Needs quicker method of deleting images in camera
I ordered my a9iii when it was initially released and have been mostly happy with it, especially the 120fps which I use as my default for sports shooting - I actually have the boost button set to LOWER the speed to 5fps for the rare times when I don't want the full 120fps!
My one major issue with the camera is how time-consuming it is to delete images in camera, even after the recent 4.00 firmware update. If I've shot a burst of several dozen images, I want to be able to quickly scroll through them to tag the small number of keepers then quickly delete the rest and get back to shooting the action. The least worst workaround I've been able to come up with is to protect the images I want to keep then exit back to the grouped view then press the delete button to "Delete All in This Grp" but this still takes four button presses.
There is an option to delete "All Other Than This Img." but it's only available in the menu structure and takes at least seven button presses to perform so is even slower.
For such a fast shooting camera, a much faster workflow is required. My ideal solution would allow all the unprotected and/or unrated images in a group to be deleted with a single press of a programmable button, even if the current image being viewed is protected or rated. If this feature could be added in a future firmware update, if would be a huge time-saver for sports shooters.

My experience with the A9III
The 7 day Sony Loaner Program is what pushed me over the edge. I bought the camera over a month ago and have been enjoying the new features almost every day since.

Opportunities exploring flash & speedy photography
Implementing 120 photos per second, pre-capturing, AI tracking, all shutter speed flash sync, and flexibility to define function keys helped me to improve the successful rate for nature and macro photography.
It was a lot of fun testing the ability to capture subtle moments of birds and using high shutter speed to take flower photos under windy situations with flash. The results were highly acceptable because I didn't do cropping.

Amazing camera! Low light not a issue as I feared.

Exceptional
I got this camera to complement my A1 but ended up completely replacing the A1. The main reason for purchase is virtually unlimited x-sync that allows me to shoot all sorts of action with strobes in bright daylight. I can get 30 fps shot at 1/12800s fully synced with my Godox strobes (no HSS!) easily with this camera. If you think about it - 30 fps is basically a movie! This is just mind blowing.
Auto-focus is great, it's more reliable compared to the A1 thanks to the more advanced ML image recognition.
Long time ago I started a petition for Sony to add a pre-shooting buffer to the A1, which of course was ignored but I'm happy to see this feature on the A9 III. It definitely helps to capture more cool moments while shooting sports.
Another thing where this camera shines is VIDEO. Thanks to GS, panning looks out of this world. 8 stop IBIS + digital produce footage comparable to Steadicam in smoothness.
Overall I'm very happy with this camera, and looking forward to seeing other GS powered cameras from Sony, hopefully with more megapixels for better details. Thanks!

Super camera,
Im a disabled photography so I really love Sony cameras due to the customisable aspect. This camera body has a better shutter button position than my Sony A1.
The tracking is really fast and it catches the body or eye a lot quicker than the Sony A1
So far this came is perfect. You can still crop lots on your photos.
The A1 is the one to get if you enlarge your photos or mega crop, if not this camera will suit every need
