I have owned numerous Nikon DSLR over 8 years. The last Nikon was a D810. It became an extension of my eyes and hands, it was very easy to use and adjust to capture the perfect photo.
I specialize in motor sports photography and I need a camera with a fast shooting speed, accurate AF and good ISO capability. It was obvious to me that the Sony A9 was the camera for me. I also bought a Sony FE 24-105mm and Sony FE 200-600mm lens. The Sony FE 24-105mm purpose for me is to serve as a general photography lens, the Sony FE200-600mm I will use primarily for motor sports and wildlife. I would like to get a fast wide angle zoom and a fast 70-200mm in the future.
Right from the start I realized that the A9 is a much more complicated camera to use compared to the D810. I am eager to make the A9 an extension of my eyes and hands just like the D810 was.
I visited NYC yesterday with my family, it was a rainy, cloudy day. The purpose of our day trip was not for me to take photographs therefore I did not spend much time on composition and learning how to use the camera.
For these shots I was at f8, ISO6400, all handheld with the FE24-105. Global adjustments made in Lightroom.
Here are some of my first shots with the A9. Please critique if you'd like.
