A7III

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

Yeah, you’re gonna need a dummy batt. But none of this matters because your A7III is going to overheat and shutdown anyways…

Yea, the jump from the a7III to the a7SIII and newer Sony FF mirrorless is a big one. Not just 10-bit color but also general color science and image rendering. The a7SIII sensor is what's in the FX6, though I know a lot of pros would rather use interframe codecs for everything, so XAVC S is definite

They all use the same sensor (Sony IMX410). Most 24MP full frame mirrorless cameras (other than Canons, the original Z5, and the latest models) use this same sensor. So the A7iii, Z6, Z6ii, ZF, Panasonic S5, etc. The A7iii is roughly equivalent to the original Z6. And you’ll note that the used Z6 pr

It really depends on what kind of videos you're planning to shoot. If you're going to record anything longer than 30 mins you're probably better off with a FX3. The issue with all hybrid cameras is that they don't have the thermal capabilities to do what you need it to do. If you're filming in warm

Upgrade one camera. Do you really need all three to shoot slow motion? I don’t think you’re gonna find a “workaround” for getting 60fps to look good on the a7iii, its 1080p modes look pretty bad. Moving from an a7iii to an a7siii was an absolute night and day upgrade for me.

The A7iii only records 8 bit internally. I'm not a fan of shooting log on that camera.

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

You can make the A7III a webcam, but it can overheat and I think it's only 1080. You can record out to HDMI with a NinjaV, though you'd want the H265 extension as the other codecs take up a ton of room.

Agree with your post and your conclusions, even though a Sony a7iii is older than the R7 (worse AF, slower, no 4k60) but still more expensive. At the end of the day you get similar performance for similar prices; but then you might want to add faster primes, wider angles -> FF; or rather tele, macro
