The epic a9III
I have only Owned this camera for a few weeks but in that short time it has revolutionised my photography. A game changer. Superb piece of craftsmanship from Sony.
Exceptional
I got this camera to complement my A1 but ended up completely replacing the A1. The main reason for purchase is virtually unlimited x-sync that allows me to shoot all sorts of action with strobes in bright daylight. I can get 30 fps shot at 1/12800s fully synced with my Godox strobes (no HSS!) easily with this camera. If you think about it - 30 fps is basically a movie! This is just mind blowing. Auto-focus is great, it's more reliable compared to the A1 thanks to the more advanced ML image r...

The power of one frame from the a9 III’s unprecedented global shutter system
This groundbreaking Sony a9 III Camera introduces the world's first full-frame global shutter image sensor, setting a new benchmark in imaging technology. With a max shutter speed of 1/80,000 seconds and 120 fps continuous shooting, it excels in capturing decisive moments with AI subject recognition, while Flash Sync at any shutter speed ensures consistent illumination. The new ergonomic design and quick-response buttons make it comfortable for prolonged handheld shooting. Videographers will also benefit from its 4k 60p video with full pixel readout (4k 120p without cropping), oversampled from 6K.
World’s First Full-Frame Camera with Global Shutter
The α9 III boasts the world's first full-frame stacked 24.6 MP CMOS image sensor with a global shutter system. Unlike rolling shutter sensors, which record images sequentially, this Exmor RS™ image sensor simultaneously exposes and reads all pixels, eliminating rolling shutter distortion. This camera is a game changer for professionals who require distortion-free imagery, such as sports and action photographers.
Blackout-Free, High-Speed Shooting
With its ability to shoot at an astounding 120 frames per second with full AF/AE tracking and no viewfinder blackout, the α9 III is perfect for capturing decisive moments in sports, wildlife, and other fast-paced settings. Its advanced AI processing ensures precise subject recognition, making it a valuable tool for photographers who demand accuracy.
1/80,000-Second Max Shutter Speed
The camera's maximum shutter speed of 1/80,000 second allows photographers to easily freeze fast-moving subjects, even in challenging conditions. Paired with compatible Sony flash units like the HVL-F60RM2 or HVL-F46RM, this camera ensures consistent illumination across the image, catering to photographers who require split-second precision, such as event photographers.
Exmor RS image sensor with global shutter system
The camera’s global shutter image sensor has 24.6 million effective pixels, delivering high resolution and distortion-free captures of fast-moving subjects. This makes it a must-have for action photographers, including those who shoot motorsports or high-speed events.
BIONZ XR™ image processing engine boosts overall processing speed by up to 8x
The BIONZ XR engine minimizes latency and enhances image processing with up to eight times more processing power than previous models. The high volume of data generated can be processed in real time, even while shooting continuous bursts at up to 120 fps to significantly improves image quality. The camera can also capture high-quality 14-bit RAW images in all still shooting modes.
Composite RAW Shooting
Photographers who shoot wildlife, portraits in low light, or high ISO settings will appreciate the Composite RAW Shooting feature, which reduces noise and produces high-quality images with low noise. Composite RAW Shooting captures multiple images (4, 8, 16, or 32, selectable) which can then be merged using Sony’s Imaging Edge Desktop™ computer application software. When shooting at low sensitivity levels, the α9 III can use Composite RAW to create images with reduced false color and jaggies.
Advanced 5-axis image stabilization
For handheld shooting, the α9 III is equipped with advanced image stabilization technology, offering 8 steps of stabilization. This is further supported by compatible lenses with built-in image stabilization and improved communication between the camera and lenses. This feature is crucial for photographers who require sharp, blur-free shots, even when using telephoto focal lengths.
Blackout-free shooting for uninterrupted view during fast-paced shooting
Experience uninterrupted viewing through the blackout-free viewfinder, even during fast-paced continuous shooting. This is essential for sports photographers and wildlife photographers who need to follow subjects without interruptions.
High-Speed AF/AE Tracking
The α9 III's high-speed image sensor enables up to 120 AF/AE tracking calculations per second, twice the rate of its predecessor. AF tracks complex subject motions and predicts sudden movements with greater precision than ever before, while AE easily responds to sudden brightness variations.
Pre-Capture Moments
PPre-Capture records moments that occur before the shutter release, making it easier to capture split-second events. This is valuable for photographers who capture fleeting moments, like birds in flight, even when the shutter release is slightly delayed. Settable from 0.005 to 1 second, it’s available in any file format up to 120 fps with full AF/AE tracking.
Continuous Shooting Speed Boost
The Continuous Shooting Speed Boost temporarily increases the shooting speed during burst shooting, ensuring you capture all the fast-paced action. This is advantageous for sports photographers and those covering high-speed activities with predictably timed moments.
Real-time Recognition AF
The α9 III's innovative AI processing unit accurately identifies and tracks subjects, even when faces or eyes are obscured. This feature is essential for photographers who need to lock onto and track subjects facing away from the camera or with partially covered faces. It's ideal for portrait and street photographers who encounter various shooting scenarios.
