I’m a Sony A1 user as well. Your story is similar to mine. Starting with youth sports now looking into adding portrait work myself .. 30fps .. I never miss a shot 🙌🏽
The A1 is the bomb! I’ve been tempted to sell my a9ii as I don’t use it anymore. Even when I am rocking a two camera setup at games, I don’t use it too often. The A1 paired with the 400mm f2.8, you don’t really need anything else for football. 👀
if u ask me the A1 is still the best camera out there ! i used it for the last two years + and i still enjoying it! wished sony gave us more respect as far as upgrades and support but i did not lose hope yet ?
I've been loving the A1 since I saw the results on my first shoot with it. Even sold my A9ii due to the quality this camera gives off. As I am not too keen with other camera brands, I agree this one is certainly up there in the "best" realm. And keep that hope! I've heard they are supposed to release some updates for the body soon... Then again, that's been said for months!
New A1mark II = A9 III + more megapixels + better video capabilites. I am 99,5% sure. PS: PROBABLY (guess) new processor and sensor. So... Everything after Sony A1 mark II will use it's processors.. like A7-V, A7-R6 (if will be) etc.
I am quite excited for the a1ii... Whenever it'll be released that as. I can imagine it'll be quite pricey but I'll certainly be eyeing it up! I could only imagine an A1 combined with the A9iii specs and how incredible of a camera it'd be.
@@FatalOnion I am wondering the price.. 1) A1 will go down for like 1,000 $ (?) 2) option 2: A1 will drop a little or none, and A1 mark II will be HORRIFIC at the price, like 10.000 $ (A1 in my country is literally 8.000 $ equivalent)
@@pentagramyt417 I'm thinking the price of the A1 will stay around the 3-5k range for sure as it is still a powerhouse of camera body if the A1ii will be as good as the rumors say. The a1ii could certainly be near the 10k range. Which my pocket will not be a fan of... 😅 Who knows though, maybe it'll be a little lower with some of these technologies becoming more common and such.
You’re a amateur photographer and you bought a a1! And the lens behind you… amateur? More a poser to be honest. Only if you have to much money in my opinion. Sorry for my reaction.
A poser? Not at all! I picked up my first camera in 2020. Started off with the Sony a6400. I wanted the best of the best quality. So, I hustled to get the best of the best gear to do the job. The way I see it, the gear is expensive but it’s an investment. It’ll pay itself off overtime and it certainly is. Having the best gear certainly gave me the upper hand in quality on my local competition.
@@FatalOnion okay, I’m sorry for my interpretation. But the (I think) the 400 2.8 is not just for the hobby… my opinion. It’s professional. I have the 200-600 G, but I wished I had yours 😉 I also have the a1 with battery grip and several lenses. Like the 24-70 GM II, 70-200 GM II, 12-24 2.8 GM, 90mm macro, etc. But I also have a Q3 for street photography. I don’t have the guts to make a RUclips video 🥳
Hey, no problem, Vincent! I know I’d probably be turning my head too if I where in your shoes. 😅 pro gear doesn’t define someone as a pro. Which is why I consider myself an amateur as I haven’t had much time in photography like the true professionals. In todays age, the 400 f2.8s have been dropping pretty low with the Sony 300mm dropping. I’ve seen the 400s going for $8500 in fantastic condition. Still a lot of money but certainly doable. Especially, if you sell your 200-600 to go toward it if you’d like to part ways with it. I personally love the lens and the image quality you get out of it paired with the a1 is incredible. No one in my area can replicate the results. If you’re wishing to take a leap and can do it affordably, I’d go for it! I don’t regret my decision on purchasing it last spring. I certainly hurt with cash for awhile but it was worth it. Otherwise, make do with what you got! You got quite the lineup of lenses and that’s something to be proud of.
@@FatalOnion 400 mm f2.8 used in my country is ABSENT. Even if would appear - add 23% tax to that, and it's maybe 2.500 $ than for a new one - boviously I would save for new in that situation..
