This is one of the best cameras made. As a still photographer from the long-ago days of film cameras, I feel very comfortable with the R3. That sensor is amazing. The images coming from this scream excellence. I've taken photos I swore would come out bad but with the image stabilization in body and even in the 24-105mm lens, the image came out great. Today, as you say, no other camera can really best this one. I think Sony really make some magic when they made the R3. I still love this camera and use it often. I don't care about video, I care about stills that can be printed and posted on walls or in photo albums. this is something video is not good at. As I say, Photos are forever, videos get lost in a hard drive.

@@bondgabebond4907 Yes I agree completely. I would love the latest tech and gear, but i just see absolutely no reason to upgrade my R3 when I see the image quality from it. After reading what you wrote, I would love to get into large prints with this camera. I only have experience with medium and small sized prints. I only talk about and use video because I am posting on KZitem haha but when I first bought this camera, I had no idea I would eventually get into KZitem. If I knew I would shoot for KZitem, I might have gotten a different camera. But I am glad that I made the choice to go with the R3 even though it slightly lacks in that department. Thanks for watching my video and taking the time to comment! Have a nice day.

Great vid! I was surprised how much I enjoyed the A7R V as a mainly videographer (did a review on the 8k if you wanna check it out). Those extra MPs always come in handy...Subscribed!

I uograded from an A7R and Pentax K-1 to an A7RIII last year, managed to find a new one for £1,600. Bottom line. It has phenomenal image quality but I miss the K-1 for the simple joy of photography.

I have good news for you. Two ways to solve the monitor and finder problem when the monitor is not completely closed and you want to take portrait photos. First you choose a custom button that is comfortable for you (I use the C4) and as a function you assign it to change to finder or change to monitor (it doesn't matter) second, if you want the change to be permanent you go to the monitor function and change it front Auto to manual, if you want a more intelligent variant you leave it in auto. What will happen is that even if the monitor is not perfectly closed or in some open position, when you press the assigned button the image will change to the finder allowing you to take the portrait photo without delay, then when you stop using the finder the auto function returns to have priority and the image will go to the monitor without you doing anything.

I still have an a7r3. I don't think I'll ever get rid of it; it's still a solid backup camera. My only gripe is the autofocus is slowish for fast moving action

I’m on the same boat! Really don’t see the need to upgrade any time soon. Yes i did notice that sometimes it struggles when im using my 35mm 2.8za when there are some moving subjects, but much better than other cameras that i own haha

It really depends on the lens. The 200-600 is better on the Riii compared to the Riv somehow. I have no problem shooting birds in flight. It's no a9 or a1 but it's doable

Compressed RAW will save you a TON of space just FYI, there's no literal difference between the two. Yo ucan consider compressed raw as a half processed, half baked process BUT you still have absolute tons of room to edit ad adjust. I Have the A7R ii and it's great for both modes and I recently started using compressed raws and I'm a dark, blacks almost fully dropped moody type shooter with occasional high key and neither side shoes signs of breaking when I edit. Plus you get like triple the buffer rate. Give it a try! Hybrid shooting.. all cameras have to process files before you can switch modes so don't blame the camera. That's just threading purposes can't blame em. Imagine being in the middle of processing files and your boss pulls your files away and throws a pile of something else, you loose your place lol

Thank you for this information! I saw from other photography youtube that compressed raw is just as good as uncompressed raw, but it was hard for me to take a leap of faith because I’ve been shooting uncompressed for 3 years and i like to shoot in darker situations. But hearing from your user experience convinced me. Wow, faster buffer rate from compressed raw is something that never crossed my mind! This absolutely convinced me to use compressed raw. Thank you. Yes i thought that switching modes while processing was the norm for all cameras haha but now with the faster buffer rate, it would matter less. Thank you so much for the comment and watching my video! Hope you have a great start to your week!

@@AlexKimPhoto I was the same exact way for as long as I've been shooting raws, at first i needed the buffer rate for sports so i switched to jpegs but i didn't like what I was stuck with when i wanted to edit. I switched to compressed raws and i was like well shoot no difference, double to triple the buffer rate. i can burst raws all day long now LOL. Haven't switched back since UNLESS I'm doing a high paid shoot where it's more still semi moving not so much bursting but otherwise, compressed raws for me! Glad i can help man yea give it a real street photography try when you get out again... nothing but compressed. Do a buffer test too right now, it will burst to no end LOL. On my A7R ii I get like 22 bursts and I think it's every lasting on yours which is a body I'm soon going to get

I will be shooting videos as well so i will get some real life comparisons when switching from photo to video. I am more excited to be on my photoshoot now thanks to you!

I got mine in October 2023 new for around 1600€. It's excellent. The only things I miss are S-Cinetone and Active Steadyshot for video :D What you said about video is absolutely true. It is by no means bad at video. It depends on what you expect. Of course, stabilization is always a prominent aspect in video and full frame sensors. Shooting stationary video is not a problem at all, image looks great. As far as you move while recording, you have to consider some aspects to be able to get it stable in post.

@@fotosvond_ Yes, I noticed that I really have to be steady while shooting videos which is a bit of a bummer. The steady shot does not help much in shooting videos. But for what I use, I am fine with mostly shooting stationary videos. Thank you so much for watching and congrats on your new camera :)
