I carefully checked the appearance and shutter sound of the global shutter full-frame mirrorless single-lens camera 'α9 III' that can shoot 120 images per second.
The world's first mirrorless single-lens camera equipped with a global shutter full-frame sensor, the α9 III , was released on January 26, 2024. In addition to being able to take distortion-free photos using the global shutter, the α9 III also has ultra-high-speed continuous shooting performance of 120 frames per second and 8 stops of image stabilization performance, making it possible to perfectly capture the decisive moment. Since I was able to borrow such an α9 III from Sony, I first checked the appearance, shutter sound, etc. in detail.

When holding the α9 III with FE 24-70mm F2.8 GM II attached, it looks like this. It's not particularly lightweight, but the grip is deep enough and the shutter button is located in an easy-to-press position, so it doesn't feel heavier than its specs suggest.
