I have two smaller good news on the new Sony A1II that will be announced next week on November 19:
1) Near SAME Sony A1 pricing: I got the Sony A1II pricing info for Europe: It’s 7.499 EUR. Back when the Sony A1 was launched in 2021 the camera had a price tag of 7.299 EUR. So this means we “only” got a 200 Euro increase that is definitely also justified by the inflation we had all across the globe. The Sony A1 price will drop soon worldwide. First official price drop have already been spotted at Sony France (500 Euro off) and Australia ($1100 AUSD off).
2) Shipment BEFORE Christmas: The Sony A1II will start to ship out in early December already. Usually new Sony cameras do ship out 2-3 months after announcement but in this case Sony seems to have made a new and better choice when it comes to availability.
Sony A1II rumored specs:
- Sony A9III body
- Same 50MP A1 sensor
- Pre-Capture
- 3.2 inch vari angle screen
- 8 stops stabilization (Sony A1 has 5.5 stops)
- 30fps

- AI chip which allows to have all the A9III goodies like accurate subject recognition, improved AF and so forth
- New 4.0 CFexpress Type A card for faster buffering
- Price 7499 Euro (not sure about price in dollar yet)
