Our initial review of the Sony a1 was the highlight of a busy week of coverage. We also shared our sample gallery of the Sony FE 28-70mm and published two articles highlighting new and old trends in camera hardware manufacturing. You should also check out our video of Richard testing the Sony a1 at a recent NFL game if you missed it. As you’ll see, his knowledge of American football isn’t entirely on par with his knowledge of cameras. We hope all of our readers in the US have a Happy Thanksgiving too.
