Now that we've all had a chance to watch the launch and digest some of the specs that Sony finally published, here are some expanded thoughts about the brand new body from Sony. There is a lot of information that I have extrapolated from the specs and I have also had an opportunity to talk to friends of mine that were present at the launch in NYC this week. One thing to remember though, this camera is not finished yet. At the time of this writing, the A9III has firmware .8. This is a first. they will be updating it all the way to when it starts shipping next year. This is the earliest we have ever been shown a camera in the past.
Here is the Bedfords link for the camera: www.bedfords.c...

From my buddy and Sony Pro Rep David Snyder who has a bigger brain than mine:
"The dust protective curtain closes when the camera turns off, not when a lens is removed. The playback as a group is on all the cameras inc A1, not an Xperia feature. It’s not on by default in other cameras. What’s new is that it will play that burst/group as a quick video/sequential view.
You can auto focus fine at 1/80000 today. You can not shoot continuously at 1/80,000 only single frame.
1/16000 for continuous shooting. The note was firmware would likely raise the maximum continuous shutter speed.
PocketWizard may not work at the high speeds for triggering and timing maybe off.
Pre capture can be set for much less than a half second minimum. The timing goes below .1 sec to .09-.01 as well. Pre capture can be set to begin with shutter half press, or af on, or both. So users can control when pre capture starts while still using AF separately (WOW!!!)
ISO range will not change in firmware Exposure compensation dial is also on the grip, and there is a lug for a camera strap on the grip to carry the camera vertically and more accessible."
