a7 III

lessons learned: Shoot 4K even if your final video will be 1080p. Downscaled video looks a lot sharper and also denoised. 1080 footage looks horrible on those cameras. You should have tried it. Also bitrate is not enough to handle wide shots as far as I remember. (but I'm not sure if a7iii shoots 50

I think it is quite hard to spot banding, but it's also more like "set it once per area" rather than micromanaging it per shot. There's situations where you won't be able to stop every light from banding too, where 90% (mains-fed bulbs) might be stable at 1/50 but then others (cheap dimmed LED for e

All you can do is open up your aperture as far as you can and use the slowest shutter speed you can. Other than that it is adding a lot more light or dealing with the noise. Indoor photography sucks unless it involves pretty powerful lighting. Cameras need a lot more light than human eyes and human

A6k uses the wrong method to record video. Instead of oversampling, which is what nearly every other hybrid camera's doing, it skips lines. That means that it doesn't use the whole sensor for it. Consequently the quality isn't better than from a phone. There are issues with noise, aliasing, moire an

That's the same age as the Sony A7III, and nobody would look twice at a professional using that. Only roughly a stop difference between the two. I've been paid to shoot with an X-T3. With f/2.8 zooms or f/1.4 primes, it can absolutely hang with professional cameras in many use cases. An f/3.5-6.3 su

Not sure about your T5i (Likely too old to be useful anyway) but something to keep in mind is your A7 (A7 mk 1?) likely has a 30 minute recording limit (My A7III does anyway) so you'd have to figure a work around for that at a minimum. I think both cameras are also likely too old to be run over USB

I have both A7iii and FX30. The video image on the FX30 is so much better, sharper, nicer colors, more film like-ish look. The active stabilization is decent. I use it with my Sony full frame glass. It’s comparable to the A7iii in low light if not better. It’s by no means an FX30 but you can push wa

A7iii is the full-frame option here. However, in terms of video capability it is worse than the FX30 or the ZVE10. As it can only shoot 4k 8bit at 30fps when the other can do 4k 10bit at higher frame rate. So choose according to your need, deciding if shooting at higher frame rate (slow motion capab

the noise seems to increase when I half press or fully press the shutter. It’s insane to me. I’ve never had any issues with noise in video at all what shutter speeds with video? 1/60th at the fastest? yeah that would have less noise than 1/500th. repeating what's already been asked, are you shooting

I didn't say it was wrong, I said it's relatively slow for handheld even with ibis. I have the a7iii as well and sometimes struggle handheld in dark settings at 1/60. I just am wondering if these photos are shot handheld or with a tripod or some other means of stabilizing the shot
