  • Completely silent 20fps mode, Fast and effective autofocus, No viewfinder blackout
  • Unbalanced with larger lenses, Shorter battery life than DSLRs, EVF is good but not perfect
  • The Alpha 9 is simply stunning – both as a technical achievement and as a tool for capturing fast-moving action. The silent 20fps continuous shooting mode can capture shots you would once have missed, and the AF system is complex but extremely effective...

  • Upon returning home I couldn't resist spending a day on the bayou in an attempt to get some action shots of a Rougarou—Louisiana's fabled swamp-dwelling werewolf. Fortunately, there was nary a bloodthirsty monster in sight, but the Sony A9 performed admir...
