Best all round camera ever made. And still compact enough for almost all use cases. Not bad.

Love the GM lenses combo of excellent IQ, AF Speed, compactness

You forgot to mention that A1 does all that in a compact format without overheating issues that some larger bodies have.

"The S-line lenses have dual AF motors and designed to move separate element groups thus halving distance to travel. They are extremely fast."

Did you try the 85/1.8 or the 20/1.8? No speed demons.

"interesting to see how much speed Z9 will provide, especially with Z-lenses, many of which are not 30fps capable"

Yes it is unfortunate they have buildt the system for speed, the lens eco system...

Good with compact and cable free option

correction: when its cold weather and you start the camera cold you'll get Canon 8K downsampled to 4K

A7iii is 3 years old and still in 2021 outsell all Z-cameras combined. Not bad.

"by the Olympics, barring some new unforeseen catastrophe"

Great, looking forward to a Z-camera with stacked sensor...

@ FutTeng - you are probably right. The photographers don't understand anything. Its a giant misunderstanding that the "long-in-the-tooth A7iii" is nr1 top seller right now at Amazon, and that...

The track record from Nikon last 3 years is that they are getting further and further behind Sony and now also Canon. It would be great if that changes, there is just not any proof of such a change...

@ wjan - its great if Nikon releases an A1 equivalent before summer. There were rumours a year ago as well that D6 would arive for the olympics and that the D6 would be so much ahead of everyone...

Z7ii has terrible rolling shutter, bad AF, Nikon are several years behind in key tech. Z7ii takes excellent stills on static targets though.

Unfortunately it is unlikely Nikon has anything like this in the next 3-5 years. They won't have the sensor tech needed any time soon.
And sad as it is, Nikon has not produced anything tech...

@ Carlos1956 - Rubberdials is correct, the top notch stacked sensors (A9, A9II, and probably A1) are only used in Sony cameras. Same goes with the high performant sensors in A7rIV and A7sIII. It is...

The A1 sensor seems to be something else. Looking forward to tests and reviews.

its the most complete mirroless system

:-)

Considering the A1 speed its a good thing Sony has been mindful about superfast AF motors in many lenses including their GM lenses 400mm, 600mm, 135mm, 35mm, 24mm, 12-24mm, etc. They seem to think...

Nikon is missing in action :-)

Canon hasnt even catched up with the A9 (2017) sensor readout speed and rolling shutter performance. How would they surpass the A1 sensor that is significantly faster than A9?
