The fact that Sony put out a camera that is incredibly comparable to the a9 for half the price is just amazing. That's why I bought the a7III and decided to go all in with Sony. They don't shoot their entry level stuff in the foot just to protect their pro line.

The EXACT video I needed. Appreciate it as always my friend!

Great Video. A73 seems like a beast of a camera. I would love to have one in my possession

[cooloox]

Great video, as usual. Nice to hear your comments on these 2 terrific cameras.

Can you share your settings for auto focus? I cant seem to mine to work. Takes forever to focus if at all.

[yosiomontes]

Can you post the indoor basketball gym? That would be great!

At 1:27 you chose to underexpose one stop and ISO of 250, may I ask why you made that two choices. I'm starting with sports photography and would love to understand. I only shot portraits so far with my a7iii. Thank you so much in advance!

Hey man, great stuff. Just wondering what AF Settings you were using for the 120fps scenes?

[raksh]

It looks like you're secretly shooting the game from behind a building and through the fence! Great tests, though. If you leave aside the A9, would you pick the A7 III or A7R III for sports photography and video?

Hi Danny,

Can you make a video talking about the new Sigma Art lens line up for the alpha e body?

Also, can you discuss the "creative picture" mode in the alpha 6000, such as how, and when to use, and best settings. There also a picture profile settings, not sure if thats the same.

Thanks!

This is great. I am currently shopping so like to hear this. My gf has an a7III and I am trying to get more into sports so maybe the a9 is the call. Just sucks that i can get the a7iii and a lens for the same cost as just the body of the a9.

Hello sir which pictures profiles do you used ?

[nmdk-design]

I shot with the A9 for 75 minutes a week ago and found that the ergonomics were troublesome to operate the camera. Firstly, I found that even with a compact telephoto, the G Master 70-200 f/4, my fingers were pinched between the bottom of the lens barrel and camera grip; so much so that it left deep red marks and impressions on my knuckles. Secondly, I found the positioning of the front command dial to be a problem as well; when holding the camera by the grip with three finges, there was not enough room for me to be able to fit my index finger in between my middle finger to actuate the command dial. If I tried to use my middle finger for the command dial, that only left two fingers on the grip which made the camera unsteady. Also, I found the camera body too small to be able to use a larger lens in a stable and secure manner. Would not want to shoot with such a small camera on a lens the size of a 300 or 400 f/2.8; the camera would just be too small.
