    No overheating?

    "You can record 8K/30p video or 4K/60p video continuously for up to 30 minutes." https://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/sony-a1/sony-a1A.HTM

    The only video shooting Sony has confidence will nor overheat is from a body with a fan (fx3, fx6, fx9).

    New firmware

    • Adds the Crop function to allow you to crop a recorded still image
    • Adds the Forced File No. Reset option in the File/Folder Settings (still image) menu to allow you to reset the still image file number and create a new folder
    • Other improvements
      • It is improved the phenomenon that some functions are not registered correctly in the Function menu

    In my opinion it is just a way to increase burst speed and duration for photographers that need it for a minute or so. When the president drives by or a marathon runner finishes. The A9 should have raw video too to get very high quality stills

    RKM what are you talking about?

    the 8k raw in the Canon R5 is of course for photographers. When you have to capture a hard to predict decisive moment you want a huge amount of photos to choose from. It is for extracting high shutterspeed stills. Not for video.

    if you need 8k, you can afford 8k. sensor would have to have good dynamic range though. i'm looking at you bm 12k with lousy DR, lol.

    Bigger body is not better
    New sensor, OK
    Dual card slot, not really a radical idea
    New menu system can't be worse than the old menus system
    No overheating is not really a feature, I mean, would you buy a car that overheats in a half hour?
    Price is about double what I would pay.
    Assuming it can record 10 bit internally H265, it might be interesting at a lower price.
    Four channel 24 bit audio would make it "pro."

    Fuck the a9 8k.

    That’s what I think .
