Often the first person to get the photo in, is the one who gets published.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is a stacked CMOS sensor?<\/strong> A stacked sensor has internal memory built-in that enables faster readout from the sensor, meaning the camera can shoot at a faster continuous shooting speed. BSI = Backside Illuminated Sensor, giving improved noise performance compared to non-BSI sensors.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Image stabilisation:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>R3: 5-axis sensor-shift, up to 8 stops, with optically stabilised lens<\/li>\n<li>A1: 5-axis sensor-shift, 5.5 stops<\/li>\n<li>A9 II: 5-axis sensor shift, up to 5 stops<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Canon\u2019s 5-axis image stabilisation system moves the sensor to counter any camera shake, and this works in combination with Canon\u2019s lenses with Optical Image Stabilisation, giving up to 8 stops of image stabilisation. Sony\u2019s system works in the same way, but Sony only quote the amount of stabilisation for the camera with a lens without optical image stabilisation.

You can, of course, add a vertical grip to the Sony cameras, but this will add to the price, and isn\u2019t included as standard. If you&#8217;re looking for a smaller camera, then the Sony cameras definitely cater to this market.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Price:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>R3: \u00a35879 body only (RRP)<\/li>\n<li>A1: \u00a36499 body only (RRP)<\/li>\n<li>A9 II: \u00a34800 body only (RRP) &#8211; now available for \u00a34199 body only<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Whilst all these cameras cost a lot of money, there is a \u00a32300 price difference between the most expensive and the cheapest here. This money could be put towards a number of lenses, or you could save yourself a lot of money by choosing the Sony Alpha 9 II, if you don&#8217;t need 30fps continuous shooting.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Other differences:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>R3: Top LCD panel, plus a new Multi-Function Shoe supports new accessories<\/li>\n<li>A1: No top LCD panel. Multi-shot high-resolution mode<\/li>\n<li>A9 II: No top LCD panel<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It may or may not matter to you, but the Sony cameras do not feature a top LCD panel, whereas the Canon EOS R3 does. This gives you shooting information at a glance, and you can see what the camera settings are without having to pick up the camera, this could be useful when a camera is on a tripod, and you might not want to tilt the screen out, in fear of it being damaged by a rougue football or other flying debris. The Canon EOS R3 introduces a new Multi-Function Shoe to support new accessories, including a Directional Stereo Microphone, and Speedlite Transmitter. The Sony Alpha 1, and A9 II both feature a &#8220;Multi Interface Shoe&#8221; with additional electronic contact, like the Canon system, giving support for additional accessories, including microphone
