Sony a9 vs sony a7r iii?

The Sony a7R III is the detail camera. With 42.4 megapixels, it suits landscapes, studio work, and anything you'll crop hard. It was announced in 2017, and from 2021 there's also the a7R IIIA, with a sharper rear screen.

The Sony a9 is the speed camera. It has 24.2 megapixels and a stacked sensor built for fast action, and it's now a used bargain. Pick it for sport or wildlife, and accept less resolution in return.

Both are full frame, use Sony E mount, and have in-body stabilisation, so the lens choice is the same. For an all-rounder, try the Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM II. For reach on moving subjects, the Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS II is a strong pick.

If fast action is the priority and you'd like the newest option, look at the Sony a9 III, the first full-frame camera with a global shutter.
