What the hell man. Nothing to do with fan boy, i dont care about Sony go see other threads where I make bold critics on them. I am sorry but you dont know how that IBIS will compare with the A7, the 10 bit external is fully useless for me and many people : I buy a mirrorless for its small size, not to put an external recorder on it. The battery life is half of the A7 and the AF points less than half. Not to mention the new lens mount means not many options for years. The ergonomics will kill the Sony and it has better things too (codec and colours in video probably, EVF resolution, ...) but overall it's not really innovative. I would have much preferred buy a Z6+7 than an A7SIII + A7RIII for video and stills, but there is absolutely 0 doubt the A7SIII will be much better for video. When it comes to Z7 and A7RIII for stills I would rather buy the Z7 but it does not make sense to not have a combo from the same manufacturer. I sent back my A7III this week. Waiting to see the A7SIII and what Canon brings to the table

Lol.

What people here forget when saying those cam are better video specced than Sony, is that the A7S3 is around the corner and Nikon won’t release a Z equivalent. The S3 will blow those copy cat for video. It was nikon’s chance to release something better than Sony but as good Japanese companies they decide to be conservative in every aspect. we need a occidental camera company.

Z7 specs out. Same stuff. 3600 EUR. Plus images show 1 card only. Nikon waited 5 years only to release a Sony copy with better grip and worst specs for 500$ more? Cant wait to see canon 2014 tech mirrorless.....

HDMI out is useless. If you have possibility to add all kind of accessories and screen then buy a proper camera. I buy this for the size and weight

I don't see 100mbps the weak link if H.265. People here do not seem to realize H.265 efficiency compared to H.264. 100mbps H.265 is perfect balance of quality/weight imo.

4K60p is so important in a Camera for me I am so bad only the GH5/1DX have it. In a drone however for me it's just a nice to have. Would have been great, but 1" 4K30p 10 bit in a Mavic size package is what I am asking since the Phantom 4 Pro release. Of course it could do 4K60P but the Phantom has to exist. They fucked up. IMO it should be: Mavic Air : small sensor small portable drone Mavic Pro : 1" sensor what it is with the 2 but with 4K60P Phantom 4 Pro : upgrade to M43 sensor Inspire: what it is, which means APSC sensor. I am pretty sure the P5 will be M43 sensor, and then the Mavic Pro 3 will have 4K60P.... It is how it is, marketing segmentation and so on.... Having 2.7K60p for when slowmo is needed (rarely on a drone) is better than nothing. Now with this Mavic Pro 2 I just need Sony or Canon (it's dead for Nikon with the Z6/7) to release a 4K60p FF mirrorless and I am good to go. Until next year

NikonRumors shared those specs this morning 100% reliable according to him. See above. We know all about it. The AF points you talk about on Canon have nothing to do with video AF. Dual Pixel AF you do not count the point because all pixels are points. The official AF points for Nikon is 200ish and 400ish for Z6/Z7, see exact number on Nikon Rumors. A shame that Nikon decided to cripple the Z6. What is more a shame is only 4K30P. Also IBIS is confirmed.

Disappointment for me. specs are out, 30fps only in video. The Z6 has a bad AF for video so you need the expensive Z7. Unlike Sony who gave everything to the A7III, Nikon is doing like the D750/850 where only the latter has the good stuff. Z6 will be useless. Z7 is going to be a A7RIII with better ergonomics which is great but what I am supposed to do now? Have a Z6/Z7 for stills and A7S3 for video, or A73/R3 for stills and A7S3 for video so i can share the lenses....

Comparison with the amazing D750 grip. Sony, please give us 4K60p on the lower mpx one (Z6), with IBIS and video AF as good as A7III and I will pay any price for this + a Z7 for stills. Those are basically A7III / A7R III with way better grip / ergonomics / menus / flat profile and colours (see D850...). Now because Nikon won't release a A7S competitor I hope they have put the best video features (4K60p) in the Z6 that compete with A7III. However I am afraid they just copied the A7III / RIII specs and did not look back.... Too bad because I will have to get an A7S III (and keep the A7III for stills to go with it) instead of those. Fingers crossed.

https://www.fujirumors.com/fujifilm-x-t3-video-4k-at-60p-10-bit-and-zebra/ I could not care less about this APSC camera but I like this. The more 4K60p 10 bit camera on the market, the more chance people like Sony put this (or better) in their cameras like A7S III. I would love to have the new Nikon Z camera having 4K60p... would be amazing and would replace my A7III (assuming AF is as good).

100% agree. AS LONG AS having 24mp allows for better video features. It seems difficult in today's tech to have 24MP + 4K60P ... ... If Canikon releases an A7III copy (same video feature and quality, AF on par, stills on par, IBIS) I will buy it. In fact the Canon will have better AF for sure and probably worst video feature and still quality. Nikon will have better still quality (Dynamic Range as always) but AF is a question. THEN I will buy it to replace my A7III. Why? Because in the past for DSLRs Sony was always behind and always the brand releasing good specs on paper but worst in real use. Honestly they did not change much when you see all the ergonomic cons of the A7. BUT NOW Sony will release an A7SIII with 4K60p, which for sure the Canikon won't do. So I will need this one for video and will be stuck with either having an A7SIII and the Nikon FF or stay completely with Sony. Ideally for me, as Andrew said I would love a 24mp camera with best video features 4K60p and so on from Nikon and one 46mp D850 like mirrorless. Best in class codec and profile, best in class ergonomics... Would be perfect. But A7S sales are very low in comparison to A7r and A7 so for sure Canikon will not do an A7s competitor. Frustrating to see that 1DX II is old today, yet it is the only FF with 4K60p and best FHD120p...

great. If only it had 4K60p...

BTW, I was thinking, if Nikon is copying the A7III with their soon to come mirorless well it should be great because I am sure the ergonomics, menus and so on will be better. And it will have a timelapse intervalometer. Again, what were Sony thinking in removing this feature ?!

Been using the A7 III with the new Tamron 28-75 for a couple of day. Great camera overall. Lots of improvement compared with my older A7RII. Much better than the GH5 for the same price. In fact a totally different league for stills. For video the AF is so unusable on the GH5 and so good on the A7 that it's also a kill for me. The cons are still the shitty menus even though I could set up my own ones. There are still some frustrating shits from Sony. For exemple I set up the dial "1" for 4K and the dial "2" for 120p with specific settings. Great. Now I can only set once and forever what shooting mode (aperture priority, manual...) for those otherwise I have to completely start over. What it means is in "1" and "2" mode that you use with the dial, you cannot choose even in the menus your shooting mode. This is ridiculous. Many frustrating and ridiculous ergonomic stuff like this. Also the camera is way too short. The grip is fine for a kid or small woman hand but not a man, what were they thinking? But much overall better than before. And IQ is great, 120p is great, AF is great, IBIS is fine, S35 mode is fantastic ... Definitely the best camera on the market for 2K and that Tamron 28-75mm is fantastic. 800 bucks and 550g for a 28-75mm f/2.8 is killing it. Combo works well on my Crane Plus. Until the A7SIII is out there is nothing better at that price. EDIT: this might fix the grip too short problem https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1334069-REG/really_right_stuff_ba9_base_plate_base_plate_for_sony.html?ap=y&gclid=CjwKCAjwyrvaBRACEiwAcyuzRCIVpadM8fw7qzuDhV_PDMbeD_m0_IQY1m06fG9E_t2KTAqy-MEt-xoCn-wQAvD_BwE&smp=y

This is a recurrent and common issue in most PC even twice as thick as the macbook pro with the new I9. Intel really sucks, and Apple failed in realizing this i9 does not do well or to properly cool it.

No hesitation for me the FS5 choice. Great slowmo. Prores Raw is sick. Best B and C cam with the incoming a7siii with great AF for gimbal shots.

LOL. @jonpais I think that @webrunner5 has never used a gimbal. Or a camera, I am not sure. Asking why one would even need a gimbal using an A7 because it has IBIS is beyond me . Now I am not saying that you need a gimbal, depends on your work and style, but that's a different question. The thing is IBIS does not replace a gimbal and if it does for you that simply means you do not need stabilized footage while walking/running which is fine.

Just bought a Crane Plus. Holds an A7III easily and weight HALF of the DJI. 2 pounds less ! this is enormous. I would never get the DJI even for free just for the weight. Let me precise that 80% of my camera use is away from home or in the mountain where weight counts a lot. If I were to fly a 1DX for work project then yes the DJI makes sense.

Loved my adventures in Bali. Too many tourists though.

Also worth mentioning, the new MBP are really fast. The high end model as better single core CPU performance than the best IMAC PRO. The overall performance jump both in CPU and GPU vs 2017 models is enormous. The new DDR4 memory is very fast. And the faster SSD are out of this world. In fact PC manufacturer should feel ashamed, as seen in the attached picture.

My prediction: dji mavic 2 and Mavic Pro 2 the one in the image is a Mavic 2 With its silver bands. It has the bigger sensor Mavic Pro 2 caméra attached to it. On the gimbal on the side there is the smaller Mavic 2 camera. They will be interchangeable. Mavic 2 same price a pro 1 and Mavic Pro 2 1300

Wait, who said no 4K60fps in this thread ? Lol. As for CDAF no way. Are you serious!? It’s got to be the A7III kind of AF. It’s actually gonna be the main advantage over the GH5.

Hello, I am getting the 7III soon. Shot with A7RII 2 years ago, cant remember what I used. I plan to set the Custom 1 dial to 4K30p with specific PP and settings, Custom 2 for HD120p with specific settings again, and using the regular priority aperture mode for photos. Therefore I would never be using the proper video mode. Few questions: - Is there an inconvenient with that? - I assume the Custom 1 and 2 on the dials are considered photo mode. Any disadvantage shooting videos in photo mode? (like different AF performance, ...) Am I loosing anything not using the regular video mode? If above is not good what do you recommend? For PP, AF settings and so on I am all set. Thanks
