I do take a lot of info from forums with a pinch of salt, but I find this interesting that what ex D5 user says the A9 is better at focussing in low light than the D5, and an ex D750 user thinks the A7riii tracks better than the D750

There is a video which compares the Nikon D5 vs Sony A9, worth watching.

I agree with Chris I did try the a7riii at the show along side the a7iii and I noticed the a7iii much better

But that's not comparing it to the D750

The A7riii is great, I'd say it pretty much matches the D850 AF wise but I do think the D750 was a hair faster, but your unlikely to notice it - just buy one and enjoy!
I'd be surprised if there was all that much different, the A7riii is going to be slower though by virtue of its epic 42mp sensor!
Early on July 6th then (As that will be the only day of Scottish Summer!
Confused, the d850 is supposed to have better and faster af than the d750?

I always felt the D750 was a little nipper, but then I don't tend to use all the AF points (51 v 153), I only briefly shot with a D750 again recently so it wasn't a proper test!

This confused me too as I thought the same as Twist, that the D850 was better than the D750, and D500 for that matter.
Chris I’m working on a plan to afford it

How do you know and how much for 35mm?
I know everything
They'e supposed to launch at the same price as canikon counterparts but me thinks a bit higher as they'll be fresh out.

It probably is! I don't use the AF on any of them to their fullest ability!

Nope, tamron is poopy.... I don't care about zooms. Kidd8ng.

Decided I am not looking at this thread for a while. Gear envy is strong and I want to avoid any temptation to spend lots of unnecessary money

All? Nope. Some.
This happens when something new comes out, brand doesn't matter.
@addicknchips is the samyang 35 noticeably faster and better at caf than the 35 art mc11?

Hadn’t noticed a big difference. I have A7rii so nothing is overly impressive af wise
Interesting. Thanks

A point worth noting is that in the buffer tests the Sony A9 was at a disadvantage due to using slower speed SD cards.

Seems like everywhere you look you’re getting different opinions. I was surprised to see the A9 score as low as that on the running towards and zoom while focussing tests tbh, especially as I’ve seen a lot of places say it’s better than the D5. Makes you wonder if he had the right AF setting?

He concludes that the 5DIII has a better focusing system than the D750.

There was a known issue regarding AF while zooming which was addressed via body firmware ver. 2.00 and ver. 05 for the 70-200mm f2.8 GM etc
Also the SD cards were UHS-I / slower versions I believe.

Ahh right, makes sense. Did it also have an effect on AF with subjects coming towards you I wonder?
Well that's why you would be zooming.

Has anyone ever shot whilst zooming with the shutter open?
I had a phase of doing that years ago in low light, it can make for some interesting pictures especially if you also move the camera in an arc
PS.
Need a well lit subject though.

Intro2020/Tamron said they're expecting it to launch around June when I asked them at the NEC last week.
