Pros: impressive responsiveness and speed, viewfinder and JPEG among the most beautiful ever (all shared with the A1) Improved ergonomics Unique performance

Cons: Maximum performance, which is its peculiarities, is available with limitations. Battery life not great. Complex and infinite menus, written in an unspeakable way as per Sony tradition. It needs to be studied and set up more carefully than all the previous ones

Opinion: Personally I think that the A9iii is the most performing camera on the market but at the same time also a commercial operation of strength, a bit "forced", by Sony. In the sense that it is undoubtedly the most powerful and high-performance camera, but few really need it. The global shutter allows full use of the electronic shutter without apparent limitations, with consequent benefits in the use of flash, banding reduction and rolling shutter. If we add to this the further improved ergonomics compared to the A1, with a slightly deeper grip, an inclined shutter button more within reach of the index finger and a customizable front button (finally), and last, but not least, the pre-shot up to 1 second (finally), the result is the most suitable mirrorless camera ever to face sporting and dynamic events, and photographic hunting. Compared to the A1 I found it very different, in common they have only the incredible responsiveness of the joystick and the shutter button. The A1 is a "spartan" camera (pass me the term), brutal, a sniper, without frills, which goes straight to the point, that is, to the target, regardless of the AF area used and the recognition of the subject. The A9iii, on the other hand, is more complex, more specialized,.. To work at its best and make a difference requires a greater understanding of the functions and precise adjustment of all settings. On paper both have the same viewfinder, but that of the A9iii adjusted to maximum brightness is brighter (a detail useful more than anything else for the record ..) The JPEGs, both very beautiful, are different, that of the A9iii can seem more natural, sometimes perhaps a little too much tending to "green / yellow", those of the A1 are more "crunchy". In general I would prefer the A1 during the day and the A9iii in the evening. When you exaggerate with performance then you must necessarily give up the flank in other respects. Unfortunately, nowadays the blanket is still short. If you introduce phenomenal innovations, you can only do it with limitations and/or "small" side effects. In the specific case of the A9iii it was in fact necessary to give something in terms of image quality: 1 stop of disadvantage on the ISO tightness compared to the best FF from 24mpx (half compared to the bigmpx) visible from 6400iso upwards, and 1 stop and a half in dynamic range, at basic ISO, compared to the best FF from 24/50 mpx. Personally, although this greater noise is undeniably visible, especially on monitors, I find this decline in image quality practically insignificant. Indeed, in my specific case, it also makes me smile a little the general discontent that has infected the Sony users themselves, both the fanboys of the various forums who obviously did not buy it, as slaves of 100% monitor vision and billions of mpx, and the same professionals (perhaps those a little more "unsatisfactory") who prefer the A1 because of the cleaner file at high ISO. The reason why I smile is simple... I shoot out of habit (and obviously because I feel good) mainly with a micro 4/3, which with good lenses (at least F4 during the day, and at least F2.8 in the evening) brings home any work with results absolutely indistinguishable from FF in terms of publications on the internet, magazines, newspapers, social networks, press releases, normal prints, etc etc. You will then imagine what incredible difficulty I could have, in terms of image quality, shooting with the A9iii and the 400 2.8 or the 70-200 2.8 or the 135 1.8 etc etc .... ; ) But I evidently have no interest in viewing on a monitor (or rather for judging on a monitor) at 100/200% and I have no need to have 45/61 mpx to do photographic hunting nor to do sports photography, an area where all those mpx are absolutely useless.

Pros: Global shutter = definitely FINISHED the "rolling shutter", which leads, among other things, to the "diagonalization" of vertical lines on horizontal panning and also goodbye banding. Improved ergonomics with dials that are perhaps a little soft, but customizable on the 3 fundamental parameters; display and buttons in general. Sensor protection and viewfinder which is really excellent. Connectivity at the highest level for the sports photographer. Spectacular AF-C: to be clearer the tracking is striking, but even more so if you lose the subject for a moment if you repoint it takes it suddenly (I emphasize that in my opinion it is superior to sony a1 ... Scary responsiveness! It may happen that some images are out of focus, but the percentage of the perfect ones is crazy; Undoubtedly the best "medium" I've ever tried). All parameter wheels have a perceptible and precise click feed: in addition to emitting a clearer and more audible "click", they also transmit the change under the gloves. Rear screen and viewfinder at the highest specifications that can be demanded today. Although I'm not an expert in 4K 120 fsec video (I emphasize without crop) it's a lot of stuff. Old battery ok but in my opinion it doesn't consume very much. Compensation of breathing in the car. Good stabilization on the sensor up to 8 stops (and for the first time absolutely commendable)

Cons: Maybe the price... Definitely the menu (albeit a step forward vs previous generations, but more difficult and so to speak "disjointed". In addition, the menu items are abbreviated and difficult to read). Cfast express type A cards required (if you want to take advantage of the speed)

Opinion: I focus on a few aspects: a) image quality, b) noise at high ISO c) "amateur" use in the field... Image quality: in JPEG there is a clear improvement compared to the previous Sony A9 and A9 II with a less "plasticky" appearance, especially if you "squeeze" the ISO; if you shoot in RAW there is almost a noticeable stop against the previous cameras (in the sense that the RAW file of sony a9III has more noise, but believe me much better than what has been said...). Also for the dynamic range in my opinion there is almost a stop of difference ... In field use the sony a9III has a RAW file that is really easy to work with both colorimetry and fine detail, at least up to ISO 6400 so there is ample space for use (you can go even higher but I'm not used to going further); the ISO invariance of the sensor is good (even if there is a change on magenta); The recovery on shadows is at least up to 4 stops and a little less on highlights than about 1.5 stops above. The global shutter changes everything and makes the camera very fast in shooting and with precise response to the pitfalls of impulse lights ... The downside is that being a machine with an "imposing" burst you find yourself with cards "honestly" too loaded with the same images (I use it in nature and I have reduced the burst as often as possible). Frankly, there is no comparison in terms of AF-C performance with the Sony A9II (much more responsive, precise and faster than the A9III). The A9 III can also be set to start capturing up to 1 second before pressing the shutter button: a kind of pre-recording that allows you to go back in time and reset the problem of reaction time on sudden and unpredictable events and this can be of great help in wild shots, especially in flight. As in all cars with electronic shutter, the A9 III does not have a real clicking noise nor any mechanical feedback and this in my opinion is not a lack. A "precise" feeling of mine after a recent trip to Canada in the cold is that the balance with sony 400 mm f/2.8 lens handheld and with gloves seems to me the best ever (for the ergonomics of the camera body and the more protruding buttons) ... At present it is very difficult, at least for me, to give a definitive opinion on the purchase ... I definitely got it based on the monkey that came to me for the Global Shutter, but I'm not "bubble" yet... a first conclusion is NOT consider the burst, but the speed and absolute accuracy of the AF-C ... for a sports photographer it's the TOP!

Pros: Apparently everything

Cons: Maybe the battery life; Laughable problem

Opinion: Finally Sony realizes that the "micro supermegapixels" can be replaced by the normal 24 megapixels with excellent results. If we discuss this, then we have to turn to something different. The Sony A9 III can represent a real evolution for all those looking for the best in a photographic equipment, offering a system that combines a very high speed with precision and flexibility for photography and video.

Pros: FEROCIOUS af, goodbye fliker, non-existent shutter wear, improved ergonomics and so many others that it would take a month to list.

Cons: Battery life compared to previous cameras, 1/80000sec in single shot only and as low as 1.8

Opinion: I received my sony a9III on January 27th, but since this is a "dead" month for the ceremonial sector, I have not yet had the opportunity to test it for weddings and obviously these first impressions of mine will be followed by others more in-depth as soon as the season starts towards the end of April, beginning of May. I've been with sony for 10 years now, I started with the very first sony a7 and then went directly to the a9 (taken on day one), it was really a revolutionary camera! From that moment I decided that I could no longer do without a camera like that, the first a9 accompanied me for 4 and a half years, then I switched to the a9II which was a really good step forward compared to the already exceptional a9 and finally as soon as I knew that the 3 with global shutter would come out I couldn't help but take it... Then I had over time the a7III and currently the a7r3 as a second body. Going back to the a9III I confess that at the beginning the iso specifications and image quality scared me a bit but once I had it in my hands I must say that I completely changed my opinion, the camera is exceptional and far exceeds my expectations. The camera body is clearly improved, the grip is more comfortable than the previous cameras and gives a feeling of greater solidity, the monitor is finally up to expectations, I think the best out there in terms of ease of use. The introduction of the c5 key was very welcome! It took me a while to customize everything coming from the old menus but it wasn't difficult and I have to say that I prefer this current one to the predecessor. As for the autofocus I have to say that I was impressed, when you think that with the last camera they have outdone themselves here they leave you speechless again... I have defined the af of this camera as "FEROCIOUS", it is precise, it does not hesitate, it shows no signs of fatigue under stress, practically infallible. A really positive thing that they finally improved is the tracking on the eyes, I have to be honest in the previous rooms it didn't make me crazy, sometimes and too often it lost the subject against the light or if the face was partially covered or from behind (and for me who do weddings it was a big problem), now instead it's perfect, He doesn't miss a beat and even with subjects cut or with his back to the back he never misses a beat! Basically, let's say that as far as the af is concerned, I'm fully satisfied. Regarding the quality of the files I can express a more than positive opinion, I did not find any deterioration compared to a9II as someone said, on the contrary! I noticed with great pleasure that the jpegs are wonderful, really bright and ready to use (I shoot mainly in raw). As for the raws, on the other hand, I find them much more malleable in terms of "workability", post-production is easier for me and I like this. Doing some tests at high iso I didn't find big differences with the a9II, I find them substantially similar and I have nothing to complain about. The choice to introduce the global shutter solved a big problem for me, the infamous fliker. Despite the excellent mechanism of a9II and other cameras to eliminate (at least partially) the problem, this solves everything upstream and therefore I will not have to worry anymore (finally!). I will be able to shoot safely in any situation and above all I will not have a shutter consumption as on the cameras produced so far. At this point I have a question, having the shutter that reaches 1/80000sec is an extraordinary thing, especially if we think of shooting wide open in full sunlight in July for example, now I wonder, why the camera to exceed 1/16000sec must be in single shot and at f1.8? I sincerely hope that this limit will be bypassed with an update!
