The A1 includes the new menu design first found on the A7SIII. Sure it's now merely as responsive as any DSLR from the last 15 years, but better late than never. This is the most appreciated upgrade in real-world use. Flicking through menus or adjusting exposure now feels instant. I am glad they avoided a flip screen, which waste precious time.Īll previous Sony cameras had abysmal start-up and response times - the A1 fixes all of that. It would be acceptable on a budget camera but is inexcusable on the flagship. The size and resolution are the lowest of any camera you could compare to. The other screen on this camera is absolute trash - the 1.44m LCD. Anyone who prefers an OVF after this will never be convinced. The EVF is noticeably larger than previous Alpha cameras (in either 60 or 120fps modes) and is a joy to use. The 5.76m/120fps option is a great balance for weddings. It's advertised as 9.4m dots, but as you pump the refresh rate (60, 120 or 240fps) the resolution will drop. The Sony grip (VG-C4EM) also works well, albeit being absurdly overpriced. As someone with large hands I still find the body too short, and need to add a base plate - there are excellent options from Honglai or Meike. That's a good thing though, as the squishy buttons, deep grip, firm clicks and general ruggedness feel great. There's nothing new here - it's the same as other 4th gen bodies (A9II, A7RIV, A7SIII).
