Product details
The 50MP Exmor RS sensor, up to 30 FPS with no blackout, industry-leading 9.44MP EVF with high-speed refresh rate and 5.5-stop IBIS - all thanks to the BIONZ XR processor. With 759 phase-detection and
425 contrast-detection AF points, the camera has wide, high-density autofocus that covers 93% of the frame, with enhanced real-time autofocus technology: real-time tracking autofocus, real-time eye AF (human, animal, bird) and real-time eye AF in video (human only). Never miss the important moments at the right moment again with the Alpha 1. Advanced professional controls: Menu, high-capacity Z-battery, full-size HDMI, Ethernet and ultra-fast Wi-Fi, two CF-Express Type A compatible media slots make this the perfect tool for professionals who want to get the most out of their camera. For flash photographers, the camera is now capable of shooting with a flash sync speed of 1/400 and 1/500 in APS-C mode. Options for videographers: 8K up to 30p 4:2:0 10bit, recording function up to 4k 120p. With the built-in S-Cinetone function and image stabilization in active mode, cinematographers and videographers can achieve cinematic results that rival those of Sony Cinema Line products. Enhanced dust and moisture resistance, highly reliable mechanical shutter with 500,000 shutter cycles, and USB-C 3.2 super-speed port to support power supply - these are the features that make this camera stand out.

Overall ratingVery good98/100
Die Alpha 1 ist noch immer ein echtes Multitalent - für die Fotografie wie für die Videoproduktion. Zwar gibt es Kameras mit höherer Auflösung, schnellerer Bildfolge und vergleichbarer 8K-Funktonalität, aber kaum mit allen Features gleichzeitig. Was ihr einige Jahre nach Markteinführung fehlt, ist der KI-Koprozessor der neueren Modelle, der u...
Sony has shaken up the professional segment of the system camera market with the Alpha 9 III. The model is the first full-frame system camera to feature a global shutter sensor. This means that with this model, the image sensor is read out completely in one step instead of the pixels being read out line by line one after the other...
With the SL3, Leica has created a very good full-frame camera that impresses above all with its high resolution. The autofocus still lags behind the competition from Canon, Nikon and Sony; firmware updates could bring improvements here. The best competitor models are also ahead in terms of continuous shooting and some features...

With a price range from 890 to 8000 euros, there should be something to suit almost every budget. High-resolution medium and full-frame cameras offer top performance in terms of image quality. Robust, fast and excellently equipped cameras can also be found in the APS-C and MFT range...
Our test results clearly show the advantages and disadvantages of the new technology: for the first time, extremely fast image series and videos are possible without any rolling shutter effect or problems with flickering artificial light and there are also new possibilities with flash. However, this is offset by higher image noise and a lower dynamic range...
Very good100/100
The Alpha 1 is a real all-rounder, for photography as well as video production. There are cameras with higher resolution, faster frame rates and comparable 8K functionality, but hardly any with all these features at the same time. The closest thing to the Alpha 1 would be Canon's EOS R5 and Nikon's Z 9 - or the Alpha 9 Il for pure in-house sports photography...
