Image
ony just unveiled its next big body. The third-generation  a7 III  brings a much-needed update to the more reasonable-resolution a7 line. Here are all the specs and everything you need to know about this new 4K mirrorless beast. That's right. The a7 III brings 4K to a body with a very well balanced pixel-count-to-sensor-size ratio.

UPDATE: The a7 III is now available for pre-order for $1,998. Specifications 24 MP BSI full-frame sensor, 14-bit raw output New image processor promises 1.5-stop improvement 4K HDR video oversampled from 6K full pixel readout at up to 30 fps in S-Log2...
