Many things can happen in two years. Take the Star Wars franchise, for instance. Back in 2015, The Force Awakens birthed hope for a brand new epic trilogy, only for it to be shattered by The Last Jedi in 2017. In Sony’s case, the Alpha 9 II represents a new iteration of the vaunted Alpha 9 from 2017. Was the two-year wait worth it, especially with the firmware updates so far?

A Mirrorless Upstart

The A9II is a full-frame mirrorless camera aimed squarely at professional users. With features such as continuous shooting at up to 20 frames per second (fps), blackout-free shooting and electronic shutter speeds of up to 1/32000th of a second, the A9II excels in sports and news photography. Superior connectivity also makes it a reliable asset on the field. The A9II supports background FTP transfers for JPEG and RAW file delivery, with the options of having up to nine FTP servers assigned in advance. Photographers can also add voice memos to their images, which can then be duly converted into text and appended accordingly using an app.

In effect, the Alpha 9 II is Sony’s 2020 Olympic camera. While the likes of Canon and Nikon have traditionally dominated this arena, Sony’s latest offering is proof that the company is more than ready to step up. And the proof is in the pudding. the Alpha 9 II’s improvements over its predecessor are a clear indication of how it has evolved to tackle the demands of fast-action photography.
