"The 35mm full-frame stacked Exmor RS CMOS sensor enables data speed processing at up to 20 times faster than previous Sony full-frame mirrorless cameras," the company said in a statement.

The new electronic shutter operates silently without any mechanical noise that can be disruptive when shooting sports, events or wildlife in a quiet environment.

The a9 is equipped with a five-axis image stabilisation system that provides a shutter speed advantage of 5.0 steps.

The camera offers ultra-high quality video content that can be created with support of 4K (3840x2160p) video recording.
