The Sony a9 III is the company’s latest high-speed pro sports camera. It features a Stacked CMOS sensor capable of shooting at 120 fps and able to capture all its pixels’ data simultaneously: the long hoped-for ‘global’ shutter. For Sony shooters, it is unsurprising that the a9 III, like many Sony cameras before, features what Sony promises are ergonomic refinements. These are frequently such minor tweaks that they barely warrant mention. However, in the a9 III’s case, Sony has made notable improvements.
The a9 III inherits the a1’s fantastic electronic viewfinder. The OLED panel has 9.44 million dots and 0.9x magnification, therefore,making it a significant step up from the a9 II’s 3.68M dot and 0.78x magnification EVF. Additionally, thanks presumably to more processing power, a9 III delivers a 120fps EVF experience, whereas the a1 peaked at 60fps at full resolution. On the other hand, the a9 III can hit 240fps at a lower resolution, but in my experience, max res and 120fps proved optimal. The a9 III has the best EVF of any Sony camera.
