Sony has announced the a1 II flagship mirrorless camera, retaining its
predecessor's 50.1-megapixel stacked sensor while adding AI capabilities and
improved stabilization. The camera features a new dedicated AI processor,
enhancing autofocus performance with claimed improvements of 50% for bird eye
detection and 30% for both animal and human subjects. Its in-body
stabilization system now offers 8.5 stops of correction. The a1 II maintains
the original's 30 frames-per-second shooting speed and 759-point autofocus
system. New features include pre-capture shooting with a one-second buffer
and a multi-angle LCD screen borrowed from the a9 III. Connectivity upgrades
include a 2.5Gbps Ethernet port, while dual card slots support both CFexpress
Type A and UHS-II SD cards. The Sony a1 II will be available mid-December for
$6,499.
