Sony a9 + 100-400 Announcement - obican - 04-19-2017 And now the stuff they didn't think were headline worthy: -You can recall memorised settings via a custom button, while the button is held down. You shoot what you want to recall (ISO, metering mode, focus mode etc.) and assign those to a custom button of your choice. While that button is held down, the camera will act accordingly. So you can reach your MR1/2/3 modes on the top dial without changing the shooting mode. -You can save camera and shooting settings to memory cards and recall from there. Good for ones having multiple cameras, right? -You can set file naming scheme. No more obligatory DCS_ at the start of every single image. -PC Sync port. Because why not? I'd rather have a proper remote/USB/charge port. -673g with that extra big battery. Impressive. Sony a9 + 100-400 Announcement - Klaus - 04-19-2017 The MTFs look pretty good here: https://www.sony.com.au/electronics/camera-lenses/sel100400gm But at 2500US$ they better should anyway. Sony a9 + 100-400 Announcement - Klaus - 04-19-2017 Video about the sensor - seems as if they solved the rolling shutter issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Q-nzcf8Pkw&feature=youtu.be Sony a9 + 100-400 Announcement - Brightcolours - 04-19-2017 The sensor has a global shutter. So, no rolling shutter issues. The camera has a mechanical shutter with 1/250th sec flash sync. Also worth mentioning: 4K using FF width. Looks like Sony has a processing power advantage over Canon and Nikon. **edit: apparently no global shutter, but other tricks to speed up read out for "minimal rolling shutter".

Eh, that's the least of my worries concerning that piece of multitasking port but is very strange indeed. Sony a9 + 100-400 Announcement - toni-a - 04-20-2017 No mention for x sync, would it be same 1/180, that's not enough for outdoor flash. CMOS read line by line, we have no clue how electronic shutter will handle flash, for fashion and weddings we need flash, we need high x sync, any clue about them?

Maybe it´s a temperature thing - USB 3 tends to run hot. Sony a9 + 100-400 Announcement - Guest - 04-20-2017 Quote:No mention for x syncA9 X-sync 1/250 sec |
