The A9 III sets a new benchmark with its ability to capture a staggering 120 frames per second, offering blackout-free shooting. It features a shutter speed that soars to 1/80,000 of a second — a tenfold increase over conventional cameras — and does so with no rolling shutter effect. Despite its modest 24.6-megapixel resolution, the camera’s speed may well compensate for photographers prioritizing performance over pixel count.
This camera revolutionizes photography by removing traditional physical shutter limitations, enabling 14-bit RAW bursts at full resolution, culminating in approximately 180 shots within a 1.6-second buffer.
It also incorporates the latest Bionz XR image processor and employs a sophisticated autofocus system capable of near-instantaneous real-time tracking. With the integration of AI, the camera boasts algorithms that identify a wide array of subjects with exceptional accuracy, enabling the capture of moments that typically elude the naked eye.
For photographers aiming to secure the perfect shot, the A9 III offers a pre-burst feature that captures images one second before the shutter release, minimizing missed opportunities.
In the realm of videography, the A9 III excels with a flicker-free shutter adjustment and is the pioneer in supporting 4K 120p recording without crop or distortion. It offers 4K 60p recording with 6K oversampling and 10-bit color depth across all video modes. Drawing from Sony’s elite Venice series, the A9 III brings the sought-after S-Cinetone color profile, enhancing human skin tones exquisitely.
Autofocus modes are as robust in video as they are in still photography.
Other notable features include an 8-stop stabilization system, a state-of-the-art electronic viewfinder with 9.44 million dots, and dual compatibility with CFexpress Type A and SD UHS II cards. The ISO range stretches from 250-25,600, expandable up to 125-51,200.
The Sony Alpha A9 III, priced at $6,000 for the body alone, is available for pre-order, with a separate vertical grip accessory priced at $400. The camera is scheduled for release in the spring of 2024.
