Believe me, I WISH I could do Picture Profiles on my a9, but unfortunately, the Sony cripple hammer has kept the picture profile options from the a9 series.  So with the a9 it is what it is when it comes out of the camera.  I will say though, that the a9's video quality straight out of camera is pretty dang good (for a 4:2:0 8bit camera)

I agree. While playing around with the A7SIII Slog3 footage that has been posted makes me drool, the A9 will give you a fairly malleable image at Standard (or Neutral) -3-3-2.

You have to follow the camera news, CIZ disables AF in A7SIII unless they change it down the road.

Ah, that’s too bad. Thanks for the info.

The zoom feature can be used with clear image zoom, the digital zoom.  This doesn't work with the A7SIII as clear image zoom disables AF.

There are some aps-c lenses with motorized zooms (affordable), but the full frame ones are in the $10K+++ range.

So for the A7SIII, this isn't going to work. 

Is this specific to the A7SIII? CIZ in video mode doesn't disable AF on my cameras (A9, A6500), but face af isn't available, so I guess it's contrast based. It works well though, I use it all the time.

Controlling CIZ remotely works on the older cameras with apps, but not on my A9.  Although it might on other newer models.  This chart (referring to compatibility with Sony's desktop software) shows how the original A9 lacks certain features, https://support.d-imaging.sony.co.jp/app/imagingedge/en/devices/

This is awesome! Exactly the affordable product/solution I’ve been waiting for. I’ll admit that I love my Sonys, but Blackmagic is the leader of innovation right now.

None of the 1080p modes on A7S III are supersampled from full sensor readout, 24p to 60p are pixel binned, 120p is pixel binned and lineskipped, 240p is futher pixel binned lineskipped (to 1420 x 804)

Oh no! Maybe too good to be true, although this Sony rep seems to believe otherwise https://youtu.be/AqMkfBRIH5w?t=5153 (cued to where he talks about it).
