Video and photo workhorse
By far the best camera for a working photography and videographer. There are definitely are cheaper solutions out there if your doing one or the other and want to compromise on one side or the other but if you do both and want an edge over others with out having to have separate high end video and photo bodies. This gives you the best of both worlds in a small body with the ability to buy an battery housing to go for long periods of shooting or be as compact as possible when your on the go and want to be light. 8k video 50mp+ stills this camera can’t be beat for me personally already owning so many Sony glass the it was an easy choice but for someone looking for a professional workhorse this camera deserves a good look over before you choose canon. I love canon and own older lenses but choose to move over with the a73 and this camera made that choice a rock solid one. Only complaint is for the price it could of had a flip screen but still five stars

A Masterpiece!!!
This camera changed my life for the better! I remember way back when I got my first Sony cyber shot camera but now this Alpha 1 is top tier and I have be able to change settings quick and easy with the external functionalities! Sony really outdid themselves yet again!!! I took these photos of my 2022 ZL1 Exorcist Camaro with this camera!
