Sony ILCE-1M2B a1 II Mirrorless Camera

The Sony a1 II is their most versatile camera yet offering the best overall mixture of speed, video capabilities, high-resolution stills, and a robust, professional-worthy body design.
It pulls much of the original a1’s well-rounded feature-set into an a9 III body and adds the AF and IBIS technologies introduced with the a7R V.
It’s a camera meant for working professionals, whether their sports, editorial, product, fashion, or advertising shooters, and it’s equally appealing to landscape, portrait, wedding, and event photographers, too.
And, beyond photography, it has the video tools the a1-series is known for, including 8K recording, along with useful stabilization and framing aids borrowed from the ZV class of cameras.

The a1 II brings Sony’s best technology from every lineup into one all-encompassing camera body making it the do anything camera solution for professionals.

Sensor and Processing Improvements
The original a1 was already known for its strong imaging performance and the a1 II improves on this with upgraded BIONZ XR processing, an AI processing unit, more powerful 8.5-stop IBIS, and the impressive 50MP stacked BSI CMOS sensor from its predecessor.
The sensor and processor still afford a top 30-fps shooting rate, expandable sensitivity from ISO 50-102400, and an impressive 15-stop dynamic range.
Additionally, on the speed front, the a1 II gains the Pre-Capture and Speed Boost functions that debuted on the a9 III.

– Up to 30 fps continuous shooting with an electronic shutter, or 10 fps with the mechanical shutter, with AF and AE supported.
– Pre-Capture Shooting records at up to 30 fps for up to 1 second prior to fully pressing the shutter, helping to ensure you don’t miss fleeting moments.
– Speed Boost lets you vary your continuous shooting speed mid-burst; when the C5 button is depressed while burst shooting, you can switch from the chosen continuous shooting speed to a faster or slower one to suit the pace of action you’re photographing.
– Refined 5-axis in-body image stabilization compensates for up to 8.5 stops of camera shake at the center of the frame and 7 stops at the periphery; an improvement of 3 stops of shake control compared to the original a1.
– Same full-frame 50MP stacked BSI CMOS sensor as the a1, mixing high resolution with the speed and reduced rolling shutter of a stacked design to suit both meticulous and quick-working shooters.

Smarter, Faster Autofocus and Subject Tracking
The a1 II’s focusing system received similarly significant upgrades from its predecessor, now sporting an AI Processing Unit and refined subject detection and tracking.
The phase-detection AF system itself still comprises 759 points, which cover about 92% of the sensor area, and support focusing down to -4 EV at f/2.
Subject tracking and subject detection is improved, too, specifically how the camera is 30% faster at detect human eyes and 50% faster with animal eyes.
