Shipping in December, that's pretty quick.

If that holds, we don't even have the actual announcement. A9III was announced Nov-7 and deliveries started early Feb.

Yeah, I don't recall the interval from announcement to release on the original A1 but I'm sure it was at least a couple of months or more.

A1 annouced Jan 26th. Not sure what the first shipping date was but I think I had one in the first batch and got mine March 9th.
So it was pretty quick but if this A1II ships in the first 2 weeks of December that will be very quick.

You got yourself a pro account, so you got it much earlier than us mere civilians...

True. I've been asking my store to check if I need an active Pro account to get first dibs for the Mark II. I haven't had an active account for the past 2 years.
My first one shipped late February and was about 3 weeks earlier than originally thought.

Looks like the price is going to be between $6299-$6350 according to alpha rumors.
At the rate the rumored price keeps dropping, it'll be under $5K by launch day
That would be nice and that’s about what it’s worth to me honestly lolAt the rate the rumored price keeps dropping, it'll be under $5K by launch day
I'll be curious to see what Sony gives us. Wonder how Canon and Nikon will match/exceed Sony's offering. Camera technology is always a game of leap frog.
I think Nikon definitely has the best pricing strategy by far!
I agree. But then again I like lower prices ..
Me too lol
Well remember the original a1 will remain for sale and the price will drop to I’d guess around $5k. Considering it’s 4 years old at this point but still does things it’s competitors can’t gives them a 50MP action camera that’s more competitive. I expect the new one to be a little higher than the current one.

When A9II came out it was 4500 and A9I dropped from 4500 to 3500 USD. AFAIR I am correct. So I guess we can assume A1 will drop by 1K to 5500 or by 3500/4500*6500 expect 5000 USD. I hope used prices will be even lower And I will afford one for my wife

Used prices are already down to $4K or even a little lower on some listings. They will likely fall a bit more as people sell A1 and get A1II. Although my friends have decided to keep their A1 as 2nd camera and just add A1II. My plan is to sell my A1 so I'm sure many others will.When A9II came out it was 4500 and A9I dropped from 4500 to 3500 USD. AFAIR I am correct.

Screenshot from my retailer in Canada on their main splash page. Sounds like it is going to be good.

It may be the best on planet Earth, but it's no match for the X14a mirrorless they have on Xandar!Screenshot from my retailer in Canada on their main splash page. Sounds like it is going to be good.

Hi everyone ! New member here !
I'm definitely on the fence with this new A1II.
Should it have just the same 30fps, would it be better to had the speedier A9III to complement my A1 or just replace it with the new one ?
I believe it would open up the lack of photo possibilities.
I've been salivating with the idea of finally having pre capture, however, I don't do much bird photography in hides, and to make things worse, I like to shoot the small ones the most !
Not sure if the 24Mpx of the A9III would actually be an handy tool that I could use extensively in all my photography locations.
Any thoughts on this ?
Thanks !
