Tony has confirmed https://twitter.com/tonynorthrup/status/855512293509132288

AF speed that rivals the D5, D500 and 1DXm2.
With AF points that cover 93% of the screen.
With higher framerate.
Without any OVF blackouts.

It must feel weird for Tony when he writes Sony.
It's rhyming with his own name, and is almost identical, except for 1 letter.

But the implication of this outcome means the future is promising for Medium Format, APS-C, 4/3. They all can gain the AF power of DLSR flagships "simply" because of sensor advancement.

I suspect here is far more to this sensor than what we have seen. This sensor is a 3D stacked monstrosity.

It is likely capable of 60 FPS internally for analysis of Exposure / EVF / AF, and then 33% of the frames are exported at 20 FPS externally to outside buffer.

This is just hazardous guessing, but it explains well how the EVF manage to stay fluid and very low latency. Incredible image sensor.

The more we hear coming out of New York and London, the more impressive this Alpha 9 becomes.

And you will be reminded in the back of your mind every camera in the future will have 3D sensors that have several layers of processors and DRAM buffers. Even small micro 4/3s from Olympus will gain AF that will break your sports camera monopoly.

the only real place the D500 will lose out is in low light performance. that means not just being able to get off an exposure, but also freedom to use a higher shutter speed. this is assuming FX glass. Most of the DX glass is slower in actual light transmission.

Low light performance, and the A9's PDAF array covers 93% of the frame.
AF coverage is the main reason why many people prefer the D500 over the D5 to begin with. Besides pricing. And this AF coverage is in a whole other league.

Pro tip, only poor hobbyists factor in lens costs to anything. They hold their retail value so well they are practically free as long as you can afford a few grand tied up in them. If you can't spare a few grand, the fuck did you choose photography for? A pencil is only 50c.

>>3061548
Low light performance and much less sharp Images due to the smaller sensor being more demanding. And worse dr and colour depth. And worse af petformance, and a hilariously small viewfinder, and no accurate focus on lenses faster than 2.8 without using liveview.

It's almost as if the d500 is worse in every single objective metric...

>>3061581

You get no added reach from crop, it's just the centre of a full frame shot. Cropping a ff shot gives exactly the same image once resampled.

Due to physics, phase detection doesn't work close to the edge of the image circle.

That's why DSLR's only have AF points around the center, and why their center AF points work best.
Only way to get decent PDAF in the corners is by using full frame lenses on a crop body.

The A9's off-center AF points mostly rely on contrast detection.
They are "phase detection" in name only.

The a9 still shoots at just 5fps with the mechanical shutter active, so on the off-chance that for some crazy reason, you need to shoot faster than that while under flash, a DSLR can still do that for you.
Of course you'd also need an $8000 flash pack, but it's still a thing...

I don't think you're right about this. If you have a lens with sharp extreme far corners, even the PDAF can work well there.
One of the test samples we saw on the A9 showed it performed well even at the edge.

This 93% coverage will open up to a new way of shooting fast moving subjects, you can even play around with Rule of 3rds, and other composition tricks instead of being forced to center the fast moving subject, and then crop in post.

Spoken as someone who never shoots sports.

In all but perfect lightning you're going to struggle with a crop sensor on a slow lens.
Note that to freeze motion you want to be around 1/1000s for most sports, so at f/5.6 and perfect sunlight you need to shoot at ISO 125.
Just some light clouds and you're at ISO 500.

Only big lenses can give you the combination of reach, fast shutter speeds, and low ISO's.
It doesn't really matter what your sensor size it - smaller sensor just means you pick a shorter but faster lens (say, 200 f/2 instead of 300 f/2.8)

The real advantage of full frame sensors for sports is the ability to crop in post without much quality loss.
And that's a huge benefit given the unpredictable nature, especially when you're using a prime lens.

This new electronic shutter displays completely different characteristics than what we are understand from older generation.
There is minimal distortion.
And 0 issues with banding problems.
And it will have the benefits of absolute silence and 0 vibration. (we have to add artificial noise for cases where it might come in handy)

The only open question I have is with HSS compatibility of things like Flashpoint Xplor 600. I dearly hope that shit still works, or I will just stick to the A7Rii.

Initial reports of low light capability are extremely positive.
Everybody sort of agrees the A7Rii is a bit below the A7Sii. But they hesitate to claim the A7Sii is above the A9 in low light.

With the combination of backside illumination and 24MP, people seem to be almost confident it it, before they are able to compare head to head with A7Sii footage.

IMX269, and IMX159 are 4/3rd. The only problem is they haven't been updated for Exmor R, let alone Exmor RS.

But the thing is it actually just depend on how much money the camera makers funnel into Sony Semiconductors.

For example Phase One was satisfied with their niche they managed to make with that 100 MP MF sensor. So last year they ordered the design of a new 150 MP sensor with Backside illumination.
So this isn't exclusive technology, it's just about whether the camera makers want to put some money into the research and design, or whether they are mere window shoppers who just orders what is on the shelf.

There are ways to circumvent that. They can just let users upload custom sound effects, and by effect allow the use of silent audio effect files.

The regulations don't have a chance to enforce user customisation. And I even doubt it's true what your say, otherwise we would have heard complaints of other users by now if their cameras lackd silent shooting.

Since the banding issues have been completely eliminated, you may now use electronic First-curtain shutter to the absolutely fastest shutter speed your mechanical shutter can handle.

Why the fuck not compare the two? They're both digital cameras. I shoot sports day in and day out, and while I would love a camera that can shoot 20 fps, I'm more than happy with 10. But then again, I'm not working for the AP or Reuters shooting professional sports, so I can make due with a slower framerate. It depends on your needs. I'm sorry if that's too much for you to comprehend.

For wide aperture shots this is only an option when its cloudy. At a 1/1000th shutter the flash drops to a 1/4th. I'd like to work without a reflector as it is painful to adjust when alone. Nd filters suck balls too

It shoots faster and has more af points.

It also has less sealing, the grip is too small to hold larger telephoto lenses and on that note, there are barely any telephoto lenses for this system at all. We don't even know how good the AD really is but since there's not a single cross type point it's not promising. Not to mention point selection on this camera sounds like a fucking chore.

I'm not gonna argue about dynamic range or other bullshit because cameras these days are all pretty close to each other for DR at higher ISOs. Even Canon. For this price you could get a used flagship DSLR and probably feel better about it.

Well, let's look at the facts
It's on sensor, instead of relying on a precision calibrated secondary sensor,
Phase detect is as accurate as af gets.
Because sony use the imaging sensor, they can use intelligent af, something no dslr can do.

So sony have the system with the most potential for accuracy and ai, and their lenses in the majority use floating elements that move faster than traditional focusing methods.

No camera comes close to the frame coverage either.

Time will tell if it's faster in the real world, but having used an a6500 and a 1dx ii quite extensively, I can make an educated guess ;)

Photojournos and people shooting for agencies that purchase this equipment. You know, the majority of people who actually buy these lenses and cameras.

>It's on sensor, instead of relying on a precision calibrated secondary sensor,
It has shitty little sensors that have poor ability to discriminate detail
>Phase detect is as accurate as af gets.
No, CDAF is as accurate as it gets. And that's slow (relatively) and unsure (because it doesn't know where to focus, only when to stop focusing)
>Because sony use the imaging sensor, they can use intelligent af, something no dslr can do.
Nikons do the same thing with the metering sensor.

Let's look at the facts:
Sony's predictive tracking algorithms are garbage in AF-C. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOlrns6XAsc
Sony's AF requires the camera to do a CDAF confirm step before it fires, increasing lag.
The short detection lines with OSPDAF make it a poor choice for long lenses with thin depths of field.
Sony has not as of yet made a mirrorless camera with weather sealing worth a damn.

No, in the real world flash power is determined by how powerful the flash is.
And if we're above 1/250, chances are we're in good light and we're just using a little fill flash.

I already knew that sensor tech has "shifted" the old hierarchy from the film days, i.e. a high res full frame can compete with medium format film, but even so I'd still think MFD would yield better at least a couple stops more of DR.
