The α9 III will be released for the 2024 summer olympic game. It has 25 megapixels, same AE/AF performance as α1, but supports 30fps 14-bit lossless compression RAW continuous shooting with crazy large buffer. And the the anti-distortion electronic shutter with flash sync is up to 1/400 sec (500fps sensor readout speed), the EVF resolution is lower to achieve full-time 240fps live-view.
