The Alpha 1 is still a true all-rounder - for both photography and video production. Although there are cameras with higher resolution, faster frame rates and comparable 8K functionality, they hardly offer all the features at the same time.

Sony has shaken up the professional segment of the system camera market with the Alpha 9 III. The model is the first full-frame system camera to feature a global shutter sensor. This means that with this model, the image sensor is read out completely in one step instead of the pixels being read out line by line one after the other...
With the SL3, Leica has created a very good full-frame camera that impresses above all with its high resolution. The autofocus still lags behind the competition from Canon, Nikon and Sony; firmware updates could bring improvements here. The best competitor models are also ahead in terms of continuous shooting and some features...

With a price range from 890 to 8000 euros, there should be something to suit almost every budget. High-resolution medium and full-frame cameras offer top performance in terms of image quality. Robust, fast and excellently equipped cameras can also be found in the APS-C and MFT range...

Our test results clearly show the advantages and disadvantages of the new technology: for the first time, extremely fast image series and videos are possible without any rolling shutter effect or problems with flickering artificial light and there are also new possibilities with flash. However, this is offset by higher image noise and a lower dynamic range...

The Alpha 1 is a real all-rounder, for photography as well as video production. There are cameras with higher resolution, faster frame rates and comparable 8K functionality, but hardly any with all these features at the same time. The closest thing to the Alpha 1 would be Canon's EOS R5 and Nikon's Z 9 - or the Alpha 9 Il for pure in-house sports photography...
