New Sony A7R III Specs


Inside the a7R III is a 42.4-megapixel back-illuminated full-frame Exmore R CMOS sensor. Despite its high megapixel count, the a7R III is fast with a continuous shooting speed of up to 10fps with full AF/AE tracking — this is twice as fast as the 5fps offered by the a7R II.Using either the mechanical shutter or the completely silent shooting mode, you can capture a burst of up to 76 JPEG/RAW photos and 28 uncompressed RAW files. In live view, you can shoot at 8fps with minimal viewfinder/LCD lag.
The updated BIONZ X processing engine can also process images 1.8 times faster than the a7R II. While a batch of photos is being written to the memory card, many of the camera’s key features are still usable — things like the Function and Menu buttons as well as image playback and organization.
Compared to the a7R II, the new a7R III also features new technologies — a gapless on-chip lens design and anti-reflective sensor coating — to achieve better low-light performance and wider dynamic range. The a7R III features an ISO range of 100-32000 (expandable to 50-102400) and a ginormous 15-stop dynamic range at low ISOs.

The focusing system of the a7R III features 399 focal-plane phase-detection points that span 68% of the image area and 425 contrast AF points — this is 400 more contrast points than the a7R II, which had 25. The result of this upgrade is that the a7R III can lock in focus at about half the time in low-light situations compared to its predecessor, and tracking and Eye AF are 2 times as accurate and effective.
“Additional improvements in focusing flexibility include AF availability in Focus Magnifier mode, focal-plane phase-detection AF support when using A-mount lenses, an ‘AF On’ button, a multi-selector or ‘joystick’ for moving focusing points quickly, flexible touch focus functionality and much more,” Sony says.
On the back of the a7R III is a high-res OLED Tru-Finder viewfinder with 3.686 million dots. It has coatings that reduce reflections and resist dirt and can be toggled between frame rates of 60fps and 120fps.Under the viewfinder is a 1.44-million-dot LCD screen with improved viewing in bright conditions as well as an adjustable quality setting (“Standard” and “High”).In the area of video, the a7R III can shoot 4K video across the width of the full-frame sensor. It can also shoot Super 35mm format with full pixel readout without pixel binning for 5K worth of data and then oversample it for impressive 4K footage.

Video format explained and compared

 This article explains main video formats and later compares with photos the quality. Audio Video Interleave (.avi) Developed by Microsoft and released with Windows 3.1 way back when false teeth were still made out of wood, AVI files have been a work horse of digital video. Although its popularity has been waning, lots of legacy video in AVI can be found all over the web. More recently, AVI has been abandoned for Microsoft's WMV (Windows Media Video). One of the most maddening things about AVI today is that the format doesn't allow for specifying an aspect ratio, so a 16:9 AVI video may start displaying at 4:3 - this is less of a problem if your player allows you to manually select aspect ratios. If you're watching in the non-pro version of QuickTime though, you'll have to learn to live with people being unusually narrow. Advanced Systems Format (.asf) ASF is a proprietary Microsoft container that usually houses files compressed with Microsoft's ...

How video compression works

What is compression? Compression  is a reversible conversion  (encoding)  of data that contains fewer  bits. This allows  a more efficient storage and transmission of the data. The inverse process is  called  decompression (decoding). Software  and  hardware that can encode  and decode  are  called decoders. Both combined  form a codec and should not be confused with the terms data container or compression algorithms. Lossless compression  allows a  100% recovery  of the  original data.  It is usually used  for text or executable files, where a  loss of information is  a  major damage. These  compression algorithms often use  statistical information to reduce redundancies.  Huffman-Coding [1] and  Run Length Encoding  [2] are two popular examples allowing high compression ratios depending on the data.  Using  lossy compression  doe...

1100 $ AMD system to edit 4K

Amd recently has released some great CPU with high cores and low prices. About 305$ you can get an editing beast with 8 cores @3.7 GHz. This cpu will be enough to edit smoothly. There are more expensive cpu and higher cores or higher frequencies but to be honest we don't need real time exporting. You can have a break and drink a coffee while exporting your video. Memory is important. Lower the size the more time it takes to do task. I recommend 16GB DDR4. (2400Mhz or more is great also). That amount will make switching between applications easier and faster. So right now we spent 305 dollars for cpu and 150 for memory (RAM). Sum is 455 $. Lets suppose you are upgrading your system so you have some hard drives and some ssd maybe. I love SSDs for system and as a drive for footages. For the system Samsung EVO 970 will do a great job for 90$ ( Sata m.2 250GB @Read speed up to 3400 MB/s). Asus x470 Pro is a great mainboard for 160$. Also find power supply more than 500w. I recommen...
