Sony Launches a7 III Camera with Major Upgrades

NEW YORK, Feb. 27, 2018 -- B&H Photo would like to share the announcement of the Sony a7 III Mirrorless Digital Camera, a notable upgrade to the company’s substantial line of full-frame cameras. Major advancements are possible due to the use of a newly developed 24.2MP Exmor R BSI CMOS sensor and BIONZ X processor with front-end LSI, which unlock numerous features and settings. With a back-illuminated design, shooters will enjoy sensitivities in an extended range of ISO 50-204800. Also, the sensor will deliver images with up to 15 stops of dynamic range with a 14-bit raw file.

Beyond just updates to the imaging system, the a7 III's body design has also been revised to include a rear 3.0" 922k-dot touchscreen LCD, which has a tilting design to better support working from high and low angles.
