An awesome camera, but not for me
一個非常強的相機，但我不需要

Today is another rainy day in Taipei, so I went to the photography equipment expo at the Taipei Trade Center. Being a Sony shooter, I decided to try out their newest flagship camera, the Sony A9! The A9 is the first full-frame mirrorless offering from Sony aimed towards professional action photographers.

今天臺北又下雨，所以只好去世貿中心看相機器材展，反正不用門票又可以玩相機還有拍showgirl。因爲我平常都是用Sony相機，就去了他們的攤位測試了一下最近出的旗艦機種：Sony A9！A9是Sony首次挑戰做全幅無反光鏡的專業級快速相機。

The continuous shooting is so fast that the individual frames can be played back almost like a movie! Below are some GIF animations I made from still images that I shot.

連拍速度簡直快到像在播放影片（最快每秒20張），以下是一些用照片做出來的GIF動畫。

16 images @ 30 fps

64 images @ 30 fps

263 images @ 30 fps

I'm not familiar with all the focus settings so I just played around with different settings. The camera found the face and locked on for most of the shots.

因爲不熟悉相機操作所以就自己亂設定，這樣的情況下拍出大部分還算是有對到焦，臉部辨識加上鎖定對焦都還挺準的。

100% crop on the eyes / 百分百放大

This is a 100% crop of the photo above, the eye is perfectly in focus!

這張百分百放大可以看的出眼睛有對到，而且很銳！

Here's another shot, showing how the camera found the face and nailed it!

這是另外一張，看出相機有對到後面的拳擊手的臉。

100% crop on the face / 百分百放大

Face is in focus but looks a bit soft, may be due to the fact I used 3200 ISO!

放大看臉算是對到焦，但不是很銳，可能是因爲我ISO調到3200太高了！

Missed focus on the face / 臉部沒對到

Sometimes the camera failed to focus on the face, I think this is due to the fact that I don't know the proper auto-focus settings.

有時候相機抓不到臉部，可是我認爲是因爲我對相機不熟悉不會設定。

Would I buy? / 我會買嗎？

Nope, at $4500 dollars for the body alone, and $2600 for the 70-200 f/2.8 lens, this is for the working professional. Besides, I have no need for fast shooting and fast auto-focus, the landscapes I shoot mostly don't move :)

不會，光機身就要 $4500 美元，70-200 鏡頭要 $2600 美，這相機完全是給專業的人士用的，更何況我拍的主題用不着快速對焦以及高速連拍的功能，畢竟我拍的風景通常是不太會動來動去 :)
