Hello.~
Is there any users for above cameras?
I am currently using Nikon system, thinking to switch to Sony or to purchase D5.

Sony Alpha A9 has a blazing fast 20 fps compare to D5, yet will it be long lasting?

Any suggestions?

Thanks!!

not bad actually for the Sony A9 if you compare to nikon D5 compare to size and also performance is very good

what do you shoot most of the time? for wildlife/ sports, i would suggest Nikon due to the lens choices. long telephotos are still quite limited for Sony system.

the only 2 cons i can think of the Sony A9 over the nikon is

- Battery life
- Lens choices

Battery life as reported by many reviewers doesn't seem to be as bothersome as before now though.

usually I am taking photos for events/talks, which most of the time in dark surrounding and may be far away from the performers on stage. Fast fps is good for me too as it is able to capture photo while performers are dancing.

what focal length (lenses) u require?
Personally i prefer D5 (I wish )

Battery life and ergonomics can be extended with a genuine grip for the A9 as well.
Lenses range are filling up the gaps now.
Tested the silent continuous mode yesterday, I didnt even realized it already taken pictures.

Switching means including lens. Do u already have a sony lens in mind?
