Pros: quick and smart focus, silent snap and iso noise compared to a99v

Cons: Battery life, screen definition, wifi too basic

Opinion: socket to replace my a99 (and a77ii and a58 previously) and flank it to the rx100iii. the body feels slightly heavier, otherwise with the machine off does not change anything at all, ignition much faster and snap let's say the silent double (for those who asked... The a99 clicked clok, this just does clik. as if they had taken away half the time of the shutter... obvious same times iso and f.... it's a dumb phrase but I hope it makes the idea) the 5 ace stabilization is extraordinary and the focus very fast and smart. the reflex seems perfect I just found these negative things for me: -the menu compared to the a99 is slightly longer and cumbersome although practically the same -the wifi serves to take or send photos on the phone or interact with the pc, I would have liked that as for the rx100, I own, could download apps to be able to do for example photo stacking - super orientable screen but after 15 years (it also did the a58) they could improve the quality or do it oled... -ridiculous battery, always because it's 15 years that the they do identical to those of the 4-money reflex and could even give him a few hundred mha, just to make those 50 more photos... -THIS IS MY PENSIERO ABOUT THE PRODUCTS SONY HAVE... the packaging and all the internal components (battery, cable, charger) are the same as the 300, 600,1200 euro reflex... I find it ugly that the most expensive reflex of sony has the same packaging and components supplied identical to those of reflexes from 15 years ago... It's a whist i know, but 15 years and 350 euros of the a58 against 3000 euros of the a99ii and I have in front of the exact same black and orange box, the lace, usb cable and battery. with the same identical codes oem... let's say that with sony you don't have a minimum of exclusivity even to pay them millions...

Pros: All

Cons: Nothing

Opinion: If you won the TIPA 2017 award for the best professional SDRL machine, something will mean and also beating the canon 1DX mark II and the NiKon D5 . on the other hand the potential of this SDRL PRO machine that integrates several functions of the mirrorless Sony that have made school in recent years from the A7 III ,A7R III, A7R IV to the ultrafast sports machines and naturalistic photo the A9 and A9 II with as many as 20 fps shots. the electronic viewfinder is a real treat, because it makes you see the real photo as it will come and not like the optical sights. 42 megapixels and 12 fps shots make it a machine that can be used in all fields from sport, to naturalistic birdlife, to portrait photography, to panoramas, to street photos being a car of the size contained 142 x 104 x 76, slightly larger than mirrorless. the only downside is the A-type mount attack, not even compatible with adapters with nikon or canon optics, but they accept Minolta/Konica lenses in addition to being able to be mounted on the mirrorless Sony mount E with adapter. another downside is the lack of compatibility to the latest SDXC (UHS-II) cards. otherwise a car bomb.... and I'm from the Canon 1DX MARk II.

Pros: Strong jpg files are ready and perfect in everything, scary sharpness. Speed ??and excellent holding at high ISO

Cons: Complicated menu, buttons and joystick in my opinion not as precise as canon

Opinion: I still have to test it for good and I have only one optician available. I'm currently in flush with my Canon set. What to say ...... Simply fantastic. Unique neo maybe an a-mount attack that is not known if it has a future. Although with this attack you will find very useful lenses. In short I will use comparisons of use with canon reflexes. The thing that matters is the stabilization, it snaps with 300mm freehand lenses 1/30 without stirring.

Pros: 3.400 euros of car to have an unsolvable problem .... pusccccccc .... sony must do only the Washers

Cons: In Video, Autofocus continues to automate values ??(Diaphragm and Shutter Time) but is not a big problem but the biggest problem is the malfunction of the tropicalization system.

Opinion: I bought this photo camera but above all for my videos, all right until during an exterior training the machine turns off and reboots it indicates the icon of overheating so I think it has the same problem as previous ones (No a6500 but .. A6300 - a7s - a7sii and a7rii) that tot min. Of 4k recording the sensor overheated by sending the protector to the car but ... by doing the tests I found that the one of the a99II the problem is more serious .rnIn the interior where the ambient temperature is not excessive the machine is in 4k to 29.30 Min registers without any problems and bursts without problems but when it is used in the outside with high temperature and no bursts of bursts and takes videos in 4k 40sec - 1.20min. A couple already reports overheating, I did a test from my retailer with my own and with a new one from the showcase and they both found the same problem so .rnThe car has a system of tropicalization not working this explains that sony has not yet put out An update of the same because prYou probably want to put it out of production because there can not be any updated firmware that can fix the problem, a9 one month since its release is already public update while a99II no then .... rnAVVISO totally disapprove the purchase I'm returning it And since this is a serious sony problem leaving the brand both photographed and videographed

Pros: Almost everything

Cons: No simple shortcuts

Opinion: I would say that this camera body is the best ever until today March 12, 2017, a real bomb, the only flaw but may be my lack of knowledge of the Sony system, are the shortcuts, for example in changing iso while watching in the viewfinder it is not easy to handle it quickly, because the meter disappears, or if you are using the front knob left the problem is outdated, but it is inconvenient and not very fast as procedura.rnCome repeat for the rest of truly exceptional, the top. rnPer the moment I do not have many optical and by the way is not much shooting, despite all past and look at my gallery ...;)

Pros: Making fire fast, backlit sensor, outstanding image quality, handling, noise content at high ISO, etc. etc.

Cons: almost useless front multifunction knob (according to me) could remain as the exclusive 77II for choosing the type of focus. to change the memory slots must rnentrare in the old A390 menu which had two slots for change was a switch inside the door of the slots (more practical)

Opinion: I purchased the 14th of this month and I found there are now well because the shape, size, and layout of the controls is equal to 77II camera I own for almost two years. It has a hybrid system of focus that I think is ineuagualiabile, with original optics you have a choice of the focus point that covers the entire frame into it sofrappongono the traditional 79 points that become all cross working and the two systems in tandem the result is accuracy and speed even in low light.
