Lol, it doesn't on here (using safari). That crop looked Ok though, and I've since looked on Flickr which looked better too. Can only only call it as I see it :p
 
So i didnt get to use the EVF is a lot of what i would call low and bright lights. How does the A7iii stand up in dark and gloomy indoor lighting? Would there be any lag, drop in quality or other issues that may effect tracking subjects?

Why when you've already got, and don't use, the best camera Sony make?

I know..... Sony GAS innit.... I managed to talk myself out of buying it last night... so hopefully I resist.... however if I end up doing some events / weddings I may take the plunge.

Spend the money on going away somewhere to actually use the kit you have now before you buy more kit to sit on the shelf.

Why spend the money on something you may do? You're spending a fortune on gear you don't use mate. IF AND WHEN YOU NEED IT, then buy. You're just losing money.

Your both right..... I will aim to go on a Sony GAS ban for 2018 :)
Apple GAS will continue as planned :D lol
 
Mate just phoned Wilkinson re when to expect the camera to ship. Advised not expecting stock of a7iii until mid to late April.

The A7iii won't be able to keep up with the A9 and A7riii as they have a faster refresh rate. I'm sure I saw a video of the lag with the A7iii on youtube, but it might have been one of the other models as you know what my memory's like ;)

Sure it will be fine for keeping up with what I shoot. Well, hopefully !

So like you say, it’s a huge crop to even see the effect. Looking at the original image, even though I know where the lines are, I don’t see them without zooming in.

I think it was more noticeable on the first image tbh, you could see that at normal size but even that was faint and in an extreme situation. Would be interesting to know how the A7iii would compare in the same test to know if it is actually worse than the A9. In one respect it's good to know about these things, but on the other hand it's not so good as you start to look for problems that you might never see. I'm sure most people who've read this thread (and any other similar threads) will scrutinise their images now looking for it, yet had they not known they would have just marvelled at their images without a care in the world ;) Could be worse, could have a Fuji :eek: :sneaky::whistle:

The first image Dan posted was the actual 1:1 crop of the full size image (which is why it was more noticeable). Looking at the full image, there’s no way I’d have an issue giving that to any of my portrait/wedding clients, other than the massive flare caused by the extreme lighting!

It was this video I was talking about, but surprisingly it was the A9 not A7iii. You always have to take this guy with a pinch of salt though, Dan's shot BIF and never complained about lag so I'm assuming angry tog has some weird setting.

I never take his videos seriously as it’s mostly bull****t!
The Sony A9 has one of the best EVF’s

The Sony A9 was geared towards silent shutter usage, you get lag on the mechanical shutters, it’s not the EVF or refresh though, this similar across all the A7 bodies and not just the A9.
