DXOmark released results of their Sony a9 III Sensor Tests showing minimal loss of sensitivity and image quality despite it’s global shutter.

“From a technical perspective, Sony’s rapid iteration of its cameras is truly remarkable. The introduction of the innovative global shutter sensor in the Sony a9 III offers clear advantages for action and sports photographers. This sensor is highly optimized for operational speed, enabling not just high-speed capture while also supporting autofocus (AF), auto exposure (AE), but also flash synchronization up to 1/80,000 second shutter speed. However, there is a slight trade-off in terms of image quality, with a modest reduction in color depth and dynamic range. As this primarily occurs at low ISOs, it may not be a significant concern. Even if the Sony a9 II and Canon EOS R3 remain competitive in image quality across the sensitivity range, the Sony a9 III still stands out as an impressive alternative. The global shutter sensor greatly enhances the versatility of the Sony a9 III, making it a compelling choice for fast-action photographers.”
