Yes, I know there is excitement over the new a9 camera from Sony. Seems like a worthy competitor to the Fuji X-T2, however, the price seems extreme at this point at $4,500 or almost 3x the X-T2.
So, I am wondering what it is about the camera that makes it worth so much?!? I mean no one has the camera as of yet for thorough testing and comparison.
Here is what Steve responded:
"This electronic shutter has no limitations like the Fuji or even older Sony’s. It is what I would use all the time in fact. Also, the Xt2 is not even close to this A9 in any way from IQ, to Speed, to Video to well, anything. Only thing the Fuji has over this is the Fuji look if that is your pref. This camera is like nothing else out there. It truly is."
Really?!?
I used to go to this site because of the in-depth analysis of cameras, lenses, etc. Seems Steve has "Gone Over to the Dark Side" and become nothing more than a "fan-boy" for both Sony and Leica. I really wish this weren't rue as I liked his more conversational tone and analysis based in real-world usage.
Oh well, another one bites the dust of useless rhetoric backed up by pure emotion as opposed to professionalism.
