If you've got enough mega-pixels you don't even need that great of a
sense of direction or framing. You can crop it down to the image you
want in post.

have to know which direction to point the camera, how to frame the

If you want to pay the price.

So Sony's introduced the a9, a 20 frame/second 24mp camera with no
EVF blackout.  Everything about it seems great.  If I were a
professional sports photographer I'd really want this camera.  Yet
I am saddened by it as well.

It changes the skill set from knowing your equipment and the sport
you're covering to something more like the skill set of a WWII,
Russian sub machine-gunner detailed knowledge to get the right shot
isn't necessary anymore.

Now all you need is a general knowledge of where the action is most
likely to take place and you can really spray and pray.  Odds are
on every play something will be usable.

It's a triumph of digital technology and yet it makes me feel that something 
important has been lost.
