Is The Sony Alpha A9 The Ultimate Mirrorless Full-Frame Camera?

Sony surprises with an all-new flagship mirrorless camera

 

There have been rumors kicking around for the past few months that Sony would bring out a new flagship full-frame camera that sits above the Alpha 7 range, and now it’s taken the wraps off the Alpha A9. Sony is calling this the most technologically advanced, innovative digital camera it’s ever created, and with an impressive spec it’s hard to argue with that claim.

The new Alpha 9 promises blackout free continuous shooting at up to 20fps while undertaking 60 AF/AE tracking calculations per second. This is made possible thanks to a newly designed 24.2MP full-frame stacked Exmor RS CMOS sensor.

The unique design of the Alpha A9’s sensor enables a broad ISO range of 100–51,200, expandable to 50–204,800, while there’s also support for uncompressed 14-bit raw files.
