Jake Sloan review of the Sony A9III will likely convince you to preorder the camera!

Share

On top you can watch Jake Sloan Sony A9III review. There are a couple of interesting takeaways:

1) Impressive stabilization:
The 8 stops image stabilization on the Sony A9III and the 600mm GM can be used handheld and still take sharp images! Click on images to see it:

2) No more artifacts!
Everything is straight and distortion free. Like those helicopter blades:

3) Image Quality:
Dynamic range in practice same as on the Sony A1. The difference is negligible and with a little bit of post production you can get it on par with the Sony A1. Noise doesn’t seem to degrade the image (Click on it):

There are many more points he makes in the video and at the end he says he is going to sell his Sony A1 and buy the new A9III.
