Yeah, he is an enthusiastic bugger. I'm interested in the A9 too or maybe the A9 II (no pun intended). But currently I'm pretty much finally happy with one A7 (the A7S). At the moment I'm waiting for more reviews on the 16-35 zoom and the Loxia lenses and eagerly waiting for the 28 f/2. Plenty to buy (and not buy) in Sony world. My interest in the A7II is from a research point of view. I'm interested in the real world difference from 30% AF improvement. I'm very interested in what Guy and the other early adopters find. I agree with the sentiment that short update cycles like Sony's mean you have to be patient and not think of buying every iteration. But once you understand that concept, then you really can enjoy the Sony circus from the sidelines without going broke eating all the cotton candy.Well back on topic... Here's Steve Huff's initial impressions. It's his usual overly enthusiastic (or pessimistic in some cases) but the shots DO look like like Sony did do some tweaking to improve the IQ judging from the JPEG's. The look is just a bit smoother and much closer to the look of the A7R to my eyes even at the smaller JPEG sizes.
I'm still waiting to see how that rumored A9 is going to come out but it adds some excitement to that upcoming release for me.
