- Product Name: Alpha a9 Mirrorless Camera (Body Only)
- Color: Black
- Camera Model Family: Sony a9
- Digital Camera Type: Mirrorless Camera Body Only
- Imaging
- Image Sensor Type: CMOS (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)
- Image Sensor Size: 35mm Full Frame (36 x 24 mm)
- Total Pixels: 24 megapixels (Generally, the more pixels, the higher the image resolution and the finer the detail that can be seen.)
- Image Resolution (Display): 6000 x 4000 (Refers to the number of pixels, both horizontally and vertically, used to either capture an image or display it. The higher the resolution the finer the image details.)
- Zoom Capability: false (This function allows for magnification of the subject.)
- Digital Zoom: 4x (A digital zoom is accomplished electronically, with no adjustment of the camera's optics, and no optical resolution gained in the process. The existing data is not enhanced or added to, merely displayed at a lower resolution, thereby giving an illusion of an enlarged image.)
- In-Camera Image Stabilization: true (This feature helps reduce image blurring from camera motion. In-camera stabilization means the image sensor itself moves to counteract detected motion.)
- Low Light/High Sensitivity: true (High sensitivity digital imaging devices are designed to work in low light conditions to produce a high dynamic range image.)
- Image File Format(s): JPEG, RAW (Standardized software format(s) of storing digital images. The type of format chosen for capturing and compressing the image can determine quality, level of detail, and storage space required.)
- Focus
- Autofocus: true (Allows the camera to automatically focus through the lens, rather than by adjusting the lens manually.)
- Eye Autofocus (Eye AF): true (Automatically seeks out and focuses on the subject's eye and holds it as the camera and subject move and as the photographer shoots at high frame rates.)
- Exposure Control
- Shutter Speeds: Single shot, mechanical shutter: 1/8000 to 30 sec, Bulb; Auto: 1/32000 to 30 sec, Bulb; Electronic Shutter: 1/32000 to 30 sec; Continuous shooting, mechanical shutter: 1/8000 to 30 sec, Auto: 1/32000 (The length of time the shutter remains open when the shutter release is activated, expressed in fractions of seconds. The longer the shutter is open, the more light that is able to be captured by the camera sensor.)
- Brightness Control: true (Allows the camera to adjust the brightness of a captured image for optimal exposure.)
- Burst Mode: true (Also referred to as continuous shooting. This feature captures multiple shots in rapid succession.)
- Burst Rate: 20 frames per second
- Self Timer: true

A: Assuming you're talking about the a7rII, the a9 has a much faster burst rate (20fps vs 5fps), better autofocus system, and faster operation overall. Plus a larger battery, dual card slots, and ergonomic improvements like the joystick and shooting and af mode dials. The a7rII has more resolution, but is a sluggish body. I own both the a7rII and a9...they both have their purposes. The a9 is better suited for sports/action/events, and the a7rII is better suited for landscapes and posed portraiture.
A: I had the a7r3 as well for a short period of time. I found A9 to focus and hold better on a moving animal. More importantly with it 20 vs 10 fps you never miss any of the action shots. You then can pick the best where with the A7... you may have missed it. I had an a72 and A7s2 and the A9 is a far better camera. In instills a confidence in you that you will always capture that right shot. I feel the added cost was worth it.
Q: Which Best Buy store has this open box?
A: Hi Craig, You have to keep on checking the Best Buy website for open box items. 1 week after I purchased my A9 I saw an open box appear on the BB website. However, when I tried to click on it I would be directed to the new camera. I recall the open box was $2,399? I ended up calling the BB 1-800 number and a rep said there was some kind of mistake and the open box was not available. If you get the option to buy it now ( open box) I would pull the trigger and order it. I would assume if you inspect it at the store and something wasn’t just right you should be able to return it? When I ordered my 24-70 GM lens at a local BB I had to sign the signature pad that a restocking fee of 15-20% applied. I ordered my battery grip as an open box. I saved $50 and was able to use rewards. The grip was flawless. Good Luck! Mike
Q: Is this a Low light camera for filming in a dark club?
A: The a9 is a fabulous Stills Photography Camera. It excels at Sports Photography with spectacular AF Tracking. It's video is very adequate, however the Sony a7III outperforms the a9 in Video. Where the a9 excels is its Stills AF Tracking, more robust shutter and a better sensor for stills (That allows for better AF Tracking). Low light, the a9 is no better than the a7III. (The a7III has more video options and is chosen by pro videographers over the a9)
A: Do you mean Sony FE100-400mm? If so, I dont have this lens, yet. Though, from what I've been reading, this lens was build specifically for the A9 so I would imagine its designed to take advantage of all its features. It is THE companion zoom lens for the A9.
A: Hi 010203, The SEL70200GM is compatible with Sony A9. However, it is recommended to update the lens firmware to Ver. 02 or higher to improve the AF Track performance in Continuous Shooting mode. Here is the link for more information: http://support.d-imaging.sony.co.jp/www/cscs/accessories/compatibility.php?area=gb&lang=en&mdl=SEL70200GM&cat=3 -Jerome
