Early Hands On - Sony a9 & 300mm f/2.8 GM

I just spent 36 hours with the new Sony a9iii with its global shutter and the new 300mm f/2.8 GM OSS Prime. In this quick video, I give some feedback on the groundbreaking new sensor, pre-capture makes you a master sports photographer and the 300mm prime is going to sell well.

The most interesting aspect of this launch? How will the industry respond? I love Sony for pushing the envelope of what is possible and propelling the whole industry forward.

[@holmespun]

Looks amazing. Been waiting to replace my A9ii.

[@steven871]

The next time I have14 grand lying around , I’m going to buy this camera, this lens, and the Tele converter

[@TimLucasdesign]

Hey, cool new set!

[@pentagramyt417]

So pre-capture mode probably in A7-V, and A7R-VI. I really wish also something like A6900 came up, with pre-capture and stacked sensor.
Nothing else needed for me.

[@Tae-Ted]

Hi PhotoRec TV
Do you know that the a9iii able to be shooting video 4K60p in APS-C crop mode ?

[@photorectoby]

I believe so.

[@JohnChvatalGSTV]

Did you try panning shots with a slow shutter speed to bring out motion blur?

[@photorectoby]

I had a plan but when I came back to the courts they had wrapped up. There is no reason that should be any different.

[@cking74sg]

I am waiting for a 1.4x to 2x (or 3x) tele convertor in the future! :P User don't have to carry 2 or more convertor and also, more range!

[@photorectoby]

That is a very interesting idea!

[@UltraPatate]

Your mic sound awesome at the start of the video, what's the brand please

[@photorectoby]

I keep meaning to review - it is a fairly inexpensive Mailada X5 Wireless Microphone. The key is to use Adobe Audio Enhance and it just makes it all better.

[@truthseeker6804]

120fps for only 1.6 second is silly. im more interested in how long it takes before buffer at 60fps. if that can run unlimited then its a game changer.

[@photorectoby]

That's an excellent point and I did not test :( Eager to hear what others find.

[@petrub27]

is there any bulb mode?

[@apkossowski]

All very nice.. very promotional but what about us users with their top tier cameras and the firmware debacle? A1 user...

[@CamillaI]

I have to see more but may even replace my A1 with this Camera . Global Shutter, Pre capture and full frame video 🤔tempting

[@Q_QQ_Q]

A1 update coming up

[@photorectoby]

@@Q_QQ_Q Yes but A1 update will not add global shutter, pre Capture or change full frame video at the higher FPS. That said - I am still excited that we are going to get a firmware update.

[@photorectoby]

All depends on what you shoot and how many MPs are the sweet spot for your work. When I put down the a9iii and went back to my a1 there was a sense of loss. :) That precapture is sweet.

[@CamillaI]

I feel your loss, that Pre capture is one heck of a feature @@photorectoby 😥

[@CamillaI]

Spring update and the A1 mark II 18 months - 24 ? @@Q_QQ_Q 🤔 Could be dead by then or still going through my 120 frames per second in Lightroom 😄

[@willie1001]

No slideshow this year?

[@Twobarpsi]

What ISO speed would you need to shoot at 2.8 in daylight at 1/80,000s?

[@klejdikd7326]

I think it will be very high ISO but it can sync with a flash at that exact speed

[@MannyG32968]

Ready to replace my A7RIV!

[@AT1754]

Are you a Sony guy now? I always thought you were team canon

[@HaimGreen]

Iso 250 lowest ?!

[@photorectoby]

Yes. In my testing I saw nothing that caused me concern at the higher ISOs when shooting JPEG. I have 10,000 and 12,800 samples and they look as good as my a1 if not better.

[@angryrabbitproductions1690]

Good preview. But point of order:
• Sony was not first to create the Global Shutter sensor… all CCD sensors are global shutter. And other camera manufacturers have offered cameras with CMOS global shutter sensors.
• Canon… not Sony, created the first full frame global shutter sensor… Canon has been selling their full frame global shutter in their sensor catalog for almost a year now.

[@photorectoby]

Thanks

[@RW_CreativeMedia]

What Sony say, that’s first one on a Mirrorless and FULL FRAME camera to have global shutter. Thanks.

basketballers? what the heck
