I was actually on set the last few days, and especially during the launch, which I believe was on Tuesday.
This is a long-awaited camera from people that use the A7S II, which splashed onto the market almost five years ago now, I believe.
It was known as being the low-light beast, had very, very solid image quality, and for a while it kind of dominated the mirrorless video scene, and then it kind of fell off a bit as other cameras came out with better features.
And so after five long years, Sony has come out with the, I guess, the perfect camera for some people, if you are specifically into video.
I know a lot of friends that have personally ordered it, or pre-ordered it, sorry, and you've probably seen online that a lot of people have ordered it as well.
I'm gonna throw this over to Aaron, because you are the resident Sony fanboy, and I feel like you probably know the most about this camera as well.
Do you want to just give us a spark notes on just like the standout kind of features of what this camera is offering and why people should be excited about it?
I mean, for starters, you should just look up Gerald Undone's video about it because I don't know who said it, but if you watch that, you are essentially an expert on the topic.
Like the guy goes very in depth more than I could ever give you.
It does 10-bit 422, if you have any idea what that means.
It means pretty colors, really.
It means when you point it at the sky, it's not like a rainbow of shades of blue, but it's like a nice gradient, things like that.
It now has the capability to do 16-bit raw output if you use an external recorder.
But at this point, there's no recorder that actually does that.
But basically, everything that people have been asking for when it comes to video and Sony's, they've delivered on.
More frame rate options, the best possible quality 4K, and just an overall great experience.
And the most important feature that people have been hammering on for years and years and years a flip-out LCD screen.
So that's basically all there is to know.
It's great for video.
It's decent for photo.
think that about covers it really actually that's all you need to know
