I white... Continue Reading →

Sony a7 III: The Perfect B-Cam?
I shared my latest a7 III video and some screengrabs with a respected filmmaker who shoots with the GH5s and asked for his opinion about the tonal transitions, color, noise, detail and highlight roll off. I did not ask him to evaluate nonsense like ISO 100,000, or any other such pointless rubbish cluttering the Internet.... Continue Reading →
Sony a7 III: Extraordinary Shadow Detail
Sony's a7 III has been widely praised for its good low light performance, but it's seldom acknowledged how exceptionally clean the shadows are even at low ISOs. It might also be assumed that because we're shooting 8-bit rec.709 video, that tonal transitions must necessarily suffer - but in actual practice, Sony's are in fact superior... Continue Reading →

Further Thoughts on Full Frame After Shooting m4/3 for Five Years
https://youtu.be/eN64GtCmotk Buttons. Two of the most annoying on the a7 III are the menu button, which is inexplicably located to the left of the EVF; and the lens release button, which is tiny and very difficult even with rather slender fingers to reach with the handgrip scrunched so close to the lens mount. Some buttons might advantageously be... Continue Reading →

Thoughts on the Sony a7 III from a GH5 User
Some Panasonic diehards claim the only drawbacks of the GH5 are poor autofocus and weak low light ability. Yet few things in photography are as important as the ability to gather light and focus! Reliable AF-C is huge, and the a7 III has it in spades. Particularly useful for shooting at wide apertures and gimbal work. And... Continue Reading →
Sony a7 III: Lousy Skin Tones?
Sony a7 III, Sony 85mm f/1.8, ISO 400, Mixed daylight/fluorescent, no color correction in post People used to say, yeah, but what about Caucasian skin tones?
