"If someone can't get one good shot in a sequence at 20 fps, I'm ready to bet"

I am willing to bet that you've never used such a camera. The purpose is different poses. This includes fast birds...

I would never in a million years add a grip. It is archaic design from when they could use the extra power to flap mirrors faster. I could shoot thousands on a single battery and a second battery...

I mean TRU, you also predicted that sony would be crushed and leave photography, that sony couldn't design f1.2 lenses, and that Sony cameras couldn't be used in rough terrain in the Amazon, when...

They do. Canon and Nikon users comment in every single sony announcement or review. Every. Single. One.

Double post.

If the IQ is there, this is slightly superior to sony due to magnification.

The z9 definitely leapfrogged in weight, nearly double the a1. Unfortunately, nonenof that weight contains 30fps raws. Downgrades to jpegs from the soon to be 1 year old sony a1. And that evf....

With the z9 and r1 being vaporware, the A1 has been taking advantage of this for nearly a year already.

As a young man, the bulk and weight is a nonstarter. Young people want lean and sleek. This is 2015 era dslr clodhopper style.

Gritted teeth? 30fps jpeg only and double the weight of the year old A1(by the time this releases). This announcement made the A1 look even better. Worse evf by far.

He is right. Canon and Sony are neck-and-neck for marketshare whereas Nikon has plummeted precipitously. They don't need to do this. Still a smart move, but it is likely due to their poor position...

30fps jpegs, a year after sony, with double the weight is a game changer? A1 must have been a blow the doors off the house game changer then!

Double the weight and increased bulk= Worse body.
Worse evf, 30 fps jpegs. Disappointing and kind of embarrassing.

The make believe "pro" worship, as always, is over the top. Old people, who...

Nearly double the weight of the A1, hugely bulky, and 20 fps raw(Would never shoot 30fps jpegs) makes this a disappointment. At least they are slowly catching up technologically. It is a step in...

This is wonderful competition finally for the 2017 Sony A9. I am very glad that there is finally some competition in this space. Consumers will benefit in the long run.

Want me to link you the A1 video of national geographic in the amazon? Or the F1.2 lens of Sony? Or Sony's market share? Flee brave sir robin! Avoid avoid! Deflect! Ignore! ...

I am joking of course. The reality is that I will announce that I might make an announcement soon of a response to TRU. At this point, I will announce the possibility of announcing a response to...

Notice that TRU tries to make himself seem impartial. Meanwhile he predicted that sony would do so poorly that they would pick up and leave photography. Then he boldly claimed that Sony could not...

There is no hype. Just 9 months of marketing in a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding. A confident conpany simply announces and releases.

As someone curious about these two lenses in comparison, what has led you to choose the 80 more often lately?
