I'm a bit disappointed with Sony, I contacted them to find out if and when the rumoured firmware update for the A1 was coming out to be told "there is no planed firmware update in the near future". Nikon in the Z8/9 have now moved ahead with some useful features for the type of photography I do.

It was due out in November but with the release of the A9iii it was delayed.

Just to explain, I used a friends Z8 with firmware 2.0 which gives the same update as 4.10 in the Z9. Apart from the quicker lock on for BIF that are smaller in the frame, I'm talking things like Ted Kites, once they get to a certain size the Sony tracks fine and focus is on the bird, the Z8 now stays locked on the eye which as we know is where you want the focus to be. Rant over.

What aspects of the A1 do you feel are deficient compared to a Z9. We posted at same time! I see your post about the Z8. If the Z8 had GPS then I would swap my Z9 for a Z8. I really like the fact that all the features of the Z9 are inside it and not dependent on an accessory hung off the camera. Have you tried the Z8/9 with flash as I still need to test that out. How does the electronic shutter behave? Are there any limitations or things to be aware of?

No Jonathan, I only had the use of it for the time we were at a nature reserve but it made an impression. If Nikon had the af working like it has now I would still be using Nikon.
