I rented an A1 - longtime Nikon shooter as you may deduce from my previous posts - and frankly was rather skeptical since I was getting such great results from my Nikon D850. This Osprey came within about 30 yards but really moving fast when I focused in zone, manual, bird AF engaged, and shot at about 1/3500 sec. When I pulled this up in LR I was impressed and this is the shot that convinced me to part with a great deal of cash to buy the Alpha 1. What you don't see are the 30 other shots - all perfectly in focus - and my reaction was disbelief at first and then as I got to know the camera, sheer joy. BTW, the weight reduction from my D850 with battery grip, prime lens and TC to the Sony was like ½ and felt liberating. Of course one can get delightful images from Nikon and in fact the Nikon architecture is superior in some ways over the Sony. Heck I still use the Nikon. The difference is an intangible, the difference is fun. I just enjoy shooting the Sony more that the Nikon D850 or my D500. That's my story.
