    So you shot your comparison with the A7iii's godawful 120p at 1080 which is soft, and used that as the benchmark against the A7siii's super sharp 4k 120p? Well that was completely pointless lol You should change the title to 'A7iii vs A7siii at 120p'. The difference at 24p is disappointingly minimal.

    Totally agree. I did a double take when I saw the A7iii footage (I own one myself) and thought no way is that the footage in 4k. It's very misleading. Using a handheld rig is enough to get decent stabilisation with the A7iii in 4K 24p if you know what you are doing.

A friend of mine was even surprised to hear that I shot it handheld. So the IBIS is good in the A7III. The A7SIII is not so much better tbh. The only advantage it has is 10 bit color instead of 8 bit.

    Thank you! I’m looking to upgrade to the a7siii from the a7iii. Just a quick one though could I ask what settings you’re using to get such clean footage with the a7iii for the inside shots? I have a similar setup but my footage comes out super grainy when I try and grade - I just assumed this is due to the lower 8 bit depth but wondered if you had any tips to share on this? Thanks!!

    Great review of the A7SII, Ted. I just recommend you to use even a cheap camera like the A7C for your stills. You seem pretty knowledgeable and I need your help haha. On my channel, I film high quality videos of places around the world -- mostly using the Sony A7SIII. I enjoy taking advantage of the HDR feature KZread has by embedding HDR metadata in the codec during the export. However, I am still having trouble fully understanding the details of this feature. 1) Apparently HDR videos on KZread are defined to show a higher contrast with more colors than the standard digital video. Is this another way of saying that the video will be showing 10 bit color instead of the standard 8 bit? 2) The movie settings of my A7SIII are always set to 200M 4:2:2 10 bit. If I am correct on #1, does this mean that by default I will always be able to take advantage of KZread's HDR feature as long as I have my movie settings set to 4:2:2 10 bit and my final export file has HDR metadata in the codec? 3) Do Picture Profiles affect whether the HDR 10 bit feature can be used or not? For example, a lot of my videos were shot in PP Off which uses the default color mode (Rec.709) of the File Format selected on the camera. I am hoping this still retains 10 bit color. Some people are telling me only certain Picture Profiles such as HLG3 (PP10) which uses the BT.2020 color mode are only capable of producing true HDR 10 bit video? 4) The details mentioned above lead to my final general question: Can footage taken on the A7SIII in UHD, 200M 4:2:2 10 bit and PP Off take advantage of the HDR feature on KZread? I am worried that even though the KZread quality dropdown has HDR, it is not actually showing true HDR 10 bit. I would greatly appreciate if you can give me advice on this as I have exhausted my research at this point.

    Agreed, A7iii wins the photo comparison. A7iii is clearer and more crisp. For video A7siii wins mainly because of the 4k 120fps, I bet if the A7iii had 4k in 120fps, it would blow the siii
