In terms of cost, the Sony A7 iii body is priced at $2,000 while the Panasonic’s GH5 body costs a bit less at $1,700. Use a set of extension tubes and get even closer! Pair these features with a really good macro lens, such as the Sony FE 90mm F2.8 macro lens, and you will be blown away by the details you can capture. In crop mode you can gain an extra 1.5x reach while the Clear Image Zoom mode provides an additional 1.5x reach (the GH5 only has 1.4x crop in 4K). Extra Reach with Sony A7 iiiĪnother benefit with the Sony A7 iii is the ability to zoom in further on a shot while shooting 4K video. By many accounts it stinks and for me that was a deal breaker since on the fly focus really helps when shooting moving critters in a reef tank. The big issue with the GH5 is auto-focus. įor advanced shooters who like to do their own color grading/correction, the GH5 is capable of outputting 10-bit video (with a billion colors) versus a lower 8-bit output for the Sony.

But as you can see from this video, the slo-mo coming out of the Sony at 1080p is not too shabby, especially when you use a gimbal. The Sony A7 iii can only record slow motion video at 120 fps while shooting at 1080p. You can shoot 4K at 60 fps (frames per second) and 1080p at 180 fps, allowing the shooter to capture brilliant video in slow motion.

Ok, what about the GH5? By many accounts, the GH5 is one of the top cameras for taking 4K video.

You can shoot full frame 4K video with the GH5 and Sony A7 iii.

Cropped 4K Video – The image when shooting 4K video is cropped by a factor of 1.7x, meaning less field of view.

Stabilization is important to have for taking videos of a reef tank since it smooths out hand-held shots, especially when you are tracking fish. Canon lenses do have IS but the GH5 and Sony A7 iii both have in-body IS that can be paired with IS lenses.

No image stabilization in the camera body.

It is brand new, a red flag since new products are more susceptible to problems versus established products.

But there were several problems with the EOS R. The Canon EOS R is Canon’s brand new entry into the mirrorless camera market and I really wanted to stick with a Canon since I had invested a good chunk of change in Canon lenses. Mirrorless cameras also tend to have superior autofocus……plus an increasing number of mirrorless cameras capture 4K video, something only higher-end DSLRs can do.įocusing on mirrorless cameras, I narrowed my search down to three choices: the Canon EOS R, Panasonic’s Lumix GH5 and Sony’s A7 iii. Why? Well, without a mirror they are lighter and more compact, making it easier to stabilize the camera. The Canon 5D Mark iii is a DSLR but what I quickly learned while investigating options is that mirrorless cameras are typically better for video. The camera did a solid job on the video front but it lacked certain features, most importantly the ability to capture 4K video.

I chose the Canon since it could take HD video and was also a popular choice among professional still photographers. Several years ago I ended up purchasing a Canon 5D Mark iii to take videos and photographs of my reef. Hey, if you have a bitchin’ tank then why not do your best to show it off to the rest of the world? Granted, it is not a cheap solution but I do think it’s justifiable to spend decent $$ on camera equipment given how much we tend to invest in corals and tank equipment. Is there a clear choice out there for us reef keepers when it comes to finding the best camera for a reef tank? Recently, I did some extensive research while in the market for a new camera and I believe the camera I settled on, a Sony A7 iii, is ideal for aquarium hobbyists, especially for video.
