Pros: Relatively small and light body. High-end viewfinder. Autofocus from number (A) 1 ,a sniper Sensitivity and responsiveness of the joystick and especially of the impressive shutter button

Cons: Battery life, Sony menu... kilometers, complex, and sometimes written in an unspeakable way: coll crs drnt ali.. mtd coll cntr .. Oct Gim ... etc etc ... But please Sony...

Opinion: I don't want to make a real review of the camera, also because Sony is not my usual equipment, but talk in general about my feelings during use at sporting events. Shooting with Sony personally I don't feel like an immersive experience, as it can be with Olympus or Fuji, it is a brand that offers exceptional products for all budgets and all needs, and probably in terms of development and technology it is ahead of everyone, but it does not give me emotions. the same equipment even of the very high range, although incredibly valid does not involve me much, it is a brand let's say "without a soul", cold ... Apart from that... however, I cannot fail to recognize the goodness and the "superiority" of the Sony A1 (and in other ways of the A9iii) compared to everything I have used in the past and that I mainly use today.. With A1 we are several steps above Canon R5ii / R6ii / Olympus OM1 and in my opinion also Z8 ... The responsiveness, sensitivity and precision, which translate into effectiveness, are clearly superior. In the sports field I have often found myself in situations where I had given up several shots, I did not imagine that I had been able to bring home that particular moment ... yet as soon as I looked at the photo taken the photos were there, all of them, and exactly as I had searched for them, simply with a tiny and instantaneous press of the shutter button. In fact, the responsiveness and sensitivity of the shutter button of the A1 (and A9iii) are incredible ... to be left speechless. But in particular I found myself better for various reasons with the A1 than the A9iii .... I see the A9iii more for individual sports where perhaps an autofocus that is stuck to the eye (impressive...) can be more useful but in my shooting areas the feeling is that the A1 is still the queen ... that 1 is not put there by chance ..... Maybe it will not have some novelties, more than anything else in shape, compared to the A9iii or A7r5 which are more modern ... but this does not mean that it is less effective, on the contrary .... I definitely missed more shots with the A9iii than with the A1 ... The A1 is a real sniper... Furthermore, compared to the A9iii it is also significantly smaller, and this is a gift that I appreciate very much, and fortunately Sony has designed it without battery grip .. giving priority to compactness and lightness, which today are essential for me. An A1 with 70-200 2.8 II weighs "nothing" and the performance is an absolute record. The viewfinder of the A1 is obviously very beautiful, among the best. On paper, the A9iii is the same, but in reality it is brighter. the manufacturers at each update (applies to Sony and all the others) with the same viewfinder still increase the brightness ... However, there is no obvious difference, but only if you want to look for it on purpose. JPEGs are beautiful... Quite natural... Those of the A9iii are perhaps a more "natural" thread but not in an excessively different way. Anyway finally they are nice JPEGs!! Not the usual crap that Sony has always proposed with all the other inferior models...! This incredible speed and responsiveness, on the other hand, does not give you the feeling that you are shooting, and it is necessary to activate the simulation of the shutter noise. but if you are in the middle of cars or motorcycles or particularly noisy events you still don't hear the noise of the shot ... And you have the fear of having lost the shots ... But then in the end the shots are there; )

Pros: Stacked Sensor (No Blackout), AF, Burst, Physical Controls (Rings, Turrets)

Cons: A bit of ergonomics (I miss 1 cm at the bottom), display of a lower level than the rest.

Opinion: I am not a professional but a simple amateur. The Sony A1 is the first flagship I've bought in many years, mainly because of the cost but also because I never felt up to or needed such tools. I've had, over time, other Sonys. The A1 attracted me for various things. The high resolution, already had with A7RIII. The sensor stacked, tested a few days with A9II. The 22Mp aps-c mode (thanks to the 50Mp starter), the good focus that I had already appreciated on the latest Sony I had. All in one machine. Beyond this, the sight, the burst, the two turrets and the additional rings. As soon as I had it, I mounted the 100-400 on it and went to the wildlife park to see if I could use it. I was a bit in awe of it but I didn't find it difficult. There are no abstruse functions (for photographers). What it gave me back is what I expected and even something more. It's ready, it's fast, it's reliable. The turret controls, for me, are really comfortable and simple. The viewfinder is excellent. For me, the display and a bit of the ergonomics (I'm missing 1 cm at the bottom) are disappointing. I've often read discussions about the point of putting professional models in the hands of amateurs. I've also read about how much the vehicle can add to personal technical ability. With the A1 in hand, I think I can say that even a flagship can be used without shame by an amateur and that such a vehicle does not hinder, with complexity of use, but facilitates the obtaining of interesting and quality shots (in my case thanks to AF, burst, viewfinder without blackout, high resolution expendable in cropping). It remains a personal choice to devote so much money to one's passion.

Pros: Speed, files, stacked sensor.

Cons: White balance, colors a little' dull, signal to noise ratio well but not very well, autofocus still quite uncertain.

Opinion: As you can see,, for me and' not 'taken the spark with this machine for various reasons that I list below: N1 you have to underexpose a lot to save the whites N2 colors do not make me crazy N3 the white balance is not really the maximum N4 the autofocus system really disappointed me, especially in the pursuit of the eye in my opinion still remains behind,, I tried different settings but cmq still are not there. In gusts there are many shots out of focus even to the subject still in my opinion still pays the price of a sensor so dense, I 'happened so many times to have subject with backgrounds that is not sky, but other and have lost the subject or did not even focus . N5 noise still well present at high iso, it becomes a really nice problem, so very difficult to use for services such as weddings or other. N6 l ergonomics for me too small the keys well customizable unfortunately touch very easily accidentally, bringing the face closer to the viewfinder for my hands really not ergonomic. The thing that annoys me most is having to select every time which eye to choose between human bird or animal but above all on a machine from 7000 euros you can not make a non-articulated monitor. Unfortunately for me, it's not worth the amount it costs I hope Sony makes a substantial update.

Pros: Quality, Af speed, ergonomics, crazy colors, impeccable on every aspect.

Cons: Price, battery, sad monitor, high iso suffers little.

Opinion: opinion? The dream machine, nothing to say, if you are a photographer you must have it ... a monstrous AF, impressive tracking, has a rendering in the photo out of the ordinary, a science of color really embarrassing! I have tested it on several occasions from the wedding to the sporting event, lately I tested it for twelve hours in a row coveted video, and I would say an exceptional autofocus, even at long distances. In the evening it sins ... Obviously the 50 mpx are all felt ... if you want to make good videos in the evening an alpha 7sIII is for you.

Pros: well what to say the pros are deadly af , colors, file cleaning even at high iso

Cons: for me no one, initially before having it I would have thought the price, it is true it is expensive but it is worth every penny spent

Opinion: what to say a perfect machine, of sony I had practically all and for her I gave up a piece of my heart the a7rIV, it took me a while to decide but then here is that after a photo session in light not at all easy I can say to be happy with the choice made, perfect machine that works very well even in low times freezing the images perfectly, it has all the speed and perfection of the files of the a9II and the masterful detail of the a7rIV, very successful macchian, the only real flaw is that it creates an incredible dependence
