SONY A1 VS A7SIII || CINEMATIC REVIEW: From a filmmaker's perspective

Ойын-сауық

The brand new Sony A1 is able to shoot 8k at 24 and 30 fps. But is it worth the upgrade coming from an A7S3?
Get the sony a7siii here: amzn.to/3fRKbKk
I've been using the A7S3 for the last couple of weeks and this camera is a beast. The 4k 10 bit is insane and it has a flip-out screen. Is the A1 worth 2500$ more? well it depends...

    on the A7S3 the stabilization is really good, but you can only use it in 4k 24fps. Not shooting without it now.

    Have you tried night sky landscapes for both? Astro photography? I'm litterally torn between both your cameras and debating the A1 as a solution, but from what I see the low light is really something on the S3... But would like to take landscapes and also some sports photos where I will need to crop here and there.... this is where the 12mp may bother me. But the high mp may ruin my life with noise when using higher iso capturing galaxies and night skies 🙈

    @@augustusmaximus891 Well I considered switching to the A1 but the budget was an issue. Plus, I like to have redundancy in my cameras in case one gets damaged. For the last month, I've been running an experiment. I only shoot with S3 (photo and video) and so far (2 500 photos) I'm very very happy. The rare cases I needed more resolution, I used "Super-resolution" in lightroom and it worked like magic. You just have to be mindful of your composition. There are still occasion where I prioritize the megapixel - A7R (studio work and product photography) but other wise, the S3 is a fantastic hybrid in my opinion.

    @@mensiphotography Thanks for the reply, and agreed budget is an issue... ! If I use the A7S3 to capture a bright bay with details from far away, as long as I frame my shot when taking it, it will be fine I guess. And if i need to crop into that shot, I should just be mindful when taking it and use the appropriate lens in the first place right? I am new to photography but absoarbing alot of info all the time (it's a rabbit hole!). For arguments sake, if I took an astrophotography of the milky way with an A1 or A7R iv, and had noise in the photo, I can correct this in lightroom I guess, to a point. And at the same time, in theory, I might have captured more "small" stars zoomed into the picture? Or The A7Siii would capture more stars because of less noise blocking those stars? Just not being able to zoom into them in post.. I wish I had both to litterally take both shots and compare on a new moon haha. 🌚 Enjoy 😁

    They’re both e-mount so lens compatibility is the same. Portability is also basically the same as they’re the same body for the most part tho the A1 is heavier. I would chose A7SIII for video as it has better low light, and has the same video specs as A1 other than 8k. I think 8k is niche rn but it might be useful in the future so if you want a camera that will last you 10 years and take sharper photos, get the A1. A7SIII is definitely more value for money if you’re just filming video tho
