Alpha 7S III

Looking at just numbers, it's not worth it. Honestly look at the numbers, $30/hr x 5hrs = $150. The cost of renting from your local camera store, the most newest camera (canon r5 or sony a7siii) is about that much or likely higher. You're basically working for fun or loss.

Lol. An A7SIII is not a cine rig.

This is a crap excuse. It’s not that features are stripped. It’s the fact that Sony KNOWS that cameras are getting bricked and crippled. Yet, they are making customers pay for fried motherboards and arguing with them about how ITS NOT their fault. Don’t get me wrong i appreciate them still adding fe

The newer firmware versions can break wireless and audio features on a subset of Sony cameras. These issues have impacted the A7S III, FX3 and other Sony models. Most cameras update without issue. Some do not. It is not a user issue, it's a Sony issue. The impacted cameras work perfectly on the 2.x

An S1ii costs less than an FX3 and outperforms it. If I didn't have Sony glass I'd take that over an FX3 or FX30 any day (I'm still shooting Sony with over 1k paid gigs done on an a7siii/FX3 so not a Panasonic shill, just being objective)

Brother these are at best Osmo Pockets screen shots, looks likes it might even be smaller sensor action cam. No way this is my A7SIII sensor

Hmm nikon and lumix seem more relevant in a number of ways. Sony is still all about a7siii and fx3/6.

I’ve been burnt twice on A7S3 firmware updates with repair costs at my expense (!!), I’m never touching another firmware update again. It’s not even remotely my fault Sony decided to substitute parts AND write firmware that doesn’t work with all the parts THEY have shipped….

In 5.9k and 6k Open Gate lowlight performance is even better and you can get away even with 25600. Sony and Lumix ISO is different and 12800 on Panasonic is brighter (and sharper) than same iso value on A7S3 or FX3. I agree about 24 mpxespecially with all social media requirments where even 10 megap

A6700 only has 800/2500, 12800 refers to FX3, A7Siii, that's why I'm afraid with my APS-C
