The Ultimate A9

I've been a fan of the A9 series since the first one came out. Every time there is an upgrade, I wonder "what could they possibly do better?". Well, the A9iii is, in my opinion, the ultimate A9 series camera. The AF is even better than the previous models. The global shutter removes whatever vestiges of sync problems may have existed and the colors are incredible. I have no notes.

Opportunities exploring flash & speedy photography

Implementing 120 photos per second, pre-capturing, AI tracking, all shutter speed flash sync, and flexibility to define function keys helped me to improve the successful rate for nature and macro photography. It was a lot of fun testing the ability to capture subtle moments of birds and using high shutter speed to take flower photos under windy situations with flash. The results were highly acceptable because I didn't do cropping.

Terrific sports lens, but not selling the A1.

I shoot wildlife, travel and some sports. I bought this while my A1 was broken do to a drop. (It was eventually replaced by Extend) I shot a professional soccer match with it, and it performed superbly. Action was captured on the first try, colors were great and LED flicker was not problem at night. Best tool for this use, and also terrific with fill flash, since any shutter speed will work in the Global Shutter. Now the reason why this will not be my Goto body. First, 24mp is just not enough resolution for songbirds, small animals and any other application where you need to crop. APS-C modes which work nicely on the A1 or A7R V are almost useless. The noise levels are also higher than you would expect with that resolution. It is nothing like the low-light capabilities of the 24mp A7III. Second, the continuous shutter is so fast that it takes some getting used to. Even limited in the settings, it is faster than anything you have ever held in your hands. It is very easy to blow through thousands, even tens of thousands of shots in a single shoot if you don't have a light touch on the shutter button and throttle back the high setting in the setup menu. Low continuous shooting is in the range of the fastest DSLR and with the High+, you are essentially taking a video in a slow motion setting. Pre-capture extends this even more. This can be a cool capability, but I never seem to come back from a shoot with less than 2,000 shots and from a sporting with less than 8,000. This means lots of time in post processing for not much difference in those frames. All in all, it is an awesome tool, but it needs to be used with caution. I don't see it being the body I grab first for anything but sports. I am looking forward to an updated A1 with this focus system. It would be the ultimate birding/wildlife tool.

My experience with the A9III

The 7 day Sony Loaner Program is what pushed me over the edge. I bought the camera over a month ago and have been enjoying the new features almost every day since.

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 recognition. Long time ago I started a petition for Sony to add a pre-shooting buffer to the A1, which of course was ignored but I'm happy to see this feature on the A9 III. It definitely helps to capture more cool moments while shooting sports. Another thing where this camera shines is VIDEO. Thanks to GS, panning looks out of this world. 8 stop IBIS + digital produce footage comparable to Steadicam in smoothness. Overall I'm very happy with this camera, and looking forward to seeing other GS powered cameras from Sony, hopefully with more megapixels for better details. Thanks!

Sony a9iii Review

This camera is unbelievable for sports/action. I got shots I never believed were possible. Whether you are a professional sports photographer or a passionate amateur who wants amazing photos of your kids playing sports, the 120 FPS really opens up possibilities that no other camera can compare to. I also really enjoy the pre-capture feature. It makes getting the right shots a breeze because you just have to wait for the action to happen and then start clicking--knowing you will be capturing all the action you need. Highly recommended and worth the money.

Super camera,

Im a disabled photography so I really love Sony cameras due to the customisable aspect. This camera body has a better shutter button position than my Sony A1. The tracking is really fast and it catches the body or eye a lot quicker than the Sony A1 So far this came is perfect. You can still crop lots on your photos. The A1 is the one to get if you enlarge your photos or mega crop, if not this camera will suit every need
