Dpreview added the A7III images to their studio scene database and writes:

Our studio scene suggests* that, if the a7 III has an anti aliasing filter, it’s extremely weak, designed to only filter excessively high frequency detail in the horizontal axis. It’ll be interesting to see what effect this has in the real world.

There are plenty of new A7rIII tests:
