Does the A9 count?
  1. Yes
  2. By default pressing the joystick in does it on A9 at least
  3. Shares the same AF point, can't see an option to make them independent
  4. on the A9 there is a dial for bracketing
  5. The big dial on the back, press it on the right where it says 'ISO'
  6. Yes and yes

The A7III is an A9 after all [emoji1][emoji6]
 
I do take a lot of info from forums with a pinch of salt, but I find this interesting that what ex D5 user says the A9 is better at focussing in low light than the D5, and an ex D750 user thinks the A7riii tracks better than the D750 :eek:

There is a video which compares the Nikon D5 vs Sony A9, worth watching.

I agree with Chris I did try the a7riii at the show along side the a7iii and I noticed the a7iii much better

But that's not comparing it to the D750 :p

The A7riii is great, I'd say it pretty much matches the D850 AF wise but I do think the D750 was a hair faster, but your unlikely to notice it - just buy one and enjoy!

I'd be surprised if there was all that much different, the A7riii is going to be slower though by virtue of its epic 42mp sensor!

Confused, the d850 is supposed to have better and faster af than the d750?

I always felt the D750 was a little nipper, but then I don't tend to use all the AF points (51 v 153), I only briefly shot with a D750 again recently so it wasn't a proper test!

This confused me too as I thought the same as Twist, that the D850 was better than the D750, and D500 for that matter.

Chris I’m working on a plan to afford it (y)

It probably is! I don't use the AF on any of them to their fullest ability!

All? Nope. Some.

This happens when something new comes out, brand doesn't matter.
