The Sony a9 III<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0camera is expected\u00a0to adopt the 50-megapixel multi-layer CMOS sensor from the\u00a0<\/span>Sony \u03b11<\/span>\u00a0camera .\u00a0Note that this rumor is not the first, they began to appear 2 years ago.\u00a0But now it has become more relevant, as the company needs to introduce a camera that is a direct competitor to the new\u00a0<\/span>Nikon Z 8<\/span>\u00a0.<\/span><\/p>\n

Engineers also cannot install this sensor in the Sony \u03b17 V camera, as it is a semi-professional grade camera.\u00a0They also cannot improve the performance of the Sony \u03b17R series camera, since the resolution has already exceeded 60 megapixels, which limits the processing power.\u00a0So now there are two options left: either radically upgrade the Sony \u03b19 series with the same basic specifications as the Sony Alpha A1 and bring it to market.<\/span><\/p>\n

The other option, which is not as good, is to introduce a new line of cameras that will compete with the Z 8. So it makes more sense for Sony to go with the A9 III variant, and here is a possible set of specs we might see in a future camera:<\/span><\/p>\n
