With its price tag and DSLR-like build, the A99 II isn't for everyone. Even those demanding a full-frame camera have cheaper, more compact and easier to live with options in Sony's own E-mount cameras including the A7, A7S and A7R. And if you're already i...
Superb AF performance, Next-gen connectivity, No viewfinder blackout
Fiddly menu system, No XQD/CFexpress support, Limited touchscreen functionality
The A9 II was designed specifically with the photojournalist in mind. For the average user, this camera will likely be overkill, with most of the new features going unused and under-appreciated. For the target audience though, this is one heck of an upgra...

42.4-million-pixel full-frame sensor with fixed mirror is a landscape photographer's dream, sharp when paired with good glass, image stabilisation, excellent JPEG quality, strong feature set, performance in 8fps continuous high burst mode, superb 4k
Autofocus promises much but can't keep up in the 12fps continuous high+ burst mode, poor battery life, joystick is fiddly, improved processor again does not match the continuous high shooting modes, menus not available while buffer clears
On paper, the Sony Alpha 99 II sounds massively impressive. So is it good enough to cater for both professionals who want to print big and those who want to never miss a shot from its speed-focused setup?Well, the answer is an almost, but not quite.When i...
