While it is primarily aimed at videographers
The Sony AS III is still able to shoot stills and could appeal to photographers looking for a low-light camera

Colors can look a little strange over ISO 25
600
No 6K or 8K
No internal RAW
“Only” 12 megapixels
No waveform or vectorscope
No anamorphic options
12Mp seems low resolution for stills
Uses a new memory card format (CFexpress Type A) that's interchangeable with SD
CFExpress cards required for best quality slow-motion video
Video autofocus doesn't work SLR lens adapters
No 6K or 8K video
Still images only 12MP
No waveform monitoring
Price
Relatively low sensor resolution
Summary
Sony's 12.1-megapixel A7S III was worth the five-year wait. It has the same incredible low-light capability of its predecessors
But adds much-needed features like improved stabilization
