Abstract: If you've ever wondered how a photographer managed to capture the exact moment of an incredible end zone reception or the instant a bird takes flight, the answer, in part, is that the photographer's camera also captured the garbage moments directly before...

The potential market for the $6999 Sony A9 in Australia is going to be small, there's no getting around that. It's a $7000 piece of photographic hardware that definitely requires some equally high-end glass. That's a huge investment even for a professiona...
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...

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...
