Kisaha Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 So, If you are not a sports photographer, is the A7iii, for a portion of the money, a better option than the top-flagship-high end?! Except if it doesn't have something simple, like no ports except a micro USB2.0, just for the shake of market fragmentation and what not. Interesting though, and the price seems right.

Deadcode Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 My hopes and dreams: Everything what A7R3 already has, but with 24MP sensor, with sub 2k price tag In summary: A7R3 like 4k in both FF and crop mode, good iso range till 12800 in video, nice AF performance with adapted lens in video mode, better IBIS, new battery type, and bright screen with no dimming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not, because it won't have the high frame rates for stills and, likely, not an electronic shutter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The price is right though. A7i & ii (and the whole series to a point) had a lot of basic issues and were rough around the edges. Better grip, battery, 4K, touch screen, new sensor and some improvements, can bring a lot of people to the full frame field. No real facts though. We will see. The market will be very strong, very soon (with the latest announcements, a couple from last year, and the next ones!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is like people who film video at greater than 6K resolution. We're just talking total overkill here, and there are downsides when it comes to processing times and storage space.

Mark Romero 2 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 If it will shoot longer without overheating in 4K, and if it will have a better screen / less dimming than the a6300 / a6500, and a bit better DR than the APS-C models, and better rolloff, and same accuity in 4K, and good 1080p, then I might move from Sony APS-C to full frame. If it is at $1,900 that puts in about same category as new Fuji X-H1. So please, Sony, 14 stops of DR without using S Log and good image quality in 4K and 1080p. Is that too much too ask?

Inazuma Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 14 stops without SLOG? Is that even possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not :p Although Mattias guestimated that the D750 had 13 stops of DR in Flat profile. He compared it to his black magic cameras shooting in raw and prores, if I remember correctly. To my untrained eye, Nikon seems to have some kind of magic going on with their Analog / Digital converters that sony still doesn't seem to have mastered IronFilm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Collins Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Seems very likely the A7iii will be launched today - 4pm Las Vegas time, midnight London. Rumored specs and price sound pretty good.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff CB Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 If it has S-log and dual card slots, I'll probably sell my A7R II for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real world reviews of a9 show a 70-90% hit rate, so those 20pfs don't really get fully utilized. The same AF module could give you a better hit rate at the "meager" 7fps.

zerocool22 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Good I want to buy a used A7R II and hopefully this will drive the prices down. Mark Romero 2 and Gordon Zernich 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkabi Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 May be its the a7siii??? Or a double announcement? Given that NAB 2018 is only 1.5 months away? Just saying... it makes more sense than just a7iii? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Kotlos Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 I would say an even better one without the lock for the PSMA dial Hopefully with a new sensor. jonpais 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
