I’ve used the Sony a1 extensively in the field and wanted to share some sample images with you today, including full-resolution original RAW files available for download! To make it easy to judge the image quality, the photos were taken at a variety of ISO values and under different lighting conditions. If you’re considering the Sony a1, these sample images should give you a good idea of the camera’s image quality in various real-world situations.

Two disclaimers before I share the images:

I retain full copyright over the following photos. You are welcome to download the original RAW images for personal use, but you may not republish the RAW files elsewhere online or use the images in any commercial capacity.
The RAW files below will not load unless you download them directly via this webpage on Photography Life. If you cut and paste the download links onto other websites, anyone who clicks it will get a 405 error message. This is done to minimize our hosting costs, which are extensive for such large files. If you want to discuss these sample photos on other websites, the easiest way is to link to this article’s URL and specify which Photo # you are referring to.
