Sony has announced the A9 III. This is the third version of this camera aimed at sports and action photography. It is also the first digital camera to use a global shutter. This offers some unique possibilities.

With the Sony A9 III, the camera manufacturer is also introducing the so-called global shutter. This means that the entire sensor is read out at the same time instead of line by line. This puts an end to the dreaded rolling shutter effect, among other things.

Another advantage of the global shutter is the ability to use flash at any shutter speed. You are no longer limited to the flash sync speed or high-speed flash settings.

It has also become easier to shoot very fast continuous bursts. The A9 III can shoot up to 120 frames per second with a maximum shutter speed of no less than 1/80,000th of a second. The sensor also means you no longer have to deal with flickering light from, for example, LEDs or fluorescent tubes

The Sony A9 III has a back-side illuminated sensor with 24.6 megapixels and an ISO range of 250 to 25,600. The dynamic range of the sensor is somewhat lower than that of conventional sensors.

The autofocus of the A9 III can keep up with the camera's speed. With 120 calculations per second, keeping your subject in focus should not be a problem. The viewfinder works without blackout.

Of course, the A9 III has the features you would expect from a modern mirrorless camera. Think of an IBIS system, a tilting screen and, of course, much more. Ultimately, the global shutter is what makes this camera so special.

The Sony A9 III can be pre-ordered immediately. Delivery will probably not be until 2024. The manufacturer says that the price will be approximately 7,000 euros.
