I am now seriously doubting my ability to use the A9 for more difficult but critical shoots because I have already seen many situations when the A9 simply failed to focus and I missed shots

Good luck and happy shooting!

With a world class focusing system and excellent image quality, you also get no-compromise silent shooting (totally silent), as well as a fast and clear EVF that lets you see your exposure before you shoot, even in the dark

This camera is a jack of all trades, but a master of one: getting the shot, fast

Always expect to have dual slot, better focusing for video shots and faster enough to capture all baby movements or sports to get the perfect shot

This is a camera that focuses on sports, so I want to know why I can't even take a clear shot at people just walking, without having unpleasant blurring & ghosting effects

The non-black out shooting is amazing, and once you use it you will never buy another camera for action photography that doesn't have it

Completely silent shooting with basically no distortion or banding
