    Any thoughts on the A1 vs an A9 II (if you have it)? I do mostly wildlife, but I occasionally take photos of football for a local newspaper. Thinking about buying a new camera, and it will be one of the two. 30 FPS and 50 MP is nice, as I could still keep the same work efficiency in sport using compressed RAW, but I'm mostly curious about low light performance and autofocus. How do you feel the A1 stacks up vs the A9 II in terms of that? I don't care about video.

    Looking at the update notice on the app I think it’s the A1 only. Don’t see why we can’t have it for other models too, perhaps that will come in time. But I can only get low res images to transfer, have looked at all the settings but 800k seems to be tops a bit frustrating when you have the A7R4 for high res images 😢

    Good cameras work well in the cold. Just make sure it's weather sealed. It's the batteries that kill the deal during cold days. I had about 1hr of walk and intermittent shooting with my 7d about a week ago at -20. Just be careful for condensation when transitioning from hot to cold and vice versa. Camera in a big plastic bag is the best.
