Pros: Refined ergonomics with new grip (in particular shutter button and hand grip), improved menu but still at times "incomprehensible", shutter anticipation up to 1 sec, new articulated monitor a9 III style (practically the same), high ISO grip improved by 2/3 of a stop vs a1; stabilization not comparable to A1 = improved but I would say 5 stops, wide dynamic range with faithful colorimetry especially in backlit photos; Double battery charger included. Interesting crop capability at 21MPX (very useful in the field). A new feature is the dedicated microphone for voice notes, which is integrated directly into the back of the camera. Speed boost on the C5 button (customizable)

Cons: Price TOO HIGH considering the "upgrade" package ... but it is practically the top for every photographic genre! Much more could/should have been done considering the purchase figure. For sports use only, certainly better a9III

Opinion: My review will be limited to the first impressions of using AF (in particular continuous): absolutely the best autofocus system on the market, with "crazy" features!! Almost full coverage of the sensor by the focus points, AF performance above a1 in near-dark conditions (up to EV - 5.0), continuous operation up to f/22, new tracking function that allows you to adjust the AF sensitivity according to the speed of the subject "stable/standard/responsive". As already present on the a9III, a novelty is the introduction of XL and XS size AF points; There is the possibility to create custom focus areas via rings and wheels without any problem in an intuitive way. This allows for greater flexibility in composition, which is especially useful for wildlife and sports photography. Introduction of an AI chip dedicated to AF that improves the recognition of complete human poses (not only face/eyes), animals etc. (I don't think that modules for plane, car and train are needed in the field ...); Also introduced is an auto mode of "intelligent" autofocus adjustment that selects the subject to be tracked in an "intelligent" way by importing all the orange flegs set in the individual menus (human, animal, bird, etc.) so that you no longer have to worry at the beginning/during a session or even more if during the shooting of a scene there are sudden and unexpected "subject variations". One of the most interesting functions among those implemented is the pre-shooting, which records up to 30 fps with AF/AE tracking active before the full press of the capture button, allowing you to never miss the decisive moment, particularly useful in "dynamic" photography in general. In deadly backlight the AF-C without any uncertainty ... Practically the pinnacle of the updated Sony by importing the latest news on the a7R5 and a9III. I don't write anything about the video because I don't use it. As far as ISO invariance is concerned, this camera has a sensor that is certainly ISO-invariant: it holds well from -5 to + 2 EV without significant variations in chrominance with a change towards magenta or false colors. Almost in closing, I emphasize that one of the main features of the Exmor RS sensor of the A1 II is its read out, or the speed with which it can sample the scene: in any mode, both video and photographic, it is always high and therefore the classic defects due to the rolling shutter are very (really) reduced (not even remotely comparable to the a7RV), I didn't run into the rolling shutter in nature which was too invasive on the A7R5 I owned. In photography you can count on an excellent mechanical shutter, very quiet and active up to 1/8000s, while the electronic allows you to go up to 1/32000s. In closing, if a photographer owns a1 and manages to monetize "well" by selling it as used, in my opinion it makes sense to take a1 MKII because it has improved in everything ... Not improvements, however, from the "blast of trumpets": I would say made even more performing than an already high-level flagship in the previous model. However, I emphasize that Sony's real "technological" flagship of the year 2024 remains in my humble opinion the a9III (but it is very specialized and extremely sectoralized).

Pros: lightness, improved menu, shutter anticipation, new articulated monitor, really effective high ISO maintenance

Cons: For the moment nothing apart from the price

Opinion: today tested the new Sony a1m2 in the field, kept at high isos really improved in a very evident way I would say that from 2500 to 10,000 tested today compared to the a1 a big step has been taken, deadly autofocus, only some small uncertainty on yellow and light colors, I have not yet tested all the types of autofocus which are really many I limited myself to the chase with large area and wide area. the pre burst is really effective with a second set in the advance it is practically impossible to make a mistake in an action, the only thing is the autofocus to find the right one to use the one you use it. other things I would say that I haven't had time to test them yet.
