The Sony A9 seems to be a real good camera. But dear Sony…you what would really be a Killer camera? The Sony A9r! That camera got four times as many votes in our poll. So please give us as soon as you can a new High Megapixel camera with 60-70MP, 5-7 fps, and the same A9 body.

From what I know the A9r is not coming very soon (which means not on the market within 3-6 months). And based on the first A9 reviews it would be nice if Sony could fix/improve some things too: Mainly improve the touchscreen functions and reduce the buffer time lag. SAR readers can comment this post with their suggestion and I am sure Sony is reading you ;)

Note: It’s yet unclear if the new camera will be named A9r or A7rIII (my bet is on the latter).

We have our own Facebook groups and pages you can join:
Sony A9 group and Sony A9 page
Sony A9r group and Sony A9r page
Sony A7rIII group and Sony A7rIII page
Sony A9s group and Sony A9s page
The difference between group and page: On The Group you are an active member that can post own stuff. On the page you will find our own A9r or A9s news only.

Cameta interviewed a Sony manager and here are a few news:

1) First he confirmed that they are working on new telephoto lenses
2) More weather resistant than the current A7 series cameras (you can shoot with the A9 in the rain)

And now to the very bold claims we have to verify in real life yet:

1) Canon lenses will autofocus faster on the A9 than on Canon cameras
2) Almost the same High ISO performance of the A7s
3) Says the A9 suffers of less overheating than the competition

Annoying:

He said having two UHS-II card slot are unnecessary (SAR note: We ALL disagree)

Whenever someone complains about Sony service I know that this is a very delicate matter. I know that I don’t have access to full facts and I know that we are only hearing the “victim’s” voice here.

But I know Ole Johan Aanestad is an honest guy and he deserves to be helped on that matter. So please Sony, help him.

Eak: “2 things:
– Apple has released iOS 10.3 and Mac OS 10.12.4 with raw support for Sony A6500.
– I did a ISO video comparing Sony A6500 and my previous camera Canon 550D with same kind of objective. https://youtu.be/z_JIdvuO6ic“
