Some new A7SIII specs. Looking good more so for video folk....
- 600mbps bitrate
- Base ISO 160 for S-LOG3
- Max ISO 409600 (video)
- 16bit RAW output
- Sony claims 15 stops dynamic range
That bitrate, well done Sony!

i'll believe it when i see itThat bitrate, well done Sony!
Or perhaps they realised they needed to put in a lot of overtime to match / beat Sony in the months ahead.I can picture a year ago when Sony announced/showcase animal eye-AF and the world was going Wowwwwww, the Canon engineers must have had a little giggle amongst themselves.
So it has great Eye AF.
But surely one of the main points of the Sony is black out free silent fast shooting - ideal for birds and being ultra stealthy - I may have read it wrong, but these new Canons can’t do that?
@woof woof , might as well call this the Canon thread now as seems some fanboys have arrived.
Didn't think it could, otherwise they'd have marketed the hell out of it like Sony did.I think it can, PM video showed the white box just blinking when it was shooting.
Means nothing to me, I don't understand the video lingoThat bitrate, well done Sony!
I agree, there's no mention of it in the marketing or specs so I can only assume it doesn't have it. Certainly a nicer looking camera than Sony thoughDidn't think it could, otherwise they'd have marketed the hell out of it like Sony did.
Not for me, 12mp rules it out straight away.If the new A7s does have the rumoured fully adjustable screen would that be something to temp still shooters?

not going to lie, super tempted by R5. even though I cannot afford it for most part lol.
If tamron (and sigma) jump in with 3rd party support I'd be all over it! I can already replace my samyang 85mm/1.4 like for like.

Looks nice and whilst I’m drawn like a magpie to shiny new things I have no real interest in the R5 as 45mp isn’t enough for my extreme cropping to save buying a heavy wildlife lens, theres no equivalent to the 16-35mm f4, 24-70mm f4, 100-400mm and no 50 or 85mm f1.8 primes. And then the 70-200mm is £2.6k. Apart from that it’s the perfect system for menot going to lie, super tempted by R5. even though I cannot afford it for most part lol.

I'm sure you're always welcome here Twist, especially as you'll be a bit lonely restricting yourself to the Canon thread as there hasn't been a post in there for how long?
If there isn't much to talk about in Canon FF land maybe when the A7s comes out some Sony users could head on over to share some specs and comparisons and leave this thread to rest a bit so we don't get any overheating issues
I like it here, all my friends are here and I get to wind you up. Na, don't think anybody wants a camera with a megapixel count from the stone age
I crop a lotI was thinking about this recently. I was at the time happy with my 8mp Canon 20D and later also with the 12mp 5D. So, I suppose I could get used to 12mp again if something about a 12mp camera really grabbed me. I can't think what cold grab me, a price of £500 maybe?
better than 12mpLike 21mp
Like 21mp

Twist, I've known you how long now? I've seen how both helpful and disruptive you've been in turn at times in this thread and I've seen the fun and the devilment in you and my days of being wound up by you are well and truly over long time back so don't even give that a thought. You'll only be wasting your own time and making yourself look a little silly if you try
I crop a lot
Weve come a long way haven't we woofy. You're no fun in your old age. I'll always have the sweet sweet memories.
I'm just more tolerant of those who are basically strangers to me who don't seem to be able to play nice on the internet now. Possibly because I don't live on line, partly because I've grown up and grown bored of internet spats and being married now helps a lot too
I had a 20D for 10 years and it was awesome but the jump I made to the 6D was even more awesomeI was thinking about this recently.

So basically what you are saying is that your missus doesn’t allow you any more?
24000+ posts says otherwise!Possibly because I don't live on line.

Go on. Throw him a bone.

Why would they be gritty?Thinking about the SIII, I could probably live with 12MP for everything except landscape/architectural work, though I'd probably find the slightly gritty images a little irritating. But it's very much a camera for a specific set of uses, so comparing it with an all-rounder may be a little perverse.
Having a regular love life can put perspective on so many trivial things.

12mp is more than useable, even for large-ish printing. I've got a 55" 4K TV and photos look great on there, and 4K TVs are 'only' 8.5mp. IMO high MP cameras are only really useful if you crop heavily, or want to print a billboard size picture at 300dpi for some reason (bit of an exaggeration but you get my drift )It's funny because I have it in my head that 12MP is an unusably low resolution nowadays but when I've had the A7S2 out on its own and used it for photo and video I've been surprised at how good the 12mp output has been. When looking through older photos there's times I've been looking at what I thought was a 24MP shot from a D750 but was actually from the 12MP D700. That said I wasn't fussed about the 12MP on the A7S2 as I chose it for video and that's what it mostly does while being accompanied by another camera for stills but it's still more than capable of great stills.
