A Review of the Powerful Sony a1 Mirrorless Camera

The Sony a1 is here, and it has caused a ton of waves thanks to its ridiculous specs. It has started to reach the hands of some users, and this fantastic video review takes a look at this powerhouse and the kind of photo and video performance you can expect from it in practice. 

Coming to you from DPReview TV, this great video review takes a look at the new Sony a1 mirrorless camera. No doubt, with a 50-megapixel sensor, 8K video, 30 fps burst mode, and a lot more, the Sony a1 pulls no punches, and it should certainly be able to handle pretty much any photo or video situation you can throw at it with ease. Add in features like five-axis in-body image stabilization and the company's latest and greatest autofocus system, and it looks like Sony has another winner on their hands. Of course, the a1's price point is quite high, on par with flagship cameras from Canon and Nikon, but for Sony users who need (or want) the absolute best the company can offer for both photo and video work, it seems you certainly can't go wrong with this camera. Check out the video above for the full rundown.

What would it take to provide some original content..? Rather then a perspective already uploaded the other day by Jordan at DP. If this article is appearing “today”on Googles home page the content should ideally be fresh, and original. This happens far too often on Fstoppers. Can you simply post some original views, photo examples, or something not already published on the alpha 1. It can’t be that challenging. Otherwise, why come here.

Would be nice for original articles instead of linking to other videos just to generate extra content.

Regardless of what you think about the camera, that was an excellent review from a really great presenter. He came across so well and did the thing that a lot of presenters fail to do, connect with the audience. Good job sir.
