Sony A7S III official: New sensor & world-first EVF tech but no 8K

Sony has revealed the eagerly-awaited Alpha 7S III, its latest mirrorless camera, though some of the company’s decisions about its capabilities may leave photographers torn. The latest in the A7 series, the camera has a new 12.1-megapixel full-frame sensor along with Sony’s new BIONZ XR image processor, but videographers may be frustrated to find that 8K video recording is absent.

Instead, the A7S III tops out at 4K 120p with 10-bit 4:2:2 color depth. That’s certainly not shabby, but it’s not quite the high-end resolution many had been hoping Sony would embrace.

At least your 4K will be flexible. Sony says the A7S III supports All-Intra and MPEG-H HEVC/H.265 coding (XAVC HS), with three color gamut options – S-Gamut, S-Gamut3, and S-Gamut3.Cine – as well.
