It’s good to be the king!
Sony is definitely on a roll! They’re spitting out new cameras like gum. And their new addition to the A7 gamma is a doozy! A7S mark III is their ‘entry level’ full-frame camera. They call it the basic model, but I think that was meant as a joke. Why? Main specs of the A7SIII – 24-megapixel back-illuminated sensor; 6K full sensor readout downsampled to 4K; 10fps; 693 AF points; 15-stops dynamic range; ISO 204,800 max…… Price is around 2000 dollars, and in my humble opinion, this is THE BEST all-around camera available on the market.
