What Jamie wrote

I had not heard about this new Sony Alpha9 III nor had I heard of the term "global shutter".

These things advertise that they read all the pixels off the sensor at once. So, no matter how fast your subject is moving, you’ll get an image of what it really looked like. And those flash and video problems vanish. And because circuits are faster than shutters, you can shoot at an eighty thousandth of a second.

Bray's writeup is great and this concept of a shutter so fast you effectively cannot get a blurry photo is wild. Now imagine combining this with an AI shutter that watches all 80,000 potential photo options a second and grabs the one with the specific best movement.

Cool stuff!
