What do you make of the Sony a1, with its detachable battery grip? Sony made it so that the camera could be compact when needed (ex. traveling or on a gimbal) and full-sized when weight isn’t an issue.
The Sony a1 is of course the choice of the Associated Press, and were heavily used at last year’s Olympics.

- sudosysgen 4y agoAll Sony fullframe mirrorless cameras have a detachable grip. I personally love it for just that purpose.
- heartbreak 4y agoYeah, I didn’t mention that but I use the same grip on my a9 series cameras that I use on my a1. It really is a nice setup that I think is under-appreciated. I went to a football game pre-a1 and had a 400mm 2.8 on the a9 II without the grip and I had multiple photogs carrying similar lenses with full size DSLRs on the back ask me about mirrorless. The difference in weight alone between my kit and theirs was astounding. It’s rare that something that game-changing appears in such an established market.
