Sony a1 Hands-on Review: 30 FPS Failure, 8K Overheating, Banding, EVF, Eye AF and more

Tony Northrup did spend a couple of days taking pictures with the new Sony a1. He reviews the real-world frames per second (FPS), 8k video overheating, banding, electronic viewfinder (EVF) lag / latency, handling, autofocus (including animal and bird eye AF), rolling shutter, buffering, battery life and flash compatibility (with both the mechanical and electronic shutter). He also compared the Sony a1 with the Canon R5, Sony a9 II, Sony a7R IV and the Nikon Z7 II. Some really useful early feedback from Tony. Check out!
