Sony has announced the A1 II, the successor to the 2021 A1. The manufacturer has given this Alpha-series flagship the upgrade it needed to bring it in line with its other cameras. The camera will be available in shops from December 2024.

The Sony A1 was a camera that was far ahead of its time technologically. The A1 II has received a number of upgrades. It uses the same 50 MP stacked sensor, but with the latest processor.

With an additional AI processor built in, the A1 II gets the same subject recognition as the A9 III. Like the A9 III, the A1 II also has 120 AF/AE calculations per second and a pre-capture mode. The camera can shoot at up to 30 frames per second.

The camera has the design and ergonomics that we also see on the A9 III. There is a fully articulating and tilting LCD screen. There is up to 8.5 stops of image stabilisation in the centre of the image, and 7 stops for the rest of the image.

The video capabilities are almost the same as those of its predecessor, apart from a few details. There are 8K 30p and 4K 120p recording options in 10-bit 4:2:2. Autoframing is available, as is breathing compensation, and you can use custom LUTs.

The Sony A1 II can already be pre-ordered, but will be available from December 2024. This flagship camera costs 7,499 euros.
