PetaPixel: For Pros, The Sony a9 III’s Speed Will Be Worth the Image Quality Tradeof!

PetaPixel wanted to add some context to the findings about the small Image Quality “Penalty” you have to pay to get the amazing new features of the first Sony A9III Global shutter camera:

While other similarly priced cameras like the Sony a1 and Nikon Z9 deliver superior all-around performance and better image quality, they can’t match the a9 III’s speed, and they certainly cannot pull off the same special tricks concerning rolling shutter and flash sync. The a9 III can do some things no other can, even if the camera is not the versatile jack-of-all-trades that its $6,000 price tag suggests it might be.
Global shutter sensor technology is in its infancy for full-frame mirrorless camera systems. Sony is the first across the line, and that comes with costs — but ones that many professional photographers will be more than happy to pay.
