Will the Sony A9III use the new 44MP stacked sensor with 8k60p and 26fps?

Share
Back in April Sony listed this new 44MP sensor. I keep receiving messages from anonymous tipster that this will be the new sensor used by the Sony A9II that is rumored ot be announced between November and January. The specs would be stunning:
  • 44MP
  • 8k60
  • 4k120p
  • 26fps
Now, trusted sources only told me that indeed the A9IIi has a “brand new stacked sensor” and that it will be Sony’s fastest Alpha camera ever made. But I am yet not sure if it’s going to use that exact 44MP sensor. Probably too close to the A don’t you think? Unless Sony’s plan is to also launch a new A1II in 2024 that has 60+MP sensor. In my video on top I do explain some reasoning and also share some curious short story about ONE source that actually saw the new A9III ;) – TO NOT MISS ANYHOT RUMORS subscribe our Newsletter and Social networks:

Sony company has been hacked again?

Share

I just got this message from Tom Ivan (reporting for VGC):

Ransomware group Ransomed[dot]vc claims to have successfully breached Sony Group and is threatening to sell a cache of data stolen from the Japanese company. While its claims remain unverified, Cyber Security Connect reports that the relative ransomware newcomer “has racked up an impressive amount of victims” since bursting onto the scene last month. “We have successfully compromissed [sic] all of sony systems,” the group claimed on both the clear and dark nets. “We won’t ransom them! We will sell the data. Due to Sony not wanting to pay. DATA IS FOR SALE.” According to Cyber Security Connect, the group has posted some proof-of-hack data, although it says this is “not particularly compelling information on the face of things.” It includes what appear to be screenshots of an internal log-in page, an internal PowerPoint presentation, several Java files, and a file tree of the leak which seemingly includes fewer than 6,000 files. Most of the Ransomed[dot]vc’s members reportedly operate out of Ukraine and Russia.

Sony was hacked back in 2011 and management was forced to apologize:

Wrong rumors on the web: Sony A9III will use 36MP Global Shutter sensor :)

Share
I keep seeing website posting this rumor I also got through my anonymous contact box. I never posted it because I am 99,9999% sure this is wrong. But people keep asking me about this because they keep finding this on other websites. So  here it is…and it’s highly likely total BS!
Below you can find the specs which are close to final. Sony is still discussing the memory size in the integrated grip with newly developed body and also can fine tune some performance spec. Has been always the case.

Sony A9 III specs

– 36Mpix Global shutter sensor with 16 bit image pipeline and 15.5+ Dynamic range (Sony resolved the issue in last 18 months with dynamic range finally)
– Improved RAW noise performance by real 1EV step with new groundbreaking chip design
– 40 fps uncompressed/lossless RAW, 40 fps compressed RAW, 50 fps with APSC crop due to Dual BionzXR+ processor, sRAW option finally developed and should be scaled down to A1 soon
– ISO from 100 to 409.600 (option to go with ISO 25 as well)
– Hybrid AF with 1440 AF points, phase sensor covering 98%
– Newly developed IBIS with 7 stop compensation when combined with specific lenses (no corner wobling like Canon, improvements made due to bigger body)
– 9.44 mp oled viewfinder with refreshrate up to 240 hz
– Improved battery life of 2000 images (Cipa) with new battery type NP-FZ200 (testers has been doing easily 3500-6000 images)
– Weather sealing for extreme conditions

ISO25 and so forth…this is NOT going to happen on the A9III :)
