Don't forget the state tax on top of that in the US, or the VAT in the UK (and EU? Not sure about whether the EU does VAT, too?).....

NH has no sales tax.
Ah, right!!! Ditto for Delaware, come to think of it, and a couple of other states as well.....
I get to give Florida an extra $390.
Then another $400-600 for a cfexpress card and reader.
I will need a new L bracket......
I better stop or I will cry

Unless I misinterpreted things, I was pleased to note that one can still use SD cards in the new camera, too, rather than having no choice and absolutely having to go with those CF Express cards.... ??
The way I read it is similar to the Nikon D5. You can choose whether to get one that takes CF Express OR SD. Not both.
If anyone wanted to soften the blow of the A1 price by selling a lightly used A9m2, I'd be willing to take one for the team 
I will sell mine at some point.
This was bugging me so I looked around and found this:
"Further underlining the Sony A1's pro leanings are its connectivity are card slots. You get two CFExpress Type A slots (which also accept UHS-II SD cards)". Sounds pretty clear to me.
You beat me to it Connie.
Always exciting to have a new camera on the scene, I'll be watching those of you that actually get one.
The spec is great. Can't wait to see the images when you guys have it.
I "should" be one of the early ones- been on the waiting list since dec 14th.
Unfortunately I suspect my images will not change. Hopefully I am wrong.
I'll be posting here shortly after getting my hands on one.
I sure hope capture one and dxo can read the raw files by then.

It will take me a little while to be able to get this camera, and I know it won't be at release time, but maybe by late spring/early summer my piggy bank and I'll be ready.....
Supposed to be available in March, but we shall see.

Right....and March would be a dandy time for me to give myself a nice birthday present, but I know my finances won't be ready at that point, so I just have to wait a little longer than the first-adopters. I'll be avidly following all the details and looking at all the images, though!!!
The irony of it all is that we are swooning over cameras that can do 45-50 MP and we are posting in much less resolution. When is enough enough? I'm no better than anyone else with my 45 MP Canon R5, at a measly 20fps.....
For me it's finding one camera body that can do it all. Closest for me to date is the D850. The high rez sensor is great for landscape and wildlife portrait prints and in DX crop mode it's like a built in D500. The pixels are more useful than the super high frame rates.
I absolutely agree. This is a new tool and nothing more.
Like any other tool, we need to know how we are going to present our work to know what we need.
If the images are going on your Instagram or facebook account- you really don't need this.
Heck, if you are publishing in a book you do not need this size- 25mp would be more than enough.
Personally I print big. Print I am delivering this week is 72"x36". At times I need every pixel.

Your D850 also has focus bracketing, which the Sony a1 apparently doesn't have. However, after spending so much money on a Sony a1, it's a relatively small amount to spend on a third-party device to do the focus bracketing, albeit in a more clunky fashion than when it's built into the camera.
