Sony A9 III announced

"Thanks to this new global shutter, the A9 III is capable of 4K 120fps video with no crop, 120fps 14-bit RAW shooting for 192 frames with real-time AF, flash sync at any shutter speed, and a max shutter speed of 1/80,000 (1/16,000 during continuous shooting)"

Global shutter looks amazing, anyone getting this camera?

Yeah its interesting, I do hope the next A1 has global shutter (very likely), it doesn't interest me 120fps, but the global shutter on a more rounded camera would be amazing.

I want that camera, 20 fps is fine, but 50mp, global shutter finally would remove flickering/banding for me at indoor events, wedding ceremonies etc.

All interesting points here - I use A9 & A73 for weddings & they do great, perhaps get an A7r5 at some point as a 'main' camera in place of the A73 assuming I can shoot it at half res RAW files (30mp or something), I do love the A9 focusing system though, even all these years later !

More details coming to light now. Seems according to some YouTube channels, while it's unlimited flash sync, if you use off camera flash like me, it's really more limited to the speed the off cam flash can do, and how long it can deliver it's power so reality is more 1/1000th (in the same way that apparently hassleblad leaf shutter eventually hits flash limits rather than the camera itself).....also iso 250 lowest setting effects flash use.

So some potential real world barriers coming up to 'unlimited flash sync'.

Still want the global shutter though! But lower iso options....maybe the A1 mk2?
