[QUOTE="pforsell, post: 617992, member: 7240"] Sony marketing department is very good. It has struck everybody with awe, unless we calm down, take a seat, and check the specs with a nice cup of coffee. :) Sure, A9 is a very good camera, at least on paper until confirmed in real life use. Nevertheless the tech is not groundbreaking. Nikon had 60 fps mirrorless in 2011, the Nikon 1 V1. Sure, much smaller sensor, but larger sensor real estate in itself does not affect frame rate. The A9 is a flagship camera, with [B]specs[/B] in the same ballpark as 1D X Mk II and D5. Real life [B]performance[/B] remains to be seen. The fatal problem with Sony mirrorless is the lenses. They are [B]bigger[/B] than Nikon counterparts. So, one can have one larger body in the bag with several smaller lenses, or one smaller body and several larger lenses. The Sony approach is brain damaged, imho. They need to fix this. See yourself, D5 + 85/1.4G and A7RII with 85/1.4GM: [url=http://camerasize.com/compact/#624.516,649.330,ha,t]Compact Camera Meter[/url] Lack of lenses, too small a body size, too big lenses, and EVF will not make everybody jump with joy. But new choices are good. So, all in all, thumbs up! [/QUOTE]
