RUMOR: Sony A7sIII has 15 stops dynamic range, 16bit RAW output and 600mbps bitrate, 160 base ISO with S-LOG3
Three additions to the currently known specs:
600mbps bitrate
16bit RAW output
Sony claims 15 stops dynamic range
iso is still the same as previous a7s2 – 409600
Base ISO for slog 3 is 160 instead of 1600 (As7II) on the pre-production unit.
I keep receiving bits of info from different sources. Not all info may be 100% accurate because most of the sources saw prototypes and maybe they missed some parts or Sony might not have enabled the full features.
Also: I have been told Sony uses a new passive cooling system. But I sill got no confirmation if this means there is no active vent at all (it may be that it has a vent for extreme conditions only?).
