Looks like Armando Ferriera is collaborating with director Lukas Colombo and Kondor Blue on another epic real world production test, this time with the a7s III!
a7s III Vastly More Popular Than R5
Some alarmists are saying Sony must immediately respond to Canon’s salvo by launching their own 8K mirrorless, but shouldn’t the real question be: should Canon develop an a7s III-like camera with insane ISO 16000 see-in-the-dark ability, 4K 120p no line-skipping, 13 stops of dynamic range, no two-hour cool-off times after shooting for twenty minutes, a… Read More
Sony Should Not Go 8K – At Least, Not Yet!
There’s a widespread belief that Canon’s suddenly leapfrogged Sony by a couple of generations just because they offer what they’re calling 8K video in their R5; that squeezing more and smaller pixels onto the surface of the sensor magically makes it better: and some think Sony has to respond with their own 8K mirrorless camera.… Read More
Why I’m Buying the a7s III
Sony a7s III
I worried that without an optical low pass filter, the 12 megapixel sensor of the a7s III would suffer from artifacts that are all but impossible to remove in post.

More a7s III Rumored Specs
A few of the latest a7s III specs rumors from SAR, this time from several unproven sources.

Firmware is not available, apparently Atomos is working on it to support a7sIII’s hdmi signal.… Read More
R6 Dynamic Range?
The rumored price of the a7s III is $3,500.00. Throw in an Atomos, cables, batteries, SSD, cage and magic arm and we’re looking at $4,500.00. Let’s be straight: we weren’t demanding full HDMI out, XLR inputs, false color or vectorscopes – all that most hybrid video shooters were asking for was a darn flippy screen,… Read More
Leeming LUT Athena – Sony A Series
Here’s a screen grab from the model shoot yesterday, shot with the Sony a7 III, FE 85mm f/1.8, Hoya ND8, S-log2, ISO 800, f/6.3 and graded with Leeming LUT Pro. Very excited about the new LUTs, and S-log2 is now my very favorite picture profile; but the banding in the sky just kills it for… Read More
RAW Remarks
If the 8K RAW sample footage I downloaded and imported into Resolve last night was indeed from the R5, it is a dream to work with. Just a few points though about the RAW craze, ProRes RAW, Sony and what exactly we are looking for in a hybrid camera: 1. Most people cannot grade RAW.… Read More
