Previous rumors about the A6700, A7C II, A7C R, etc. have been verified one by one with the release of new machines. Now the latest news points out that the A9 III that Sony will release next will be equipped with a new stacked CMOS and become an alpha system. The fastest camera ever.
According to foreign news, Sony released a new 44-megapixel full-frame CMOS (IMX366) in April this year, and it is reported that it will be used as a sensor on the A9 III, and Sony will launch it in November 2023. Between January 2024, the A9 III will be released to the public. In addition, the rumored specifications of the A9 III include the following:
44 million pixel full-frame CMOS with 8K 60p video recording capability and 4K 120p slow-motion video with continuous shooting at 26fps (should be a mechanical shutter)
In particular, the news pointed out that Sony will indeed equip the A9 III with a “new stacked sensor”, making it the fastest camera ever for the α system. However, some foreign netizens pointed out that it remains to be determined whether the A9 III will be equipped with the above-mentioned 44-megapixel full-frame CMOS. The main reason is that in addition to the pixels of the CMOS being too similar to the current A1, at the same time, according to Sony The official document shows that the CMOS of the film is not stacked, but back-illuminated (as shown in the picture below). Therefore, it is reasonable to speculate that perhaps the real photosensitive element that the A9 III will be equipped with is its CMOS.
