Sony Alpha 1 Review: The Apex Predator

Introduction

The Sony Alpha 1 is simply the most versatile camera ever made. It combines the resolution of the A7R series, the speed of the A9, and video specs that rival cinema cameras. If you can afford it, it does everything.

Performance

With 30fps blackout-free shooting at 50MP, the A1 is a monster for sports and wildlife. The stacked sensor read-out speed is so fast that rolling shutter is virtually non-existent.

Autofocus

Sony's Real-time Tracking AF is legendary, and on the A1, it's stickier than ever. Bird Eye AF works at incredible distances.

Video

8K 30p and 4K 120p with 10-bit 4:2:2 color. The A1 is a fully capable cinema camera in a mirrorless body.

Verdict

The "One" to rule them all. It's expensive, but it replaces three other cameras in your bag.
