As I’ve not even looked at Sony’s until a week ago, note some say the S model should be good. What’s that likely to have?
Yeah but that's where eye AF shines, although that is improved on the X-T3 and I don't know I have seen him use it.
He just posted the video. At first glance in the start of the video the Fuji does look like to have better colours, his usual look and the Sony seems too yellow but later on when the sun has set the Sony looks to be more neutral.
One thing to note is that he shoots jpegs on these so any DR advantages of the Sony is gone and also he never used eye-af once in either of them, so the whole exercise is really about colour balance and bokeh.
At first glance I much prefer the X-T3 and in a way, it’s all about making it look good as opposed to looking neutral. However if you process a lot, I think the Sony is the better choice.
Also, the colours of the 35/1.4 he has on the Sony seem to have warmer colours than the 85/1.8. Different lighting conditions sure but the difference was quite evident. When it was dark he stopped posting the Fuji for some reason too so can’t compare.
I ordered an AR3 from Panamoz late Tuesday evening been tracking it and it has cleared customs, due for delivery 2pm Monday, when I saw it had dropped to a straight £2000 I could no longer resist.
I’m finding the e-infinity delivery a tad bizarre. 2 days from order to say it’s been processed, then another 2 days to say dispatched. 24-48 hours for tracking to work? If it had have been Panamoz, it would have been here by now. Maybe it was cheap because someone’s walking it to my door?
gosh, £2k and 3 years warranty... need more GAS resistance!

So hes comparing colour balance of built in JPG processing which can be tweaked extensively in camera.
£2500 is just a great price for what it offers! The A7R3 probably also useful for sports as still 18mp in crop but the A9 focussing is meant to be something else.
Anyone shooting godox on the xpro, when you dial in compensation for TTL does the value show on the light ? When I dial it in it doesn't show on the screen of the AD200s or 600pro
I dismissed the A7R3 as the focus points don't cover the entire screen, and I couldn't justify 2 A9 bodies.

Why is that such an issue?I dismissed the A7R3 as the focus points don't cover the entire screen, and I couldn't justify 2 A9 bodies.
Agreed. I really do think that there's something about the Canon colours that Sony haven't/don't want to get near. The main lights last night were blue white and the cathedral lights were orangey, so a bit difficult. More critical for the official tog as he has to make sure that the outfit colours are spot on... I just please myself!
Cheers. Appreciate you taking the time. Maybe just a tad too warm for me, but somewhere in between would be perfect.
Strange question but with electric shutter on the A9 can you still have a shutter sound?
Also what are the different FPS speeds? Is it like 5/10/20?
I use the wider focal points a lot, not having to focus and recompose shots was one of the reasons for switching from the D750Why is that such an issue?

AUTO/Electronic Shutter: Continuous shooting: Hi: max. 20 fps, Mid: max. 10fps, Lo: max. 5 fps
Mechanical Shutter: Continuous shooting: Hi: max. 5 fps, Mid: max. 5fps, Lo: max. 2.5 fps
You can enable / disable the fake shutter sound for the electronic shutter
No problem, cool to your own taste. I did drop the black slider a bit too.
Anyone have an issue with your LR catalog after the last update? I’ve had to open a backup after the launch failed to find my master?
Nice. How many shots did you take?A9s got a proper workout with some hockey today, a tournament - must have shot 13/14 games today in total. First time shooting sport

Playing silly buggers in the garden with the Canon EF500mm f4 MKII and 2x tc with Sigma MC11 plus crop mode on the A7III,poor old little sony looks lost on the end
I watched that earlier, can I just say I am an indecisive idiot. I fully decide on the A7 III and everytime I see or read something about how amazing the A9 is I get the wobbles.
Interesting
I don't understand why with all the kit they have access to they insist on using the wrong setup as their main video camera, do they like the blurry look?
I don't understand why they are so popular. I'm no photographer (just a happy snapper really) but their lack of ability at times even shocks me and makes me wonder why people would listen to what they have to say...
I’ve not had to do that on my R2 or R3 and I’ve shot as close to the edge that I’d ever need to but if that’s what you need it’s a good reason.I use the wider focal points a lot, not having to focus and recompose shots was one of the reasons for switching from the D750
Barbie and Ken of photography basicallyThey're the 'Daytime TV' or 'Easy Listening' version of Youtube photography channels, I find them easy enough to watch, though not a favourite. I can see americans loving them.
