Review: Sony A9 III – Unprecedented Speed Like Never Before

Review

be able to use flash with a 1/80,000 second shutter speed, making it possible to capture evenly-exposed images of fast-moving subjects. This is a game-changer for pro sports photographers and the like. The Sony A9 III doesn’t just keep up with fast-moving objects, it elevates them to another level of sharpness, and all this at a resolution of 24.6 megapixels, matching professional performance mirrorless cameras, and a glorious 1/80,000 sec shutter that’s eight times the speed of the A9 II. At 120fps that amounts to more than 2,600 shots per second. It may sound like overkill, but there are scenarios where such speed could save the day for pro sports photographers. The Sony A9 III itself doesn’t intimidate, considering that a new gripping design makes it easy to carry around, but combined technologies offer never-before-seen performance that’s exciting for those who can afford it.
