Alpha 1 II

Yes. The 70fps is 12 bit, accessible through speed priority. Image priority is 60 fps in 14 bit. My guess is people care a lot more about Sony because the a7 series has always had fairly slow e shutter capability. And that this 30fps puts it at the same speed as the A1/ii

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

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, you said the purpose was to split hair so I answered. One could also say the Z8 is only marginally better than the Z6 III for twice the price, and actually has a worse IBIS and EVF. The Z8 has 2 different slots, one takes CF, the other takes SD. The Z9 has 2 CF-only slots. Sony has hybrid slot

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

I own an insane setup, the Sony A1ii with a Sony 300mm f2.8 lens. If I were to go back and buy something else for birding specifically I’d 100% go with the Olympus OM1mkii and whichever lens is in your budget. Smaller, more compact lenses, I already crop like crazy on full frame most of the time. Th

You need to define what you mean by "functionality" then. Sony's the A9 III does a few things better than Nikon's z8 / z9 flagships : global shutter capable of 120 pictures / second in burst mode at max resolution + flash sync up to 1/80000s better EVF with ~3x the resolution and twice the framerate

I'd say there are six options from the main three brands, in two categories: Brand-New mid-range pro cameras:Canon R6 IIISony a7VBoth of these have 33MP, fast burst, good video, the Sony has higher IQ, the Canon is faster, but they're very close cameras. Personally I'd go Sony every time because of

The Z8 is the most insane value proposition I have seen in ~30 years of photography, and that is not hyperbole. It is a genuine flagship camera with the closest direct competition costing $7,000 USD (Sony A1 II). Even brand new, the Z8 is literally half that price. Even ignoring inflation, you could

A1 II is an incredible camera and nobody is disputing that. It's the best AF system ever built and 50mp is not bad. But it doesn't solve the specific problems we're working around in other places. The core issue for me is SOOC color science. Sony's color rendering is accurate flushed out, flat, stra
