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.
