Sony newest full frame mirrorless A9 has been making waves in the industry with its class leading 20fps continuous shooting and incredible focus tracking.

Don't forget to bring a memory card with you or purchase one on the day.

For those attending the Sony walks, you will want a fast U3 or Class 10 (+90 MBPS) SD card to really see the A9 perform. This high performance camera is moving around a huge amount of data and a slow card will leave you waiting after you shoot a long burst series.
