I'm right with you on all this! I have shot a ton of cameras and am amazed with how the A9 just puts a big smile on my face every time I use it, whether it is for wildlife, sports or portraits. I have never enjoyed using any camera as much as this one, possibly excepting my Leica cameras back in the 70's (you can look at my recent past camera list to see what I am comparing it to). While I was continually annoyed shooting the a7R's, and to a lesser degree with the A7RII, I have a tough time finding much of anything to criticize with the A9, other than the ergonomics that come with smaller cameras.
I am wondering if I will still want to shoot my A7RII when my A7RIII arrives, since Sony fixed nearly my entire wish list.

Yes I agree which is what my post was supposed to be about which is more Kudo's to Sony for continuing to push the envelope which helps everybody who has an interest in photography which we all enjoy.
I just get tired of all the negativity on TV, the internet on this forum it just gets to you once and awhile, sorry to ruffle anyones feathers that was not my intention. I come here to learn and share not listen to people complain and I apologise for complaining about complainers we all have more positive and uplifting things to do in our lives.
I will admit the complaints about the III are nowhere near as bad as the A9 which I am not parting with until their is a A9 II. I think it is a bit of a misnomer for many to feel it is a sports or action camera when in fact it is so much more.
The shots I have gotten from my dear Buddy who I put down unexpectedly Friday evening I got because of the fast AF and 20 FPS. The same with some great group and people pics. I find it amazing how one of the twenty frames is "The One" and how easy it is to get some really great non-sports or what you typically think of as action shots.
Children, pets, people are shot by most and I now use my RX100 V on 20fps when I give it to someone to take a photo of my girlfriend and I and we end up with much better photos. Sometimes it almost feels like cheating but we all know in the past we just got lucky sometimes. Nobody can push the shutter at precisly the right time or pick which 20th of a second to push the shutter.
To see this even at 10 FPS which nobody thought was possible myself included this quick is real exciting to me because I do prefer the 42MP for a lot of things. All the other stuff is just a really nice bonus I think the upgrade is a Major one and exciting and can't wait to get mine supposedly the end of the month.

Please do not put words in my mouth. Nothing can be further from the truth.
