Real-time eye AF now includes humans, animals and birds.
Improved auto focus, 8k video, flash in silent shutter, higher res view finder, more.
Hope it's not priced beyond reach.
Chelsea N will have to change brands again.

They also introduced the Xperia Pro cellphone for content and broadcasters for $2500 USD. Crazy

The Verge says the price will be $6,500.00
Edit; I meant the Alpha 1 camera.
"The A1 is now Sony’s flagship aimed at professional photographers and videographers, who won’t balk at that price for a second."

Humm. The announcement I saw said 2500.00. Either way they must be targeting a very specific demographic

Same here, no thanks! Hard to wrap my head around a $6,500 camera. What on earth makes this camera worth that much?

The things that it can do, and some quite undesirable things that it doesn’t do.
Have you any idea what 8K can do ? Or flicker resistance ? High speed readout ?
Yes, a better camera can make someone a better photographer. But that someone isn’t just anyone.

From my perspective the greatest thing about the Alpha 1 is that it's innovative technology will soon work it's way down to prosumer level bodies.
