Sony A9III will be priced around 4.500 Euro/Dollars

Share

On November 8 Sony will have a major event. Very likely we are getting a new 30mm GM lens. But there is also a fair chance they might announce the A9III. from my trusted sources I know this camera was scheduled to be launched in the November 2023-January 2024 timeframe. One of my sources already saw the camera and told me it’s super fast. He also said that when he asked about the pricing Sony said that it will be priced in the mid $4,000.

The source didn’t want to share the specs yet as he is one of the few knowing them. So I am waiting til more people gets some A9III info before to post the final specs. To recap:

  • 300mm f/2.8 GM will be announced on November 8
  • Fair chance the A9III might be announced too (Specs: New stacked sensor with increased resolution, fastest AF and fastest FPS on any FF camera to date)
  • Maybe new A1 firmware update coming too

WHAT WILL SONY ANNOUNCE?

We are likely getting the 300mm GM and maybe the new A9III. But knowing that Full Frame A7 Alpha cameras were announced exactly 10 years ago…Sony might surprises us with something else too?


I hope Sony will announce:
