Dear Sony, can you finally discount the Sony A1?
Soon we will get our new massive Sony A1 firmware update. And I thank Sony for listening our requests to bring on new features through consistent fw updates. But here comes my second request. In the exact three years since the launch Sony did not ONCE offer any cashback or discount on the Sony A1. This despite similar cameras like the Nikon Z9 being priced at $1,000 less.
I think it would be great for Sony to cut the price by $1,000 when they launch the major A1 firmware. That way we can also create some buffer between the A1 and future A1II…unless Sony plans to price it at $7,500!
Sony A9III review at PcMag: “nothing quite matches the a9 III on the market for action photographers needs”
PcMag reviewed the A9III and concluded:
The camera is tuned for speed, both in terms of performance and capture rate, with 120fps Raw drive and an autofocus system that’s a little more advanced than that from Canon or Nikon. That said, picture quality lags behind contemporaries, and you pay a premium for the cutting-edge tech. High-level sports and action photographers understand that nabbing a moment perfectly is more important than some grain in an image, so nothing quite matches the a9 III on the market for those needs. But if you don’t mind a slightly slower capture rate or intend to roll a lot of video, the Editors’ Choice-winning Canon EOS R3 and Nikon Z 8 are both top-notch alternatives.
