This camera is absolutely nuts. I shoot sports and wildlife and cannot recommend it enough. The 120fps is a bit over kill but as long as you use CFexpressA cards the buffer will clear quick. ZERO warp in the photo due to the global shutter. Dynamic range isn't the best but unnoticeable to me. Native ISO is 250 with photo and 2000 in slog which is a bit of a bummer but slap an ND on there if you slow the shutter down. 4k 120 footage with the global shutter <3 .
The new grip fits better than previous models. Pricey but it is an absolute workhorse.

It takes beautiful photos and even better video. The built in mic doesn't need an external mic. I thought the audio even for a concert came out very good as long as you aren't riding a speaker. The lowest 250 iso and 24mp photos for a low light room like a concert leaves too much noise of the show is too dark. The autofocus isn't as clear for low lighting but can be more crisp with some editing. I bought this camera in hope to do less time in editing and not miss a moment since I do a lot of candid action movements. It's not as expected but I'm still learning with it. I'd rather not lose $900 in a restocking fee but i wish i would have picked the a7rv instead. The camera i came from was the a7r2 and loved it but my shutter broke after 10 yrs. As i get into more video, the a9iii will be pretty worth it in visual and audio. I wish it had a slightly be better stabilizer as advertised for walking but I'll work with it. Is it worth $6k? Absolutely not. $4k? Yes. So far I've only used this a 2 different shows.

Who is this camera for? The Sony a9 III camera is a beast! It is for the dedicated photographer; as not many photographers need to photograph a speeding bullet or need a 80,000th of a second shutter speed at 120 frames per second. The a9 III has many features just about all photographers may want to avail themselves with. Once one gets a handle on the operation it's becomes more fun then a barrel of monkeys! What a beast!
