Ken Rockwell A9 review: “Sony is out to kill Nikon and Canon”

Ken Rockwell (known as the Chuck Norris of the photoblogosphere) tested the new A9. And his conclusion in short is:

The Sony A9 is an obvious pick — possibly the pick — for sports, news and action. Nothing is as fast, it has an AF system to match, and it’s also silent. Sony is out to kill Nikon and Canon, and this certainly helps, at only 2/3 the price of the competitive DSLRs.

If Chuck Norris says so it must be true :)

One more bit of news: David Fliss spotted the A9 in the White House.
