I am solely taking care of my 98 yr. old mother who has some medical issues, and I haven't had the time to get out and use my A9III yet, mom's care comes first. When I do, I will surely post some images, probably some with the newly released Laowa 10mm f2.8 lens I have ordered.
Sorry to hear about your challenges.
Nobody else here is likely to meet my challenge to post an image "that other cameras just can't."
Nothing we can see on Facebook is going to do that either since their posted resolution is a tiny fraction of 24MP they aren't a good source either.
And Yodobashi means nothing over here. B&H and Adorama also a big dealers. Do you suppose they will reveal how well the A7 III is selling?
A lot more Fords and Chevys are sold than Cadillacs and Lincolns. Volume means nothing without context.

Look again. One of them is still available.

Exactly, and grey market folks like Abe's of Maine have it for less than list, as expected.
They'll probably take the shutter out and sell it separately as an accessory.

It keeps going back and forth to " temporarily out of stock", depending where and when you search. That should tell you they are selling well.
I have talked with the dealers at the two biggest camera stores in the USA and they are selling well, better than expected, and still at list price at B&H and Adorama.
Be my guest to call Adorama and B&H, or Allen's Camera and ask for yourself, rather than make claims they aren't selling. While you are at it, call Yodobashi or any of the top camera dealers in Japan and check how they are selling in Japan also.
Open box, marketing copies, test copies are all used copies, and will sell for less than list, as will grey market copies. And as BillNikon said, Nothing new about that.
If you truly understood what global shutters sensors can do, that you cant do with other stacked sensors and BSI sensors, you would understand all the shots that global shutter cameras will be able to make that the other current rolling sensor shutters can't . Do yourself a favor and study up.

Here is the first report: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcf9X7a9stE
Likely the same global shutter sensor as in the Sony A9III. Nikon and Sony have a long history of business relationships, so this isn't surprising to me.
Cheers and best to you all.

You are the one who doesn't seem to know the difference. I had to explain the rolling shutter to you!
I understand the difference between global, electronic and mechanical shutters better than you do. I have encountered the rolling shutter issue only a couple of times in a half century and it was not a tragedy.
As for researching the progress of sales figures, I could not care less. People will spend their money wherever they want to.
I'm just waiting to see someone, anyone, show me an image that they took with the A9 III that I could not have captured with an A7 III using the same lens. I can certainly do the opposite.
Don't get me wrong. The global shutter is a better solution going forward. It's just that it has some technical limitation that need to be resolved.

What’s Old is New will put some of the hype in perspective. The author suggests that a global shutter might provide benefits to less than 1% of the market.
With reference to the A9 III: ... notice all of the qualifiers for the “world’s first” designation? Specifically, full frame and stacked CMOS global shutter.

Could be another rendition of the D2H 8fps compaired to the D2 4fps?

Yeah and 4MP vs the D2x 12MP. The Z9h may be 24MP vs Z9 45MP.

I think you're right on the money or should I say megapixel. Cheers.

I think you're right too.
The D2H is 4MP and 9fps and the D2X is 12MP and 5fps. It doesn't seem a good trade off for speed vs resolution. So the Z9H is also a high speed camera with lower resolution than the Z9. When a still camera frame rate is higher than a motion picture frame rate well I won't be there.

24MP is an ideal resolution. All we need is an appropriate focal length to avoid cropping the result any more than it takes to level an image. All of my prime lenses are between 24mm and 135mm. My only zoom is 150-600mm.
My Z7 raw files are really big. The extra resolution is wasted on a print or an image to be posted on the internet. But it does offer the option of an in-camera crop to 4:5 or square that makes a smaller raw file.
My 24MP A7 III is as good as the Z7 and more practical.
