Video-focused cameras tend to cost more than comparable stills cameras, however, and at the price the A7S III is in good company with the 6K Panasonic S1H, which costs $3,999 / £3,599 / AU$5,999. That’s significantly more than the Sony A7S II cost at launch, and also more than the Canon EOS R6, which costs $2,499 / £2,499 / AU$4,499. US readers can head to B&H Photo (opens in new tab) if you're keen on picking one up, while in Australia, the A7S III began shipping in October 2020 and can be picked up from Aussie retailer CameraPro (opens in new tab). The A7S III was released in September 2020 and is now available to buy either directly from Sony or from major retailers for $3,499.99 / £3,800 / AU$5,999 for the body only. The sticking point with the A7S III is always going to be price – it's a hefty investment, especially if you want to couple it with decent glass and fast storage – but the camera itself is the best in its class.
While we had a fair amount of variability in our device’s battery life, it comfortably captured 4K video for in excess of 75 minutes in our tests, which is great going compared to much of the competition. When it comes to power, the new Z battery delivers what Sony claims to be a 60% performance improvement over the Sony A7S Mark II's NP-FW50, which translates to up to 95 minutes of video capture, on paper. This is more than just a video camera though, and stills captured indoors look stunning, with simple incidental shots in dimly lit environments exhibiting an ambience and clarity usually missing from out-of-the-camera photos. Sony has also improved focus speeds on the A7S III, and it partly puts this down to the sensor sensitivity performance, which enables the camera to identify subjects in lower light than sensors with inferior sensitivity.
#SMART SHOOTER 3 REVIEW ISO#
Even when we set the ISO in excess of 40,000, it still produced usable footage for certain types of video. Tether Tools’ value proposition here is the combination of these tasks into one system inside of Lightroom.With images captured at sensitivities between ISO 2000-4000 looking like they were shot nearer 200-400, the A7S III is a liberating camera to use, and, naturally, you can boost the ISO much higher. So while remote camera control with Sony wasn’t impossible before, it wasn’t particularly straightforward either. Lightroom would only be able to work as the viewer and editor for the photos, while the Sony app would act as the controller and send those files to a predetermined folder on your computer. To this point, the process has been protracted and uses two applications: a combination of the Sony Imaging Edge application and Adobe Lightroom. The biggest takeaway here is the ability to properly tether Sony cameras inside of Lightroom.
#SMART SHOOTER 3 REVIEW PRO#
Smart Shooter 4 PRO costs $195.95 and has the functions from the base version but offers the multi-camera control functionality, barcode and QR code scanning, external API integration, and custom scripting. Smart Shooter 4, which costs $69.95, can be used with one camera and offers tethered shooting, remote control, live view, and prepackaged scripts. Smart Shooter comes in two versions, both for a single user, and can be purchased from Tether Tools’ website.
