It is my opinion that R5 is close to A1 for about half the money!
That is an interesting statement. I took the time to really think about it and, it is hard for me to justify the price difference, given the way I use my camera. Would you really spend almost 3K more to get the difference?
There must be someone willing to spend the money, otherwise they wouldn't have came up with the figure.
With that said, there is a feature or two that, my opinion, given how I use my camera, worth mentioning.
These are: 1/400th sec mechanical and 1/200th electronic sync speed.
I hope Sony users will finally learn how to use a strobe, given that they now posess the best tool to get available light contribution high enough for natural looking strobe work. At 400th sec, you can freeze any unintended model movement, for natural light contribution to go high enough.
Besides, the electronic shutter with strobe would deliver great ability for dynamic posing, even for dancers. Your strobe will flash 30 times per sec. I am wondering for how long and at what power. Godox will have to come up with something stronger.
I wish Canon would go for these two innovations on their future cameras someday.
