I didn't think I would say this, but it's easily the best camera I've ever touched and it could 'almost' replace my A1. Now my A1 mk1 feels quite dated lol.
Battery grip feels great. So glad we finally get aspect guides and a ton of other quality of life improvements over the RV that will serve me very well.
FL2 is beautiful. The auto white balance better. I actually feel like I could use the JPEGs SOC. Menus and processing just feels faster.
Besides portrait sessions, I want to try using it for day 1 football practice but I am a little nervous about panning and with it and ES distortion for vertical lines like poles, and balls. I noticed the distortion and bending poles immediately when panning a motorcycle going by my house. Also the rear screen still kind of sucks and is still way too dark. The EVF is incredible tho.
Have to figure out the best way to set this thing up now. Off to YouTube University I go.
Hi Moses. I asked ChatGPT to help me with the initial setup and it got me going. Not perfect, and a deep dive needed on specific areas, but a good starter guide.

If you opt for the lossy compressed RAW for fast action photography, such as sport or wildlife, the AF calculation rate is higher than using lossless compressed RAW for better AF performance. Of course not quite that of the A1 II though. In addition, you will get less rolling shutter effect. For fast action photography, it doesn't matter much, if any, since you are not going for fine art output anyway. But, off course, for other types of photography, you switch back to lossless compressed.
