0:04
MK2 elements GoPro microphone and their other audio for video products at the
0:08
link in the video description Sony has really put their stamp on the camera
0:12
Market over the last few years recently overtaking Nikon in overall full-frame
0:16
camera market sales in the US to continue this momentum Sony has
0:20
announced the A9 their newest steals camera that looks to please
0:23
photographers looking for a properly Pro body in a mirrorless form factor the A9
0:28
Sports a 24 mapix fullframe sensor that uses their new stacked seaw sensor
0:33
technology the new stacked sensor gives the A9 data processing speeds that are
0:37
20 times faster than any previous Sony full-frame camera in the real world this
0:42
amounts to the A9 being able to shoot an impressive 20 frames per second with a
0:46
buffer of up to 241 raw images or 362
0:50
jpegs Sony is clearly targeting Action Sports and Wildlife photographers with
0:55
specs like that going up against Canon's 1dx Mark II and Nikon Z5 the high-end
1:00
Staples of that market rounding out the specs the A9 has 693 phase detection
1:05
autofocus points that cover 93% of the sensor's frame a 3.68 million dot OLED
1:11
evf that can run at a Brisk 120 frames
1:15
per second son's 5axis inbody stabilization 4K video recording
1:19
oversampled from a 6K readout dual SD card slots and improved battery life
1:24
with their new 2280 Mah rechargeable batteries I was impressed with Sony's
1:29
blackout 3 displays on the camera while also claiming distortion-free silent
1:32
shooting with the electronic shutter which allows a shutter speed of up to
1:36
132,000 of a second for the first time in Sony's lineup it looks like using the
1:40
electronic shutter for its silent operation is a viable way to shoot with
1:44
this camera most of the time allowing shooting anywhere where the sound of a
1:48
mechanical shutter could ruin the moments you are trying to photograph
1:51
golf weddings or Wildlife for example while Sony has included 4K video support
1:56
like in the a7r I it's a bit disappointing to see that they have yet
2:00
to include a log profile in the A9 which would have rounded up the camera's video
2:04
features very nicely since the new stack sensor should perform much better in
2:08
terms of rolling shutter and the 24 megapixel sensor also makes this a very
2:12
compelling hybrid Stills and video camera on paper Sony is likely saving
2:16
the more video focused approach for their next entry in the A7 series of
2:20
cameras overall the A9 looks to be very well placed in the market to take on
2:23
Canon and Nikon's offerings and at $4,500 It Is by no means a cheap camera
2:29
but for its Target Market it does come in $1,500 cheaper than its competition
