A maker attempts to photograph bees in flight using a stereo camera setup to keep up with their speed, tackling choices around frame rate, resolution, and focal length while emphasizing the benefits of a global-shutter sensor for synchronized dual cameras to avoid rolling shutter distortions; the project explores tradeoffs and hints at future bee footage.
Sony's IMX929, a compact high-speed member of its Pregius S global shutter family, pushes around 8224×6176 (8K-class) resolution at up to about 200 fps (10-bit; ~136 fps at 12-bit) with full-sensor readout, showing that high-resolution global shutter can be achieved without sacrificing speed—primarily aimed at industrial imaging rather than cinema aesthetics.
Sony adds two smaller, faster square global shutter sensors to its lineup: the 68.16 MP IMX928 (22.5×22.5 mm) at 90 fps and the 50.79 MP IMX929 (19.9×19.9 mm) at 136 fps, with improved A/D conversion and a pin‑compatible, ceramic package aimed at industrial imaging and automation.
Sony's A9 III is the world's first mainstream camera with a global shutter, offering unprecedented speed and lack of image distortion. Priced at $6,000, it boasts fast and accurate autofocus, good stabilization, and excellent video capabilities, but suffers from reduced image quality compared to regular CMOS cameras. With its lightweight body, comfortable grip, and intuitive controls, the A9 III is a top choice for professional photographers and content creators, despite its drawbacks in image quality.
Sony has introduced the Alpha 9 III camera, featuring the world's first full-frame global shutter image sensor in a mirrorless hybrid. This sensor allows for distortion-free images and eliminates rolling shutter distortion or camera blackout when shooting fast-moving subjects. The camera also offers advanced autofocus capabilities, flash sync at high shutter speeds, and the ability to record 4K high-frame-rate video. The Alpha 9 III is primarily targeted at high-end sports and wildlife photographers and is available for pre-order at a suggested retail price of $5,999.99 USD.
Sony has announced the a9 III, the world's first full-frame ILC (interchangeable lens camera) with a global shutter image sensor. The camera offers blackout-free shooting at 120 frames per second, real-time recognition autofocus with AI processing, and flash sync at any shutter speed. It features a 24.6-megapixel CMOS image sensor, 759-point autofocus system, 4K/120p video capability, and up to eight stops of image stabilization. The a9 III will be available next spring for $5,999.
