It seems that 1 also has the meaning of a starting point for the future and one and only for users.
New full-size mirrorless “α1” announced by Sony early today。Effective pixel count 50.1 millionAlthough it is a high-pixel machine, it exceeds the α9 series, which has been the continuous shooting number length30 frames / secondAppearance with a strong speed.The video is also the first in the α series8K30PThe direction of the ultimate one that can handle all kinds of shooting. The phrase is “a camera that opens up the future.”
Actually, there has never been a camera with this direction in the α series. The fields of responsibility are divided into the α7R series for high-resolution cameras, the α9 series for high-speed shooting, and the α7S series for high-sensitivity shooting, and Sony never said that it was a flagship. However, that point has changed this time. Sony has stated that the α1 is the flagship, and it is a camera that was born as the pinnacle of the α in both name and reality.
Since I was able to touch such α1 lightly, I will introduce what the actual machine was like, how it was in terms of performance, and what kind of impression it had.
The body is a professional α9 series

The appearance is similar to the α9 II. There is a dedicated dial to switch between drive mode and AF mode, and there are many custom buttons. Equipped with everything you need for input / output ports.
I was worried that the weight had increased by about 50g, but this is an ant. Since it is a high-pixel machine, large-diameter (large, high-performance) lenses such as GM lenses are appropriate. This time, I tried using a 24-70mm GM lens, but the weight of the lens and body was about the same, so it was well-balanced and easy to handle.
EVF that makes use of AF that has exceeded the detonation velocity and has become a divine speed
In terms of performance9.44 million dots refresh rate 240fpsAfter all the strongest specification EVF was amazing. You can see the subject firmly even if you shake the camera at high speed without cluttering or roughening the image. Of course, it supports blackout free like the α9 series.
Equipped with two latest image processing engines “BIONZ XR”AF accuracy improved by 30%It seems that it is doing. The focusing speed is ridiculous. Originally, Sony’s AF had a feeling that it could only be called detonation velocity, or God speed.
AF / AE processing 120 times per secondBut with this EVF, you can clearly see the effect. Even if you keep releasing the shutter while shaking the camera, you can see that it will shoot by carefully selecting the focus location for each image while finely switching between real-time eye AF and normal AF.
The total impression is that you can shoot without any discomfort even if you take super continuous shots. Of course, it is very difficult to take advantage of this performance. You will need to dive into fairly severe situations such as shooting wild birds in various sports and extreme situations.
I couldn’t take an example this time, so please see the official introductory video for the pictures you can take.
Maybe we need a “camera that can shoot what we couldn’t shoot”
Sony people say “I wanted to be able to capture the “movement of the subject while the shutter is released” that I had missed so far.I thought it would be true for this word. It seems that there is certainly a “future to open up”.
In the case of photographs and videos, if you extend the shooting conditions with a camera like α1, it should be easier to create new expressions. This is because new things will be realized by combining various methods, subjects, and situations.
Why does Sony make cameras that look over-engineered? I think it’s for people who create new things.
