Geoff CB Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Pretty much everything I need in a small package. Really has everything I could want. Unlimited 4K 10-bit Log recording. Also really appreciated them showing the rolling shutter. Just holding my breath for the cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trek of Joy Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 The official photos don't have the Sony logo on the LCD - hopefully that's a goofy pre-production thing so you don't have to look at it upside down all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep with a minimal 1.1 crop that is very acceptable. Limit is 20min so not that better than R5 but probably quality is better here. Also seems possible to record in 4:2:0 10bit that is good for HW acceleration for editing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the issue for me, overall thermal management. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the issue for me, overall thermal management. The limit is there for thermal so it could be the same c..p as R5 or much better but the limit is thermal driven. I would never take in one shoot 15 or 20 min of 120 but many short ones yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Django Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 First R5 vs A7S3 comparison.. As far as overheat, the R5 actually BEATS the A7S3 in exterior Florida heat test in 4K60p. A7S3 shut down in 23mn! Indoors however, A7S3 had a clear lead it seems. Overall A7S3 seems like the more flexible video tool in all areas, but overheating remains a reality and this real world test seems to show worst performance on the Sony in hot weather. mechanicalEYE 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolf33d Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Tony Northrup latest videos shows direct comparison of footage between R6 and A7S in 4K60p. The R6 is cleaner and sharper, which is mind blowing at $1000 less. Also a much better photo tool at 20mpx vs 12mpx. tellure 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Video Hummus Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Potato Jet did a test with 4K All-I 200Mbps it recorded for 40 mins straight in a ambient temp room. He then put it in a 104 degree mini oven and it recorded for another 13 mins straight after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ND64 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 You can say that orange Sony rumors site is more hurting Sony sales than increasing. Spreading false hype makes Sony looks over promising and under delivering, which is not true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The A7S blows the R5 in low light (expected) The R5 beating the A7S in rolling shutter? I did not expect that. That IBIS comparison though... Sony is years behind on that. And the R5 beating the Sony in overheating outside? Sounds almost weird..! zerocool22 and gt3rs 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
