Sony A7III First Impressions

Spent an hour in the snow shooting various picture profiles, frame rates and resolutions to see how this new camera handles things. I'm no fan of these cameras, hate the menus, hate electronic viewfinder, hate the form, but my first impression of this little camera is better than expected. Way better.

I'll post some sensible tests later next week, in the meantime, here are some random shots while out walking the dog. All shot hand held.

I like how you left the audio in everything (even slowed down)...cool vibe. And thanks for the time.

Looking forward to some 4K.
 
https://login.yahoo.com/account/log...rumb=sFvIkJ/UvVP&.done=https://www.yahoo.com/ Please try to shoot some very very low available light with higher ISO's. NYC Times Square at night is not low light. Same with Vegas and Tokyo with all the streets lit up. A hotel room at night with one low watt room light on doing an interview to see a persons face would be great. I do docs with run n gun so a small package with available light is needed. I wonder if I should get the a7iii if it can handle low light cleanly. The a7siii is a maybe for next October... too far away for me. A7sii is too old technology.

Thanks for the test.

1080p looks nice, I don't see the softness of the a6500. Given how great DR is in RAW stills mode (big improvement over previous a7 family at high ISO) I'd like to see a DR test in video mode (over&underexposure test). What other cameras do you have, so you can compare to?
