Sony a9 Review

Sony a9 sensor review: Game changer?

   The Sony a9 is the Japanese manufacturer’s latest flagship mirrorless offering, boasting a raft of high-performance features for action photographers. The 24.2Mp stacked CMOS sensor offers up to 20x faster sensor readout times, with an electronic shutter capable of impressively quick 1/32,000-second shutter speed, and blackout-free continuous shooting. The electronic shutter and mirrorless design facilitates super-fast 20fps continuous shooting, with AF/AE tracking as well as silent camera operation. The 693-point phase detection autofocus system also boasts coverage across the entire frame, enabling easier framing and improved tracking, as well as low light autofocus down to –3Ev. Combine all that with its body-integrated
