Yes, there are two slots each for UHS II cards and CFexpress Type A, though you can only use one or the other at a time. The A7S III will be able to handle those relatively high internal data rates thanks to the world’s first CFexpress Type A/SD UHS II dual slots. In addition, you’ll be able to capture full-frame (4,264 x 2,408) 16-bit RAW video externally via the full-sized, Type a HDMI port, though Sony didn’t say which external recorders will be supported. For HDR shooters, it’ll also capture 10-bit HLG with 4 presets and let you record 1080p/720p proxies at the same time. If you use Sony’s S-Log2/S-Log3 picture profiles, you’ll see up to 15+ stops of dynamic range, far more than most other consumer cameras. That’s possible thanks to a new heat management structure built into the camera. In addition, Sony has tested 4K 60p capture at up to one hour, though it said there’s no recording time limit in theory. That bests the maximum 400 Mbps you can capture on Panasonic’s GH5, for instance. The A7S III will record video internally with up to 10-bit, 4:2:2 color sampling and a maximum of 600 Mbps in its XAVC All-Intra (H.264) format. In a demo I saw, it was barely noticeable. And while rolling shutter was a problem with the A7S II, the A7S III has double the readout speed for three times less rolling shutter. It can capture 4K video at up to 120 fps and full HD at 240 fps, with a full sensor readout and no pixel binning in all video modes. “I undesrtand now why the Sony a7sIII doesn’t feature 4K DCI, shutter angle, Synchro Scan, and all the bells and whistles of real cine cameras.While the A7S III doesn’t offer 8K like Canon’s latest EOS R5 (or even 6K), it now offers top-notch 4K specs. The 8K I am less interested in and the 4K/120p is already done very well by the Sony A7S III.ĮOSHD forum users have been quick to point out however that the A7S III suspiciously lacks a lot of Cinema Line features (and maybe now you know why)! It does have an internal ND – we can speculate that Sony have finally found a way to bring their electronic ND to a small camera of this form factor… That would be marvellous and really set the FX3 apart. The Canon C70 is the nearest competitor to this but of course isn’t full frame. It nevertheless fully flexes Sony’s imaging technology and demonstrates how far their sensors are ahead of Canon and Nikon. I am not expecting it to be anywhere near as good value for money as the Sigma Fp. This will be a high margin, cheap to manufacture camera for Sony. There’s every chance it could cost a lot more though. If this is to be basically a Sony A1 in a smaller body with more video features then it could be a very attractive option especially if they keep the price down under $4K. It looks barely any larger than the Sigma Fp, and a lot smaller than the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K. The screen is fully articulated, and Sony went for Small with a capital S. It could be there’s an add-on though that can be slotted in on top. Unfortunately that’s not the case and there’s no EVF either. Strange joystick position on the top, which led some to speculate the screen might extend the full width of the back like the long promised and not delivered Sharp 8K mirrorless camera. I like the gunmetal grey finish from the CineAlta series, much nicer than the A7C.Īs you can see, this is an A7C on steroids and the first merging we’ve seen of the Sony Cinema Line with Alpha mirrorless form factor. Here it is pictured in the wild by somebody leakier than a bucket with no bottom… It’s expected to inherit the 8K full frame sensor of the recently announced A1, whilst packing in many of the same codec options and video features of the FX6. The Sony A7C is getting a huge upgrade for filmmakers.
