The Sony a9 was a game changer when it was announced and still is a game changer today. Neither Canon or Nikon have released a camera capable of taking on this irresponsibly fast camera that sells at a pretty significant discount compared to its competitors. Even better today if you actually need the speed of the Sony a9 you can pick one up quite affordable on the second-hand market thanks to the number of photographers looking to get into the Sony a7RIII. Of course, both cameras are great technologically, but many didn’t need the speed of the Sony a9 and a lot of the useful speed from the Sony a9 actually made it into the Sony a7RIII. I personally ended up settling into the a7RIII, but if I ever needed 20fps I wouldn’t hesitate to pick up a Sony a9 again.
