Is the Sony A1, Sony's most expensive full-frame mirrorless Alpha camera, worth the eye-watering price tag?
One of the most significant new design features is the dials on the top of the body. The A1 has all the design features you'd expect from a Sony camera — mode dial, exposure compensation, customizable buttons, etc., so we won't go too much into that. Still, a few newer features make this camera exciting.
This camera also has an updated menu system which is much more intuitive than previous models. The layout is a thousand times better and easier to navigate. The A1 also offers lossless compressed RAW files, which no other Sony camera does. Lossless compressed is essentially the same image quality as uncompressed raw files, but the camera finds intelligent ways to get rid of some of the information which isn't of any use. The file size of a lossless compressed file comes out at about half the size of an uncompressed raw file with basically no quality loss, making it much more efficient and less of a strain on your storage system.
One of the more significant issues this camera faces when shooting 8K video is overheating. It performs well in a temperature-controlled climate, but the video shooting time dramatically reduces under direct sunlight, even when the overheating level warning is set to high. It averages around 90 minutes of shooting time before it shuts down due to overheating. This is fine for many of what users would need it for, but it would not be ideal if you are shooting long podcasts or concerts.
