Imagine if Sony did a Sony A9 limited edition with the holy trinity G Master’s :o Gulp.

Style isn’t their strong point. Probably still fcuk it up with some “steady shot inside” slogan branded all over it.

True but I found that with my Fuji XT-2 I spend more time faffing about with dial's and knobs which actually slowed down the capture process.....
With my Sony A9 I just use Auto-ISO, easy front and rear thumb dials for the other important settings, job done. Yes you can configure the Fuji to do this also but then whats the point of a nice looking ISO dial? :D

:eek: Just buy it for the collection? :D It's going to be too expensive for me and I wouldn't even know what to use it for.
Even it is priced at £8000 which I highly doubt it will be, its too much for me.... I think it will be priced around the £12-13k mark. :eek:
If its true that Sony can offer a significant performance and IQ advantage over the rivals and come in at a lower price, it would help them vastly to secure more professional sports/wildlife shooters.

It won't be long until Sony starts teasing us with more lenses which the professional segment is wanting ....

105mm f2.8 GM Macro (1:1)
135mm f2.8 GM
200mm f2.8 GM
300mm f2.8 GM

:D

Ooops correct, the current rumors suggest the 135mm GM will be f1.8.
Guess we'll have to wait and see..... :D

I could be tempted with the following..

105mm f2.8 GM Macro (1:1)
135mm f1.8 GM
35mm f1.4 GM
50mm f1.4 GM

:D

You can hit burglars with it if they come to steal your camera. Also self protection. Could also use it for weight lifting to maintain your fitness.

Sold!!!

Although it's lighter than the Canon - so is it as good for self defence.. Sony didn't think about that.

I reckon you’d be better off getting down to B&Q to buy some stronger shelves for your existing kit! [emoji6]

I was supposed to be in Barcelona this weekend too but I've literally just cancelled it as our dog's been diagnosed with cancer and having an op :( Fortunately prognosis is pretty good if they can remove it all :)

Might go to the photography show on Sunday now instead.

Sorry to hear mate, if they said they can remove it all then that's a good prognosis.
