  1. Starting to get a little frustrated here is Australia. I pre ordered day after launch and Im still waiting. My store got stock but only a third of what they were expecting. Yet Sony managed to get that a7c piece of shit out into stores quickly. They only had 3 years to get the a7siii right!

    Plug it in via USB and you have a perfect computer microphone.

    I have found the output on the mic quite through my headphone as a USB mic on the Mac. Will need to play with the settings to see if I can increase the volume.

    My Sony a9, has had 6 major firmware releases over a 3 year period, and some of those firmware upgrades literally brought it some amazing features and usability (eye AF, animal eye AF, intervalometer, video eye AF, etc, etc..  They do these firmware upgrades based on the processor, sensor, and body capabilities.  

    I enjoy the A9 a lot. I would love just one more update on the a9, its never going to happen. PICTURE PROFILES. 

  4. I don't mind them. Like all our gear, there are different tools for different scenarios. I have used them to monitor an audio recorder wirelessly, used them to pass backup audio to the camera, even used them as a wireless headphone monitoring solution.  

    I only use them as a "main source" over very short distances, but they are so tiny they are handy to have in your kit. 

  5. Wow I will be picking one of theses up

    I had the photo version and really liked the lens. Just was not great for video.

     

    Caleb Pyke mentions them at around 4:15 in this video.

    meanwhile Sony adds a picture profile to the FS5 and has the nerve to call it a MK2.. the hype train is real these days..

    getting back to BMD, this is how you do a real camera follow up!

     

    Maybe this is why the left picture profiles off the a9. Saving them for the a9ii.

    cant stand the look of the BMD, but for that price I’m buying one. I think it’s time for my video camera to just be a video camera. Im kind of sick of stuffing around with Sony alphas for video. And sick of waiting for a7siii. 

    Just wish the pocket had internal nd filter. Cause I’m also sick of carrying around nd filters!

    Yeah if the FS5mk2 doesn't get 4K 10bit then I rate at near 0% chance that an a7Smk3 released this year will have 10bit internal. 

    The only thing that makes me think that maybe the a7siii might have somthing good up it’s sleve, is the length of time it’s taking to hit the market. We were expecting it at last NAB in response to the gh5.  Hopefully, the longer it takes the better it will be. 

    The fs5 strategy is a bit weird. It would be interesting to know if any hardware has changed at all. Maybe this is Sony’s way of getting out of firmware updates. Just release a new model. It’s seems to work with the consumer line so maybe the pro line are following suit. 

    Im still waiting for PP on the a9. Dont think it’s going to happen. 

    I wish Sony were more open with there users. Like the a9. If you never plan to put PP on the camera, just come out and say it.

    Fantastic news!! This makes a FS700 much more attractive, as I too didn't want to use a 7" monitor with i

    I have seen the fs700 quite cheap around Australia lately. Might be time to pick one up and pair with the new ninja. 

    Wonder what high frame rates it will support?

  9. Some of the physical differences.

    a7riii/a9 has better evf 

    a7riii/a9 has a better screen. A7iii 920 000 dots / a7riii has  1440 000 dots

    This is probably the reason battery lasts longer on A7III

    a7iii has a plastic back plate on the camera and not magnesium like a7riii/a9. This may have an effect on heat. 

    Lesser memory in the the a7iii and maybe different cpu but this is not confirmed.

    apprantly a7iii is rated for 200k actuations and 500k on a7riii. But I have not found a reliable source of info on that. 

    They could be using an older shutter and maybe this is why there is no pixel shift feature.

    I did not see any claims one ibis either?

    Well the Sonyalpharumors rumors were pretty wide of the mark

    SonySPAMrumors are often of the mark. Like when a7siii was ranked highest in there stupid ranking system last year. Then we got the riii instead. 

    Pretty sure I have enough cookies to open a bakery after I visit that site!

    If Atomos finally offers a compact external recorder with the capabilities of the Shogun Inferno

    I’ve been hoping for this for years. It’s one of the reasons I never went for the fs5. Would be an awesome setup.

    im thinking more along the lines of a refresh rather than a big update on the fs5. There is some shitty parts on the fs5 and maybe they update the mount like on the fs7. 

    I’m thinking that if they do something like the a9s it would be priced similar to the fs5 to protect the pro video line. 

    They might go 10 bit in the a7siii but I can’t see it having better features than the fs5 unless the price is raised. 

    Im sick of waiting for it and hope that it lives up to the hype.

    Looks like nice camera! Also with NINE "new" native primes from Sigma this could turn out to be a home run for Sony.

    Looks like Sigma are also offering a conversion service to convert your current lenses in a different mount to emount. Not sure on pricing of the conversions. 

  13. AHHHH! I bought the a9 2 weeks ago. The a7iii does better video!  I did get the a9 new for cheaper than an a7riii though so can't complain too much. 

    This just killed the resale value of the a7rii. And the price was already falling. I have see the a7rii price drop down to 1500 usd used in Australia.
