I got this for a University project. Then some changes in my life meant I could not afford to get the lenses I wanted. So, I ended up shooting the project on my Nikon Z9 and existing lenses.
This camera is the US version. It has about 200 images shot on it with a friends lens. It is in mint condition. I never registered it, so you can.
Sony Alpha 9 III (ILCE-9M3), a remarkable full-frame mirrorless interchangeable lens camera:
Image Sensor and Shutter System:
- The Alpha 9 III features the world's first full-frame stacked 24.6 MP CMOS image sensor with a global shutter system. Unlike traditional rolling shutter sensors, which record images sequentially, this Exmor RS™ sensor simultaneously exposes and reads all pixels, eliminating rolling shutter distortion¹².
- The global shutter provides a near-instantaneous and simultaneous readout of all 24.6 MP, ensuring no skew or artifacts during high-speed capture.
Performance and Speed:
- Blackout-free shooting: The camera achieves 120 fps continuous shooting with full AF/AE tracking, allowing you to capture fast-moving subjects without any viewfinder blackout.
- Maximum shutter speed: The Alpha 9 III boasts an impressive maximum shutter speed of 1/80,000 second, ideal for freezing split-second moments.
- Pre-Capture Function: A unique feature that starts buffering images even before you fully press the shutter button, ensuring you don't miss critical moments.
Autofocus and Tracking:
- The camera features a 759-point phase-detect AF system with precise tracking capabilities.
- Real-time Eye AF and Animal Eye AF ensure sharp focus on subjects' eyes, whether human or animal.
- The AF system works seamlessly even in challenging conditions, such as low light or fast motion.
