Searching for the best price on the Sony A1? I've got you covered as Adorama has dropped the price of the Sony A1 by £1,500 making it £5,499. The new Sony A1 II was revealed yesterday, which adds some AI autofocus smarts and some design tweaks - but this means that the older, but very similar, A1 is now down in price

The Sony A1 (also known as the Sony Alpha 1, or even the Sony ILCE-1) has turned the world of full-frame mirrorless cameras on its head! Its combination of power, speed, and performance is simply unprecedented. Needless to say, it's been in high demand by professional photographers, despite its price tag.

The Sony A1's headline features are its 8K video, the first time this appeared in a Sony mirrorless camera, its 30fps burst mode, and its 50MP sensor.

Previously, this wish list would have needed three separate cameras – the Sony A7S III for video, the Sony A9 II for sports, and the Sony A7R IV for resolution. But now you get Sony's best-ever video resolution, its fastest sports camera, and its second-highest resolution camera, all rolled into one - and now at an even better price!
