- A9III for wildlife photography . Well is the A9III the best Sony Camera for wildlife. Well here on "Camilla & I" we have gone all in and traded in our trusted Sony A1 for a brand new high tech A9III . I certainly don't recommend this course for everyone especially if you own the Sony A1.
But we are exploring the 24.6mp in the A9III with key features of up to 120fps and precapture .

Some lovely shots, Mark. Always nice to see yellowhammers.
Thank you very much Ludwig 🙂
Well done for getting out Mark, we have had a lot of dull days this year that's for sure.
Blimey. I am starting to think it's Geo engineering . Three months of rain and no Summer to speak of so far 😢
@@CamillaI Yeah absolutely right, I think we're due some dry weather that's for sure!
Thanks for the video Mark, nice to see someone actually using the gear on a typical day out walking around. The crops and noise looked pretty good on your pictures, and pre-capture pics are always cool.
I agree. It's great to see Mark going out there, using his gear and reporting back to us, irrespective of any A1 v A9iii issues. Let's face it, they are both great cameras.
Glad you enjoyed it the A9 III is continuing to surprise me 🙂
I would have preferred a 400mm F4 lens instead of the 300mm, allowing you to get 800mm F8 with a 2x converter. I'm sure they could make it a similar size and weight. Sony were missing a 300mm prime so I guess they had to make it
Yes even a cheaper 400mm f5.6 would have been a good entry level lens 👍
Personally, and just my opinion, I would have stayed with the A1 and waited for the upgrade.
We all need to crop more times than not, so pixels are a wildlife photographer’s friend.
That said, the A9iii is an amazing bit of kit.
I think only A1 mark II will handle high megapixels with global shutter in RAW. For now, I can see if the camera is above 24 mpx, it has only jpeg format (Nikon, Canon). Only cameras with RAW are Olympus, Panasonic (both M43), and Sony (24 mpx fullframe)
I could have waited for the A1 mark 2 but I am surprised how good the A9III is mainly in the AF and precapture areas. I did not expect to get so many keepers with the reduced resolution 🤔
Super interesting and lovely birds. The Yellowhammer was a treat.
Have the A1 and just got the Sony 300mm (feeling a bit faint but we live only once) so seeing the A9iii in action with someone who so enjoys birding is great. Not a trade I'll make I think, though I enjoyed my A9 for a long time before I got the A1 a couple of years ago...am glad to see the real world version of life with the A9iii in action though!
What plate have you got your PD strap attached to?
Well thanks very much, on to Dragonflies today. The Peak Design plate is the standard bottom camera mount I think it comes with the Elite & Slide straps . It fits well with the speed gimbal ball head 🤔
Great video, thank you! Went out this morning at 4.15am and photographed some newly fledged Marsh Harriers (been watching them/the nest for months from afar. Happy I was not disturbing them as they are Schedule 1 species) and so glad I had my trusty Sony A1 and a 200-600 handheld. Difficult shooting with dark birds and dark backgrounds, but no problems with autofocus at 30fps. Close flight shots but still needed cropping...would have been devastated if I had used a lower pixel camera in this instance. Jury still out on the A9iii, for me, at least. Worth checking out Arash Hazeghi's video on the Sony A1 v A9iii for bird in flight photography, he's done some great work in the past.
Nice subject the Marsh Harrier. The A9III autofocus is certainly better on the dark background shots. I had a Buzzard Yesterday fly from a branch through a variety of backgrounds all in focus with the A9III, the A1 would have lost focus in the messy foliage ! Thanks for the info on Arash Hazeghi 👍
@@CamillaI I have given up resisting, my A9iii arrives tomorrow. Primarily purchased for insects in flight, can't stand rolling shutter anymore on my OM-1.
@@RichardBedford-p3q Awesome. I am just working on a video of photographing Butterflies with the A9III hopefully out this Sunday
Great video! How does the your tripod hold up when using the fe600mm f4. Thanks
It is a great tripod a series 3 Sirui I also have the 5 Series Sirui legs, but favour these for compromise lightness and ease of use 👌
Form what I have read all new cameras with global shutter are going to be around the 25 mp mark.
Yes I have seen that too. I don't think the A1 mark 2 will have a Global shutter 🤔
@@CamillaI Good point. I personally do not need a global shutter for my BIF photography. The A1 has little, if no rolling shutter and it's blackout free basically. The other benefits of a global shutter, including flash sync speed do not apply to me either. I do think that the global shutter currently comes at a cost to image quality, making a 24 mp camera appear to be worse than a non-global shutter 50mp camera - see Steve Perry's observations on the A9iii.
@@RichardBedford-p3q The A9III is not for everyone, you have to weigh if the technical superiority is worth the Megapixel hit ! 🤔
