Published 01/10/2016

The new A99 II boasts a 42.2MP resolution, 79 AF points, 12fps burst shooting, 5-axis image stabilisation built-in and, naturally, a full frame sensor. Introducing the new camera, Yosuke Aoki, Vice President for Sony Europe told us 'Sony never compromise on speed and picture quality.'

Seventy-nine cross type AF points work simultaneously in tandem with 399 AF points. It also offers a Super 35mm mode, which collects 1.8x more info than 4K, thereby providing 15MP equivalent images.

Sony’s target audience for the camera is professionals and enthusiasts, including those who photograph sports and wildlife, whilst the A99 Mark II is compatible with all existing Sony A-mount lenses.

Headline features aside, the A99 II also offers a three axis tilting LCD, dual media slots, an XGA OLED viewfinder, front multi controller, revamped intuitive menu, a ‘downsized design’ where compared with its predecessor, a tough magnesium alloy body that is dust and moisture resistant, plus a durable shutter unit claimed to be able to withstand in excess of 300K operations. Shipping is from this November, with pricing expected to be around 3,600 Euros.
