You should see full metadata for each image.

This post was scheduled to go live the minute the image embargo is lifted - I however, will be in bed catching up on some sleep.

If the images cannot be accessed for some reason I will fix the problem when I wake up. 

In the meantime watch this video 4K on a large screen: https://youtu.be/37ZHh1VRVJU

Thank You for sharing the pictures. Other reviews when I put in the search bar A1on YouTube like Tony ( I personally do not follow) , only talked about it so this leaves us to wonder could it be user or is it the camera. Its very obvious by your examples what this camera can do all we need now is to learn from you how to get the most out of our new Sony A1camera, during March. Thanks so far.

These images and your comments are very helpful. Have decided to change my a9ii bodies for the a9a 1 ...your initial results (especially since they are not the raw files) are very encouraging ...hope your normal careful and thorough review will put Tony Northrup's comments about cannot keep up to 30fps on moving subjects and AF and or stabilization issue comments into context. I think Sony has an absolute marvel with this new model

Mr. Northrup’s review is not that reliable for me due to the shooting conditions. Unless the A1 has some built in heater I’m not aware of the minimum operating temperature is 32F on my Ariv and A9ii. He tested the A1 at 19F for a couple of hours and the at beginning of the video you can see that the lens and camera were not protected by any type of insulating wrap. I would not consider subjecting any of my equipment to that cold of air for more than a few minutes with out some type of insulation.

I am not convinced Tony knows how to set up a Sony and most of the things that appear on his big screen are not photos but text. I don’t actually remember seeing too many photos at all that impress me. I see dry test images. I am always disappointed that Sony give Tony a camera so early. In this case an Ambassador or Artisan should have had the opportunity to talk first. Tony would be less inclined to give negative opinions if a strong body of work was already available to the public. My photos will be lucky to reach 10% of Tony’s followers.

Let's pretend the a1 I just ordered thanks to your video has already arrived (I want it NOW !!!), and I push the big button and get a lot of very big (awesome) photos. Now what / what do I need? This will be my first high MP camera. I have an Adobe suite for post. Is that enough for the various file types and sizes. Thanks

If you intend to shoot Raw files at 30 frames per second you will need a very fast external hard drive to store your images (USB3, USB-C or Thunderbolt connections with fast hard drives or SSD drives). Alternatively you will need to learn the habit of culling everything you have not rated each day you shoot. I ended up with 1TB of Raw files on my new computer after just 3 days of shooting. 'Suite' (Create Suite) sounds old - I am hoping you mean CC as old software and old computers will struggle with editing Raw files from cameras such as the A1 and A7RIV cameras. You will need a computer with at least 16 GB RAM and a computer that has at least a quad core i7 or i9 processor or one of Apple's new processors.

My computer has been serving me well with my A7R4 and processing in Lightroom hopfully it can with the A1also. My recreational work flow will not be needing to have a lot of photos one after another just a few that hit the right focus will be what Im looking for. Happy I have the 135GM. Also have the 100 to 400GM, hoofuly that lense works well with A1. Ill be getting the 35GM when the camera gets here too. Will you be testing the new 35GM too with the A1? One good review said that when he got his A1 to review the box came with a Sony fast card . Will our box come with one too? Did you get one?

Eugene McLean

Thanks very much. How many CFexpress A cards will you carry for each shoot ?

I’ve been checking the Sony self-support daily looking for the ILCE-1 (A1) and it’s listed this morning. There’s not a web based manual posted yet but in the downloads is a new version of the Imaging Edge (Ver 7.5) published on 1/26 and it supports the ILCE-1. Hopefully they’ll publish the web based manual soon so that we can familiarize ourselves with this new model prior to delivery. I’ve usually been able to find answers to most of my questions when using the web based manuals in conjunction with of course Mark’s awesome reviews, videos and e-books.

I'll use the 100-400 GM at a Triathlon event on the 14th if I can get the camera back for a second test. The longer focal lengths are my priority with the A1 until I have the luxury if time. Sony supplied me with am 80 GB CF-Express Type A card when they loaned me the camera. It really should have been the 160 GB for the type of testing I was doing (50MP at 30fps). It would invariably fill up very quickly in the middle of the shoot. I am not sure if they will supply a card with purchase but the buffer will not clear as quickly as an A9 or A9II if using an SDXC-II card. I was also using the CF-EXPress card reader they loaned me as the USB-C connection from the camera was playing up when I tried to transfer images directly from the camera.

I would personally want to use two 160 GB CF-A Express Type A Cards if I was going to shoot an entire event. If you are shooting at less than 20 fps you may be able to manage with fast SDXC-II cards or the smaller 80GB CF Express Type A cards.

I have been supplied with the link but it has not gone live yet. I have not yet had time to look at the Raw files in Imaging Edge and may wait for Lightroom to support the files. As a Lightroom Beta tester I should be able to get an early release that supports the A1.

Eugene McLean

FYI - Sony USA has populated the Lens Compatibility table for the A1. Totally absent from the table is my beloved FE 55mm F1.8 ZA. (Also gone is the a7iii's kit lens, the FE 28-70mm F3.5-5.6 OSS.)

Eugene McLean

In you review please pay special attention to the A1's low light performance. Some reviews say it's better but on paper it looks the same as the A7R4 and less than the A7iii. Thanks

I get the impression that most reviewers rarely leave their home office to take photos. My idea of posting full-resolution images captured at high ISO (with zero noise reduction) was an attempt to defuse premature comments from people who don't like, or who are paid not to like, Sony. I have seriously considered giving up reviewing new Sony cameras until such time Sony stop giving cameras to a few reviewers who are neither very good at taking photos or who know how to set up a Sony camera - all this does is create me additional work I don't need and I can only reach a percentage of their photographic communities they have sowed seeds of doubt to. All I can advise is to please wait for my in-depth review before allowing these people to poison your opinions.

This doesn't make the excellent FE 55 F/1.8 ZA a poorer lens because it does not appear on a chart. If it can only take pin-sharp images at 15 frames per second and can't shoot birds in flight or motorsports then I don't think this devalues the 55 as a very useful lens. Sony seem to be in a process of replacing the Zeiss designed lenses so I wouldn't be at all surprised if the ZA lenses start getting dropped off all of Sony's lens charts.

Mark - Your in-depth analysis is greatly appreciated. There is so little on the internet that can even match it.
