PetaPixel: For Pros, The Sony a9 III’s Speed Will Be Worth the Image Quality Tradeof!

Preorders (shipment start Feb 23):
Sony A9III at BHphoto. Amazon. Adorama. FotoErhardt. Fotokoch. Calumet. WexUK.

PetaPixel wanted to add some context to the findings about the small Image Quality “Penalty” you have to pay to get the amazing new features of the first Sony A9III Global shutter camera:

While other similarly priced cameras like the Sony a1 and Nikon Z9 deliver superior all-around performance and better image quality, they can’t match the a9 III’s speed, and they certainly cannot pull off the same special tricks concerning rolling shutter and flash sync. The a9 III can do some things no other can, even if the camera is not the versatile jack-of-all-trades that its $6,000 price tag suggests it might be.
Global shutter sensor technology is in its infancy for full-frame mirrorless camera systems. Sony is the first across the line, and that comes with costs — but ones that many professional photographers will be more than happy to pay.

Photographer asks you how the heck he can remove the spider that lives inside his Sony camera EVF :)

Ties Blaaus (@bluehill_stories) is one of our Dutch readers. He contacted me and asked me for following help:

anyone knows how to get the spider out of the viewfinder? Tried to open up the front part, but it appears to be connected to the whole body… Probably the spider got there during a lens swap or something? Would be awesome to get some help here because we’re on a thruhike in New Zealand right now😅thanks!

That’s the camera affected by the spider: https://amzn.to/3RRvgB8
