm not into zoom lenses and silent would work perfectly. I'm not into cropping, so I'm not into getting a high Megapixel image and crop it, that to me is not photography as I prefer to practice it (I like to compose my image in the viewfinder). So, A9 for Street Photography ?

Where has this guy been? Omg

[@Eli-lb1lc]

[@LPU4LIFE7]

Great video! Say you were to keep a camera for 5 years or maybe longer. Would you go the a7iii with the newer autofocus system or the a7riii with more MP? Btw I do events/weddings mostly.

[@njrtech]

Best video discussing these cameras. I chose A7riii myself.

[@RO-rv3fj]

Which one would you recommend for wedding photography/portrait

[@tylerkirk114]

I see that bang in the background. Great video my man!

[@peterdekeles.]

Thanks. Still on fence between A7Rii and Nikon D850. Flip a coin?

[@waipahutube]

Question: which image is better A7R3 crop mode vs A6500? given that there is a lot of light?

[@ninarosaphotography2039]

Thanks so much. Love your explanation.

[@lordofthelints]

I currently have an A7R2. What should you do? Sell it at an immensive loss and buy the A7R3? Or keep it and buy an A73 to supplement it? In that way I’ll keep my 42mp for landscapes and have a nicer body for general photography... I am not sure on how many times I will be really using the A7R2 after that though... any thoughts or experiences from others?

[@kshitijmukhia3576]

Awesome job on the detailed review .. made things much clear

[@georgeappiah8314]

please which one is good for videos shooting

[@babu7141]

What if you want to shoot events, landscapes and wildlife??

[@Karthig1987]

Excellent video thanks

[@outofoffice4757]

Thank you for the information. I have been thinking about moving to a full frame camera, but finding one that fits my needs the best has been difficult. Up until now, I have done manly run and gun personal travel videos/vloggs, stock photography, and am now starting to do some actual photo shoots.

[@kamotionmarketing]

As always great video. So for me...is the auto focus actually better on the a7siii? Or just more screen coverage. I know there are more autofocus points...did that translate to better autofocus in the real world? I have the riii...but need a second body. My preference would be 2 bodies and menus exactly the same. Thanks rp

[@tfsamrtguy]

Holds a7iii, calls it a9.

[@0ooTheMAXXoo0]

These three cameras have exactly the same body shape / size.

[@newvoice6453]

A9 for Sports & Nature ,,,,,, 7R iiii For Modeling ,, A7 iii is for Wedding ..all rounder ,,

[@friartuckfriartuck]

maraming salamat po!!! MABUHAY!!!

[@sufcohenphotographer3193]

Is the a9 really much better at lowlight? I have a7iii and thinking on another body for weddings.

[@timdmx512]

can you tell me what the red discs are attached to the camera? this is the 2nd time I have seen them on a youtubers camera. cheers

[@montanezjoe]

It's a Peak Design quick release camera strap system. The strap is not attached here but the mounts are still on

[@ricardosaucedo7258]

Great video. You're doing a great job. Keep the videos coming. Much appreciated. I was going to buy an A7iii to record youtube videos, but now I think I'll wait and learn how to use my cheap DSLR I bought a few years back and never used. I hope I can start making good videos like you so I can justify a big purchase like an A7iii. You're an inspiration. Thanks!

[@samsargdong1135]

Hi,thanks for your interesting review. One question :When using the crop mode does the luminosity of the lens change?Bye!

[@theFATEfactory]

Exactly, why I just now ordered the Riii over getting x2 7iii's lol! I'm also not selling my Rii because it's still an AMAZING camera, and I can use it as backup and also has the timelapse apps in it! #giveusprouserswholikeitourappsbacksony! Cheers and happy shooting!

[@barrycrawford1117]

Outstanding short analysis!

[@excipiomedia]

Just buy one of each... I did ! I use the A73 mainly for video, the A7R3 for portraits and landscapes and the A9 for sports and indoor action stuff.

[@joshelias8472]

[@jkerman5113]

Bro you must be stacked, I'm jealous!

[@eddyhighland6033]

That makes no sense. Can’t the A9 do everything?

[@0ooTheMAXXoo0]

The A9 is $4199 USD list price these days. Sony lowered the price on several cameras after the A7 III came out. The original a7 is $799 list now. I cannot wait for sale prices on that one. The A7SII is $2199 list, A7RII is $1999 list, the A6500 is $1099 list price...

[@al3xduda48]

Sony needs a long fast telephoto zoom and or prime

[@al3xduda48]

EMRE QRBSN I'm talking like 400mm and up

[@eddiek.2192]

I have the A9... do think I should keep it or go for the A7riii?

[@locoderemate]

Thanks. A7R3.

[@garnel66]

I shoot with Nikon D500& D750. Thinking of moving to sony. Shoot sports and lifestyle along with video. I'm wanting to improve video especially the focus. I'm thinking of the A7R 3 more especially as £500 extra over the A73. What's your advice ? Many thanks

[@Newtperc]

Until he has a chance to reply to you, scroll through his collection of videos. He is incredibly thorough and he has probably answered every question you could possible have. Also Max Yuyev's channel is extremely thorough.

[@klackon1]

I have just swapped my D500 system and EM1 mark II system for an A7III + Sony 100 - 400mm f4.5/5.6 + Sony 90mm macro and a second hand Sony 28 - 70mm kit lens (I will only use this lens a few times a year). Brilliant though the D500 and EM1 mark II are, after only 10 days I prefer my A7III. I photograph wildlife almost exclusively and the quality of the images is fabulous. Low light performance, dynamic range and autofocus are really something. Had I not needed a new central heating boiler I would have chosen a Sony A9; but since purchasing my A7III I've changed my mind. This camera will do me nicely and I have no regrets.

[@JuVPower]

Im in the same position, stills with nikon and video with gh5 and 4. Too much different camera for the efficiency. I think me and my girlfriend gonna take A73

[@trevorwarner6196]

Question: i shoot with an A7ii and am considering up grading, is the image quality any better on the A7iii with the BSI cmos. I am not interested in video and i am trending toward the 7Riii

[@spinnerfok]

I see USC written behind the wall, what a expensive film school. Thanks for your effort.

[@martinmoore8216]

Thanks heaps. Helping me decide. M

[@ZoltanF1LH]

I am thinking on A7RII or A7RIII because I could use the 24-240 as a walk around lens for holidays pics and to get further reach I could use the crop mode. I could get an A7RII used for £1500 or A7RIII for £3200 new. Is the A7RIII worth that much more?

[@0ooTheMAXXoo0]

A7III silent shutter is not ideal. Maybe recommend the A9 for weddings instead as the silent shutter is a huge deal there.

[@andersistbesser]

A9 of course best autofocus and the fastest cam around more dials. Its the top of sony

[@churchillcoins8519]

Great review. Thank you. If I use converted lenses Canon L with the Metabones will it effect the quality and/mega pixels in the A7RIII?

[@attilahardy3448]

@thatonecameraguy do you have, can suggest someone's, or could you make a menu, settings, and set up video for the Sony A9

[@77dris]

I think that's where Canon got things right... 30 MP is really a good sweet spot for camera resolution (not to mention the raws are lossless compressed). sRaw and mRaw are fantastic too. I'd love the A7III, but 24 MP is a downgrade from my 5D. Otherwise, the A7III is a near perfect camera, especially for the price.

[@MykolaChurpita]

Great vid) I was waiting for such an info for 2 month) It will gather all hype)

[@completelystupid87]

All I look for is the crop-in comparison between 3 camera when shooting video, no one talks about it, please make a vid comparison. I know the A7sii crop-in insanely when shooting 120p at 1080p to the point that it’s unusable imo

[@louiselliott3718]

2 Years later a7sIII finally announced

[@ima245]

I need your help people! In my country the a7R iii is around $3,400 and the a7 iii is around $3,000!! So of course when you se the price of the a7 iii you really want to give a bit more and get the a7r iii. The point here is which one is better? I really don’t need the extra megapixels, but the a7 iii is so expensive here and I’ll use it more for video.

[@StarrTouch]

I heard the A7III can only record 4k to one of the card slots so you cant duel record if doing 4k

[@petermarquez4527]

I'm thinking of getting a7iii would this be good for shooting family event, kids running around, also i have 24-70 2.8 tamron lens first gen.that I use on my canon ti5, what adapter is best to use or trade in and get Sony lens??

[@diegocontrerasegoaguirre8844]

Great video! But why you dont speak about playmemories and the luck of timelapse in all models? Also the 240fps mode thats missing from the 1080p I think its tragic

[@mannyvidsnyc]

If money wasn’t an object, and you were a intermediate camera user who wanted a camera that could stay with you into a professional career. who did 50% photo 50% video which would you choose, a7III OR A7RIII?

[@Daguigoz]

Manny Vids depends on what is the use. Id say a7iii and get the lens!

[@emilkanaris7274]

which lens? For travel videos

[@DaryleHamel]

If MONEY wasn’t an object, the 7Riii all day long. Video 95% as good as the 7iii and with photos, 180% as good as the other two, no brainer IMO.

[@leaningtower73]

@@emilkanaris7274 I would get the new Tamron 28-75 f/2.8 lens. A really superb lens to always keep in your camera bag is the Sony Zeiss 55 f/1.8! I love mine

[@waynewalkerorg]

As an owner of Sony's from the a6000, to the a7s, a7sII, a6300, a6500, and now the a7rIII (also the RX100IV, RX100V), the a7rIII is the pinnacle of mirrorless tech for those who need to do it all. Top of the line photography, with excellent video features. Can't wait for the a7SIII to drop so I can really see where mirrorless video is heading with Sony.

Jack of all trades at a great price. Correct! sooner or later one camera will take all the great features of both a gh5 and the A7lll. That will be a good camera maybe the GH6 or the A7Slll? LOL

Question i bought the sony a7sii with the Sony Distagon T* FE 35mm f/1.4 ZA Lens it wasn't cheap i bought everything new. Is this option relevant in 2018 or u think i should of when with something else? I'm jus using it for short film, music videos, & interviews.

[@dieterpaterek3720]

Great video, I got the A9 , my main direction is nature, in this respect I miss the 7RII which I had priviously. I liked the 42 M since you can crop a 500mm easy to 800mm and saving you the expense of that lens. I sold my RII for a better auto focus but I will go for the R III. But I will keep the A9.Presently I use a Canon 500mmf4II with a metabones. Thanks for your videos. Dieter
