Features

  • World's First Full Frame Global Shutter: The Alpha 9 III features the worlds first full-frame image sensor with a global shutter. Unlike a rolling shutter that records images sequentially, the newly developed Exmor RS sensor exposes and reads all pixels simultaneously for capture of fast-moving subjects with absolutely no distortion.
  • The same grip hold and control layout as the 9 III for vertical orientation
  • Blackout-free, 120fps Continuous Shooting: The Alpha 9 III is defined by speed and accuracy, enabling it to capture decisive moments with ease. Its capable of shooting continuous bursts at up to 120fps with full AF/AE tracking, with no viewfinder blackout, and its AI processor recognizes subjects with astonishingly high reliability.
  • Efficient utilization of two batteries for extended shooting
  • Preserve Split-second Moments: At 1/80,000 second maximum shutter speed, the Alpha 9 III makes it easy to capture fast-moving subjects in almost any situation. Compatible flash units can synchronize at all shutter speeds, eliminating drop-off in illumination that occurs with high-speed sync and ensuring even illumination.
  • Versatile and accessible controls and useful features
  • Full-frame Backside Illuminated 24.6MP Exmor RS Image Sensor: The Alpha 9 III is equipped with 24.6 million effective pixels, a stacked CMOS architecture and integral memory. This offers high resolution, overwhelming speed, and simultaneous full-pixel readout, so even fast-moving subjects can be captured distortion-free.
  • Robust and durable internal construction
  • Evolved BIONZ XR Image Processing Engine: With up to eight times more processing power than previous versions, the BIONZ XR processing engine minimizes latency and significantly boosts processing power, resulting in higher color gradation, more realistic color reproduction and reduced image noise.
  • Part of a durable, reliable system

  • Life-changing upgrade for Sony photographers
Style: Base
I love this camera so much. I shoot a lot of performance events with quick action in dim light so I was worried I would struggle with the reportedly poor dark room performance compared to my other Sony camera bodies. It out-performs my A7r4 in every way. The autofocus and ergonomics, both of which affect every shot and every picture, are so much improved it is annoying to use any of my other cameras. ... show more

  • The #1 Camera on the Market
Style: Base
If you’re looking for the fastest camera on the market, this one is it. The auto focus and tracking is insanely fast and can keep up with any subject. Best for sports and wildlife photography. The only downfall is the low MP, but it’s a small con, because the sensor is so good images come out great after cropping with high ISO. Highly recommend updating your lens firmware before attaching to this bad boy. ... show more

  • Most powerful camera I have used
Style: Base
The primary thing I like about this incredible camera is its speed. Speed of focus, shutter speed, speed of customizing to a particular setting, all really make the camera stand out. The camera feels great in the hand, and in the time I have been using has certainly allowed me to capture shots (nature, spontaneous family portraits) that not have been possible otherwise. Yes, it's a big investment, but I feel like the results are worth it. That said, I do wish it would accept CFexpress Type B cards (it accepts Type A only, or standard SD cards), and had a lower base ISO. That said, if you are a sports or nature (birds!) photographer this camera should be at the top of your list to consider. ... show more

  • The best ever action camera!
Style: Base
This camera is not for everybody, and no camera is. However, if you want to catch those impossible action shots, here it is. Yes, 24 megapixels is lower, but you can still take great landscape pictures. You just can't crop them as much. If you want to use a flash, you can outperform any camera by not having to worry about the sync speed. My primary interest is bird photography, and especially birds in flight. The autofocus is fast and tracks amazingly well, even better than my A7 IV (which was very good). The subject recognition can be set to humans, animals, birds, insects, and more. This aids in finding and maintaining focus. Additional features are game changers: global shutter, pre-capture, and burst speed. Read the information on these above. Yes, you give up a stop in ISO performance, and you don't have the resolution, but the tradeoff is pictures you could never successfully consistently capture before. As a side note, the steady-shot function on this camera is great. I have hand-held still shots at a half second with excellent results, which allowed me to shoot at a much lower ISO. The attached photos show how pre-capture and continuous focusing easily capture otherwise difficult shots. There are way too many features to cover, but if you are excited about action shots (sports, birds, animals in motion, auto racing, etc.), then this is the camera. ... show more

  • Incredible Camera!
Style: Base
I’m primarily using this camera for video, which sounds weird for a camera sold as a sports photography beast, but it’s absolutely incredible with video. 120fps with no crop, 10 bit 4:2:2, dynamic active stabilization, 16 bit raw through HDMI, a screen that can turn to face basically whatever you want, and the best ergonomics I’ve ever felt in a camera. Overkill in some ways? Yeah. A bit lacking in iso and dynamic range? A TINY bit. But, this thing scratches every itch I have, and makes me want to take more photos to boot. 100% love this thing! ... show more
