  • Photographers capturing fast action
  • Landscapes

  • Portraiture and studio work or high-quality video

The editors didn't like

  • A $6
  • 499 camera should not have such a terrible LCD
  • Bird AF feels like it's still in beta
  • And Pixel Shift Multi Shot is hit or miss
  • The price
  • It takes a while to figure out the optimum settings
  • Underwhelming screen specification
  • Manual switching between the Eye AF subjects
  • Very expensive
  • You have to need it all
  • Rear display should be better
  • 8K video chews through battery
  • Menu system is still bad
  • Battery life is worse than other Alpha models
  • It's expensive
  • Photographers that don't need (or won't benefit from) the a1's combination of abilities. Those that need maximum resolution and dynamic range

  • Abstract:  When looking at the front of the camera, you can see an IR white balance sensor. This promises improved white balance accuracy, particularly under fluorescent, LED, or other artificial light sources. We know the lens mount is strengthened, but the shutter...

  Published: 2021-08-15, review by: EISA.eu

  • Abstract:  With the Sony Alpha 1, photographers no longer face a choice between high resolution or high speed. Instead, it delivers 50-million-pixel images at up to 30fps with an uninterrupted blackout-free view in its electronic viewfinder, thanks to its unique ful...

  • High-resolution full-frame sensor,Stunning burst mode performance,Good battery life,Image quality is superb,All the ports you could possibly need
  • Flippy screen is limited,It's prohibitively expensive for most,Auto-lock mechanism on dials can be fiddly,Menu button in the wrong place
  • There aren't many cameras on the planet capable of doing everything the A1 can. It's a magnificent machine. From 8K video recording through to intense 50-megapixel bursts at lightning speed, all without breaking a sweat, it's got pretty much everything. I...

  Published: 2021-05-21, Author: Sam , review by: stuff.tv

  • Excellent image quality, Very fast, Wealth of video options
  • Tilting screen feels like a step backwards
  • The A1's price tag is a big one, but professionals who want a single do-it-all camera for both video and photo won't be disappointed with what it provides in return. Value-wise, the £3,800 A7S III represents a better deal for people who only shoot video (...

  • Captures incredible detail, Blisteringly fast AF, Super-speedy burst shooting, Rare blend of speed and resolution
  • Prohibitively expensive, Overkill for most photographers, Menu system is complicated
  • The Sony A1 is a truly remarkable camera that covers almost every photographic niche thanks to its high-resolution sensor, super-fast burst shooting, lightening quick AF, professional connectivity and 8K raw video. It's a stunning camera to use and the im...

  Published: 2022-01-12, review by: in.pcmag.com

  • Abstract:  There's never been a better time to make the jump to a full-frame digital camera. Over the past few years, models with 24-by-36mm image sensors-the same dimensions as a frame of 35mm film-have become more and more affordable. And while the smaller APS-C s...
