About me:
Photography is a side-line, fashion photography as a job (won awards), portraiture and street photography as an "amateur" hobby. Strangely I "create" pictures, but on the long term, I discovered other things in my pictures, I am not constructing them or choosing them, when I look at the past 20 years, they have things in common, the creation is probably more than the creator, even an hidden part of him... |

He gives simple and effective tricks, to quickly obtain a great quality-level!
He's not pretentious, and he's playful with it's subject, willing to try new things, it's hot!
I would love to try them and play with liquids on the glass.
Seems everyone have a good reason to increase greenhouse gaz.
Wether it is to save the planet, or to photography it, everyone think they have the privilege to destroy it more and more.
Good article, good intents, but weak values.
Smartphone also makes great pictures in reduced size. 1920x1280?!?
Are you kidding me????
Thanks Google!
Maybe maintaining FX libraries cost you so much it might disrupt your business.
But how many business will you disrupt?!?
PS: now it's clear, google will do what others did, stop products after pushing it hard for people to use it. Is Android menaced?
It's candid photography, in a good sense, just framing using our eyes through an OVF, and pushing the button when it's time, JPEG, no post-processing.
When I am in vacation, in true vacations, I like to act this way, except I shoot RAW and post-process them a little (using LR), with a simple compact camera.
Drazen Stojcic Buntovnik: Over here in Europe, Croatia, you don't need to register anything to enforce your rights. You become the author of the image as soon as you take it and you cannot give up that authorship to third party for as long as you live. Basically, you just need to have sufficient evidence that you are in fact the author (full size res, proof of purchase or the camera itself image was taken with, other photos taken at the same time etc.). You can register with intellectual property office if you want, but the law specifically says you become the author as soon as the artwork is created regardless.
Same in France
It's exciting, I hope it also choose the framing and could be paired with a drone, to automagically takes the most fabulous pictures ever.
Why are some still trying to makes pictures by themselves or even learn the art of framing, the manual controls, when AI is around the corner? ;)
What if the sensor peels? ;)
iAPX: So now we know the lifetime expectancy for a Leica M9 : 5 years.
My old Nikon D300 had a better warranty out-of-the-box (and is still in use, 10 years later).
@Tom_A hating?!?
I hate when a company doesn't takes it's responsibilities when it sells broken products (happened with Canon, Nikon, Apple etc.).
It's deceptive at this high tag price, knowing that many owners worked really hard to be able to afford a Leica M9, when the company don't back their product and eventually their clients.

Provoking!
Sadly you need to add an OVF and an EVF to the price of many of them (they won't support external EVF), without having all the versatility and efficiency of the X100's hybrid viewfinder!
The magic of the X100, since they fixed the AF, is that every part of it isn't fantastic, but it's an awesome photographic tool, from framing to shooting in every light condition and obtaining great results each time, being in control of every parameter if needed.

Too funny!
mxx: I see nothing here that I would not have been able to take with my 1979 Pentax MX and some high speed film. (Probably with much more grain, I have to admit.)
@RubberDials you nailed it, the Pentax MX were slow, totally uncomparabl to Sony a9, but till some people obtained same,. or even better results. Figure it out.
davids8560: As a mere enthusiast who's trophy camera is a comparatively meek Pentax K-3, I feel I am very much the outsider looking in here - and having admitted as such, perhaps some of you will dismiss my comment out-of-hand.
But after looking at everything to do with the a9 announcement, and reading all the comments, I gotta say, and again, I say this as a mere observer, that the insights coming from the more strident Canon pro shooters are very convincing.
Perhaps Sony has awakened a sleeping giant.
From your Gallery, and the real focal lens, you already do it. Bravo!

@Davids8560 none of these tools are "trophy".
The way you use them make them tools, or not. And it was for every other camera the only way to consider them: how we use them, what we capture, what we build. I won't dismiss any camera, because at the end of the line, the results is just what's matter"
PS: look at my gallery, I even used Fuji F10, Fuji S7000, Pentax K10D, thy would be laughable by today standards, but they do photos.
Two business days turnaround, that could translate to 4 or 5 real-world days?!?
A serious photographer using these ones might loose more than the body cost during this time, if he/her haven't a spare body!
That's a clear answer to criticism about DOF and lack of fast lenses: they will come and they could be groundbreaking by using the MF potential (it's sensor size essentially).
I could not wait to see what will be the next lenses and the next body for this system!
iAPX: Lenses, long-term support (and a fast one), reliability, weather-proof, battery autonomy, this was totally true 20 years ago, when I bought a Nikon F4s.
Sony seems to be at ease with everything electronic.
But they don't seems to fit the bill for the pro photographer basic requirements.
I totally agree, and with 1500$ to 2000$ price tag margin, there is a place for a bigger, weather-sealed body, with bigger battery, to extend the system further.

Damage control from DPReview...
Angered fanboys from Canon Nikon are not clicking on the Amazon links anymore. QUICK, release a new article downplaying the previous one!!!
They have a lot of articles about the Sony a9, each one gives us part of a whole story, from different point-of-view, they are all worth reading and I find them balanced (enthusiastic as for any new great camera from others makers!).
The collective work of DPR reviewers is pretty interesting!
brycesteiner: >>but we tend to replace bodies one year and lenses the next.
Do the lenses really where out that fast? Even bodies pretty much last, but being computers, they become obsolete quickly.
I suppose they keep them only 2 years using them each and every day, sometimes in hash conditions, and resell them to try avoiding any fail during an event, that could be very costly (you never fail!).
