Sony Alpha Alpha 1 Black

A 50.1-megapixel full-frame stacked Exmor RS sensor enables 30fps burst shooting with 120 AF/AE calculations per second, capturing high-resolution stills with near-silent electronic shutter performance. 8K 30p 10-bit 4:2:0 and 4K 120p 10-bit 4:2:2 video recording provides flexible post-production headroom, and the sensor’s fast readout minimizes rolling shutter artifacts. This camera is best for sports and wildlife photographers requiring speed and detail, and professional videographers needing 8K production capabilities.
