Rumors New rumor: new E-mount camera Fall 2024

A1 mk2 over kill again, who needs more speed, more frame rate, pre-capture, who is driving user or camera?

I am not sure how frame rate or pre-capture takes anything away from what the photographer does. Unless you are in fully manual mode with no light meter and manual focus lenses it is easy to ask who is in control. If manual only is what brings you joy with photography that's great but that clearly isn't what brings others joy. There is no need crap on new features or things you have no intention on using.

I for one look forward to faster frame rates, pre-capture and the ability to use burst mode to get those faster frame rates.

Need and want are two different things. What I want to be able to capture would be more likely to happen with these features but it is not a need.

If camera line A has a feature that has never appeared on camera line B and then camera line B gets that feature is it not new features for camera line B? It would be cool if you could just go and add features a la carte whenever you wanted.

I have a question for you guys: is the A9III body so much better than the A1, that they will be using the A9III's design for the A1-II?

I don`t know Chris are you talking about size shape and comfort? the A1 mk1 for me is not as comfortable in the hand as some of the other cameras I have

My understanding of the A9iii body is that it has new Function Dial (think the A7R5 has this as well), the C5 button up front, the new Frame Rate option of *, the fully articulating LCD screen and a new better angled shutter release button area.
