60 fps on those captures.@DavidT Beautiful rendering of the 400mm 2.8 on the 3 photographs. And perfect position of the birds in flight, thanks to the 120 fsp I imagine.
The whites of the Crested Caracara do not seem to be burned.
All this is very beautiful. Bravo
Another capture with the impressive a9III.

The only thing that troubles me is coming down from 50mp to 24mp. With wildlife you often have to crop and with 24mp it doesn't give you much room to play with.
Hasn’t been an issue but I also don’t make it a habit of doing 50% or more crops.

At this point, why not just shoot a video and pull still frames?
Please don't take my question the wrong way, I'm not trying to be facetious, and am genuinely curious. Would stills from a video give the same quality as shooting stills? In essence, 30, 60, 120FPS is video quality, right, just larger files (I don't know the answer, I'm actually asking )? There is the process of photography vs. videography, but I'm strictly talking about the end results.

As far as I know you can’t pull a video frame and have the same quality as if was shot as a still image.At this point, why not just shoot a video and pull still frames?

While this isn't wildlife some would call them birds . Hopefully it is allowed as this thread is dedicated to exploring the new Sony a9III and its advanced features including a global shutter.
Shot these last weekend using the 400GM and 600GM and the Sony a9III and a1. I have to say the airplane af mode is legit. I didn't have any issues with the a1 keeping up but the a9III is measurably faster to find and hold focus.
I am happy with some of the prop blur shots (posting one here) which I shot with the a9III, Sony 600GM and 2x Tele so I was at 1200mm and 1/125 and 1/160 shutter speed handheld.
I shared a couple of the a1 shots to compare resolution. I don't see much of a difference between the two cameras in these shots.

Kudos on a beautiful composition - the nicest Cardinal photo I've seen in a month of Sundays. Just love the flowers and context for the scene. Well done!
Did you pay the bird to pose for you?

Nice! Look forward to hear about your experience.
After using this camera I don’t know how any bird photographer wouldn’t buy this camera. Stunning results!
