Re: A Bit More About the New Big White Lenses That Are Coming
So you've never actually used the A9 because if you did you wouldn't talk such crap. Owning a D500, A9 and 1DX and 5D4 knowing superb bird photographers that own 1DXII, D500/D850 and A9, the A9 is clearly the best AFing camera on the market, then the D500/D5/D850, then 1DXII, with 1DX and 5D4 pretty similar. The D500 and A9 can easily get shots that Canon has always struggled with. I don't run my A9 at 20fps, I use 10fps,a and the lock-on speed is insane and it sticks like shit to a blanket. I didn't think it could get better than the D500 but Sony has done a great job. I sold my 1DX after a few weeks of owning the A9.
Talys said:Yeah, that... Except when you have a big lens on the 1DXII and a 1.4x or 2x extender on it, in a real life venue that matters, like, say, an Olympic figure skating rink, the 1DXII will give you 14 in-focus frames every second, while the a9 will look like it's having a seizure trying to focus on something. Though yes, you can force the shutter to whir 20 times every second with a massive buffer to give you 256GB of blurry photos
In trying out a 1DX2, what I was really most impressed with was its AF speed in imperfect conditions. It was truly amazing (keeping in mind that at the time my best camera was a 70D).
