Sony just announced the highly-anticipated successor to the a7S II. The Sony a7S III mirrorless camera features a new 12.1MP full-frame sensor with a new Bionz XR image processor. The camera can record uncropped video internally in up to 4K120p in 10-bit 4:2:2 and in Full HD in up to 240fps. There is 16-bit RAW in 4K60 externally via full-size HDMI, 5-axis IBIS, vari-angle touchscreen LCD, reworked menu, and the autofocus works in every recording mode.
