For a camera that launched with a price tag of just under 10 grand, this Click Frenzy bargain is an absolute steal!
The excellent Sony A9 full-frame speedster can be yours for a smidge over AU$3,599 during Click Frenzy Mayhem 2021, thanks to the very generous AU$1,589.60 discount on Sony Australia's online storefront.
That's the cheapest price we remember coming across for a camera that has it all – 20fps burst speeds, 5-axis stabilisation, crispy 4K video and practically perfect autofocus.
It's currently retailing between AU$4,500 and AU$5,500 at most Aussie retailers, so this truly is your best chance to snap up one of the best full-frame mirrorless cameras on the market.
Even though the Sony A9 II and the newer Sony A1 are creating buzz in the photography world, the original Sony A9 is still one of the best cameras we've tested. When it launched, it was arguably the most impressive full-framer we'd gotten our hands on. Its 24.2MP sensor is spectacular, so much so that it was inherited by the A9 II.
It's autofocus tracking is remarkable, whether you're locked on to an eye or a face. Then there's that blistering 20fps max continuous shooting speed that can capture an action in pinpoint sharpness. You're also getting in-body image stabilisation for that money, rated at 5 stops of compensation for camera shake.
Sure, you're not getting that 1GB/s Ethernet connectivity with the A9 (it's available in the A9 II), but if you can manage without it in the field, you really can't beat this price.
That saving can even snag you a lens or two for the A9. While there aren't any FE-mount sports-friendly lenses on sale this Click Frenzy, there are a couple of primes that are worth considering.
