I don't believe CIPA do any testing, they just have a standard that the manufacturers test to. Well, standards, also stuff like Battery Life. Also previous E-mount cameras haven't been great for real-World IBIS performance, but that may not apply to new models. If Sony 4K video is jerky, lower the shutter speed.
If it stutters, you may need a faster processor, or use proxy files for editing. Right, but now that the A1 came out it was time to get the review out finally. I have a feeling the Not So Good for landscape photography conclusion was written with a wry smile. Can use an emoji. Everything you'll see written about the camera will bring attention to the fact that it's for video - and particularly with a focus on low light performance.
Within its target market, it's selling as great as expected. With that said, I've been really surprised by the number of people defending this as a photo camera. All of a sudden, 12mp is fine for a lot of people I mean, if the A7S III can be the ultimate hybrid for someone, that's great.
I've just sold 30 photos taken with my A7s mk1 for a print magazine A lot of them are in my gallery. On the upside: the batch processing is blazing fast and low light post is still ahead of my current A7 III. It's capable photo camera with unique features, but it's of course more demanding, especially if you're cropping a lot. Jeez, people still arguing about this boring video thing. Didn't strike me as being interesting enough to warrant a discussion, but I guess I've let myself in for it now Half the comments are all the trolls arguing back when it was first announced about how the R5 is such a better camera I think most of the posts are similar to Mateus1 "How much would it be for Sony to make it as it is but with 24mp?
With only 12mp Sony lost thousands new buyers I think. So much for big pixels giving us better noise. It is good, but check the studio scenes and compare to most 24MP cameras.
Share your thoughts. A lot here don't seem capable of neutrality, or of admitting when their perceived "enemy" brand has achieved something that their own brand hasn't yet. And as you imply, many seem quite incapable of realising that various models are targetted at people other than themselves. I'm surprised that a camera with these specs could sell well. Now I know that I truly don't understand the market, much less Sony's need to have so many models being produced and still for sale.
Totally baffling IMO. It will, the A7IV is still yet to be announced. They certainly didn't hold back with the A7III, for its time it was extremely competitive in its price class. If you notice Sony has models going back to the A7 and even A for sale. This is my all around camera, most focused on video, photography is secondary. It performs very well.
People don't buy cameras based on specs they buy them for use-cases. This one works well for many use-cases for video. This lets you compare its resolution capture and its low-light performance.

View Comments Comments All Napat Can use active stabilization with lens stabilization? Mateus1 5. Magnar W This camera is highly videocentric, and info about this is not hidden away. Why should a camera be judged for what it is not? Magnar W Sure, this is a discussion forum. FujifilmXT3 Sony has so many models you can't keep track of them. Says a verified Sony hater. EthanP99 Fuji is damn confusing. Everyone else has a number scheme, Fuji? DarnGoodPhotos "Interesting someone has come up with a list of Fuji cameras exactly describing their role.
A7S low light sensitive and now primarily video focused A7 - Medium resolution general purpose A7R - High res A9 - Medium resolution, general purpose sports was flagship sports until the A1 was released A1 - Flagship high-res pro sports, the best of everything With APSC A6, higher numbers are generally newer, faster, and better than than lower numbers.
It's totally irrational. Which review were you reading? Richard Butler Video taken from a 6K region will be more detailed than footage taken from a 4. Julian those review conclusions are extremely video centric, and I know it states that - but just saying. Richard Butler It's an extremely video-centric camera. Julian Cameras that are extremely stills oriented tend to get marked down for not being strong in video, but being totally video oriented is apparently fine, and note I also think it is different horses for different courses and all that , but then this should also be reflected when a camera excels in stills and not video just to clarify why I picked up on this.
Richard Butler We're looking into a way of conveying this. Otis13 When we compare video quality in imaging, we use PSNR in a series of frames but even a compressed still is very useful in intraframe formats. Otis13 Many cameras of this class are perfectly capable of shooting feature films, art projects and music videos, and more practical that any cinematography solution of the past.
Otis13 Sony have power zoom lenses for E-mount, but this is again a videography feature. UncoyDP "Mirrorless or DSLR style body is always a compromise" Yes but being able to put a full frame camera and lens on a high quality lightweight electronic gimble at less than 1.
Rolleix Apple iPhone are you listening? I didn't understand a word of it. BrentSchumer Not so good for: Landscape photography Oh no! Avery Robins Going by the studio test scenes this camera is average or below average compared to the lower resolution FF camera. Scrollop This camera is not for you. It's not a photographer's camera, obviosuly, and you are judging it through a photographer's lens But, you know that.
Hasa Scrollop Magnar W Lovely camera for what it is meant for. David Ramos There are plenty of other camera brands that are also available with even better competitive pricing.
David Ramos It's about the A7Siii Magnar W David Ramos: "about fan boys" David Ramos Just enjoy the camera you bought and stop comparing it. You were the first to do it, so don't reproach others for Ur "mistakes". It does not exist. Even if you wanted you can not. It is a fact. Anulu In A1 only the low resolution lcd and the no small RAW option can be objectivly critized, Subjectivly more, but subjective opinions doesn't matter much. Thematic The Sony A1 supports lossless compressed raw. SafariBob No raw video is a downside of the A1.

Newbie4Life Serious question: Can this camera take a picture full res or otherwise while taking a video or do do I need one for video and one for stills? DarnGoodPhotos It's not "supposedly video centric", it is video centric. Newbie4Life DGP sony disaggrees saying it's good for both but is what you are saying a yes or a no to my question?

More time needed to reach 24k Gold. Magnar W Such posts are also noise Francis Sawyer Yet you've managed to specify none of them. Did you watch it? Or just your bashing around? GenaricName There are several benefits for a low res sensor, particularly with video. DarnGoodPhotos Mach, this is a video camera.
Francis Sawyer The rolling shutter advantage is huge. Wout de Zeeuw larrytusaz what good would that do anybody? Wout de Zeeuw larrytusaz crammed down your throat how exactly?
You don't have to use that feature. GenaricName larrytusaz the a7r4 and A1 are just about as good stills cameras as Sony is capable of making.
Wout de Zeeuw That's a bogus analogy. Wout de Zeeuw You can expect whatever you like, but if the plumber wants to be a decent electricien as well, who are you to tell him he's not supposed to do that? PC-dot-Com 12mp was a good idea until people looked at the raw stills and raw video. Video-vs-photo And why it could be bad idea? And what exactly is the problem with 14 bit RAW external?
Ed Ingold The simple solution - longer lenses. ElGhuraify Can't feel enough sorry for the trolls that were bashing this camera and praising the R5 to be superior. Now this "inferior" camera gets the same rating with gold award :. Onteo I take landscape and portrait pictures, this camera is not for me. ElGhuraify Onteo Well said, unfortunately here many think that personal preference mean better overall. Buy whatever make you happy and get the job done. Ed Ingold There's more to a camera than mega-pixels, or even image quality.
MrHollywood There's nothing wrong with pointing out the serious limitations of a camera. Video-vs-photo MrHollywood Actually it is very capable for wide variety of still work. MrHollywood I shoot professionally. Alphaville Incredibly repetitive comments, mostly about megapixels high iso, as if the A7s3 didn't offer many other features that make it stand out for making video. MikeRan Most of these comments come from the same few guys.
Video-vs-photo PC-dot-Com Maybe because they endlessly repeat same repertoire? MrHollywood Why aren't people more open minded and honest? This looks like a great camera, IF its strengths are what you require. Video-vs-photo MrHollywood Could you please explain how you eventually become more openminded when you need more than 12Mpix and heavy crop for events, jewelry, candids and sport. MrHollywood I don't think you understand what goes on in a studio or in the field.
Video-vs-photo MrHollywod Do not get me wrong or be offended but this explains all - " I will often require some fairly heavy cropping that 12mp will not allow" - this are just your needs! PC-dot-Com Ah I see. MrHollywood No, you've got that wrong. Video-vs-photo MrHollywood Seems like we both have strange feelings MrHollywood That's a silly response. Video-vs-photo Good, mr. Video-vs-photo I agree most of the part! Wish you all the best!
MrHollywood AWD is not just about going off-road. MrHollywood LOL, we were talking about front wheel drive vs. Video-vs-photo I am the last that will defend Sony products here! MrHollywood I can't take it with me, but my son and his son will get to enjoy it. PC-dot-Com oh. Video-vs-photo Yes you are right, do not worry! All is fine! Mariano Pacifico 12MP.
Yes, in video high-resolution sensor is not needed. Alphaville I think the low mp equals greater low light performance is a misconception, widespread by many bloggers who review cameras.
User I find mentioning the "Fully articulating screen" as one of the camera's highlighted features to be surprising. This time make sure your Sony mirrorless camera is plugged into your computer and turned on.
If all goes well, you will see the following screen. You should also get a run down of the apps found on the connected camera, which will include a notification if any of your apps have an update ready. If all goes well, it will begin installing the update for you on your Sony camera. There you have it! While these 12 steps might look long on this blog post, they really take seconds each. For those looking to pick up some apps for the first time, I highly recommend the following: time-lapse, Angle Shift Add-on for time-lapse and Touchless Shutter to start.
October Coming Soon! Namibia is home to some of the most incredible desert landscapes and wildlife on the planet.

But if portability was your first priority, this wouldn't be your first choice anyway. Reading these comments, I'm a little surprised at the lack of professionalism from reviewers and other commenting DPR Staff.
I kind of expect it from random internet folks, but I'm not sure why the reviewers are in the comments calling people "sony fanboys" and such. I understand that reading the comments must be frustrating, but getting down in the mud yourselves doesn't exactly give credibility to the review or the site. Yes, there are many bodies that provide better out-of-camera JPEG results I liked the feel and weight of the A7ii.
So, I double-checked this: When in any auto focus mode, the focus ring is non-functional. In order to utilize it, you must in the menu choose 'manual focus'. And vice versa. But the focus ring being non-operational except by the menu - that's a deal killer. I'm checking out the Fuji line next. You can set it to DMF, which allows you to override the focus on any compatible lens, which should be all FE and E mount lenses, and most of the higher end A-mount lenses if you're using an adapter.
The Sony menu system is conflicting. Is it like this for canikon? And as you said, if you want DMF then you select that from the menu. Even if you assign one of the buttons to make it a quick change, it's frustrating to me that I can't use it all at the same time. I'm new to photography, though, so maybe this is the sort of thing people have always put up with? Is there a link somewhere where readers can have a read to understand how it performs this test? Pardon me if it's somewhere already on the page but it's not obvious to me old eyes.
It didn't used to be that way for Sony's files. The conclusion states:. Traditionally, mirrorless cameras appeal to users seeking a smaller, lighter option to DSLRs. The a7 II is not particularly small or light, though to be fair, it is smaller and lighter than any full-frame DSLR on the market. That is an amazing accomplishment.
Here's some sample weights:. I don't own any A7 cameras - but they are at the top of my list as a future purchase. But not biased enough to give the A7II a free pass.
Ive got it and its not bulky at all, its rather compact for ff. In fact its a perfect size really, if its too small i find it can be hard to keep movement free whilst shooting.
The size is just about perfect. Very solid camera. To add some perspective For instance, A at grams v grams for A7II But its price will also see it have to square up against Sony's a7 Mark II. How does it fare? Sony has released updates for a range of cameras that address stability issues, provide support for the new mm F4.
The Sony a9 is here and it's likely to make a lot of sports photographers curious about switching to Sony. But what's the actual cost of switching if you're a pro? Read more. A minor firmware update for the Sony a7 II improves exposure when flash is used.

Sony a7 II key features When a non-OSS lens is affixed, even if it's a third party lens with an adapter, 5-axis IS is accomplished fully in-camera. Ergonomic Tweaks To compensate for the increased weight of the a7 II, the size and depth of the grip has been increased, resulting in a very comfortable camera to hold.
An addition custom function button has also been added to the top plate of the camera body. The a7 II right is a good bit heavier than the original a7. To compensate for the added bulk, the grip has been substantially beefed up. Weight aside, the two camera have remarkably similar control layouts; the a7 II should feel very familiar to anyone who has used any of the other a7 cameras.

Razvan Rotaru Photography This camera still sells like crazy, i bought mine one and a half years a go, but i still think it's a great body for it's price. The Dynamic Ranger DPR reviewers enjoy their critiques which are typically very negative when they need not be.
BlueBomberTurbo The camera's been out for 4 years And those sensors are much newer this one's from DimitrisMet Sorry to say but the review is frustrating comparing 2 or 3 different -in every aspect -cameras than a clear review on this specific camera. The camera is connected with the USB cable that came in the box when I bought it. I checked the USB settings as you outlined;. And even though I had them set it didnt work. Finally I ended up giving in and going to a Windows notebook I had, where it worked fine.
Alright, I think I scrolled through the majority of these questions and now I have my own issue. OK great, thank you Sony.
Anyway, I tried simply connecting the camera directly via wifi and all seems good. I confirm purchase via credit card on file in playstation account and BOOM, internal error.
WTF is internal error? Any ideas? I feel for you, but why is pulling the app down via your laptop assumed to not work maybe by not reading all the posts above I missed something related to this? Though not on a laptop, I used my iMac with El Capitan successfully after much frustration to download apps. Sony needs to clean this up, and better yet, for the price of these cameras, include at least the multiple exposure and timelapse apps with the cameras by default or whatever their most popular apps are to ease the obvious frustration that users of their cameras are experiencing.
I was so frustrated last night I wanted to throw my camera. Why make us pay and on top of that use this horrendous interface to download? Thanks for creating this post.
Many Thanks! The whole Play Memories ecosystem is unbearably slow, inefficient, buggy, ugly… I have set up both credit cards and paypal account but both the site and the in-camera app refuse my money. Really embarrassing for Sony. Unable to download the time-lapse app for my Sony a Really disappointed. I see now that macOS Sierra is not supported.
Suppose that might explain it. Install Precautions regarding installation. If a warning, such as the following, appears in the browser, follow its instruction and continue the process. A diagram, such as the following, may be displayed during installation. Not really sure what to do. After I installed that, I restarted the computer, logged in again to PlayMemories and switched the camera back on. Nothing… I have a Sony A I have the same problem as the person above.
Any suggestions to overcome this problem? Mac My best advice is to find a friend running Windows or Mac Hi Brian. This was a great post from you. However, Sony have made it incredibly difficult. I have spent 2 days about 16 hour trying to download the apps. I can download the free apps but i cant pay for the ones i really want like the time lapse. This big company Sony has done an absolute terrible job on this web site. Is there any solution to any of this. I have tried everything listed in the many many comments above.
Can use paypal, cant use credit cards, cant add to wallet with credit card or wallet. Do you have any final suggestions. Im using safari. Please add your comments there too:. Hi Brian- do you know if Thanks for all your knowledge in this area. Greatly appreciated. Probably a bit late to this play-memories apps problems; but, I finally solved my issue I gave up before Xmas and tried again today.
Sony RX10 M3. Free app download worked fine. Not able to purchase via USB connect or camera Wifi. Valid credit card set up. Added the gift card code to wallet on playmemories online. Resubmitted purchase via USB using wallet and presto — smooth as silk. Wifi purchase works as well. I used the same ccard to purchase the gift card. OR — how difficult would it be for Sony to specify a Playstation Gift Card as the next best option for payment, if unable to purchase with ccard.
Not sure how many of us had the exact same problem; but, you saved me some time by highlighting the requirement for the Sony Playstation Network. I just want to quickly buy my apps. Hi Brian, Thanks for this amazing website which is really helpful for new Sony user like me. I have followed the exact same steps but I have some problems. But I purchased it from Singapore last month.
Thanks in advance. Is there a way to manually install that app via usb without the downloader? Thank you. Followed everything up to step 4 connect a camera. Below that it says if installation fails Clicked that, gave it permission to instal, imac re booted, went back to try to connect camera, round and round and round If I click the downloaded file it tells me there is no application set to open. Thnx for the quick response, I have turned off all anti virus, turned off the firewall, disconnected all the usb leads from the back.
It is downloading the. Hi Brian, is there any way to delete a camera app of my Sony a? Any tips please? Hello, I have questions. Are these apps really necessary? I mean I know I can do most of the things using the camera features itself, and computer editing. But if you think there are some playmemories apps, that are really amazing, which would they be for a? My favorite app is the upgrade to Smart Remote Control.
Much more functionality than the Embedded version that ships with the cameras. Lots of folks like Time Lapse, but only if you plan to shoot them. The Apps interface on my Sony A is a confusing mess. Is it possible to use the Smart Remote Control app in full screen on my iPad?
Up till now it uses a large part of the screen for the menu, most of the screen is black. Depends on screen resolution. It will appear larger on a low resolution tablet. Samsung S5 phone.
Guess I should update, but that even sounds scary. Prefer Idiot-proof editing software, assuming it exists, Tks. Adobe Premiere is the best mid-range video editing app.
Apple Final Cut X is the easiest entry level video editing app. I get stuck at Step 5. My RX10M2 does not seem to do anything different when plugged into a laptop.
Ok, it turns out that the USB the camera was supplied charges the camera, but did not transfer any data. My Kindle USB cable is working great with the camera. Problem solved. You got me stumped on that one. Glad you could make it work! Can you help? Hi Beth. I suggest using a more robust program like Lightroom for file management. Do I need a new laptop? I searched online and others have this same issue…. Thank you! I was having trouble connecting my iphone to my Sony a — the problem was outdated software.
Your instructions really helped. Thanks again. I know the advice is use a computer instead, but I was then suffering the repeated request to install the installer!! I would not have thought of that as my region actually is USA. Thanks for the heads up for any other U. Bureaucracy at its finest. Bureaucracy is Correct! Meaning your government has not granted Sony approval to sell apps in your country. New A, just want to be able to access and get apps.
I am running Mac Connect the camera with no problems; have registered and signed in. I am using Safari. Have tried multiple things. Actually, no. I just used another miniUSB….
