Sony A9 II

Pros: ergonomics, autofocus, high ISO resistance, configurability

Cons: for now nothing

Opinion: I have been using this camera for over a year and almost exclusively with FE 200-600 for nature photos on static subjects or in flight. For now I am very satisfied with his behavior at every opportunity. Immediate autofocus engagement and tracking of the subject in flight always precise and reliable. The behavior at high ISO is very valid and this is decisive with fast subjects such as birds where you must necessarily use very fast times (even when stationary I never fall below 1/500 and in flight below 1/3200) which therefore make you inevitably raise the ISO. Another very valid aspect is the configurability of the buttons. In practice I keep the camera always in a suitable configuration for static subjects and then I have 3 other buttons that just pressed make me switch instantly and temporarily to the most suitable configuration for other situations such as for birds in flight, where I use different focus area, fast burst, very fast times, etc. The battery is not that it lasts very long but with a couple of spare you do all day. I also saw that more than the number of shots depends on the time that remains on (with burst shots makes many, always over 1000 without problems). Now with the A1 this camera has lost the scepter of Sony leader but the behavior at high ISO should be compared because if with the A1 you can crop more, and this is very useful in naturalistics, the final qualitative result of the image should then be seen, especially when there is not much light, which is very frequent in this type of photographs. Ultimately.... excellent machine for nature or sports photographs....
