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 someth...

Blistering performance, Incredibly fast and capable AF, No viewfinder blackout, Impressive level of customization, Excellent results from 24MP sensor, High-res viewfinder, Oversampled 4K footage
Weather sealing not as robust as rivals, No XQD card slots, Balance not great with long lenses, Very limited touchscreen control, Battery life not a match for rivals
The Sony Alpha A9 is a phenomenal camera. It's not without its faults – we'll be interested to see how the weather-sealing holds up when it's properly exposed to the elements for starters, while the absence of XQD card slots and very limited touchscreen c...
Yes-but only if you're a professional who needs it.While Sony's A7-series cameras have offered a tantalizing glimpse into Sony's vision for the future, they always seemed to be missing that extra bit of polish. Creaky lens mounts, a pokey autofocus system...

The Sony A9 is hands-down one of the most impressive cameras we've ever used. If you need to shoot a ton of photos with unbridled speed, this seems like the camera to get.That said, the Sony A9 is aimed at a very particular crowd of sports and photojourna...

Finally makes a case for electronic shutters, Vastly improved controls, Unbelievable performance
Prohibitively expensive, Still no fully articulating screen
The Sony Alpha A9 might be the most specced-out mirrorless full-frame camera ever introduced, but it wants to make a bigger stamp on the future of digital photography as a whole...

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...
