  • For nearly $6,700 you can be at the edge of the camera industry. If the A7 and A7 II series of cameras before it are any indication, the A9 is a camera that will age well. Shooters and videographers don't have many full-frame cameras that meet each other...

  • The Sony a9 is more than just a refinement of the company's a7-series of full-frame mirrorless cameras; it's an evolution. With meaningful ergonomic and user interface improvements, the a9 is a polished and highly capable camera. It may not be a go-to cam...

  • Stick with lenses sold by Sony, be they branded Sony or Zeiss, for the best results as you expect. Sony's GM lenses are especially excellent in every way on the A9.Adapting lenses of other brands, even though these lenses may be state-of-the-art on those...

  • Abstract:  I wish you could hear the Sony a9 capture 20 frames per second. But you can't because it doesn't make any sound at all. There are a lot of things the Sony a9 does that are different than any other cameras. The a9 changes many things about taking photograp...

  • Abstract:  Yes, the a9 is sick-fast, arguably sickest-fastest general purpose camera out there. But I actually lost sleep after shooting with it for a full day, wondering “why this camera, why now, and for whom?”The rise of mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras is...
