I’m pretty interested to try this camera. it’s priced high enough I would not buy it. Technology changes too fast. However it will be a rentable camera to take out in the field for almost any kind of photography or videography. Or put a PL mount on it and it will happily accept the most interesting lenses used in cinema production. It’s a competitor with cameras half again or even twice the cost.

The low light video will be nothing short of astonishing short of using Arri or Panavision.

The Alpha a9, Sony’s latest entry into its mirrorless lineup, is even more beastly than its siblings. The flagship feature is its 24.2-megapixel, 35-millimeter full-frame CMOS sensor. It’s also insanely fast: it can calculate autofocus and autoexposure 60 times per second and capture 20 frames per second in continuous shooting mode.
