Sony's Alpha 9 camera is the first ever to have a faster — or fastest, rather — focus among others; thanks to its 35 mm full frame stacked 24.2 MP CMOS sensor. It is back-illuminated as well. This means users can capture photos with a maximum amount of light while keeping the image's quality.
And what could be more exciting than Alpha 9's improved shutter speed? Compared with other cameras, Alpha 9 boasts continuous shooting of 20 frames per second (fps) with maximum shutter speed of up to 1/32,000 seconds. Thus, this might be every sports photographer's holy grail camera.
Sony also talks big on Alpha 9's vibration-free silent shutter. This means taking photos in the wild will be easier as no sound will scare the animals. And, it will also maintain a professional atmosphere in certain places.
With specs as remarkable as what Alpha 9 has, the latest flagship camera is rated to be the best of its kind. Alpha 9 will be up in stores on May for $4,500.
