    An interesting and balanced review with a fine conclusion, Matt. It's good to hear how many different improvements Sony has lavished upon this camera, I wasn't aware of that. However, and here it comes, the first sample pictures of the Sony A9 III I saw were dpreview's, and I found especially their sports files with higher (but not super high) ISOs in difficult indoor lighting to be looking very flat with disappointingly poor colours and skin tones and quite a bit of grain and visible smear, showing what seemed to be a very noticeably poor dynamic range and perhaps also lack of resolution. Your files in good outdoor light with perhaps also better exposure (!) look better than those, however. But if this presumed sports camera cannot produce images of stunning quality especially in difficult indoor lighting, but just insane speed, I think that other current cameras like the Nikon Z9 and Z8 may remain a better choice at this point as they are fast enough to freeze any action with many more pixels to crop and noticeably better IQ in all situations. However, I'm sure that this new technology will improve as all technology does. Nikon itself actually points into this direction with its very recent acquisition of RED, now owning the rights to RED's cinematic global shutter - with its supposedly good (but again not class leading) DR and IQ.

    Hi Andrea thanks for the comment. I think you confused me with Matt Granger but it’s okay :) Showing images on pre-production cameras is always tricky. This is why some companies won’t allow it or only show JPEG as some things may not be final. I can’t comment on the process or the quality of DP Review’s photos as I haven’t seen them but from my own experience, when exposed correctly the files are similar to other 24MP images. If image quality is the most important for your work or needs there are better cameras for that. For speed this is the best thus far.

    Hey Bobby, when looking at the photos, I stopped the video to check them out and B & C cameras did well in the ISO test. Finding out after that they were Leica SL2 and Nikon Zf, didn't surprise me. I've recently been trying out DxO Photo Lab 7 and trying the different camera profiles on the Z8 RAW files, I like the look of Leica and Hasselblad profiles, more contrasty colors while cutting back on the highlights. The Panasonic and Sony had more noise at the higher ISO, which can be cleaned up but, one would have hoped for better performance straight out of camera. That being said, the Z8 has noise at that level as well, most people don't shoot at that level a lot. This makes me think more about getting a Zf. Thanks for the video.

    Hi Wayne! No problem thanks for checking out the rest more in depth. Yes the Zf held up well. The a9III does a decent job for being a global shutter sensor. Some are overly critical on it for clicks I feel because in day to day usage it’s more than adequate.

  • @FrankDiNardi

    The funniest part about all these test is that the customers who get delivered these images most likely have no clue what ISO and dynamic range is. I have worked for hundreds and hundreds of different companies, real estate agents, restaurants, you name it and this issue has been brought up not a single time ever. We critique these cameras too hard sometimes I think.

With A1 still the most expansive and highest Sony Alpha model without the A1 II insight, it would be interesting to see what features the new firmware would include to keep this model holding the title of "The One" with it's current price and how close it may be to the A9 III (yes, it will not have the feature of a global shutter.... it's a given!)

    Bobby, thanks for your open and realistic review of the A9III. I own an A9 for 6 Years, an A1 for 3 Years and now the A9III. I photograph sports, fast action and concerts. I have no issues with noise and DR. I am not a pixel peeper. I shot pictures that transport emotions. When it comes to flash photography, this camera will revolutionise flash photography. I have tested the camera with Elinchrom, Broncolor Satos and SONY HVL-60RM2. The performance of HVL-60RM2 together with the A9III, compared with very high end flashes, is simply amazing. You can shoot up to 120 Pic/sec , 1/16000, F/1.4 and ISO 250. You feel, you are in a Disco. The repetition rate of the flash is so fast. And all the pictures are tack sharp, without a single miss.

    PCIe 4.0 will be implemented on future CFExpress Type A so expect them to hit 1900MB/s. Type B will be around 3800MB/s though. I think they delayed the A1 II for this matter. Also Lexar CFExpress Type A, VPG400 rated, are dirt-cheap on AliExpress via their official store and also other stores there. The lower VPG200 rated one, like the card you showed, from Lexar is even cheaper to the point SDXC V90 makes no sense.

Great for future proofing, but not practical for current Sony cameras that are still using PCIe 3.0 lanes but it's fairly priced. Most likely the A1 II would have PCIe 4.0 and that's why it's delayed to late 2024-2025 I think.

    What sucks about the 1/16,000 limit (The A1 does 1/32,000) is that because the base ISO is 250 you can't use the 50mm 1.2 wide open in direct sunlight without an ND filter. That's pretty weak on a sports camera. You can't even use a 1.4 lens wide open in direct sun without an ND. 1.8 lenses are ok exposure-wise, but then you've got to stop them down to f2 to get 120fps. If you're planning on shooting video, you're going to have to have some strong ND filters as well because the base ISO for video is ISO2000. That much ND also negatively impacts the AF accuracy.

When the Compactflash association grade it a VPG200 thats what you pay attention to, not what a company says. Stick to Sony, Lexar, Prograde and Angelbird. They all have the VPG400 rating. Sustained write speed is the most important factor for the a9iii and clearing the buffer.

    Actually Sony’s higher capacity is VPG 200 based on my findings not 400. The lower storage cards are rated at 400. When Sony uses Gen4 cards then we will se a significant increase

    @@btonelli I’m on about the VPG400 cards… based on my comment why would I be on about the VPG200 cards when I’m specifically on about VPG400? So you’d rather use a card thats too slow for the sake of swapping out and claim the cards you use are faster when they aren’t just because the company printed some numbers on the card. Cool. Sonys are minimum 400mb/s but actually sit around 600 based on testing the exascend is advertised at 200 on their website so let’s take them at their word based on the VPG rating the Sony is minimum 2 times faster but more like 3 times faster. The amount of shots you risk losing by not being able to clear a buffer outweighs the amount of shots you risk losing by changing cards twice. Also multiple cards gives you better odds of not having a full day of shooting lost.

    @@stuartmartin093 no camera from Sony from what I’ve been told handles gen 4 yet. Perhaps the A1 mark II will or whatever camera they come up with but right now not even the A9III can support the speeds. As for my testing, I have Sony CF Express type A and Exascend type A. Both are about the same in terms of read and write speeds. Now, one thing to consider is, every test will have different results, drive, cable used, software OS etc. there is no real defacto way to test cards exactly from a consumer level that I have seen so that also must be taken into consideration

    The truth is that what might be considered acceptable is solely dependent on what a given person is regularly shooting. So there is no Hard Truth for everyone. Also, out camera IQ really hasn't improved much over the last few years. In fact, many would say for stacked sensors IQ, there has been a visible decline. So sticking solely with IQ, it's a super disappointment for a $6000 camera. So it's not really about the a9iii IQ and DR. It's really about everything else.

    True but also the a9III produces more than acceptable results for those that need speed. If one just cares about image quality, there is always medium format. I disagree it’s a disappointment for a 6K camera especially with these versatility and features it brings

    @@btonelli Only each person will decide what is or isn't acceptable. Also, by far the majority agree that out of Camera IQ is subpar. The $6000 price tag is for everything else, not the out of camera IQ. If one cares about IQ there is the Sony a7rV, so no Medium Format isn't needed. Especially considering MF limits elsewhere.

    @@natureredux1957 Isnt youtube community responsible for killing dslrs? They were so vocal about speed of mirrorless vs dslr that created a trend almost killing dslr. As of now no camera can compete with nikon d5/d6 when it comes to low light yet youtubers except Boby completely trashed that camera. For me and what I use camera for 120fps shooting has zero use but a better high iso performance can make a difference. I shoot mostly with d500 with incredible low light performance and since then nothing can beat it except single digit nikon pro body dslrs like d5/d6. I will only buy a camera which will surpass Low light performance of my current one. Capturing wildlife in night with almost always above ISO-12800, with maximum 5-10 shot burst. Give me slowest sensor readout camera with no video feature if that camera has 2 or three stops better ISO performance and take my money.

    DR is a function of noise too. Turn on NR and you get more DR. The a9 iii applies less NR than other cameras. I prefer it at lower ISOs. You should look up cineds review of this camera and then check the one done for the iPhone 15. The iPhone has “more” DR than the a9 iii.
