The 24.2-million-pixel mirrorless model is the world&#8217;s first camera to feature an Exmor RS stacked full-frame CMOS sensor. It also comes equipped with a Bionx X processor supported by a front-end LSI and is capable of shooting at 20 frames per second with no viewfinder blackout\u00a0with a buffer of 241 raw frames or 362 jpegs before the camera slows down and\u00a0and vibration-free shooting at speeds up to 1\/32,000 sec.<\/p>\n<p>Other key\u00a0features include an on-sensor AF system with 693 phase-detection points arrayed across 93% of the frame that\u2019s\u00a0capable of 60 focus and exposure tracking calculations per second; 5-axis in-body stabilisation that Sony claims gives up to 5 stops benefit; and twin SD card slots, one of which supports the UHS-II standard. <a href=\"http:\/\/amateurphotographer.co.uk\/latest\/photo-news\/sony-introduces-high-speed-alpha-9-104629\">Click here<\/a> to\u00a0read more.<\/p>\n<p>Shortly after announcing the Alpha 9, Sony arranged for us to get hands on with the new camera and the latest addition to Sony&#8217;s flagship G-Master lens series, <a href=\"http:\/\/amateurphotographer.co.uk\/latest\/photo-news\/sony-reveals-new-premium-super-telephoto-lens-for-alpha-system-cameras-104628\">the FE 100-400mm f\/4.5-5.6 GM OSS<\/a>. Off we went to The Ring Boxing Club in London where Sony had organised a number of shooting setups, which\u00a0included a range of boxing and gymnastics scenarios, to allow us to test the autofocus and drive speed of the Alpha 9.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_104645&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 820px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-104645\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/SEL100400_A-Large.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/04\/SEL100400_A-Large.jpg 800w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/04\/SEL100400_A-Large.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/04\/SEL100400_A-Large.jpg?resize=600,400 600w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/04\/SEL100400_A-Large.jpg?resize=562,374 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Sony FE 100-400mm f\/4.5-5.6 GM OSS<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<p>There was a constant light setup inside the boxing gym to allow us to freeze the action with fast shutter speeds starting from 1\/1000 sec. With wide aperture values selected,\u00a0f\/4-5.6, depth of field was restricted, allowing us to put the AF system to the test. I also tested the sensitivity levels from ISO 1600 &#8211; 3200, both of which gave good results. While the subjects didn&#8217;t give us the opportunity to test the focus tracking under really difficult conditions, the hit rate was pretty impressive.<\/p>\n<p>When it came to shooting the gymnasts we were able to see how good the Sony a9&#8217;s\u00a0high speed continuous shooting capabilities are. Shooting at 20fps, blackout-free, enabled us to keep the subject within the frame to capture a burst of images that make rather cool action sequences as shown in the video below.<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/link.brightcove.com\/services\/player\/?bctid=5413379279001<\/p>\n\n<p>We think this high-speed camera will certainly give the Nikon D5 and Canon EOS-1D X Mark II a run for their money, priced slightly cheaper at \u00a34500. <a href=\"http:\/\/amateurphotographer.co.uk\/round-ups\/camera_comparisons\/sony-a9-vs-competition-104665\">Read A9 vs The Competition here<\/a>.\u00a0The Sony a9 is due to go on sale in\u00a0June \u2013 stay tuned for our full review around that time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>See below a selection of sample JPEG images straight out the camera<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>See a selection of full resolution sample images from the Sony a9<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2286,"featured_media":104920,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"gallery","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[39,248],"tags":[484],"product-category":[],"class_list":["post-104902","post","type-post","status-publish","format-gallery","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-photo-news","category-sample_images","tag-homepage","post_format-post-format-gallery"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.8 (Yoast SEO v26.8) -
