Sony Unveils A9 III, World's Fastest Full-Frame Camera with Global Stacked Sensor; Pre-order Begins November 8, Shipping Spring 2024

Revolutionary Global Shutter Eliminates Distortion, Captures Photos Pre-Shutter Press, and Boosts Low-Light Sensitivity, Bundled in a $6,000 Body Set to Ship in Spring 2024

• Sony's Alpha A9 III, a pro-oriented mirrorless camera, is the first full-frame camera with a global stacked sensor, allowing for high-speed shooting up to 120fps without blackout and shutter speeds up to a 1/80,000th of a second.
• The global shutter negates the need for a physical shutter, allowing 14-bit RAW bursts at full resolution with a 1.6-second buffer. This aids in capturing fast-moving subjects with no distortion as every pixel is exposed simultaneously.
• The A9 III includes a Pre-Capture feature that captures up to 120 images in the second before the shutter button is fully pressed, increasing the chances of capturing the perfect shot.
• Notable features for video include the support for 4K 120p video with no cropping or rolling shutter distortion, 4K 60p with 6K oversampling, and 10-bit recording with S-Log3 capture in all video modes.
• The Sony A9 III, which has an ISO range of 250-25600 expandable to ISO 125–51200, can be pre-ordered starting November 8, 2023 for $6,000, with shipping expected to begin in Spring 2024.
