soda changes streaming forever ($11k camera)

pretty sure it was before the A7 III, the A7 III never overheats but I remember some earlier Sonys did have overheating issues, i think it was the more pocket sized ones that people used for vlogging

Asked Director for LUT, Offered to sell me his LUT package

My guess is it’s the Sony A7III which shoots 4K XAVC and wraps it up in h264 mp4s. It’s 10bit and uses slog3, so absolutely professional. But when I use it I do like to transcode to a better editing codec, such as DNxHR HQX.

24 fps as a “sacred cow” isn’t 30 fps more practical for social media?

Man, what a time to be alive. Any time this conversation comes up, I'm instantly brought back to my childhood bedroom circa 2002. I spent countless hours searching the internet, doing whatever I could to find out how to make MiniDV footage that came from my Sony VX-2000 look like it was shot on film

Becoming a wedding photographer in 2026?

Just so you know, the jump from "playing around with photography" to "wedding photographer" is a multi-year journey, and most people will quit or not develop the appropriate skillset to become a professional. Sony A7 III is far better than a A6400 for wedding photography. The best one lens solution

Am I ready to buy to buy a real camera now ?

bro, where do you live? Those nature pictures are beautiful. Regarding camera, if you're buying second hand, then A7III + 35mm 1.8 is great start

Do I have the eye to go pro?

In all honesty, these are the kind of average iPhone photos anyone could get from a good seat at a big arena-size event. They don't tell us anything, and they look good because the lighting/pyro is good. Everyone's seen these shots a million times. THAT SAID (sorry for being harsh), get that Sony a7

Is this a good deal and good starter camera?

Honestly for $700 I would skip that and get something mirrorless. Camera gear is something I think is wise to buy used, because when it's time to upgrade, you don't lose your ass. For your purposes, especially the low light activities, I'd say grab a Sony A7 ii ($500-700ish) or A7 iii body ($700-$10

I have the money for a full frame camera for the first time since having kids. I start looking at the Z5ii and R10 and then the lenses and realize I don't want to spend almost $4,000 on a camera and lens. Does anyone also feel fine with M43 but get scared away with prices on FF?

I had a FF Sony kit and an M43 kit for the longest time. A7III for pretty much everything that wasn’t wildlife, EM1 MK3 for wildlife. On a whim, I picked up a cheap used Lumix 14-140mm mkII off of facebook and took just the Olympus with me for a trip. When I came home and went through my pics, I dum

Is one mirrorless body safe?

In 20 years and 1100+ weddings, I needed my backup one time. - when my Sony A7iii shutter went out at 579,000 count during the entrance of a bride at the ceremony. Was it worth carrying a second for 20 years just to have this happen to me one time? HELL YES.

iPhone 15 Pro Max vs Sony A7III

Posted some travel photos recently here from Japan and South Korea and got some comments doubting they were shot on iPhone 😅 So thought it would be interesting to do a quick comparison. Tried to find the most similar shots I had across both my iPhone 15 Pro Max and Sony A7III with matching editing.
