If the A1 had this feature I am not sure that I would have bought the A9.3.
But now that I have gained some experience at 120 FPS on the A9.3, getting the A9.3 was the right way to go.
A frame rate of 120 vs 30 FPS is really a different ball game, not even close.
A buffer of 192 images allows for these shooting durations before the A9.3 slows down to 6 FPS:
• 120 FPS - 1.6 s
• 60 FPS - 3.2 s
• 30 FPS - 6.4 s
• 15 FPS - 12.8 s
unless the buffer can also being emptied while written to.
I am discovering some Peculiarities of Adobe Photoshop.
One can set the delay for each frame in seconds, 2 digits only.
I found the following behavior on my computer:
delay = 0.00 s ==> 10 FPS
delay = 0.01 s ==> 10 FPS, 100 FPS would be my expectation.
delay = 0.02 s ==> 50 FPS
delay = 0.03 s ==> 30 FPS
This is the first time I have used the insect mode and it seems to work well. This is a 12 Spot Skimmer Dragonfly and a Tule Bluet I think. When I took the photo I did not even realize there was another dragonfly on the reed.

Not the best light but here is what 120fps gets you. Seems to nail focus pretty much all the time with both the 600 and 200-600 with 1.4TC. Once again straight from Image Edge.
My initial impression is this bests the A1 by quite a bit for this type of scenario. No wind, birds flying around a tree, light a bit marginal so the worst situation to try getting shots.
Fun Gif's....I have question for New Mexicans. If you took that picture 20 years ago, would the hummers be Rufouses instead of Annas? I haven't had any Rufouses for five years, just Annas, with a very few Black Chinned, Calliopes, and with Costas showing up in town. Central Oregon
A couple of shots this afternoon. I think this is a crane fly of some type that landed on a Zinnia in our yard. Handheld with A9III 70-200 Macro GII lens and a 1.4 TC
