  • 20 FPS Continuous shooting, Dual USC-II SD Slots
  • Astronomically expensive

  • Abstract:  As a novice photographer, it's tough for me to say whether Sony's $7000 a9 full-frame mirrorless camera is worth the money. What I can say is that the sheer speed and power of this machine make it the most impressive camera I've ever worked with.This is S...

  • Recent market statistics confirm that mirrorless cameras represent the only sector of the 'serious' camera market that is showing any real growth. The α9 is smaller and faster than either the Canon 1DX Mk II or Nikon D5 and its high ISO images are noticea...

  • The potential market for the $6999 Sony A9 in Australia is going to be small, there's no getting around that. It's a $7000 piece of photographic hardware that definitely requires some equally high-end glass. That's a huge investment even for a professiona...

  • Expensive, Battery life could be better
