This is perhaps the best technical review of the new Sony A7S III camera for video capture I have come across. Spoiler Alert > Gerald ordered two of these cameras after reviewing them and decided not to order the Canon he had his eyes on.

I will probably review this camera for stills at the end of they year and will be looking at the dual gain nature of the sensor in this camera, which unlike Sony's other full-frame dual-gain sensors is set to ISO 640 and ISO 16,000 - this should provide sweet spots for astro and night photography.

Hi Mark As good as A7Siii is I'm guessing it won't go on your wish list as the reviews I've seen indicate it leans heavily to video as opposed too stills. I will await your review with interest.

Mark Galer

That’s correct - I’ll be interested to test it’s high ISO performance for stills as the dual gain sensor appears to be set to 640 and 1600 instead of 100 and 320 or 640.
