The Sony a1 II has arrived, bringing with it numerous improvements. Here are the biggest differences between the a1 II and its predecessor.
. However, while the a1 II brings a lot of improvements, it is not a wholesale revolution compared to its predecessor, which was admittedly way ahead of its time when it launched in early 2021. So, what’s new with the a1 II? How is it better?Among the most significant differences between the a1 II and its predecessor is also the most noticeable: a new body. Between thelaunch in January 2021 and the a1 II’s arrival today, Sony returned to the drawing board on its camera design.
This extra processing power comes with expanded autofocus subject detection modes and a new automatic subject detection mode . The a1 II also has improved human pose estimation and better performance. The additional autofocus area settings, including extra small and extra large custom areas, have also made their way to the a1 II from the a9 III.
However, there is one major tweak to continuous shooting performance: the a1 II introduces Pre-Capture and Speed Boost functionality. The a1 II can now buffer a second’s worth of shooting before the shutter is fully depressed, equal to up to 30 frames. This is great for unpredictable subjects like athletes and wildlife. The a1 has no similar feature, so that’s a significant upgrade for some situations.
Another meaningful improvement on offer, though, is the improved in-body image stabilization system. The original a1 topped at out 5.5 stops of correction, while the a1 II can reach 8.5 stops of stabilization in the center of the frame and seven stops around the periphery. It is not a huge jump, but for handheld shooters, every bit counts.On the video front, the a1 II brings little new.
The a1 II’s list of improvements may be limited, but that is less of a knock on the sequel and more of a celebration of the original. The a1 II had a remarkable foundation to work from, and it has, by and large, delivered the necessary improvements.
