Techninsights checked the inside of the Sony A9III and found out the sensor name is “IMX810AQL”. The important take away here is that this sensor is NOT listed at Sony Semicron. Which means it’s yet not available for sale to third party companies. So for now it seems Nikon and others will not have access to it.

This is how your Sony A1 feels after the firmware update containing some bugs :) Joke’s aside, I am sure Sony is working hard to fix the issues regarding wifi connections, autofocus inconsistency, battery drain. Hopefully a fix is coming within this month!
One more thing: The A9III firmware update which was originally scheduled for an April 8 launch has been postponed to end of April. But now let’s see if Sony can keep that promise or if they will delay the launch to make sure there are no bugs.
Sony manager explains in a new CineD interview how the new Sony PDT-FP1 works.

You can sign it now at Change.org. And also sign this petition from Philip Bloom where he asks Sony to make an MI shoe OLED EVF.
CineD explains why LUT support is so important:
If you own or use an FX 30, FX 3, FX 6, etc., then you can already load custom LUTs. Even some other Sony cameras offer this menu function, such as the vlogging ZV-E1 camera and the newish a7cII. Neither of the latter would be considered “Cinema” cameras by anyone. So it’s a little surprising that they would offer this functionality in some of their cameras, but not others – especially their flagship lowlight camera, the aS7III, which is used most by filmmakers.
Sony planed to start shipment on May 24. But this has now been anticipated to May 10 at BHphoto, Adorama, Amazon, FocusCamera. Additionally today Sony Japan announced that this lens will ship from April 19 in Japan (before it was May 17).
I don’t know whether Sony has anticipated the start of shipping because it has resolved some production bottlenecks it has had in recent months or whether preorders numbers are low enough to anticipate shipping.
