New A9 tests (Card speed, wedding, golf shooting…)

Sony A9 SD Card Speed Test – RAW+RAW, RAW+JPEG & More – How fast is the A9 (Dan Watson).

Tom Beynon shot a wedding on the A9:

All in all I’m delighted with this camera. I can’t imagine using anything else and I’ve only had it a week. I just need Sigma to hurry up with that 35mm prime and my camera bag will be complete.

Shooting Golf with the Sony A9 by Admirinlight. On extremely fast objects like a golf ball he saw some banding and rolling shutter (banding can be eliminated via subtle blurring):

Still, the subtle warping seen above is light years ahead of any other electronic shutter, and really only shows up in specific circumstances. On the whole, the A9 was a joy to shoot with for golf. The silent shutter meant I could shoot whenever I wanted to, and the high-speed framerate gave me great choice in final images. Also, the big, clear viewfinder shows absolutely zero blackout and no lag when shooting, providing a continuous view throughout. I have a feeling you’ll be seeing a lot of Sony A9’s on the fairways in the next year or two.
