Sony A7S III – A specialist’s video recording tool ; Price in India

The camera manufacturing industry is witnessing huge changes. It’s Sony’s turn after Canon’s EOS R5 and R6 cameras. The company has introduced the third generation camera in its highly sensitive camera series, the A7S series. While Canon’s new models are trying to become all – rounders, Sony’s A7S III is trying to impress with its professional video recording. The fact that the sensor has only 12 MP resolution may keep still shooters away from this body. But if resolution is not an issue, the new camera will capture outdoor images in dim light.

Some features :

Today, the 9.44 megadot OLED Finder is as bright as any other camera. It also has a 0.90X magnification. Those who have used camera bodies like the Sony A9 and Sony A7R4 will be familiar with its controls. The biggest allegation about Sony’s cameras that has been around for years is their menu system. That too has been redesigned for the new camera. The tilted LCD screen has some limitations but will appeal to video shooters. The new battery has a 500 shot rating. This camera shoots at 10 frames per second and also captures images in high format. The processor is named Beyonc‌ XR.

Up to 1,000 uncompressed raw photos can be shot at once. Auto White makes the balance even better. The new XLRR adapter brings a more professional touch to audio recording. There is also a stereo microphone. The natural ISO range is 80-102400. It can be boosted to 40- 409,800. The minimum ISO of the video will be 80. It is the first alpha camera to feature a USB power delivery system. The lack of features like built-in flash gives a clear indication that this is a camera that professionals should have on hand.

4K video can record up to 119.88 frames per second. Sony has been able to drastically reduce the impact of the rolling shutter, the greatest curse of video recording on DSSLR and mirrorless cameras. Active mode has been introduced to make hand-held video shooting easier. Full size HDMI port provided. It can be copied to 4K / 59.94p 16-bit raw video external recorder. Various formats allow video recording without compromising quality. There is a dual card slot. CFX Express will adopt a new format, SD cards. Many optional accessories will also be accepted.

Some things to keep in mind :

Today there are many cameras to choose from. From the Canon R5 camera that pretends to do anything, to the Sony A7S3 and Panasonic S1H that focus on video recording, many cameras are asking for the attention of professionals and camera lovers alike. Canon’s R5 model is a camera with a very unique position. However, it is almost impossible to shoot video continuously. Currently the R5 can record the best video, including 8K, but it can’t shoot much longer. It heats up quickly and stops shooting. Those who want to shoot continuously with the R5 are advised to buy two or more cameras. This is for use when one is left to cool. The Sony A7S3 does not have 8K recording capability. But it can record longer than Canon. But it can only record 12 MP stills. The question also arises as to whether it would cost $ 3,500 to record 12MP still.

However, if video recording is the primary goal, then the Sony A7S 3 is one of the cameras available in the market today. One advantage that Sony offers is that it can record longer than the Canon R5 and R6 cameras. However, there are those who say that the Sony A7S3 is just a start and is just a prelude to other things the company is going to bring. Anyway, the video captured by this camera in the dim light has already caught the attention of the fans. This is the camera of a specialist.

Here is the video released by Sony with the new camera:
