Alpha 1 II

How does improving something make the outgoing version bad? That doesn't make any sense. Every new camera ever released has improvements over the prior generation. No matter how good something is, it can always be improved. Every manufacturer says exactly the same thing when their new camera drops.

Hey there! So these were taken on my A1 II with the Sony 200-600 G OSS and Sony 70-200 GM II. I know people like to think expensive cameras solve all the problems (seeing that daily working in a camera store), but that is really far from true. I’ve managed some amazing bird photos at Zealandia with

i think the whole thing about fuji autofocus being bad is a meme. i have no doubt you’re getting good hit rates with indoor basketball, just as i’m getting good hit rates with birds in flight. i have a sony a1 ii and the difference with my x-t5 isn’t that noticeable for real world stuff. but i’m not

If you're already in the Sony ecosystem, why not just get an A9 III? It's a global shutter and it will work with all of the glass you already use on the A1 and I'm assuming it has fantastic autofocus like the rest of Sony's stuff. It's expensive, but not really any more so than an A1 II or Komodo-X.

Despite having AF-C and a better focusing system, I am not sure I would choose the X2D II to shoot photos of kids or ppl in events. Sure, it can be done but it will not be as quick as the typical mainstream camera brands like the Canon R5 or Sony A7RV and so on. in my opinion, landscape and Real Est

Well, a lot of patience. The sliver didn't appear till well after sunset. I was about to give up. Used a skyview app to see where it should be. Kept panning. Found it. Variety of exposures. Mostly clear skies. The timing of location in the sky and sunset colors and moon phase lined up. Oh yeah, a so

Short answer: generally, yes, Nikon's latest generation of cameras is going to be better than any Sony APS-C body at AF. Long answer: about 5 years ago AF in mirrorless made a generational leap in performance, the first since we got PDAF on-sensor with the Nikon V1/J1, and saw significant improvemen

I had the Sony a6700 and 200-600 before getting my A1ii. It’s an amazing setup for bird photography. Super fast autofocus, great reach and image quality with the 200-600. Only downside is no pre-capture. You won’t notice any difference between APSC and full frame as an amateur. I’ve even shot the a6

It’s not stated in your list - but if you’re really after performance in the tier of the Sony A1 ii then I would recommend considering the Canon R5 mk 2 and use EF glass for a 400 f2.8 or a 500/600 f4. I would still definitely consider the Sony A1 ii to be among the most elite AF performance out the

*The RF mount is crazy limited, * There's multiple other areas canon is also "ahead" and others they are behind. Just like every other company. Canon arguably has the best first party "amateur to enthiusts" level of camera bodies and lenses. They really fleshes out both the entry level bodies to many
