Sony has brought to the photography table one of the most innovative mirrorless cameras of all time. They’ve taken the best aspects and, with a commitment to their word of listening to their fans, the new Alpha 9 is a dream come true. It’s every sort of professional feature you could imagine in one beautiful compact body.
CHECK OUT THESE 9 THINGS ABOUT SONY A9 THAT YOU SHOULD KNOW:
1. Blackout-free continuous shooting at up to 20 frames per second.
Sony Alpha 9 introduces the high-speed performance full-frame stacked Exmor RS CMOS sensor, 24.2 MP resolution paired with a brand new BIONZ X processing engine. Watch these two work magic as they team up for 20fps continuous shooting.
That means 241 RAW images at a time. If you prefer JPEG mode, you can shoot 362 images at a time.
2. Highest-ever resolution Electronic Viewfinder (EVF).
The Quad-VGA OLED Tru-finder has luminance 2x higher than the a7RII’s XGA Electronic Viewfinder.
3. 693 Phase Detection AF Points
This insane phase-detection covers approximately 93% of the image area. Welcome to the most precise and accurate autofocus capability ever.
4. Shooting at speeds up to 1/32,000 sec
Electronic shutter speeds up to 1/32000 sec so you can keep your shallow depth of field without an ND filter (even during bright conditions).
5. 4K Movies at High-Resolution
Sony Alpha delivers highest possible quality 4K movies thanks to full pixel readout without pixel binning to collect 6K of information and oversampling it to produce high-quality 4K footage without binning.
6. Double Battery Life, Double Memory
Shoot for longer with all-new Sony battery that has 2.2x the capacity of previous Sony full-frame models.
Also, A 9 delivers Dual Media Slots. One slot for SF and one for SD/Memory Stick cards means you can backup still/movie date, copy between cards and also save RAW/JPEG images to different cards.
7. Body-integrated Image Stabilization
Sony didn’t leave out the 5-axis image stabilization for your handheld shooting. Say farewell to camera shake and fine-tune your shooting.
