A7sIII now listed at BHphoto and in Germany at Fotokoch
I got some more tidbits (Thanks source!). This is what he had to say about the A7sIII:
The marketing phrase they could use is: “4K that works!” unlike some other recent 4k/8K camera from the competition :)
Before to move on with the post let me make an anti-troll statement:
The Canon EOS-R5 and R6 are great cameras with tremendous IBIS performance and nice 8K add-on (on the EOS-R5). Chapeau to Canon!
Now to the story:
What you see on the image above is the new Canon EOS-R6 covered with a bag of Ice cubes in a (failed!) attempt to cool down the camera. Cinemad5D made the first independent attempt to shoot a professional movie with the R6 and writes:
Recording time imitations is one thing but overheating shutdown in unexpected points of the filming day is truly an obstacle. Furthermore, the recovery time is long (or at least seems to be long when you are under pressure to resume filming as your talents are all waiting). As my frustration grew, I tried it all. Ice bag on the camera, strong fan pointing directly to the sensor glass (yes, at some point I did not care anymore about exposing the sensor to the strong wind as long as I can resume filming)… I also tried looking up at the sky and mumble a few words (if it doesn’t help, it won’t hurt for sure I thought). I even made promises to be a nicer person and a good friend. All for the sake of seeing the camera working again, BUT, no evil. The weather-sealed camera body did a “great job” by doing what it supposed to do, and not let anything enter it. Not even the fresh fan air…
Frustrated as hell, I had to apologize to Mari Fujii-san and Neal. Some of the best images I was supposed to capture that day were missed. Other actions had to be repeated and if it was not enough, at some point I had the “genius idea” of lowering the resolution to Full HD and continue shooting, just not to waste their time. This method worked to some extent, but not all the time. Some of the kitchen images you see in this video were upscaled from full HD to 4K in order to match the rest of the footage.
Bottom line, the Canon EOS R6 controlled my filming day instead of me controlling it in order to tell a visual story.
This is just to say that the EOS-R5/6 and the Sony A7sIII are two different kind of tools. The Canon’s are probably better suited for stills photography than video and they compete against the A7RIV and A7III. For professional video work the Sony A7sIII is definitely the way to go.
Here is Cinema5D video report:
Here is another image of the Sony A7sIII with the fully articulating screen. Below you can see a screen grab from the LCD screen showing the 4k 100p 4:2:2 10bit setting

Topaz released a new update on Sharpen AI. And for a limited time you save $30 (or Euro) when using our checkout code “RUMOR”. You can also try it for free for a month if you like to see if it works.
What’s new?
One of the new features will be the auto-detect masking tool to generate base masks. It can detect 20 different types of subjects, including people, cars, planes, and various animals. This feature can be accessed by clicking the “Masking” brush icon near the top of the screen by the view options and then clicking “Auto-Detect” in the bottom righthand corner.
Also we’ve added an “auto-detect mode” capability which will allow Sharpen AI to select the best processing mode for your image (from the Focus, Stabilize, and Sharpen modes). Each of those three modes tackles image blur at its root cause, but now users can let Sharpen AI choose for them. This update will allow users to take full advantage of Sharpen AI’s technology by requiring less user input to generate great results.
Those are just a couple of the new updates. You’ll find several updates to the UI design as well, new product tour and tutorial, as well as new fixes and additions throughout the product for a better experience.
You can use our checkout code “RUMOR” to get an additional 15% discount on all TOPAZ products (Click here). And you have this massive savings on the full Topaz Utility bundle ($195 off using our code “RUMOR“)
