Sony's Alpha A9 is a new flagship mirrorless camera with a 24 Megapixel full-frame stacked CMOS sensor and fully electronic shutter featuring 20fps shooting, silent vibration-free operation, anti-distortion shutter, 1/32000 shutter, 4k video, dual SD slots, bigger battery, touchscreen and AF...
The Sony a9 is more than just a refinement of the company's a7-series of full-frame mirrorless cameras; it's an evolution. With meaningful ergonomic and user interface improvements, the a9 is a polished and highly capable camera.
Sony's new camera matches Canon and Nikon's best pro DSLRs—for thousands less.
I'm a professional photographer who has used Canon my whole career. I had been eyeing Sony for awhile due to my intrigue on their technology, and the fact that a few of my friends and colleagues had started shooting with their products, and raved about them.
The A9 is the first full frame camera with tilting touch screen, just like my three-year old A5100. The A9 has decent phase-detection technology, too, with even more PDAF points than on my A5100 to get the brilliant video touch-to-spot-focus exclusively available only on Sony touch screen cameras...
Form, function and engineering combine to make a truly remarkable camera. All hype aside, this is an outstanding piece of equipment. The focus acquisition speed is incredible, image quality is excellent, and the build quality and feel of the machine are exceptional.
I was a Canon shooter and then moved to the Nikon system. Was always looking at the mirrorless systems but felt it wasnt ready for professional work. Then I saw the announcement of the a9 and it caught my attention and all the features I was looking for.
As a Sony Artisan of Imagery I was able to test the camera a few weeks ago and was impressed byt the fast AF, shutter speed, image quality and dynamic range. Can't recommend it enough for fast shooters (sports, fashion etc).
As an Artisan of Imagery I was able to test the a9 a few weeks ago and was blown away by the fast AF, shutter speed and huge buffer. Image quality is top notch, and dynamic range impressive.
A long-time Nikon user, I jumped to Sony a few years back and use the A99 and the previous A7r camera. This one, by far, is the best camera I have owned and used. It's lighting fast, includes more options, is more intuitive to use, and feels great in my hands.
I had the opportunity to use this camera at the Sony Alpha Collective Kando Trip 1.0 a few weeks ago in California. Just picking this camera up, I could feel the improvements over the previous Sony models. It just felt sturdy. The autofocus tracking is like a cheat code honestly.
I sure wanted to love this camera... I've been on the Sony train since the NEX-5 in 2010. I've enjoyed the journey and in the process I've funded Sony's R&D. Each step has been great leading up to the a7rii which is so stellar.
