Does it? I more worse than the a7r3?
I haven’t seen anything comparing the two in terms of a.f and haven’t handled them both side by side.
just wondering as quite a few reviews say it isn’t great.

Yes and even less but not quite enough MPs with birds you nearly always have to crop quite a lot my a7r4 can do that the a9 is a little behind for me but is still a great camera .But the A9 is sub £3k.
Didn’t the A72 introduce IBIS to the range? Probably more significant than the current A9 “upgrade”.I guess the A92 is like the A72 to the A7.
You do know the A9 has the coloured focus box to released a week ago via firmwareIt seems to me that it's being launched with professionals and specifically the Olympics next year in mind to try to get a share of that market dominated by Canon. I'm not in the market for one anyway, so I'll keep using my A73. I think that the future A74 will have much more value for money and features when it is eventually launched. I can't see that the new A92 has any worthwhile upgrades for the normal consumer original A9 owner.... same sensor, same screen, no touchscreen functionality! … BUT … It does get the coloured focus box!
Not just for birds.. In sport you crop a lot.Yes and even less but not quite enough MPs with birds you nearly always have to crop quite a lot my a7r4 can do that the a9 is a little behind for me but is still a great camera .

Anxiously awaiting the huge influx of used A9s.....
If this was an upgrade there would be, it isn't so there wont
What's a global shutter?I think the specs of the A9-II are actually very good if you're looking at it as a 'stand alone' product, in fact very impressive. However as most have said on here it isn't much of an upgrade, and to me it's what the A9 should have been. I don't think it needs more MP, and it's great they've made the mechanical shutter usable for sports in terms of frame rate. The only thing lacking is a global shutter, but that's just a pipe dream at the mo. I'm not sure what else you possibly need. Price is very steep though.

But the A9 has it heheYes, I was talking about the MK2 straight out of the box.
Every pixel blinks simultaneously.
Current sensors goes from one corner to the other, all the way to the opposite end.
It's the reason why rolling shutter in video occurs, it's why if you swing camera left and right with something vertical, it looks like its tilted.
Oh, I like that, great image!Playing about again tonight.

They won't be many 2nd hand a9. Infact most will just keep there a9 until the mk3 comesWith the A9ii Sony appear to have listened to what have been stated as deficiencies in the original A9, and fixed a number of one which might have been holding back sales.
It's not a revolutionary upgrade, but certainly helps remove some negatives that might have people choosing alternatives.

Mechanical Shutter now does 10 fps, and rated at 500,000 +
Improved weather sealing
Improved connectivity
Voice memo
All are making it a more 'Pro' camera - better able to compete with the 'solid' traditional DSLR's - which is where Sony want this camera to be, lined up alongside the offerings from Canon and Nikon at major sporting events.
And for the rest of us - potentially a drop in A9 prices, and more s/h A9's on the market

That's where Sony dropped the ball.Pretty much this most of the wedding photographers that have them aren’t switching anyway. I might just pick an A9 new myself they are already pretty cheap grey and I have had an unexpected windfall today.
That's where Sony dropped the ball.
They have missed out big time on the none hardcore sports pros from upgrading to this.
By all means improve the things they did but also bring something that gives us a reason to upgrade. 36mp or even a 30fps increase would have enticed more. Or Heck out the A9 mk2 into a brand new bigger Sony body
To be fair I guess the market for cameras specifically for us wedding and event guys isn’t huge. None of Sony’s current range is a perfect match really.
The A7III is probably the closest to being ideal.
The A7RIV produces files that are too big to be useful in terms of workflow but that seems to be the one they are aiming at the wedding guys as it’s great for portraits.
The A9 is great but dynamic range isn’t ideal.
It’s a pity really if they allowed the option for smaller raw files on the A7RIV it would probably be a decent option.

Just be careful as the Sony FE lenses are not always much smaller / lighter than the DSLR equivalents.Hi watching this with interest , I'm a Canon 1dx mk2 user but too heavy due to onset of arthritis ,o need a lighter kit mainly for aircraft I know the lenses I want 100/400,, 200/600 just need to find a body A9 a7r3
