Q: QuestionWhat can Sony-Alpha a9 do better than Sony-7R mirrorless camera?What is the difference between the two?The advantage and disadvantage of it?Picture,video quality and performance wise?
Asked by RandreamerShot.
- A:Answer 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.

Q: QuestionAny valid reason to go with an A9 now instead of an A7R-III? Especially for doing wildlife / field shots in Florida using stuff like a 24-240mm lens.
Asked by PhotoDave.
- A:Answer 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: QuestionWhich Best Buy store has this open box?
Asked by Craighead7.
- A:Answer 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: QuestionIs this a Low light camera for filming in a dark club?
Asked by Amina.
- A:Answer 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)

Q: QuestionAre there functional limitations using the sony 70to 400mm telephoto lens such as focus controls or exposure controls.?
Asked by Dick.
- A:Answer 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.

Q: QuestionCan I use FE 70-200mm F2.8 GM OSS on A9? I saw it said they are not fully compatible on sony's website.

However, it is recommended to update the lens firmware to Ver. 02 or higher to improve the AF Track performance in Continuous Shooting mode.
