Sony Alpha 1 (a1)

One camera. Very few compromises.

The Sony α1 combines the resolution normally associated with a high-megapixel camera with the speed expected from a professional sports body. Its 50.1MP stacked full-frame sensor and high-speed performance make it an exceptional all-round tool when you don’t want to choose between detail and speed.

Why hire it?

The α1 makes most sense when an important shoot demands exceptional capability but ownership doesn’t. Hire it for the race weekend, wildlife trip, sporting event or professional assignment where your existing camera becomes the limiting factor.

Ideal for

Wildlife · Motorsport · Sport · Landscape · Events · Professional hybrid shooting
