    Use This With S-Log3 or Else…

    I don’t even know where to start…. But I will start here. This is NOT a perfect camera. However, no camera is. But, for the price point, it’s really hard to beat. If you check the YouTube videos, you will see everyone talking about the capabilities of this camera. I can’t deny any of the capabilities. The low-light performance is tremendous - especially when you pair it with a quality lens like the Sigma 24-70 f2.8. The dual native ISO took a bit getting used to, especially at ISO 12,800. My suggestion is to get a variable ND Filter to save you the time and frustration of over-exposing your shots - even for S-Log3. Since I am primarily a videographer, it works perfect for me. When taking photos, I do see some lacking in the quality because of its 12 megapixel sensor, but I knew what I signed up for when I purchased. Coming from the Canon ecosystem, and from DSLR lines, this camera is hard to have buyers mobile remorse for. It was everything I wanted in a mirrorless video-centric camera. I am trying to use this more for vlogging but I also have the ZV-E10 and that camera is great because of how small it is. Lugging the A7SIII around all day, especially with a bigger zoom lens can start to wear on you. I’m currently using it with the Atomos Ninja V+ and the quality that comes out of this thing is just unbelievable. That ProRes RAW footage is astounding. The one thing I will say is that to get the most out of this camera, you need to understand how to color correct and color grade S-Log 3 footage. There is no getting around it. If you don’t, you may as well get an APS-C camera like the ZV-E10 (or any other 8-bit camera) and get a better lens - depending on your goals. That will save you a ton of cash.

    This is currently my favorite camera. I had the Sony A7sii and the Canon 5d mrk iii and by far this camera is my go-to. The speed of the autofocus and the ability to go wifi or Bluetooth opens up so many options as far as monitors or devices. I do run and gun car videos and this camera allows me to take great 4k videos and the photo images are really clean.

    I ONLY upgraded this camera from the Sony A7SII because of the Auto Focus and the 240fps. Without, I wouldn't have bought it. I had saved up cash to make this purchase and it hit different this time when I handed over $4000 cash for this camera. lol. File sizes are WAY bigger than the A7SII files!

    The Sony a7SIII is an amazing piece of tech. The quality of video this camera can produce is mind blowing. Sony continues to improve on their auto-focus & stabilization. Depending on the lens you’re using, you almost don’t need a gimbal for basic movements.

    This camera is great for shooting 4k video, especially in low light situations. I've never owned a digital camera that wasn't an iPhone, and the video footage on this thing is insane. Even though this camera only has 12MP, each megapixel is 8.4 microns big. That's almost five times bigger than the pixel size of an iPhone 12 Pro Max. The 4K footage is insane, especially if you shoot in S-Log 3 or in ProRes Raw using a Ninja V. As for the stills, there's not the greatest, but they beat any smartphone out on the market, and a lot of cheaper DSLR's and Mirrorless Cameras as well. If You want great stills go with the Sony Alpha 1, if you want great video especially in low light go with the Sony Alpha 7S III.

    I am absolutely blown away by this camera. I bought it alongside an Atomos Ninja V, and have shot a decent amount both internally (10bit 4:2:2 h264) and externally (10bit 4:2:2 Prores). ProRes definitely adds a lot of clarity and flexibility to color grading but holy crap the internal footage is nothing to sneeze at! I previously owned an a7iii and was disappointed how badly it captured Log footage. This camera puts all of that to rest. I only shoot in Log now, and it’s the best footage I’ve ever had in my life. I use the Phantom Arri LUTS with the footage and it almost entirely negates the need to color grade (almost, not entirely) HIGHLY recommend this camera!
