- Improved stabilization and ergonomics make it more user-friendly.
- High dynamic range and ISO performance that are competitive with rivals.
- Retains the versatility of being effective for both photography and video.
- High price point may not be suitable for amateur photographers.
- Limited improvements in burst rate and shutter speed compared to the original α1.
- No automatic image combining for Pixel Shift; reliance on external software for processing.
- Packaging quality perceived as underwhelming for a premium-priced camera.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pros:
- Exceptional Autofocus Performance: The dedicated AI processor significantly enhances subject detection and tracking, making it particularly effective for moving subjects.
- Improved IBIS (In-Body Image Stabilization): Enhanced stabilization offers up to 8.5 stops of compensation, allowing for smoother hand-held shooting even with longer lenses.
- High-Resolution Sensor: The 50MP stacked BSI CMOS sensor delivers remarkable detail and dynamic range, making it suitable for various types of photography, including landscape and portrait work.
- Fast Burst Shooting: Capable of shooting up to 30 frames per second with full autofocus and exposure tracking, catering to high-speed action photography.
- Enhanced Video Capabilities: Supports 8K recording at 30p and 4K at 120p, providing filmmakers with versatile options and high-quality footage.

- Full Articulating Touchscreen: The updated fully articulated touchscreen LCD greatly enhances usability, especially for vlogging and creative angled shots.
- Robust and Weather-Sealed Build: Constructed with a magnesium alloy body, the α1 II offers significant durability and protection against the elements.
- Customizable Controls: Numerous customizable buttons and dials allow users to tailor the camera’s functionality to their shooting style.
- Highly Competitive ISO Performance: The α1 II shows significant improvement in low-light performance, making it viable to shoot at higher ISO settings without excessive noise.
- Long Battery Life: While not improved from the original, the NP-FZ100 battery provides decent longevity, especially when paired with efficient power management.
Cons:
- High Price Point: The camera’s starting price of $6,999 USD makes it a significant investment that may limit its accessibility to amateur photographers.
- Limited Improvements in Core Specs: Minimal upgrades in burst rate and shutter speeds compared to the original α1, which might disappoint users expecting substantial advancements.
- No Internal RAW Video Recording: Lack of internal RAW recording capabilities, which is a disadvantage for professional video work compared to some competitors.
- No Open Gate or 8K60 options: Some competing camera systems offer these features.
- Uninspired Packaging: The quality of the packaging feels cheap, which does not align with the premium nature of the product.
Το πρόβλημα της Α1ΙΙ είναι ότι δεν είναι τόσο καλύτερη από τη Α1 και κυρίως ότι υπάρχει η R5II στα μισά λεφτά.
Η οποία R5II είναι παρόμοια στα περισσότερα και πολύ καλύτερη σε κάποια (ιδίως EVF, το οποίο είναι απλά εξαιρετικό σε R5II - το καλύτερο με διαφορά που έχω δει).
Εδώ η Α1ΙΙ έχει 8500 ευρώ ενώ η Canon R5 II είναι στα 4500κατι ευρώ.
Στη κυριολεξία χτίζεις σύστημα με σώμα και δύο ή τρεις τοπ L mount με τη διαφορά....
Αυτά σε Κάνον που παραδοσιακά σε αρμέγει δίχως ενοχές...
Σε Ζ8 φυσικά δεν υπάρχει σύγκριση τιμής, το 1/3 εάν πάρεις Ελληνικές τιμές.
Βέβαια η Α1ΙΙ είναι ανώτερη σε αρκετά πράματα, έτσι δεν παίρνεις 100% συγκρίσιμες μηχανές.
