By the way, the Sony A7S III also stands out as the first consumer camera to support the new high-speed CFexpress Type A memory cards. The physical design of the a7S III is very similar to the a7R IV (including the build quality and the presence of a stabilizer inside the case), however, there are some notable exceptions. For example, the electronic viewfinder has the highest resolution we’ve seen so far, with a resolution of 9.44 million dots. It’s also huge and offers 0.91x magnification.

In addition, this is the first Sony Alpha series camera to feature a fully rotatable LCD display, and almost all parameters can be changed using touch input (finally). The menu system has been improved to make it easier to navigate. The camera is equipped with a full-size HDMI port, headphone and microphone jacks, dual-band Wi-Fi module, USB Power Delivery support. It has two slots for dual memory cards, both of which can operate with or SD CFexpress Type-A.

Among the mass of video capabilities, one can distinguish recording in 10-bit 4: 2: 2 format with compression in H.264 or H.265 formats, the ability to output in 16-bit RAW format at up to 60 frames / s, support for S-Log2 / 3 and HLG. The a7S III does not support DCI or Super 35. Sony is promising to release the A7S III in late September for $ 3499 in the US market.
