The Sony A7S III uses a Z battery for its power and can be charged via USB-C for up to 600 photos or 95mins of video. I’ve had a lot of people ask me if it would be replacing my D4s cameras and the answer to that is – of course not. Sony Exmor sensors have higher DR due to lower read noise (because they have ADC on the sensor itself).

Higher than that starts to get you noise that just can’t be removed without killing edges completely.

My brief use of this lens tells me it is excellent, but as usual with the dedicated video gear, your rig gets big and heavy fast, which is kind of the antithesis of the A7 series.Together with the low light capabilities, Sony reworked the sensor and camera to provide additional video capabilities. The camera is full of professional-level functionality whilst also being completely usable for the experienced freelance video content creator.

Recently I FINALLY had the chance to try out a Sony a7S (even though I’m super late to the party, as there's a new version out of this camera lol), during a recent Wedding I photographed.

But I can't imagine that's a big enough problem that you should always try to focus at/near the selected aperture, especially since DOF increases as you stop down anyway, masking focus shift. HOWEVER: What I am missing, from an amateur's photographer point of view, is a decently fast zoom lens (24-105 or 18-200 mm).There is a setting to turn off exposure preview so the EVF stays bright, even though the exposure is for the flash and the subject is lit with modeling lights or the room light many stops lower. Overall, I’d tend to say that ISO 6400 is my “absolutely comfortable” boundary with this camera, much as it is with the Nikon D4/D4s/Df, the other low-light champion full frame cameras out there. I have been very tempted to go the A7II route, but I have to say the reports of cooked raws, plus my own experience that Sony raws are not as flexible as others', concerns me.
