The main improvements on the Sony A1II are obviously the new body and the new AI chip. But there are many smaller improvements that you might have missed. Our Facebook member Denz Ahmet made this list:

  • 120fps in high res mode EVF
  • 30 FPS AF Tracking (up from 20)
  • Multiple custom recalls per mode/new dial.
  • Drive mode change in Menu/ right hand option.
  • Improved AWB
  • 7% Larger buffer RAW
  • Better High ISO NR JPEG
  • Dynamic Active SteadyShot
  • LUT import for video
  • Focus Bracketing
  • Bulb timer.
  • Pre-set Focus Zoom.
  • Full time TMF all lenses.
  • Custom focus points.
  • Playback menu filter options
  • Auto subject selection
  • Release Lag customisation.
  • Auto framing in video
  • Focus Map in video.
  • Shot Marks in video.
  • Noise reduction RAW multi sequence
  • Dual battery charger in the box
  • Voice mic to metadata
  • Dual Eyecups
  • 2.5Gbps ethernet

I might add that another benefit brought by the Sony A1II is that the Sony A1 is now $1000 off at BHphoto, Amazon, Adorama, Fotokoch, FotoErhardt, WexUK.

I had a chat with some European store owners and it looks like reorders for this camera are strong. Which means they match or exceed expectations. This is a surprise as the first reaction on the web was quite mixed. Today also the US proerders will open and after that I will let you know what the sale numbers are!

P.S.: If my European readers are not happy with the Sony A1II know that today the price of the Sony A1 dropped by around 1000 Euro at Amazon DE, Fotokoch, FotoErhardt, WexUK.
