Panasonic Lumix G9 vs Sony Alpha 7 III

I had high hopes for the G9 being a long time MFT system user. Unfortunately, the four-thirds sensor still hampers the beautifully built G9 with excellent handling and controls. The image quality is simply inferior to the similarly priced Nikon D7500 that I replaced the G9 with. The metering system is also not as accurate as the Nikon 3D matrix metering

The best camera for landscape photography we've tested is the Sony α7 III. Though it's now been replaced by the Sony α7 IV, this well-built camera remains a popular choice among newcomers and photography enthusiasts. It uses a 24-megapixel full-frame sensor that delivers incredibly high-quality images with a ton of dynamic range to give you more latitude when processing your photos.

With image stabilization, 4K/60p and 10-bit internal recording, this might be the best camera for "cinematic" parkour in your price range. Hope this is helpful and good luck finding the right camera for your needs!

It's become clear that the A7C overheats shooting 4K24/4K30 around the 1:20 or 1:30 mark. This is not even recording continuously, it's just having the camera turned on (for CamLink output or b-roll) that long at a time. I wanted to see if this "issue" lines up with what the A7C is capable of. I do video work for a living, so I am considering selling my A7 III and getting an A7S III as my main video shooter

It's certainly good enough to create some great images, but aside from it's extra zoom range and great IS, it is not up to the standard of either my old beat up Panasonic 12-35mm F2.8 or a borrowed Olympus 12-40mm f2.8. Both of those lenses are sharper through the range, especially in the corners were the 12-60mm falls flat

I then tried to use the manual focus but nothing happens, I remembered I had to turn the manual focus option on, so I get into the menu and the focus mode option is greyed out, if I try get into the option an error message "your lens is not supported or its installed incorrectly" shows up, only way to go is to shut camera off and turned it on again, which will return autofocus to work, but if i repeat the exercise it just stops working all over again, sometimes even without crop mode/zoom mode on, just by going from 28 to 70 mm on the lens, or even mid way, maybe 40 mm or 50 mm. Sometimes even the camera would pull me out of menu screen, I would click menu button, I am trying to navigate menu, then you can hear the focus mechanism moving and camera pulls me out of menu screen o regular screen, I have to press menu again, sometimes to be pulled out of the menu repeated times I re installed the lens (white dot with white dot, turn until click noise) golden plates on the lens are clean, did this 3 times, nothing. I called Amazon service, friendly person who quickly contacted me to Sony, and this is the part I did not like. We went through basic things to try and fix the issue, including resetting the camera, after which the issue presented itself quite quickly, so the person at Sony (again, a very friendly and helpful person) told me I needed to send the camera back to Sony for service

Image stabilization performance is amazing. Autofocus is fast with all my Lumix lenses. The Panasonic raw files open easily in the Photoshop Elements application. Also, the Panasonic Image App with WiFi allows me to control the camera settings and shutter firing from my iPad, including touch focus - i

Before getting into the details, I'll just get the summary out of the way: This camera is fantastic. It is replacing my aging Canon 5D Mark III, and it does that job well. The biggest benefit for me is the in-body stabilization (SteadyShot), which works perfectly for legacy and other non-stabilized lenses. Sony calls this a "basic" model, but it is far beyond what I would consider to be basic

I own a Lumix G9 (micro four thirds) and a Canon Eos R (full frame). The G9 is my favorite camera EVER. Every feature you can think of, quick auto focus, excellent video features, and great ergonomics.

I mean the A7 3 is really borrowing a lot from other cameras in this series like the A7, R3 and the A9, but there are some standout things I do want t...

I personally would not recommend the EOS M50 as it is worse in low light than the Panasonic, it loses the advantage of having good AF if you record in 4K, it has no IBIS and it isn't weather-sealed and there aren't a lot of native lenses for the system. Personally, I think Panasonic offers more for less, but if you need good AF for sure, then get one of the Sony cameras.

There seem to be a lot of confusing overlap, but once you dive deeper into each setting and dial down to the one that you want for a particular situat...

I started with Nikon, went to a Canon 5dmkii, have had other canons and also 3 fuji x series cameras Firstly, what kind of company ships a $2000 camera without a battery charger? I get it, it can plug into your computer to charge or car adapter via USB-C. But that means more wear and tear on the USB port which will eventually be loose and then have issues. When I get home I prefer to take my battery out and put it on the charger which will tell me when its charged. Second

If, in addition to rugged and weather-sealed with good reach for wildlife, you also need to keep the kit as small and light as possible for your travels, then I would second the recommendation to look at micro four thirds. The Olympus E-M1 (mark III) or Panasonic G9 would be great choices. They are highly capable cameras (check out Jay Dickman's work, for example, if you want to see what's possible with these cameras for travel wildlife and portraits), and they have a major size and weight advantage when you get into telephoto lenses.

A Sony A7iii could be an option as they’re slightly lighter and, being an older generation, cheaper. The biggest bulk & weight is going to be your lens though and if you’re using it professionally I wouldn’t recommend cutting down on the quality of lens so I’m not sure how much you’re going to save in terms of weight and size overall to be honest!
