Video-wise, this is the first consumer mirrorless camera after the Canon EOS R5 to capture 8K video not only that, it can capture 4K video at up to 120fps. The resolution may not be the highest for a full frame camera (it’s beaten by Sony’s own A7R IV), but it is the second-highest, and it’s all the more impressive in light of this camera’s formidable video and continuous shooting capabilities. The Sony A1 has a sensitivity range of ISO 100-32,000, expandable to ISO 50-102,400, and Sony says it can capture a dynamic range of up to 15 stops. If 50.1 megapixels isn’t enough, there is also a 199MP pixel shift Multi Shooting mode that merges up to 16 separate images taken in succession – this is for static subjects with the camera mounted on a tripod. This doesn’t just improve the performance and the image quality, but the responsiveness of the camera itself. If we were to list every key feature of the Sony A1, it would be a book, not a camera review, so we will try to keep this brief.įirst, it has a 50.1-megapixel stacked CMOS back-illuminated gapless sensor with separate pixel and circuit layers hooked up to a BIONZ XR processor with 8x the power of the previous version.
