Where do you live that the 50 1.2 is twice as expensive as the 50 1.4?  In the US, 50mm 1.4 is $1500 and the 50mm 1.2 is $2000. That's bonkers. I agree with you in that I wish they made the 50mm GM ...

Ditto. Since Sony developed the "Tracking" AF type, you don't need to custom assign a button "eye AF" since "Tracking" does it all, as long as you have eye and face detection turned on. EDIT: As I ...

I went through two copies of the 35mm f/1.4 ZA before getting a third copy which wasn't insanely decentered.  That's the only time I had to do this with lenses.

Ditto. Tony Northrup is just a not-so-good photographer running a very divisive channel who's audience is folks who do not have a lot of photographic experience, and I don't care to support that.

Me, on the other hand, have ended up pushing the camera to over 25,600 in post with perfectly usable, and pleasing results for me.  I would never do this with my A9, which is my second camera body. ...

I'd rather f/2-2.8 sooms or f/2 zooms in a similar size than making the camera smaller than it is.  It's already really small.

Yes!  The firmware makes the A1 a camera I can absolutely recommend now.  It's solved basically all of the issues I was having with mine (IBIS and EVF) which were pretty crippling, so that's ...

By applying a digital crop to your photos, yes.  So for me, it's not a usable option.

You know I've been testing for the last few minutes and I still can notice a difference on my A9 and my A1 when the ibis kicks on.  With the A1, it's much, much faster now and mostly resolved, but ...

Hooray!  Updating my A1 now, so excited to go test it out.  And dude it was all you buddy - you did the heavy lifting, and now we have fixed cameras (fingers crossed)!  Thank you!

Ditto that, just wait for the A9 to go on sale at B&H for $3k!

Go ahead and post a video!  Can't hurt.  Also, in my e-mail to Sony Pro Support when I sent my camera in for repair, I linked them to the original BIS thread so perhaps it would be better to post ...

I'm a little unsure what you mean. Are you saying you think the shake in The Art of Photography's video is just from using a long, stabilized lens? If you really think that's the issue, then ...

I can't speak for the OP, but in my own experience, there were no settings I could use to mitigate the IBIS problem.  It was always, "sometimes" present.

The OP has gone through a lot of reviews, and found evidence of IBIS not working correctly.  There's one in particular by the guy who does the videos The Art of Photography where you can pretty ...

That's an interesting idea!  I'd try but my A1 is still in for repair being evaluated. :(

Yep, here ya' go.  My entire portfolio has been shot with an A9. https://www.josephscheller.com/

Ditto what Cavig said. The A9 is a very, very different camera than the A7R IV.  If you do any kind of photography where you need the reliability of a silent anti-distortion shutter indoors, then ...

You can sometimes get away with AUTO ISO for stills, but for video I think it's a really, really bad idea. I mean, AUTO ISO is what ruined the clip you linked above, so unless you want to keep ...

How did I misrepresent what you said? You said it's technique. Maybe what you're looking for is a different word if you don't meant that? And don't play this game with me. Petty name calling? I ...
