The Sony A1 II Mirrorless Camera
The Sony A1 II boasts a state-of-the-art 50.1-megapixel full-frame Exmor RS CMOS sensor. This stacked BSI (Back-Side Illuminated) sensor represents the pinnacle of Sony's sensor technology, offering an exceptional balance between resolution and speed. The stacked design allows for faster data readout, contributing to the camera's impressive performance in both still photography and video recording.
One of the most impressive features of the a1 II is its revolutionary autofocus system. Sony has truly outdone itself here, implementing AI-powered subject recognition that can track a wide range of subjects with incredible accuracy. Whether you're photographing fast-moving athletes or birds in flight, the a1 II's autofocus will lock on and keep your subject sharp. The a1 II introduces a remarkable 8.5-stop In-Body Image Stabilization (IBIS) system, a significant leap forward from its predecessor. This enhanced stabilization effectively expands shooting possibilities, enabling handheld photography in lower light conditions and with slower shutter speeds.
The a1 II isn't just a stills camera; it's a video powerhouse capable of capturing stunning 8K footage at 30p with 10-bit 4:2:0 sampling. And if you need higher frame rates, it can also shoot 4K at 120p with 10-bit 4:2:2 sampling. The a1 II inherits some fantastic features from Sony's ZV series cameras, including Dynamic Active Mode Stabilization and Framing Stabilizer. These tools ensure smooth, stable footage, even when you're shooting handheld while walking or moving.
The a1 II inherits the robust body design of the a9 III, making it a comfortable and reliable tool for professionals. It's weather-sealed to withstand the elements, and it's compatible with the latest VG-C5 Vertical Grip for extended shooting sessions.
The a1 II also boasts an upgraded LCD and EVF. The 3.2" 2.1m-dot 4-axis multi-angle touchscreen LCD provides a clear and vibrant view, while the impressive QXGA OLED Tru-Finder EVF offers a high 9.44m-dot resolution and 0.9x magnification for immersive eye-level viewing.
