The grip, the feeling of the A7III is by far better, the Pocket instead is light but plasticky and cannot stand a chance. The A7III is a small camera, probably even smaller than the already compact Fuji XT3, and it should take the actual name of Pocket Camera since the new 4K version of Blackmagic’s camera will hardly fit into any pocket at all. The Sony offers no option in 4K to record high frame rates, so for lack of opponent this round goes to the Pocket 4K. On the slow-mo side of things, there is a noticeable lack of competition. it seems it would be time for Sony to move past it and offer some other options, but as it is we have to give this round to the Pocket. It’s not clear why the A7III sticks to the H264 100Mbs file that is common to almost the entirety of Sony’s lineup. The range goes from the newly added Blackmagic Raw to a nice range of edit-friendly ProRes files. The Blackmagic Pocket 4K has a nice variety of codecs in camera. Yes, the Pocket 4K has gone above and beyond if compared to previous Blackmagic cameras, but it just can’t stand the competition. The sharpness and usability of clips shot at high ISOs on Sony’s mirrorless are high above any other camera at the moment. That may be real on the press sheets, or in a test made in perfect conditions, but the impression we get in the real world is that the shorter range in the Pocket has a better recovery once in DaVinci Resolve where we it’s possible to get 5 stops of exposure back, thus giving this round to the Pocket. On paper this seems like a lost battle to the Pocket as the Sony A7III, in fact, has 14 stops (someone says even 15 stops) of dynamic range. So, if you’re considering one of those two cameras you cannot miss this side to side comparison by JSFILMZ. The mirrorless segment blossomed together with that A7III, and Blackmagic has been known for its disruptive approach to the market itself.īoth the A7III and the Pocket 4K are of good value, having each its pros and cons, from price point to sensor size and so on. In recent years with the Alpha line, Sony has got a lot of traction in the market. If you’re in the market for a new camera, there are a couple that obviously stand out from the crowd.
