Sony has unveiled its new full-frame mirrorless camera, the Sony a7S Mark III. The Alpha a7S III is the successor of Sony Alpha a7S II released in 2015. Now, the a7S Mark III offers a new image sensor and a new image processing engine. Sony a7S Mark III comes with a 12.1-megapixel image sensor and BIONZ XR image processing engine.

While the new Sony camera seems to be promising for photographers, the a7S Mark III lacks features like 8K video recording. This can be disappointing for many videographers as the a7s Mark II is a video-focused mirrorless camera. Plus, Canon recently launched the EOS R5 mirrorless camera with 8K video shooting. But Sony claims that the a7S Mark III shoots 4K videos in very dark light conditions.
