Do you remember? We already had an Alpha 9 many years ago!

Did you know we had an Alpha 9 may years ago? This is what ChemicalCameras writes about the [shoplink 53982 ebay]Minolta Alpha 9 Maxxum camera (here on eBay)[/shoplink]:

The Minolta Alpha 9 (a.k.a. Maxxum 9 or Dynax 9) is arguably the finest professional grade 35mm SLR camera ever made. It just oozes with ruggedness and quality. It is one of those cameras that once you pick it up you don’t want to put it down. It was released in 1998 with a feature set that left most of the competitors far behind. It was the last professional grade camera made by Minolta.

Great camera! And honestly, I would have loved Sony to make the body a bit bigger and more “Minolta” alike. Not just because of a matter of personal taste. But I think a bigger body would have served well for many different reasons (improved ergonomic, bigger battery, XQD card, heating control…). Maybe the future A9II will get a different design…

And we also have a new full review of the “new” Sony A9 by Imaging Resource:

Pros
New sensor offers incredible performance; Excellent image quality at low & high ISOs; Very good dynamic range; Phenomenal 20fps burst speed & deep buffer; Very good battery life for a mirrorless; 4K video; Dual card slots.

Cons
Slow buffer clearing; Only one UHS-II card slot; Touchscreen underutilized; No lossless RAW compression option; No 4K/60p option.

Nikon said nearly no PROS using mirrorless yet? Watch the amazing documentary from Chris Burkard about surfing on the Arctic (shot with Sony)

Just recently Mr. Goto Teng from Nikon said that mirrorless ain’t really for Professionals yet. So let’s see some of these Sony amateurs at work:

Sony Artisan of Imagery Chris Burkard shot this breathtaking documentary about surfing on the Arctic. On Adventurejournal you can see what gear he is using to create his work.
