This looks like quite a beast.
First commercial use of the global shutter technology.

https://www.dpreview.com/news/7271416294/sony-announces-a9-iii-world-s-first-full-frame-global-shutter-camera

Flash sync to all shutter speeds and top shutter speed 1/80000.
120fps until it fills the buffer, less than two seconds!

I can see it being that big a seller, if you can’t get the shot at 30fps then you need to take up video instead. If you shoot 2sec at 30fps you have 60 shots to look through for the one you want, if you shoot at 120fps it’s 240. If you’re on a dead line you don’t have that time.
It only being 24mp may put a lot of people off.
I’ll stick to the A1 thanks.

Not for this Sony user. I’ve already got a camera that does far more than I will ever need. No sense in buying another.

My greater instinct would be to buy something a lot simpler but with some useful features …..

Voice response menu might be good…” Sonny, locate the card format menu option”, “ Sonny, bracket ON 3x 1stop spread”, “ Sonny, where’s my **** lens cap gone?”

Good point Iain. I still find the first exposure at 30fps is often the best shot, and end up binning 29

I suppose if it came equipped with a Taser that stopped the subject moving away so fast you wouldn’t need 120fps or 1/8000 sec. ;-)

Or as a friend once joked when asked how he got the birds to stay still for the shot he said "I put super glue on the branch". Unfortunately some people thought he was serious and complained.

My D3s - D3X camera`s are Superior...Nikkors can be mounted on those.

That sensor is an Interesting item though.

The approach of a new Sony caused me to fondle my existing camera and reconfirm all the functions it offers and the ones I need ready access to on My Menu. It’s amazing what you don’t know about your camera!! Well it’s amazing what I didnt know about my camera.

I knew it had eye detection and that it could be configured for birds, humans & animals. What I didn’t know (I never got that far down the menus) is that you can register a face! Once you have registered a face (photographed) whenever you take a group shot with that person in the scene, the camera will recognise that person ……and give priority to their eyes for the focus point of the scene.

We’ll strike me down and call me Susan….the things you didn’t know you could do.

I tried it on a green woodpecker surrounded by pigeons.

It only works with Humans apparently. :thumbsdown:

But if AI could come to the camera….

You could take a stock photo of a bird species and register(store) it as the focus priority.

Then when you see that bird annoyingly flitting about in a tree…the camera would lock onto it and not get distracted by branches or any other objects or birds around it.
