I think the hype is a combination of what the body can do at its price pointI’ll not be buying one, just want to see what the hype is about
I gave up resisting Sony GAS. hahahahaha
Sorry I wasn’t denying the hype, I bet it’s a mega all rounderI think they hype is a combination of what the body can do at its price point
Mine is due next week
Certainly is, gave it a good testing in store and decided to take the plunge.......Sorry I wasn’t denying the hype, I bet it’s a mega all rounder

The thought did cross my mind but going to hold onto it for now..... still like the silent shutter and zero black out.

What I like is that Sony has kept the ergonomics and buttons same across the range.... great for muscle memory.
Correct..... probably keep it

And the nicer viewfinder with better refresh rateThe thought did cross my mind but going to hold onto it for now..... still like the silent shutter and zero black out.

Yes a long with other features, however you have to ask yourself if those features are worth the extra money over the Sony A7 III.And the nicer viewfinder with better refresh rate

I don't think the Sony A9 is over-priced against its rivals Nikon D5 & Canon 1DX Mark III, however when you compare it to Sony's own bodies it seems a harder choice.
I think its great Sony is pushing out these great bodies..... can only get better going forwards

Yep, that's the idea.... need to get my @rse into gear.

Don't forget the A9 was the first to have the joystick and better battery lifeWhen you compare it to the other Sony models it does seem expensive, however I have no idea on the cost to manufacture a sensor and processor that can give such fast readout times, how much it costs to manufacture zero blackout etc, better build/weather sealing etc etc. I'm sure those things aren't cheap.
It's like the A7Riii vs the A7iii, on the face of it the A7Riii seems expensive, but again I've no idea how much more it costs to build a sensor with nearly twice the MP, the cost of the better EVF and viewfinder, again better build/weather sealing. Maybe when you start taking into account all the little things then the price starts to make a bit more sense? On saying that, the grey prices of the A9 and A7riii make A LOT more sense
Haha tell me about it......Where do you get the time to work to fund all these GAS
Or are you some royalty with s**t loads of inheritance
They have cannibalised the A9 and given Canikon a spanking

Hold your horses. Look at images from the Commonwealth games where you can see all the cameras. How many Sony’s do you see? Look at the images of Ant leaving court yesterday, loads of cameras to be seen in all the images. No Sony.
I do think Sony are producing amazing stuff, and I would love to own another Sony. But they are not yet a top player in professional photography. At least in those two major pro segments.
Reading this forum you’d think no other cameras existed
Yeah, so do I, they have chucked it all into a very affordable body, they must know Canikon are bringing something to the party soon.
Waiting for delivery of my a7iii and lens today...it's going to be a loooong day
In the meantime, what SD cards are you guys using?
On my Nikon I was using a Sandisk Extreme Pro SDXC I 64gb so I guesss I will need to get a UHS-II.

Its a trait of the A7R series, the A7R II was the same however you have to remember its having to shift through a lot more data due to the file sizes
