Steve Huff is very much a person given to hyperbole. I only visit his site occasionally because it is fanboys anonymous. I do like that it is not driven by negativity but the opposite is almost as tedious. He does love Sony and Leica however his paeans to the A9 are more fulsome than most. He is not entirely accurate in his description of the e-shutter in the A-9 but has succumbed, as many have, to the hype surrounding it. As he doesn't use flash much he completely overlooks the mortal origins of Sony's shutter. Yes the A9 is nice, but is not Jesus.

As a full -time pro I use a variety of FF cameras and have tested a number of others. In my experience, good technique with decent lenses makes most cameras on the market excellent performers. There are no pigs out there. This has been repeatedly demonstrated in blind tests of prints made from a range of cameras where experts could not pick the camera beyond the range of probability. Yes, FF may give you the last increment of IQ in some instances but in the real world these differences are invisible. Pixel peeping on a monitor at 200% will reveal differences but that is a pathetic and lonely pastime that advances your art not one bit. If the handling of camera makes you happier than another, choose that one because that is the one you will enjoy and use with pleasure.
