Superb AF performance, Next-gen connectivity, No viewfinder blackout
Fiddly menu system, No XQD/CFexpress support, Limited touchscreen functionality
The A9 II was designed specifically with the photojournalist in mind. For the average user, this camera will likely be overkill, with most of the new features going unused and under-appreciated. For the target audience though, this is one heck of an upgra...

Superb image quality for stills and video, Compact compared to peers, Huge, bright viewfinder, Fast AF and continuous shooting, 5-axis IS, Weather-sealed magnesium alloy body
Expensive, Huge menu system
With its price tag and DSLR-like build, the A99 II isn't for everyone. Even those demanding a full-frame camera have cheaper, more compact and easier to live with options in Sony's own E-mount cameras including the A7, A7S and A7R. And if you're already i...
Great 42MP full-frame stills, Fast hybrid AF system, 12 fps continuous shooting, Top-notch 4K video quality, Internal 5-axis stabilization
Small battery capacity, Odd video exposure and AF limitations, Future of A-mount system is uncertain
The A99 Mark II is a long time coming. Despite the quirks, Sony has delivered a winning camera. However, while peculiar autofocus limitations, especially in video mode, make for some annoyances, the biggest thing holding this camera back is the A-mount. S...
42.4-million-pixel full-frame sensor with fixed mirror is a landscape photographer's dream, sharp when paired with good glass, image stabilisation, excellent JPEG quality, strong feature set, performance in 8fps continuous high burst mode, superb 4k
Autofocus promises much but can't keep up in the 12fps continuous high+ burst mode, poor battery life, joystick is fiddly, improved processor again does not match the continuous high shooting modes, menus not available while buffer clears
On paper, the Sony Alpha 99 II sounds massively impressive. So is it good enough to cater for both professionals who want to print big and those who want to never miss a shot from its speed-focused setup?Well, the answer is an almost, but not quite.When i...
Given the four-year gap between the Sony A99 II and its predecessor, it's no surprise to see the A99 II as a significantly stronger camera. While many core features have, in some way, been upgraded – a higher-resolution sensor, more capable autofocus syst...
Stick with lenses sold by Sony, be they branded Sony or Zeiss, for the best results as you expect. Sony's GM lenses are especially excellent in every way on the A9 II.Adapting lenses of other brands, even though these lenses may be state-of-the-art on tho...

Abstract: Last updated: November 21, 2017If you're a serious enthusiast or working pro, the very best digital cameras on the market will cost you at least $2000. That's a lot of money, but generally speaking these cameras offer the highest resolution, the best buil...
Sony's new mirrorless A9 is much faster, Few new Alpha SLR lenses appearing, Poor battery life compared to DSLRs
The A99 II's specs are stunning. Never before have photographers been able to shoot at these frame rates and this resolution. The 79/399-point hybrid AF system is impressive too. The EOS-1D X II and Nikon D5 still have the edge for sports photographers, t...
