Shooting With Sony's Killer A9 Almost Feels Like Cheating. If you’ve ever wondered how a photographer managed to capture the exact moment of an incredible end zone reception or the instant a bird takes flight, the answer, in part, is that the photographer’s camera also captured the garbage moments directly before and after that golden frame, with a very expensive camera rattling off photos at tommy gun speeds. For these professional sports and nature photographers there are two widely accepted options: The tippy top cameras from Canon and Nikon, with their big bulky bodies, incredible power, and the most advanced image sensors. Well, Sony finally has an answer to the incumbents in its A9. Not only is this full- frame, mirrorless camera smaller, lighter, and cheaper than the Nikon and Canon competition, it absolutely blows their doors off when it comes to speed. For those not entirely up on the high- end camera scene these days, here’s a quick catch- up.
In an arena that has been dominated by Canon and Nikon since pretty much forever, Sony’s star has been on the rise. It had been making solid mirrorless cameras for a while, but when its A7 series came out a few years ago, that’s when professionals really started to take notice. These were compact mirrorless cameras with sharp electronic viewfinders good enough to rival the optical eyepieces in DSLRs.
They also had very sensitive full- frame image sensors that could capture beautiful photos. When we say full- frame, what we meanis a 3.
Basically, the bigger the sensor, the more light it can gather. But while the A7 models and their successors could get professional results, they didn’t quite have the power the most demanding photographers require.
The A9 changes that. It’s like the A7’s track- star big brother—an undeniably pro- level shooter with a $4,5. The first thing to know is that the A9 is real small. At roughly 4 inches by 5 inches by 2. A9 is only slightly bulkier than Sony’s very svelte A7 series cameras. Canon’s high- end sports shooter, the 1.
D X Mark II is 6. Hell, even Canon’s mid- range professional DSLR, the 5.
D Mark IV is substantially bigger and heavier than the A9, and the same can be said of Nikon’s entries. It’s amazing how much Sony has crammed into that little frame. And of course, this thing is absurdly fast. It’s capable of firing off full- resolution 2. JPEGs at a blistering 2.
It sounds like a Gatling gun, unless you turn the sound off, in which case it is literally silent thanks to the electronic shutter (more on that in a second). Even when shooting in RAW + JPEG mode, I was able to fire off an 8 second burst at 1. The A9 is equipped with a wide autofocus system that covers more than 9. It is lightning fast and extremely accurate, even when shooting at its blistering top speeds. I tested it with running dogs and with people on a zip- line flying right at me. Even at a shallow depth- of- field (f/2.
Nothing else on the market comes close to this kind of performance. It’s bananas. But let me try to explain what it’s like to shoot with this camera. Not to get hyperbolic here, but it almost feels like you can’t miss. An example: I was walking by a creek with the camera dangling off my neck, powered off. I saw a golden retriever emerge from the water and start to shake itself off.
It has already started shaking before I’d hit the power button to turn the camera back on, and yet I was still able to fire off a burst of 1. My A7. S (which is by no means slow) wouldn’t have even gotten a single shot off in that time.
Using the A9 almost feels like cheating. I loved shooting long- exposures with it, too. Unfortunately, there was always too much moon and too much haze for me to try a nice, clear shot of the Milky Way, but I’m confident it would excel there. I did get a handful of shots while driving down Highway 5. Nevada (the so- called “Loneliest Road In America”) that I was really happy with. The above shot was a single exposure taken with the electronic shutter around midnight. I was side- lit by the moon and backlit by an oncoming truck (relax, it was very far away).
It was a 2. 0 second exposure at ISO 8. Obviously, I did plenty of tweaking in Lightroom, but I use this to show you just how much dynamic range is captured in the RAW photos. In terms of low- light I find myself shocked to say it’s nearly as good as the Sony A7. S (which has been my main camera for the last two years).
The low- light focused A7. S is a hair brighter, but noise levels are nearly identical, and the A9 has twice as many megapixels to play with (2. MP vs 1. 2MP). Sony’s image sensor does a great job of sucking up any available light even when you turn up the sensitivity that would ordinarily turn light into garbage. At ISO 6,4. 00 there is almost no noise at all.
Even ISO 2. 5,6. 00 is extremely usable, though you’ll probably want to use some noise reduction in Lightroom. ISO 5. 1,2. 00 could maybe do in a pinch, but at that point things are starting to get fairly chunky. ISO 1. 02,4. 00 isn’t the worst thing I’ve ever seen, but you’re better off avoiding it unless you’ve got a rare shot at Sasquatch or something. The A9 has mechanical and electric shutter options.
You can manually select either, but I’d recommend leaving it in auto. When shooting a single shot or a low- speed burst (5 fps maximum) it will default to mechanical shutter, which gives you a bit more depth in your RAW images (1. You’ll also want to use the mechanical shutter if you’re using an external flash (the A9 doesn’t have one built in). If you’re shooting medium or high speed bursts, the camera switches over to electronic shutter, which is also better for fast moving objects. When using the electronic shutter you can also shoot completely silently, which is almost eerie, but awesome. The A9 does a solid job with video.
It can shoot 4. K at speeds of up to 3. I will say, my least favorite thing about the camera’s design is that Sony put the video start/stop record button right next to the viewfinder.
I mean, it’s practically touching it. If you use your left eye in the viewfinder (as I was taught to do) your nose will absolutely, 1. It’s just about the worst imaginable place for that very important button to be. There are some other annoyances, too.
The A9 has two SD card slots, which is great, except for some reason only one of those slots supports UHS- II SD cards (i. The other one is stuck at UHS- I. Other grievances? Sony’s menu system is still extremely intimidating, to say the least.
The menu is a whopping thirty- six (3. Also, after shooting about 1.
K 2. 4fps video spread out over 4. I noticed that I was getting an overheating warning on the screen.
That’s not good. It still allowed me to snap photos, but I’m not sure what would have happened if I kept pushing it. Other users have been complaining about this issue, and it’s definitely something Sony needs to address. Well, do you have the need? The need for speed?
If so, then you’re not going to find a faster camera out there. The A9 costs $4,5. While that’s cheaper than the Canon 1. DX or the Nikon D5, unless you really, really need to be able to shoot fast- moving objects, then you’re probably better off with one of Sony’s A7 series cameras (get the mark II versions).
These are also full- frame, mirrorless cameras that take excellent pics, they just aren’t as fast. But if you’re a budding sports photographer and you aren’t already heavily invested in glass from another manufacturer, the Sony A9 is incredible in so many ways. I had so much fun walking around with this little camera (and the G- lenses.
My old A7. S is feeling so slow now. We regret the error. Brent Rose is a freelance writer, actor, and filmmaker, currently traveling the US living in a high- tech van, looking for stories to tell. Follow his adventures on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and at Connected.
