f/5.0 is not very challenging at 200 mm and 10 - 20 m distance

There are many other samples also out there, supporting that the auto focus is really up at high end DSLR level.

of what the A9 can do, it indeed looks that Sony is catching up with Canon/Nikon, it's promising for the future.

If possible, could you make a serie with the kingfisher involved?

thanks for sharing ijsvogel

With the Sony a9 I understand how people might have felt with the moonlandings.

I have no issue with the AF on my A7RM2 for what it is used for.

Many of the accomplishment that the sony a9 can do will still be basic for DSLR. These are baby steps in a relatively new technology. It's a small step for Sony, but a great step for mirrorless.

No doubt - just wanted to highlight that parallel running dogs at f/5 with 1-2 m DOF are no real challenge - and my 5D II was known for it's o.k.ish AF (to make it sound better than it was) ;-)

Absolutely agree. I want even see how it works with a 400 f2.8 and its DOF and with poor light. Good to see A9 works with good light and 200 f5 but sports takes place in a variety of places. Hope Sony keeps improving. I really enjoy my A7II but I can't give up my Nikkor 400 f2.8 yet.

Best regards.

couldn't agree more - there's an old saying - in the land of the blind the one eyed man is king - looks like the A9 could be more than the one eyed man - at least this test is promising and i hope we will get fast tele primes soon from Sony to see 300 or 400 f/2.8 in fast action at dimmer light samples!

This test proofs a capability that is easy to fulfill - I'd not be surprised to see my A7RM2 being able to do the same thing in the initial setup of 200 mm, f/5 and parallel running dogs - just no compare to an arbitrary sport like mercian Football in a dim stadium with ultra fast 300-500 mm tele primes.

The 400 f/2.8s are just monsters in performance in the right hands - I went for the 300 f/2.8 due to weight and size reasons.
