Product details
The Alpha 9 III is a revolution in camera design, tailor-made for sports and wildlife photography. This latest addition to the Alpha 9 series is a ground-breaking development and features a newly developed
Exmor RS image sensor - the world's first stacked 24.6 megapixel CMOS full-frame sensor with global shutter system.
Say goodbye to distortion in fast-moving scenes and experience no viewfinder dropout while shooting still images. Shoot continuous bursts at an amazing 120 frames per second with full AF and AE tracking. The Alpha 9 III AI processing unit guarantees unrivalled subject recognition accuracy. It offers a maximum shutter speed of 1/80,000 second to freeze fast subjects and enables seamless flash synchronisation at all shutter speeds up to 1/80,000 second, eliminating the illumination fall-off problem of High-Speed Sync (HSS) and allowing you to capture challenging scenes.
Experience the power of a single image.

Overall ratingVery good94/100
The Alpha 9 Ill has what it takes to revolutionise sports photography. Thanks to the fast global shutter, the 24 MP camera can take 120 pictures per second in continuous mode, shows no distortion due to the rolling shutter effect and synchronises the flash with all shutter speeds...
Sony has shaken up the professional segment of the system camera market with the Alpha 9 III. The model is the first full-frame system camera to feature a global shutter sensor. This means that with this model, the image sensor is read out completely in one step instead of the pixels being read out line by line one after the other...

With a price range from 890 to 8000 euros, there should be something to suit almost every budget. High-resolution medium and full-frame cameras offer top performance in terms of image quality. Robust, fast and excellently equipped cameras can also be found in the APS-C and MFT range...
Our test results clearly show the advantages and disadvantages of the new technology: for the first time, extremely fast image series and videos are possible without any rolling shutter effect or problems with flickering artificial light and there are also new possibilities with flash. However, this is offset by higher image noise and a lower dynamic range...
Very good99/100
- The camera delivers distortion-free images, even of extremely fast-moving objects
- The shutter and flash sync speeds exceed all previous limits. It also breaks records for continuous shooting speed
- The great speed advantages of the global shutter come at the cost of compromises in image quality, particularly in terms of noise behaviour
- Minimal interfering pixels are already recognisable at ISO 250
Sony's concept for the A9 III is a success. It is a blazingly fast camera that specialises in high-speed motifs and transforms moving subjects into distortion-free photos just as quickly. The insane continuous shooting speeds and extreme shutter/flash sync speeds make it ideal for sports photography and all other subjects where speed is of the essence.
