Best Camera I've ever used!

This is by far the best camera I've ever used in terms of the image quality, speed and autofocus. I've used A7 IV and A7R V extensively in the past. I always have some major complaints about these 2 models. The A1 II almost fixed all the complaints I had on these 2 models. The image quality out of this camera beats both A7 IV and A7R V. Autofocus is noticeably better than the A7 IV. The pre capture, 120 autofocus calculations per second and up to 30fps even with the tracking mode (which the original A1 lacks of) gets me the shots I would've otherwise missed. A true flagship hands down!

Unsure of upgrading!

It took me several months to make my mind up to trade in my A1 which was almost 4 years old having bought it soon after it was issued.. I'm so pleased I have moved on despite being very happy with the A1. The new functions included are perfect for wildlife and action photography which is my main interests. If you are reading my feedback with doubt in your, go for it, I'm pleased I did, It's a truly great camera.

Great camera. Would be greater if SONY's version of the RAW format was compatible with Mac's the way the Mark 1 was. Also, the version is still 1.0 necessitating a complex upgrade right out of the box. For Mac people, this is a problem/

Review the Sony a1 ii

I got the Sony a1 ii about 3 weeks ago and couldn't wait as I have the a6700 and a7iv for sports and to be honest am disappointed in the sharpness and quality of photos. I shoot sports and the only thing I like is pre-capture

This is the best camera I have ever used

I bought this A1 ii to replace my A1. The A1 is still a fantastic camera but the A1 ii is just amazing. The auto focus is soo good. the new floppy screen is so convenient. All in all it is the best camera I have ever used. I love it.

A1mk2

I like the ergonomics over the a1 mk1. Focus acquisition is excellent and a definite improvement. I was disappointed to see the same hot shoe cover as the A1 is still there. It lets water onto the contacts and the camera locks up. I did mention this when I bought the A1 but nothing has been done to address this weakness. If the mk2 locks up in the same way, I will have to resort to using a Nikon hot shoe cover Bs-3 to protect the contacts and prevent damp getting to them. I am not the only one to have this issue but so far it has been ignored by Sony. So a brilliant camera with one potential Achilles heel. Come on Sony listed to your users as I shouldn't have to be going to a third party rival at this price point.

Best camera on the planet

I have had the camera two weeks now, I can't believe how good it is. I use it mainly for wildlife, the tracking features are second to none, the low light capabilities are just amazing.

Definitely worth upgrading

I've had my A1 II for a week now but not much chance of using it so far due to the weather and work commitments. However, my initial thoughts. Note: I used the Mark Galer camset with a bit of Colby Brown and my own mods to get me going. I always liked the relatively small size of the Mk1, the Mk2 is larger but more comfortable with the shutter button better placed. The right-hand strap point slightly higher so it no longer rubs on my finger. The power switch is slightly more resistant/stiffer; a definite bonus as my Mk1 was always switching on in my camera bag. Although fractionally lighter, I don't notice it, probably due to the increased size making me think it's actually heavier ?? Low light performance is excellent and the improved IBIS awesome - you can hand hold are very low speeds. AI subject recognition is super-fast and sticky. I have it set to auto and it happily switches between dogs, cats and people. Nice to have the focus bracketing - I use it a lot for macro on my A7RV. I've taken a range of landscape and street photographs with the 24-70GM2 but lack of support for RAW in my chosen editor Capture One is holding me back a bit. I could use JPEG or HEIF but happy to wait. ON1 and Affinity Photo 2 do work with the Mk2 raw so will try them. Looking forward to trying BIF when I get the chance.
