Max Yuryev has compiled some of the best and most balanced review videos around. He’s definitely not a fanboy of any one camera or camera system and he found the results of his comparison shocking.
- Sony a9 better for framing the shot
- Weight advantage over the D5
- Lexar cards are faster than the Sonys
- Silent shutter doesn’t distract subjects
- Didn’t see any banding
- Sony a9 focuses better in low light
- Menu system is better
- It lives up to its hype and even more
- You can shoot and zoom out at the same time without issue
- The a9 out focused the D5 in their testing
My short time with the Sony a9 very much mirrors Max’s. The camera is ridiculously responsive and very impressive in a lot of ways and if I never owned or shot an X-T2 I would probably be shocked at the progress. When it comes to AF this camera is definitely a step above every camera on the market, but will that be enough?
