Still one of the best pro cameras you can buy still after 5 years, The A9 series were world leaders in new and advanced technology and way ahead of their competition, with 25mp and 20 frames per second with 0 blackout and beautiful images with fantastic video caperbilities what is there not to like a wildlife or sportspersons dream camera and still is especially paired with the 100-400gm and the 200-600g lens

I've had this camera just over a year now and I'm so happy with this camera there still room for improvement but these results of just some of the 1000s of pictures I've taken are so rewarding to me.

Great Camera Except??. It needs more Megapixels. It is pretty good in all other realms and could be improved in time by adding more functionality.

I was looking to upgrade from a different make/model and the lovely people at Wex recommended the Sony A9ii after listening to my requirements. Although being a little nervous having never used Sony photography equipment before. I'm extremely happy with both the camera, lens and 1.4x teleconverter. It has been really simple to transition from my previously preferred model. I really like the layout of the buttons across the camera, the easy to use menu and really love the AF and real-time eye. Love it!

Bought the A911 in Nov21 ,getting cash back was very fraught due to picky support procedures, accepting photo evidence ok then not ok. The firmware procedure even more confusing,why so complex, still have not been able to update Have been back to wex twice for problems.Not good enough for the price.

Fab camera but read my review re raw imports !!
By footprint p.
I already have the a9 mk1 so know how good this camera is, At the moment though - mid Nov 2019 - the camera is not worth using due to Sony / Adobe (not sure which) not sorting out the ability to import raw files from this camera into Lightroom. There is a labourious workaround involving downloading additional software, importing the raw fils as tiffs and then importing those into LR but what a pain it is to do that. Come on Sony /Adobe please get this sorted asap
The Sony A9ii is the correct choice if your photography involves subjects in motion...PERIOD. 20FPS Awesome
By Gary G.
I received my A9ii on November 7th from Adorama. For reference, I had an A7r2 and now have an A7r3 in addition to the A9ii. These 2 cameras have very different skills. For detailed pictures of slow or stationary subjects, the high resolution A7r3 (or the newer r4 of course) would be the proper tool. The A9ii specialty is capturing subjects in motion. I've tried many times to capture birds in flight with varying degrees of success with the A7r3. Either the focus was off or the 10FPS & EVF blac...

The brand-new Sony Alpha a9 II mirrorless camera boasts improved connectivity, a refined body design, and faster performance alongside the existing features of its predecessor. A full-frame 24.2-megapixel Exmor RS BSI-stacked CMOS sensor and an enhanced BIONZ X processor makes it a quick and responsive camera. The a9 II supports up to 20 fps of continuous shooting with its silent electronic shutter and has a mechanical shutter for capturing images at up to 10 fps. Shooting with this mirrorless body in different lighting conditions is possible thanks to its wide sensitivity range that can reach up to ISO 204800. The A9 II sensor features a 693-point autofocus system with intelligent subject tracking and Real-time Eye AF. It records Ultra HD 4K videos at up to 30 fps and includes Quick and Slow Motion modes. The camera also minimizes the appearance of camera shake by up to 5.5 stops thanks to its 5-axis SteadyShot INSIDE stabilization. The Sony Alpha a9 II is more ergonomic and has a better weather-sealed build and connectivity capabilities. It incorporates dual UHS-II SD card slots for versatile storage and allows quick file-sharing using its Ethernet port, 5.0 GHz wireless sharing, and Bluetooth features.
From the world’s largest sensor manufacturer comes the fastest 35mm full-frame 24.2 MP stacked Exmor RS CMOS sensor, which includes several features that contribute to incredible high-speed performance and outstanding image quality. Separate circuit and pixel layers allow for a significant increase in processing speed for the large volume of data that can also be temporarily stored in internal memory.
The combination of this advanced sensor and evolved BIONZ X processing enables blackout-free continuous shooting at up to 20 fps with up to 60 AF/AE tracking calculations per second, silent vibration-free electronic shutter speeds up to 1/32000 sec, Anti-Distortion Shutter operation, and other capabilities that add up to unprecedented speed from a full-frame camera without interference from mechanical devices.
Capture all the action at the highest speed. A combination of groundbreaking high-speed full-frame stacked Exmor RS CMOS sensor with integral memory and BIONZ X processor with DRAM enables incredible completely silent continuous shooting up to 20fps at full 24.2MP resolution in RAW+JPEG with continuous AF/AE (autofocus and auto exposure) tracking at 60 calculations per second3 and no EVF or LCD blackout.
The extremely high readout speed of the Alpha 9 II Exmor RS sensor allows for autofocus and auto exposure (AF/AE) to be calculated up to 60 times per second3 and is virtually uninterrupted, both while composing the image and even upon releasing the shutter. You can depend on the continuous autofocus to lock onto and track erratically moving subjects with significantly high speed, precision, and reliability.
Designed to improve the speed of news agencies workflow, the Alpha 9 II features a Voice Memo function that allows spoken information to be attached to images which can convey important information when sent to the editor. Voice memos up to 60 seconds in length can be recorded and attached as a WAVE file with the same name as the image file which can be transferred via FTP along with the corresponding image data without the need for additional equipment or software.
Voice memos can be read into the Transfer & Tagging add-on application and automatically converted to text captions in regions where Google services are available. The Transfer & Tagging add-on application can then automatically add the converted text to JPEG images in the form of IPTC metadata, or the text can be manually copied and pasted as required. When using the Transfer & Tagging add-on application to transfer images with attached voice memos from a smartphone to an FTP server, it is possible to select JPEG only or JPEG+WAVE for transfer.
By combining the automatic voice to text conversion and text embedding functionality with the application’s ability to auto transfer images with attached voice memos via FTP, it is possible to automatically embed text information in images with attached voice memos that have been transferred from the camera to the smartphone and upload the results to an FTP server without having to operate the smartphone.
Over the years, the Alpha a9 II Mirrorless Camera has been specifically designed to cater to the demanding needs of professional sports photographers and photojournalists. This high-quality, advanced camera delivers unparalleled performance, including blackout-free continuous shooting at a remarkable speed of up to 20 frames per second. This is coupled with Auto Focus and Auto Exposure tracking that performs 60 calculations per second, ensuring every shot is perfect.
In addition to continuous shooting at up to 10 fps with a mechanical shutter, the Alpha a9 II boasts an evolved Artificial Intelligence autofocus system. This innovative feature includes Real Time AF tracking, ensuring accurate image acquisition every time. The camera's built-in connectivity and file delivery are tailored to suit the professional's workflow, with file transfer over SSL or TLS encryption (FTPS) for enhanced data security.
The Alpha a9 II is a product of the world's largest sensor manufacturer and features the fastest 35mm full-frame 24.2 MP1 stacked Exmor RS CMOS sensor.
