Mako Sports Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Really hoping the A7siii has the same or similar video af system to the A6400/A9 Dpaf got bodied in this test ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolf33d Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 When the A6400 was released and first AF videos showed its performance, I said it was definitely equal or better than DPAF. Some people here laughed. This direct comparison might make them think a little more. A7S3 will match or beat the A6400 for sure as there is no way on earth the future Flagship performs less than the old entry level. The latest Canon bodies are crap, and Sony is really trying to work on their issues/critics at each body release (V3 of A7 line saw massive body improvements, battery life and so on). On top they exceed competition in performance even where they were behind like AF. Mako Sports and webrunner5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebrothersthre3 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 No reason why it wouldn't. The A7S3 will be hard not to buy if it delivers 10 bit and 4k 60p. It'll probably be in the Panasonic S1 range price wise. I am hoping it doesn't have ugly NR issues like the A73. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Members Mattias Burling Posted March 22, 2019 Super Members Share Posted March 22, 2019 It would need a lot more than usable AF for me to choose it over CaNikon for video. But as always I am rooting for it to get there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what it has to do with the post you quoted but that is good news for the a6400 users indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both cameras may be at f4 but the larger sensor on the full frame camera means there is more OOF blur. So it isn't a direct comparison. That doesn't mean the Sony AF isn't amazing, and the ability to pick up faces when they are a long way back and moving fast is pretty impressive.

Well its not a far stretch to imagine the A7SIII will be as good or better than the A6400. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A6400 autofocus, 4K 60, and Venice color is what i'm hoping for. I don't even care if its 10 bit internal. thebrothersthre3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even care if its 10 bit internal. I think 10 bit will really help to make log more usable. I really think they'll put it in the A7S2, I can't see them letting panasonic one up them. 11 hours ago, Mattias Burling said: I understood that part You seemed to indicate the A7S3 will hypothetically not have usable auto focus. What I was trying to say is the A6400 auto focus is already more than usable and its logical to conclude it will be in the A7S3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was not my intention. Sorry if that's how it came of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
