  • The Sony A9 is hands-down one of the most impressive cameras we've ever used. If you need to shoot a ton of photos with unbridled speed, this seems like the camera to get.That said, the Sony A9 is aimed at a very particular crowd of sports and photojourna...

  • Finally makes a case for electronic shutters, Vastly improved controls, Unbelievable performance
  • Prohibitively expensive, Still no fully articulating screen
  • The Sony Alpha A9 might be the most specced-out mirrorless full-frame camera ever introduced, but it wants to make a bigger stamp on the future of digital photography as a whole...

  • Best autofocus on a mirrorless camera, 20 FPS burst mode can be really helpful, Great ergonomics, Dual SD card slot
  • Max burst rate on mechanical shutter limited to 5fps, Second SD card slot not UHS compliant
  • The Sony A9 offers great performance in terms of maximum burst speed and AF tracking. The camera, despite its dual SD card slots, does not offer card rollover and limits only one slot to UHS compliance. For the price, the camera is an impressive camera, b...

  • Good for clicking fast-paced subject, Decent battery life, More direct control on shooting
  • Sony A9 sure costs a huge amount but like we've mentioned above, it is not for everyone. Made for professional shooters, the mirrorless camera is probably worth for those who want a specific feature while shooting videos or images.At this point, with a Rs...

  • Abstract:  Sony has finally announced the a9 and it's now available here in Malaysia. And it's definitely a beast on the inside. On the paper, it looks wow. When you try it for the first time, it's no longer wow. Because by the time you realize how fast it is, your...

  • Incredibly fast stills shooting, 5-axis image stabilisation, Solid, compact build, Good battery life, Cheaper than Canon and Nikon rivals, Slick 4x slo-mo video
  • Screen won't flip to the front, That price tag
  • Sony's high-end mirrorless cameras continue to impress, and the A9 represents a genuine challenge to Nikon and Canon's top-of-the-range DSLRs.20fps stills shooting, with continuously-updating autofocus and exposure, from a full-frame lens? That's somethin...
