CamerasSony a9: The Best Of The Best

The Sony a9 remains the company’s most expensive mirrorless camera but for a reason. It has been claimed as the best model of the Alpha series as its specialty is in fast-action photography. Its 24.2-megapixel full-frame sensor has the ability to capture 20 frames per second (fps).

It also has blackout-free shooting which allows you to track the subject effortlessly through the viewfinder while clicking the electronic shutter. This feature is exclusive to the a9.

This camera was mainly made for wedding, action, and sports photographers which is groundbreaking for a mirrorless camera. Most cameras built for these types of photography are DSLRs which is why the a9 has been turning heads. Olympus first started the trend with its E-M1 Mark II but Sony came in and perfected the trend with this speedy full-frame camera.

Design

With its high-end features, Sony still kept the classic Alpha-series mirrorless body on the a9. It has the same dimensions as the a7R III, measuring at 5 x 4 x 2.5 inches and 24 ounces with the battery. Although, if you are not accustomed to the small body, you can add a battery grip which can be convenient for those who need extra runtime or more precise ergonomics.
