Awesome video with high production value. Keep it up. Would you make a video of the 600 F4? Like a review and compare it to the 200600? I'm currently using a A1+200-600 but I want to pull the trigger on that 600GM.

@@BrianGJohnsonPhotography Great I'm looking forward to that. Please do a real head to head comparison to show the difference in IQ and DOF in a controlled environment as well as out in the field

can we get a detailed video on a1 vs a9iii ?

Yes it is still a champ but it is now 3 years old. We know that the camera will have a successor but it did not drop in price so far. The same camera for the same price was a lot better deal then it is now. That is the reason why people follow the "rumors" about this equipment. If you are in the market for an A1 but you are not in a hurry, then you will most likely wait until the day it is on preorder and the exact moment that you can preorder the new camera you place the order. Even when you don't own an A1 and you really want to have that camera, then you know that it will drop substantial in price when the new version will be on the market. You might even buy a used camera for considerable less because some of the pro's will buy the new camera. That is how it always works for most high-end equipment. I am not in the market for an A1 but for a successor of the FX-3 and I follow the news for exactly the same reason as some might follow the news for the A1.

great points for sure.

Can't wait to for the a9iii to be release and compared to the a1. It should be quite interesting to see what the new kid on the block brings to the table.

Totally agree this will be the first new, full frame camera from Sony with a brand new sensor. We haven’t seen one of those in a while.

some issues though 24mp. northrups did a sharpness test and its not overly great for details. it also seems to expose darker vs a9ii at same exposure settings so i think while a9iii has some cool shit with 120fps and flash capability how often is someone really going to rattle off 120 because you will blitz your CF card and your pc. be way cool though . next issue is the extra price a9iii is at

What would suggest for wildlife, I’ve been soo stuck on what to decide I can’t afford the a1 but I’m tempted with the a7r5

Almost talked me into the A1, very convincing! It is crazy though that Sony wouldn't at least put a good screen on the A1 (let alone any of their cameras)!

Agreed my friend. I’m curious about that newer screen on the 8705. That’s one of the things I could’ve mentioned. Of course I could’ve mentioned so many things. It would seem that it’s impossible to get a video just right/perfect. Have a great day my friend

I am a beginner and want to start travel and wildlife photography should I get A9i/A7riii/A7iiior save more money to get A7iv. Should I get 70-200gm mk2 + 2x tele, 100-400gm and 200-600g please give me a recommendation?

@BrianGJohnsonPhotography

I would focus on getting a lens with the actual telephoto capabilities you’ll probably want. That would be a lens of either 100 to 400 or the 200 to 600

The A74 would be a great budget friendly camera with 33 megapixels, great auto focus and plenty of capability.

One thing I always tell people is to trust the histogram, not what you see on the screen! Shoot for the best quality data!

@BrianGJohnsonPhotography

8 ай бұрын

Been paying a lot more attention to that histogram my friend. Also playing with exposing to the right. Seems to be a bit more challenging when the sun is out because you’re basically pushing the exposure in one particular direction. But without question histogram for the win!

If someone is just starting out, can you suggest a cheaper one from Sony. Thank you just love the wildlife!

@BrianGJohnsonPhotography

If I was just getting started, I think the A74 would be the way to go. It’s a great hybrid camera, has great auto focus, is 33 megapixels and does well with both photos / video. the cost is much more manageable… at 2500.

What’s your budget ? If you’re going for lens and camera 1500 and under get the a7iii and a Rokinon to match your still. If you’re tying to up your budget and want a body and price isn’t an issue. Get the a7V with a Sony 70-200

any news for a7r6 ? or too soon?

Coyote shots were fantastic

The A1 isn't a problem for me in low light. what are your settings that you are using for your low light video on the A1 because there are plenty of slog 3 low light test showing the A1 beating the a7siii in low light up until iso 12800. I own both and I can tell you the A1 is not bad in low light. Even in photography.

thanks for sharing that, have been testing Slog3 and love the look. Still have not made the jump entirely. I will continue to test and I want to thank you for the nudge.

I can't imagine why this camera wont be a wildlife champ. Can't wait for the price to drop after a9iii release but I wonder if that will happen.

I doubt it for a while at least. I have been using my A1 since its launch and I have been periodically checking on its prices and stock. Still selling very well and I doubt its price will drop until we get closer to the launch of the new A1 mark 2 (or whatever it will be called).

Just use gigapixal to resize those 24mp files.

I have found AI's Gigapixel and Lightroom's enhance (their version of upsizing) feature to be a hit or miss. Mostly a miss if you want high quality images. There is still no substitute for focal length and megapixels.
