Sony A1 Camera Body

As the Sony A1ii has come on the market the price of the A1 is coming down.reading all the burr on A7rv was going for that one then read a1 will knock it out the park and out do it.so looking on sites LCE came up with one low shutter one gave me a good price on my A7iii.so got mint A1 way be low half price happy customer.

As a long-time a9 user, I had pondered about buying the a1 for well over a year.

Finally convinced by the 50MP sensor, I took the plunge a few weeks ago. As the camera will primarily be used for wildlife photography, the flexibility to crop images in processing, or using the in camera crop sensor (1.5x focal length) gives me many options without losing out on image quality which sometimes happened with large crops on a 24MP sensor.

The menu took some getting used to, but this is a much more sophisticated camera than the a9. The in-camera guide is very useful!

In terms of ergonomics, I have small hands but have adjusted to the slightly larger a1.

Image quality is great and a few test video recordings look promising.

I have used the other systems and decided Sony offered what I needed, and how right I was. Quality, customisation and functionality, what a camera!!!!

The best camera all in one amazing quality and great picture

Everything I was hoping it would be. Reassuringly superb resolution.

The difficult part of purchasing this camera was deciding whether I could justify the price, and I am still ambivalent about that. It is a complex beast to set up but having done so everything appears to work as advertised. Aviation photography is my main area of interest and the autofocus is superb; locking on to subjects better than my previous A7R5. The camera is comfortable in the hand, even with a 100-400 GM attached. No negatives so far...except that price.

I bought this a month ago coming from being a Canon user for nearly 15 years quality of photos are amazing. Getting used to menu system which because you can customise all buttons the way you want is good

Brought this as my first go to body to use, I cannot see myself using the A7R iv that much now, the focusing is fast and accurate, way better than other systems I've had in the past, the picture quality is superb.

This is a brilliant camera, with lots of functions and impressive performance, all in a small footprint compared to the big mirror cameras. The five further GM lenses I plan to get have impressive specs too, benefitting from the lower f-numbers achievable on wide-angle lenses with mirrorless cameras. Superb!

I have had the Camera from 11/10/23 it’s easy to use once you read about it, Sony send emails and explain all you need to know. I changed from Canon D5 v thats a good camera but the detail on the flying birds that I really love taking are great. I really was impressed, I love it
