Sony’s latest flagship mirrorless camera, the Sony Alpha A1 Body Only does it all with an unprecedented combination of resolution, speed and video performance, empowering professionals with a new high-resolution 50.1-megapixel full-frame image sensor, high-speed shooting at up to 30 Frames per second, 8K 30p 10bit 4:2:0 recording, 4K 120fps 4:2:2 video and more.

A brand new 50.1-megapixel full-frame stacked Exmor RS image sensor with integral memory has been paired with an upgraded BIONZ XR imaging processing engine enabling up to 120 AF/AE calculations per second and up to 8K 30p 10-bit 4:2:0 video. The Alpha 1 is also capable of 4K 120p / 60p 10-bit 4:2:2 recording and includes S-Cinetone colour. The Alpha 1 is also packed with features that support field professionals with faster workflow, including 3.5 times faster wireless FTP transfer speed and more. High-precision stabilisation unit and gyro sensors, plus optimised image stabilisation algorithms, achieve up to a 5.5-step shutter speed advantage, maximising the quality of the high-resolution images derived from the camera’s 50.1-megapixel sensor. The Alpha 1 also features an Active Mode that offers outstanding stabilisation for handheld movie shooting.

For the first time in an Alpha camera, the Alpha 1 offers 8K 30p 10-bit 4:2:0 XAVC HS recording with 8.6K oversampling for extraordinary resolution. Combined with Sony’s acclaimed autofocus technology, gradation and colour reproduction performance, the Alpha 1 will help the user realise their creative vision with the finest detail. It’s 8K footage can also be used for flexible 4K editing during post-production. 4K 10-bit recording with 4:2:2 subsampling is also available up to 120 fps for 5x slow motion.

Made to match professional Sony cinema cameras, the Alpha A1 Alpha 1 features S-Cinetone, the same colour matrix producing the highly regarded FX9 and FX6 colour and skin tones. S-Log3 gamma curve makes it possible to achieve 15+ stops of dynamic range, while the S-Gamut3 and S-Gamut3.Cine colour gamut settings make it easy to match Alpha 1 footage with video shot on VENICE cinema camera, FX9 and other professional cinema cameras.

A unique heat-dissipating structure keeps the image sensor and image processing engine temperatures within their normal operating range, preventing overheating while maintaining compact body dimensions. This makes it possible to record 8K/30p video continuously for approximately 30 minutes.

The Sony Alpha A1 features dual media slots supporting UHS-I and UHS-II SDXC/SDHC cards as well as new CFexpress Type A cards for higher overall capacity and faster read/write speeds. As one would expect from a flagship camera, the body is made with a durable magnesium-alloy chassis and dust and moisture resistant.
