this is frequently done by other companies, notably Fuji & Apple. Any “reputational” risk is surely on the upside. It’s been pretty consistent that firmware updates (more than lens compatibilities) end when new iterations are releaeased, irrespective of underlying hardware. Hence commercial seems to be the only rational explanation
I didn't know that... do you know why? What about picture profiles than?
That's sadWould require dual XR processors and heat sink. Neither can be added by firmware.and 4k 60p
It's actually 37 minutes of 4K 60p (not 20) with internal recording and no overheating at all with external recording as reported by Undone...by the way I'm planning to do only short slow-mo of few min so I won't hit easily the limit of internal recording and in any case I could use an external record...and to be honest I better have 20 min of 4K 60p than nothing!
Hahahahaha
And the A9 got Real Time Tracking..
Given what the great Brian Smith said us just one comment below I've lost hope in my requests and so I'm joining you in wanting at least these tree points..
I'm not sure where you heard this but it's not true.
Sorry, laughed longer than I should) A9x are not for pixel shift, not even close.
When you stop laughing without a reason (Risus abundat in ore stultorum) you could explain me why on earth pixel shift should not be good for A9II??? Wouldn’t be nice to be able to use A9II in studio and get 100 mpx of detailed file? (As we can get an enourmus and probably less useful 240mpx file from the RIV)?
Pixel shift is a niche feature for hi-res cameras. There's no reason to add it to low-res cameras, nobody is gonna use it.
That's not true.. Olympus has it in their 20 Mpx Om-D cameras and they get a 50 Mpx file with a better implementation than Sony, so if just Sony wanted they could also put a pixel shift option in A7III and A9 cameras and get from 50 to 100 Mpx files..I would use it and like me I'm sure a lot of people would find it useful! So,again, It's a feature that can be added in all the cameras and as every feature someone can be interested in it and someone else can be less interest but for sure nothing to lough and for sure it's not up to you to decide if I would use it or not!
The new menu system is part of an entirely new OS designed for the dual Bionz XR processors and touch screen menu. I'd expect to see it on future XR cameras, but I don't expect the OS to be changed on current cameras.
Yes Brian, thx for being here and explaining us why we won't have new menus in current cameras...and we understand that, but I personally think it's a wrong choice from Sony..
Yup. It's important to remember that Sony a9 is designed for sports & action photographers.
Sorry Brian, but we don't have to think in close compartments, the fact that A9 was designed for sport don't really matter... I have a lot of colleagues that use it for weddings and events just because of the superior af, and I personally cover a lot of "Food " events where I could use the added benefits of a pixel shift image for some detailed food shots without having to carry my A7RIV with me as a second body...
And I would also add that's actually this close minded attitude from Sony that left space in the market for something like the Canon R5..a body that can do everything from product to events to sport!
If someone wants a Canon, or another brand, just buy it! No need for endless complaining to justify it to anyone else; just do it!
I'm not a Canon fan I'm actually Sony user since 4 years...I like Sony except ergonomics and Lcd and I would like to stay with Sony ..but I'm also a working pro so I'm free to choose what fit's best my needs..but that's too hard to understand for a blind Sony fan probably!
