THIS! My thoughts exactly, it's a bit pricy, but honestly I don't mind saving up for this camera. It would make concert photos soooo much easier for me. used A1's were going for around $4500 and I was planning on waiting for this release before I bought one, and im glad I did.

Exactly! It will only be a few years before this trickles down to prosumer and consumer devices. GG Sony,

This is ABSOLUTELY game changing! This would have been so useful when I shot sports and theatre years ago! You are right, this is the “holy grail”

The issue at the moment with this camera for theatre production photography is the reduced dynamic range and higher noise levels than the previous two models. The real torture test will be photographing a musical, a play in a large theatre and smaller plays in fringe theatres under various brightnesses of lightings using all different brands of LED theatre lights. Photographing concerts is a simpler test for the camera.

Funny though. Jared is exhibit A thaf tech doesn't make you a good photographer. He would make a better investment if he put his money into an art and design course.

@@JimmySaul888 5-7 years I suspect. At least for anything decent. Maybe in 3 years some cheapy global shutter camera will be released but I suspect it would be crippled. I think for something like the R6ii with global shutter it will be 5 years. Canon and Nikon may not even have a SINGLE flagship with this for another 2 years (1 year if they are lucky). No way an afforable one will be selling in 2 years.

That tech will be on your phone in 20yrs.

24MP has been good enough since the Canon 80D days and probably even before that. But of course there might be some who need more. For me, 24/26 are totally ok. Exciting to see what the next A1 will do. The only time in my style of work that I found extra MP useful was at an indoor event in a pub on a loaner XH2. I didn't have the luxury of time to keep switching to my 75mm and so in some cases the 40MP came in handy in post. I must also say that I was really struggling with the horrible lighting there and Lightroom's AI handled the high ISO images really well. Having said that, for wildlife and birding, a capable high MP camera is of course amazing to have.

Y'know, I was disappointed when the R6 was only 20 MP but since I've had the opportunity to use it I'm realizing just how much you can really do with it. Plus, that sensor is a BEAST! And I'm betting that the Sony sensor is just as good. I've printed 24x36 with 20 MP and it looked great! I've seen huge prints of 24 MP photos that looked amazing! So 24 MP is more than we think. Of course, I still use my R5 when I really mean business...

24mp is good enough. But it's not the pnicacle.

Yeah, that is going to push the price of the A1 up over $8000.00 at least. That doesn't include if a new faster processor needs to be developed or if they have to upgrade from CFExpress A memory cards to CFExpress B cards.

24 mp isn't enough for wildlife, in my opinion. Even with a 200-600mm lens, I'm almost always cropping everything heavily. I'm looking to step up to an R5 or CR.

Same

Can't wait to see how Canon and Nikon respond to this!!

Canon shooter too, but weirdly I don't want this because of the insane fps (although that's super cool). I want it for the flash sync at any speed! That's insane!!

@@waynedennyphoto both are great reasons to have this

Yeah but at 6 Grand and then another grand for CFexpress type A cards and another 5 Grand for lenses to handle that speed for focusing. Canon and Nikon have nothing to worry about.

Around the same as Canon R5 C

Right..mirrorless cameras..Canon and Nikon have been playing catch with their mirrorless cameras for sure..Sony was what? two or three generations in at the time Canon and Nikon released their first mirrorless camera in 2018?..lol in my opinion though Canon is the closest and best "competition" to Sony..Nikon is even trying to catch up to Canon..haha

You forgot Nikon made the first camera (Z9) with no shutter…that a leap forward. So each brand forces other brands to catch up….not just Sony or one brand. We are going to see how Nikon and Canon answer this.

@@highdynamicphotographyfilm2235 New Nikons cameras have sensors made by Sony… so are the same , Nikons equal Sony Cameras with Nikon Glass . Nikons and Sony are like brothers.

@@ldmndz4652 with the Z9 4.1, both the Sony and Canon is now trying to catch up which one is the 2nd

@@ldmndz4652what? Canon and Sony still use shutters? Well Nikon use the shutter to protect the sensor from dust. Nikon has no need for a shutter global or otherwise. So the way I see it Sony is almost half way caught up to Nikon’s Z8/9 45 MPx shutterless cameras. What was the price of the Sony Canon and Nikon cameras?

Here's at least part of the story. The base ISO of 250 sets some of the DR question, because of course, every camera increases DR as the ISO increases. I can tell you why there's a base ISO of 250. Every 24 FF sensor will have basically the same size photodiodes on the sensor, producing essentially the same output. The photodiode output is continuous ... you need storage, too, because an exposure integrates light over time. So there's also a thing called a charge well -- in electronics, we call that a capacitor. It's a charge storage element. Every sensor has charge wells for each pixel on the sensor. When you shoot a photo at base ISO (no amplification), your base is basically determined by comparing what the camera does to chemical photography (there are detailed ISO standards nearly every company uses). So you have an ISO100 base if you can take essentially the same photo at ISO100. You'll also notice that as sensors get smaller, base ISO tends to increase. My Micro Four Thirds cameras have a 200 base ISO. Why would side matter? The size of the photodiode isn't the issue, it's the size of the charge well. Smaller photodiodes mandate smaller charge wells, everything being equal. In the same light, a smaller charge well will "overflow" sooner than a larger one. In shot, an ISO 100 sensor can store twice the charge per charge well, peak, as an ISO 200 base sensor. So this chip pretty clearly has smaller charge wells than your typical 24 megapixel FF sensor. Why? Well, I think part of it is the optimization for speed -- which is kind of the point of a global electronic sensor camera, eh? The camera exposes the sensor, charges up the charge wells, converts charge to voltage, reads those voltages out to an array of analog-to-digital converters, sends that data over a high speed bus to your camera's image signal processor and, voila, a photo! There's an inherent time constant with any charging or discharging of a capacitor in a circuit. To increase the base ISO, Sony would probably have to lower the top shutter speed and maybe (depending on any other bottlenecks) the sensor readout speed. Sony's selling a whole line of cameras. In fact, with the A7 series, they were really the first company to go after the idea of "you need more than one version of the same camera" at least to professionals. If your main need is resolution, you have an A7R. If your main need is DR, you have an A7S ... assuming, of course, you're a Sony shooter. They were pushing the idea that one size does not fit all in capabilities, rather than the high/low-end scale used by most companies. This is one more option for those who want this, knowing that any body choice represents some kind of tradeoff over other options.

Not Nikon, they got rid of the shutter on the Z8/9. So no need for a shutter- except to protect the sensor from dust.

@@ofeykalakar1 You know that rolling shutter is still a problem even on cameras without a physical shutter like the Nikon Z9, right?

​@@Davitor1are you going to now harp on by repeating the same one thing over & over. Tell us you're a Canon fanboy without telling us you're a Canon fanboy

@@alwynsmit3546 I'm a Canon fan boy, and not sure if you are a sony fanboy or canon hateboy. But before spending 6k on body and 1k on two cards, check the shortcoming of a global shutter camera. To start with global shutter camera are only front lighting and don't support BSI, have lower frame rate, have bad low light performance etc etc.

I don't think that it will. It's a machine for the new generation, basically, as Jared says people can't peek the decisive moment, you just point the camera to the action and shoot late, of course, at 120fps. One of the images is bound to be good, and most of the time great. The technology is amazing, and I don't live from photography so for me is all great.

Interesting to see global shutter pushing through. Nikon filed that patent for global shutter sensor with 1000fps and huge dynamic range couple years back. I'm sure Canon is coming up with their solution in R1. Sony didn't mention nothing about the dynamic range (usually always mentioned) and as the base ISO starts from 250 there might still be some cons on this technology

Wait for the A1 ii! They say it's registered a second top of a line, and until now, nobody really knew what new real development a new A1 could bring. Now we know, it's global registration and that awesome sync flash time that will expand creativity a lot 🎉! Just the samples, my word! Instead of 120fps, probably going on to stack images, for depth of field with blur effect for those macro shots! Well done Sony! You pull off an Ace in an era where all brands are great!

Because you can still use SD cards in the same slot

I love the fact that they do, because it means that I can use cheap SD cards when I don't need the speed. It's a bit annoying that type A cards are so much more expensive than type B though, I'll give you that. But that's not really on Sony, it's a result of not as many 3rd party manufacturers making type A.

@@photobunny It's the bus. Type A of the same Gen will never be as fast as type B (which is not as fast as type C). Just like PCie 4 is faster than earlier generations, and the old architectures can't even use them. A bit of mental math. A twenty five mp image at 16 bits will be at least 50MBytes. Twenty images is a gig. 120 images per second is 6GB per sec.

@@photobunny 120fps for 16 bit raw is 7gigabytes/sec so even type C is not fast enough to sustain it. There's probably a huge RAM buffer to hold the data before it goes to card. Type C could handle 100fps continuous without slowing down. Type B 50fps, and type A 25fps. So after your RAM buffer fills, I guess the camera will drop to 25fps. Next Gen type A may possibly raise it to 50fps, but the type C next Gen could handle 120fps without slowing down. And with a firehose like that shoving data, you are going to want big storage. We'll see when they measure it.

If Canon's new "flagship" isn't global shutter and higher megapixel sensor...they'd better rename it again, maybe the R3 II.....'cause if it can't beat this, it shouldn't be an R1. And if the new R1 is less than this Sony...they sure better not charge what they were likely thinking of charging for it...

Just as the other guy said. I fear another r3 demotion going to happen. But I’d be very happy to see canon just beating this camera so the other 2 will be raring to catch up

People are quitting Canon simply for their lens support.

it is not for consumers and chasing dogs. It is for sports and wildlife. Capturing the best shot when shooting a big sports event is worth big money, and worth sifting thru 120 shots for that great one. Plus, can create a slow motion video from photos alone. Imagine a perfectly clear, cropped, slow motion of a premier league goal. Fantastic.

@@VictorRagusila Wildlife shooters will probably want more resolution, as they often have to crop deeply, to isolate a flying bird.

Totally agree 🙂

@VictorRagusila I welcome the technological advance, but I can't picture why anyone would ever need more than 20 FPS. All these brands are competing the wrong battles, give me better image quality anytime over frame rate. Also, wish we'd have brighter, smaller, better IQ lenses as well.

I missed the part about focus stacking at high FPS. Is sony saying the camera can automatically adjust aperture between frames at 120fps? If so, that is an absolute game changer.

No flash sync is the biggest game changer for me. I can't wait until it is a standard in A7 series body. I wonder if we will see it in A7 VI or will we have to wait even later.

I don’t know anything about focus stacking on Sonys. Can they do that at full speed?

@@Eiheimany years away from being in an A7 body.

@@livejames9374 yeah, I feel the same. Global shutter will be probably the easiest ways for the camera manufacturers to differentiate between mainstream and their flagship models.

Low MP are not inherently good in low light. The a9/a9ii performed worse in low light than many higher MP cameras including the a1 as it had lower dynamic range. I'm also curious to see the sensor tests when the camera is released because I suspect the global shutter isn't going to be without some compromises. If not, kudos to Sony. Sounds like it will be around 5 months before anyone gets to find out.

the base ISO of 250 might be telling here...

@@astrotennessee I stand corrected - the smaller mps are probably just to reduce file sizes for FTP

For some reason, I have been under the impression that some of these cameras AREN'T meant for everyone. Each person has their wants for a camera. Unless you're a professional who's doing pretty well, this camera ain't for you.

Definitely prefer this to banding

Plus you can just choose what sign brightness you want by shooting a quick burst...

If I am correct they give you an option in the menu that watches for changing light levels and then counteracts on it. :)

Nikon can't follow. For many reasons: 1. They depend on Sony's mercy: why will Sony give a modern sensor to Nikon? 2. They don't have the money to fly around KZfaqrs, which means that the likes of Tony and Chealsy don't see anything special in Nikon's telephoto range 3. Nikon lacks an entry-level camera that can focus at least as well as the other brands did 5 years ago. They don't have a set of inexpensive lenses that one can recommend to someone starting photography. This means Nikon has issues attracting the new generations. This machine basically kills the Z9 and the R3 (but no one is going to underscore that, because Canon also flies KZfaqrs all around the world). Nikon could cut the prices 20% to try to compete, but they don't have a healthy source of income outside photography Sony and Canon have the costumer electronic devices etc. Sony can also invest in advanced technologies because they dominate the smartphone camera market.

It's not as simple as "stick a global shutter on it". An electronic shutter isn't really a thing, it's a process. It's clever timing between camera software and sensor readout channels. The design of the entire sensor is fundamentally different for a global shutter sensor. There have been various problems with them, including noise and low sensitivity.

Global CMOS sensors have typically been much lower resolution, lower DR, and noisier than their rolling shutter cousins. Canon's had one since 2022, but it's only 19.4 megapixels, sold for industrial applications. I sounds like Sony has solved most of those issues, but I think a reduced ISO range is something I'd expect, at least for the first generation.
