The A9 is the first full frame camera with tilting touch screen, just like my three-year old A5100. The A9 has decent phase-detection technology, too, with even more PDAF points than on my A5100 to get the brilliant video touch-to-spot-focus exclusively available only on Sony touch screen cameras...

While Sony's A7-series cameras have offered a tantalizing glimpse into Sony's vision for the future, they always seemed to be missing that extra bit of polish. Creaky lens mounts, a pokey autofocus system, pitiful battery life...

Sony A9
The A9 is the third Sony mirrorless camera designed to appeal to professional photographers. Whereas the A7R II targeted landscape photographers with its huge 42 megapixel resolution and the A7S II clearly appealed to videographers, the Sony A9's sheer speed makes it a serious rival to the Canon...

Sony A9 Camera Body ILCE9B review
Professional cameras tend to specialise and concentrate on fairly limited area of photography. As a professional-level camera the Sony Alpha 9 has an extensive feature set and there’s a huge range of customisation options.

Sony A9 review
Sony’s high-end mirrorless cameras continue to impress, and the A9 represents a genuine challenge to Nikon and Canon’s top-of-the-range DSLRs. 20fps stills shooting, with continuously-updating autofocus and exposure, from a full-frame lens? That’s something none of this camera’s rivals can touch at the moment. Is this a camera for non-professionals, though? At £4,500, it’s a tough sell – the Sony A7 series offers fantastic (albeit slightly slower) models for £2,000 less, and I’d be inclined to recommend those above the A9 for the vast majority of people. For those five percenters who shoot sport, wildlife or photojournalism and need the speed, though? The A9 is the fastest camera in town.
Pros:
- Incredibly fast stills shooting
- 5-axis image stabilisation
- Solid, compact build
- Good battery life
- Cheaper than Canon and Nikon rivals
- Slick 4x slo-mo video
Cons:
- Screen won’t flip to the front
- That price tag
