Here it is!
I figured I needed to get it out before the Z9 steals all the thunder in a few days!

Yeah, it's a long one...but worth it (I hope!)Thanks been waiting to see this one.
I better walk Elmer the doggy first lol
Yeah, all my full reviews are long - I gotta learn to scale back. I think the length hurts the viewership and they take forever to produce (this was at least 60 hours in the making, not including the time in the field of course). Still, it's comprehensive I thinkWow. You must have a lot to say. This will get me through most of my morning workout

Wow, what a reference work! I LOVED IT. Well done Steve and this will be very helpful for me and all the other A1 shooters. BTW, do you use the 200-600mm G OSS lens? I am heading to Botswana tomorrow and will be referring to this when I get wifi again. AndyHere it is!

Great video. Well worth the time. Glad for the through coverage.
One question - why do manufacturer make grips which insert into the battery compartment vs attach to contacts at the bottom of the camera (like the D850)? The latter seems like a better idea to me.
I have to remove the battery door on my Z7 II and I would rather not. Canon bodies have this too, the only outliers seems to be Nikon with the D850 and D500 (perhaps others?)I agree, that's one of the few things I really don't like about the A1. That flimsy little battery door you have to unmount and remount if you want to take the battery grip on and off - I don't see myself doing that often.
The video showed Steve using BBAF and the AE Lock button together.Is it safe to say you have moved away from BBAF on the A1?
Yes. I haven't used it much, but it's a good lens and very versatile. I'm taking it to Africa in a week and a half (Along with the 600 F/4 of course). The 100-400 was good, but I think the 200-600 is more versatile for what I shoot.Wow, what a reference work! I LOVED IT.

And, the most impressive aspect of an impressive review, of a very impressive camera, were the absolutely stunning images you have taken with this camera, apparently in the past 5 months or so. If I took even one, at the standard you hold yourself to, I would be ecstatic.
Oh, not at all. I still use BBAF - especially because I have my AEL set to Wide AF and focus. I just jump between the buttons as needed with my thumb.Is it safe to say you have moved away from BBAF on the A1?
Great review, Thanks, I enjoyed it. Not too long at all.
I picked up on a few pointers I will try myself.
Hoping Z9 doesn't steal the thunder before an A1 setup guide is released.
Yes a bit long but you covered all the important aspects. I find the all the details useful and would not like to see you cut down the details.Yeah, all my full reviews are long - I gotta learn to scale back.
