Good thing I never really look into it because knowing me I'll end up with a Panerai.

I used to collect watches :D

I like mechanical watches, I don't like the massive watches that seem fashionable today, I like simple and this Oris is one of my favourites...

I have a stainless steel automatic Everite which my parents bought me when I was a teenager and it's just gorgeous :D

This one is I think in the region of 100 years old...

I always look but MFT makes more sense for me as I prefer having the two control wheels up top (rather than the A6k and using one up top and the one on the back around the pads) and I have seven MFT lenses.

The A6k looks to be a bargain buy though and would make a lot of sense for anyone with an A7 as, obviously, you can share lenses between the two.

The thought did cross my mind but going to hold onto it for now..... still like the silent shutter and zero black out. :)
What I like is that Sony has kept the ergonomics and buttons same across the range.... great for muscle memory.

Only other problem is you'll lose big time judging by used a9 prices.
 
Working out your losses you'd have 2 x a7 or and a7 and a9 for the same cash. Actually not tough.

You should spend the money on hiring a photographer who uses A9 :p
That way someone gets a job and you get pictures for spending all that money

Yes a long with other features, however you have to ask yourself if those features are worth the extra money over the Sony A7 III.
I don't think the Sony A9 is over-priced against its rivals Nikon D5 & Canon 1DX Mark III, however when you compare it to Sony's own bodies it seems a harder choice.
I think its great Sony is pushing out these great bodies..... can only get better going forwards :)

Ignoring the obvious jokes, are you planning on getting back into shooting events/weddings so need 2 bodies again?

When you compare it to the other Sony models it does seem expensive, however I have no idea on the cost to manufacture a sensor and processor that can give such fast readout times, how much it costs to manufacture zero blackout etc, better build/weather sealing etc etc. I'm sure those things aren't cheap.

It's like the A7Riii vs the A7iii, on the face of it the A7Riii seems expensive, but again I've no idea how much more it costs to build a sensor with nearly twice the MP, the cost of the better EVF and viewfinder, again better build/weather sealing. Maybe when you start taking into account all the little things then the price starts to make a bit more sense? On saying that, the grey prices of the A9 and A7riii make A LOT more sense ;)

They have cannibalised the A9 and given Canikon a spanking :bat:
