Sony A9III vs A1 a Real World Comparison

[@MrEddieNunez]

This is the video I was waiting for. Initially the A9 III had me hyped up, but I am at the stage in life where I have way too much gear so I didn’t pull the trigger. Also, the A1 although it does have opportunities from a feature perspective, is still the flagship camera. And, this flagship A1 delivers some incredible results. Yes - features are nice, but usability and quality is superiors in real world use. A9III is hands down great for sports/action/wildlife photography, the A1 is still king as a best-in-class hybrid camera. Great video Jake. Full watch.

[@harryvuemedia]

A9iii is great for all types of photography, not just sports, action and wildlife. That GS sensor is a game changer for anyone who only uses E-shutter like me. The A1 is still a great camera and will continue to be a great camera. For sure the A1-ii will have a GS sensor.

[@JakeSloan]

I agree 100% Eddie! Thanks

[@sebastianjo752]

@@harryvuemedia a1 II with 50 mp and global shutter lower iso will be a game changer

[@BillyKzz]

have the A1 and bought the A9iii.. for my use case.. i'm selling the A1. The screen dexterity, the global shutter for indoor terrible lighting conditions, the stability, the button layout, the no need for HSS anymore are all huge benifits for my work.. but i can see where your work in the brightest conditions ever and what you're going after is more suited for the A1. i do have an A7RV as a stills companion at 61MP.. so that's how im dealing with the lower MP on the A9iii. Its interesting to see how different media creators all have different needs and use cases and how the equipment actually 'does matter' in professional situations.

[@JakeSloan]

Nice and yeah for what you do the a9III is definitely better especially since you have the a7rV. In an ideal world I’d just own both but I can’t justify the cost at the moment.

[@mohammadBakri-uj1gw]

What is you advice for me I am cpnfused between A1 and a9 iii And i am a bird photography i do need 50 megapixel but also all that features are a game changer

[@BillyKzz]

@@mohammadBakri-uj1gw if you need 50MP then you cant get the A9iii.. but honestly, you really need 50MP? the a9iii is the most amazing camera i've ever used.. it blows the A1 away in the speed.. and if you shoot uncompressed RAW you can get 240 shots at 120FPS.

[@greatwood90]

I have the A9 III and A7R5 also and to be honest, I find myself picking up the A9 III most of the time because it’s just so much fun to shoot! Plus I love the ergonomics and especially the C5 button. Which I set on toggle for 120 fps. For sports and fast moving wildlife there is nothing better. I’m not really a video guy so I can’t speak on that but for sheer speed, power and sharpness you can’t beat the A9 III.

[@LoverOfTech]

Excellent video. I honestly can't wait for A1ii with 8K 60 and the same body as the A9iii/A7rv with the tilt/flip screen with new A.I chip for AF

[@LeslieIanRamos]

Bought the Sony A9iii after watching your video. I got scared during the introduction, thinking you're regretting it, and it's past my return window. I really should stop watching videos about this camera. I'm hoping to learn more about the fact that it's a new system for me after shooting SOny A1, A7iv, Fuji GFX 100s, and Sony A7r4, I thought going back to a 24mp camera was a sacrifice. I shoot weddings and sell books and prints to my clients. I bought the A9iii because I was commissioned to shoot for a modelling agency and need the smaller jpeg files for runway shows and the speed and lighting setup. Overall, nice video! Thanks, Jake!

[@JakeSloan]

Yeah I think the a9iii for what you do is likely perfect! Congrats!!

thank you for the review, saved me some money 🙏🏼

[@TW-iu9zy]

Hi Jake, very good comparison video, thanks for that. 👍🏻 Fortunately, as journalists we have the luxury of owning both cameras. When it comes to image quality, we notice virtually no disadvantages up to ISO 12,800 when using the a9 III. Sony has developed an excellent camera that offers us more options in many areas than the a1, which we of course continue to use. See you in the live stream!

[@JakeSloan]

Thank you TW, I am glad to hear I am not crazy when looking at the footage and photos from the a9III lol. so many other people are saying stuff that I don't see to be true in real use. Cheers!!

[@kylewist7745]

I have the A9iii. I shoot concerts and events and lifestyle portraits. So far, I have been very pleased. Ergonomically, I'd still prefer a Nikon mirrorless camera, but the global shutter is simply too useful to pass on. I shot a Chappell Roan concert Sunday night, and the photographs are gorgeous. Using the Sony 50mm f/1.2 G Master lens, I was able to crop quite a lot and still have poster-worthy prints. Also, the 24-megapixel images are much quicker to edit than the 45/100 megapixel RAW files coming off my Nikon Z7ii and Fujifilm GFX100s. Honestly, these three cameras complement one another incredibly well. Each has its own strengths, and it's great to be able to choose the correct tool for the job.

[@JakeSloan]

Awesome!!

[@RaymondToms]

Hi Jake. Thanks for the comparison. The only thing that might sway me to the A9 is that the global shutter gets rid of LED flicker. A bain of my life when filming concerts. Then again, if the chopper shot at 14:06 was on the A1, it does a great job, almost global shutter straightness on the rotor blades.

[@JakeSloan]

agreed, it's so close it's pretty incredible considering the size of the sensor

[@stevearita3267]

This is a great comparison review, your side by side photos/videos are the best I've seen to date. Thank you very much for making this video, appreciate all the hard work, time and effort you put into it, as I said, I think this is really the best comparison review I've seen comparing the A1 and A9III.

[@JakeSloan]

Thank you!

[@Jeo-What]

Thank you so much for this review. I was debadting between the two cameras since A9 III's introduction as I do have the need for the Silent Electronic Shutter (Blackout free is a nice bonus) to operate with flash for event photography. Based on the price and the new Global shutter I thought I would choose the A9 III; however, after shooting the A7R V for a year now I have come to appriciate the benifit of the high megapixel sensor delivers without the need of swapping out lenses in a pinch with it's cropping ability. As you pointed out in your review the base ISO for A9 III starts at ISO 250 which is not ideal for my need to use/cary a variable ND filter, add another filter infront of the good quality lenses all the time to shoot Run & Gun outdoor events. At the end, I was able to aquire a used A1 at lesser cost than a new A9 III that still has 2+ years of local/international transferable warranty. I am very satisfied with its performance over the A7R V especially my A7R V's LCD screen is 99% in the fully closed position. Thanks again for this comparison review.

[@JakeSloan]

Fantastic to hear about you getting an A1 for a deal! Enjoy and you’re welcome. I’m kind of surprised I got this out before most the other camera channels

[@hilmarkampstra1686]

Interesting to read, I am looking at it the other way around, love the a9 electronic shutter with the burst sound, this keeps me control the burst very nicely. Rented an a7R5, and guess what: it does not have that feature (had to switch the electronic shutter off). Really weird 🧐

[@ScottBalkum]

I don’t think I could give up resolution. As much as I love global shutter, resolution in photos is very important to me. If I was a sports photog, the A9iii would be the champ.

[@JakeSloan]

Yeah same for me. The resolution of the a1 is just so dang good for so many things. Plus the 8k video doesn’t hurt 😉

[@JakeSloan]

[@greatwood90]

I actually watched your video review of the A9 III before making my decision to purchase one. I found it very well thought out and presented. I also watched the Northrup’s, Matt Granger, Jan Wegener’s, Peta Pixels. You name it I probably watched them. I shot with an A7 IV for 3 years. Prior to that an a6000 for 8 years. So I have been ensconced in Sony’s ecosystem for a long time. I thought of the A1 a lot before getting this A9 III and also thought about waiting for the A1 Mark II but after witnessing a friend of mine who bought the A9 III and saw what it could do, I was blown away. Mainly by the outstanding AF. So I got the A9 III and the A7RV for the resolution and sold my A7 IV. I also recently acquired the 300 GM and both Sony TCs because I wanted better IQ. I have not been disappointed. I shoot mainly handheld that’s why the image stabilization was really important for me. Especially for video. I’m surprised that Sony did not drop the price of their current A1 as it is over 3 years old and people like Nikon are releasing cameras like the Z8 at 4k which has really been a popular seller. Like you, I feel when Sony releases an A1 Mark II it will be something. But as to when that happens? Nobody knows. My friend even thinks they won’t. As the current A1 is still popular. At least they should do a form factor and tech refresh. Anyways, thanks for your excellent videos. They helped me make up my mind. 👍🏻

[@JakeSloan]

Fantastic! I agree the A1 is still an incredibly powerful camera that they really dont need to release a new one

[@kitminlee9169]

use the A1 for work from architecture/interiors as 50MP has sufficient resolution for detail crop. The higher resolution enables you to edit easier and remove artifacts. For most sports these crazy FPS are plenty, in fact i reckon most pros do not use 30fps as this becomes too many photos to go through. 15fps is plenty. I am not sure even if A1 MK2 came out a big enough reason to upgrade camera based on work needs.

[@JakeSloan]

Fantastic!

Hi dose the A9iii have black out free shutter?

[@JakeSloan]

[@realMysta]

Couple of notes from my using it at an event: one kind of funny one, using silent mode is a bit dangerous when using anything over low speed shooting. You forget that 30 or 60 even is still really fast. But more seriously, shooting well planned bursts at nearly 8k 12 bit color is really under discussed. you can only get 1ish seconds (4seconds real time) of slow mo burst but it really turns into some great footage. Two, the noise actually is not bad at all, the pictures have turned out great in extremely low light, as has the video. Three, I do miss the resolution of the a7R V, i'm so used to shooting slightly wide for room to crop, and 25mp is pretty noticeable. And I think, finally, the autofocus felt actually a good leap ahead of even the a7R V. I really can't wait for a1ii, I will keep the a9iii with plans to shift to a1ii when it comes out.

[@JakeSloan]

Agreed! And glad to hear your experience has been positive too

Great review. I'm an amateur with an a7rv, which I love. However, I really enjoy wildlife photography and the a7rv just doesn't have it for wildlife in motion. I just picked up a used a1 and, although I prefer the a7rv ergonomically, the focus abilities and speed of the a1 make it the clear winner for wildlife, esp. w/ the higher resolution compared to the a9iii.

[@JakeSloan]

[@hellopsp180]

I would love to see the A1 ii come out with a global shutter. Regardless of any Dynamic Range reduction. I would take that any day. a 60 fps 50 MP global shutter sensor would be INSANE.

[@Jonathantuba]

In my case I have just got the A9iii, but not to replace my A1, but as second body. They are both fantastic cameras and ideal for wildlife photography which covers most of my shooting. For me what I miss most from the A1 when using the A9iii is the 50mp to allow plenty of crop, although using Topaz AI to upscale photos after editing has reduced this problem. The main thing which makes the A9iii better for me is the Pre-capture. On virtually every photo shoot I get pictures with the A9iii I would just of miss if using the A1, as with wildlife action often occurs without warming particularly with birds. The 120fps of the A9iii I have not found necessary to use so far, although I am sure it will come in useful occasionally - however I have my A9iii by default set-up shooting at 30fps then the buffer allows for a generous 12 seconds continuous burst. I will certainly be keeping my A1 until a mark 2 version comes out and continue using it when I want maximum resolution.

[@JakeSloan]

Huge, you can still run into flicker if you shutter speed is higher and a multiple of the the flicker frequency but it's much easier to avoid with the a9III

I can get overheating on my A7 after less than an hour if it is warm (I am in Australia as you know, but going to Antarctica in November).

[@donnakasubeckphotography]

So on the fence, I shoot dog sports, like agility, lure coursing as well as birds. I currently have an a9 (24mp) and I am finding the newer Nikon and Canon cameras give more detail in the fur, so I am considering the a1 for the mp's to get that detail. However, the a9iii is really more suited to sports photography and it has less MP's so files are not going to be huge. I am a bit worried about 50mp files and 6000-8000 pictures from a 2 or 3 day event. Just to make things more confusing, the Nikon z8 can now accept sony glass using an adaper and it is a lot less than the a9iii or a1.

Peta pixel says a9 has the dynamic range, noise and low light of an apsc camera because of the global shutter and the missing dual iso which makes this camera a no no to me for this kind of money.

[@JakeSloan]

not in my experience in using it, I have used a lot of APSC cameras and they don't perform nearly as well as this in low light etc...

[@harryvuemedia]

If I can afford an A9iii, i would pick it up right away. I want to go Global Shutter now for events because I used entirely E-shutter. Being silent and shooting away without anyone noticing is huge for me. And also great for the videograpehrs because they dont have to hear the "click" noise like crazy. Even though I can't afford an a9iii, for sure the GS sensor will come to sony's other cameras which then i will pick up!

[@JakeSloan]

I think global shutter will be making it's way into most cameras over the next few years for sure

[@harryvuemedia]

@@JakeSloan oh yes, judging from Sony's past roadmaps. Waiting out for the future a7V, a7RVI and FX3-ii that will likely have global shutters. Sony has to go Global Shutter on these cameras because they have maxed out the Rolling Shutter models already.

[@ecobooster8298]

I'd go with the Z8.

[@JakeSloan]

also a fantastic option right now

[@Matt.2024]

I'm so stuck on what to get. I have a A7RV and an A7SIII. I shoot a lot of sports so I want to finally have a high speed camera. I got the A7RV as my A7III was dying and I really like the high resolution which is why I want the A1. But I also really, really don't want to spend that much on a camera that must be getting a successor soon. I'm thinking of getting the A9III and making that my main sports camera with the A7RV as my second camera. Then getting the A1 Mark II as my main and demote the A9III to second camera and retire the A7RV to my portrait only camera. Or I get the A1 then the A1 Mark II and use those as my two sports cameras. I don't know what I'm doing. I did get to try the A9III at the reveal event and I did just try the A1 recently shooting minor league baseball and it was great so I may just go with that. My main concern is having autofocus that still lands me the shots I need when the action gets too crazy to keep up with.

[@JakeSloan]

I think you really would be happy with either one, but for me the A1 is still the best for most stuff until the A1 II is released

[@RichardBedford-p3q]

A1 Mark 2 for me. Can't go back to 24mp...not now.

[@JakeSloan]

Yeah I’m in the same boat.

[@RyanREAX]

I got a7r5, a74, a73, so im prolly gonna get the a93

[@JakeSloan]

Wow nice!!

[@christianrasmussen3351]

Love seward!

[@JakeSloan]

me too

[@bunyaadi]

Bottom line then is if you are willing to wait on the a9 ii then you may be rewarded. A1 being the top line model should incoporate the AI processor, global shutter and 8k filming making it a cinemstographers choice of camera.

[@JakeSloan]

true

[@shootermcgavin4999]

I like your shirt.

[@JakeSloan]

Thanks

[@gcarmichael]

Keeping the A1

[@JakeSloan]

yep

[@Leo-jd2ny]

I have both and have a need for both

[@JakeSloan]

I wish I could justify both! Congrats on that

[@DAVE_WHITE]

A1 is the canon R5 A9III is the canon R3 sports camera very simple a a9III will not do your landscape pics like your a1 2 different tools for different WORK!!!

[@JakeSloan]

agreed, that's why I included a bunch of other shots like birds, action sports, helicopters etc...

[@pawelmod3292]

Well, Canon R3 is on the level of Sony a9 mark I ;-)

[@VHATSLAV-yb9xe]

Я почему-то всегда думал что на A1 global shutter 🤔

[@JakeSloan]

No but it does have a very good readout speed

[@allencrider]

8K at 10 bit . . . just what people need.

[@JakeSloan]

Not everyone but I use it a lot

[@HSNG10]

The moment Sony can make a higher resolution global shutter the A1 II is coming out...

[@JakeSloan]

100%

[@MitrichDX]

i buy it A93 and 120fps=30fps on UHS-II v60, buy today Type-A 320GB Lexar wait it...

[@JakeSloan]

It will work but take more than 2x longer to clear the buffer

[@MitrichDX]

@@JakeSloan it's not working for me! only 30fps... test it...

[@adnmultimedia]

Where can I buy that sweater? lol

[@JakeSloan]

I got mine on amazon lol

[@FernandoTrindadePT]

I will wait for the precapture on an A1 firmware upgrade... and maybe the new AF modes (insects etc), I hope. I need the 60Mp of the a1. I have an a9 and an a1... the a9 3 global shutter is nice the 120fps are definetly nice, but I find the a1's 30fps still enough for my bird photography. I don't havr hummingbirds here and for kingfishers 30 is good :)

[@JakeSloan]

That would be amazing to get pre capture on the a1!

[@robbie154]

The correct answer is wait for the a1 markii.

[@JakeSloan]

agreed

[@jonneymendoza]

I guarantee you that the A1 mk2 will have global shutter.

[@JakeSloan]

that would be amazing

[@kingghidorah8106]

sony actively making cameras that perfectly complement each other so you buy both 💀 example: A7IV/A6700 for photo and video respectively as well as portrait/landscape and wildlife/sports respectively, sony a9iii and a1 for the same stuff

[@JakeSloan]

yep!

[@kingghidorah8106]

@@JakeSloan the worst part about a7iv vs a6700 is that the a7iv actually has better autofocus and better sensor readout speed/higher mechanical shutter speed but because the a6700 is new every sponsorer is telling you the opposite

[@jimbo27]

What is people's propensity to show us the sensor in the camera and leave it wide open to dust and debris that can get in there while showing the sensor.

[@JakeSloan]

it gets clicks lol. in reality I never leave my camera uncovered and when I changes lenses it's as fast as possible

[@MitrichDX]

такое видео с лучшей стабилизацией я и на samsung s23 ultra получу, что в 6 раз дешевле) Делать тесты в дневное время, сейчас не состоятельно более чем НИКАК на любую камеру средь бела дня будет результат примерно одинаков! Делайте тесты в сумерках!

Zabawne że producent wymyślił jakąś funkcję np: Global Shuter i teraz każdy fotograf sobie myśli że wszystkie jego dotychczasowe niepowodzenia wynikają z tego że ich dotychczasowe aparaty nie miały funkcji Global Shuter a reklamy nowych modeli za tysiące dolarów w tym głupim przekonaniu własnie go utwierdzają ...

I’ve never said that but it’s easy for many people to blame their tools not their own lack of skill

if sony just could make this a9iii with 50 megapixels so everyone would be happy but no😂 we gonna wait next 10 years

[@JakeSloan]

lol 100%

[@SimplestUsername]

People really shoot in 8k using 4x the data of 4k just to reframe? That seems wild to me.

[@JakeSloan]

I do because the 8k is so good

[@johnzhengphotographychannel]

I can't understand why the a93 doesn't have 240p in 1080, I will never buy one

[@JakeSloan]

yeah I couldn't really figure that out either

[@pawelmod3292]

Most likely sensor is not optimised for 240Hz cycle. Other elements of camera could most likely handle 1080 240p with ease …

[@user780-98]

Nice sweater, man.

Thanks!

[@johnsilk7349]

Love your video. I used them all. A1. Please don’t change your body. I bought thousands off dollars of small rig to fit that shit. Also. A1. 8k full frame. Google Arri vs a1. A93. Global shutter. I could shoot 8k a1 and make a picture better than the a9 120fps. Edit kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6e0d5SrfZmmfK8

[@JakeSloan]

great points and the reality is the A1 is a beast and will be a beast of a camera for years to come
