The giant has awaken: Sony will announce the new A1II on November 19 and here are the images!
Sony’s product launch record this year was surprisingly lame. But right before Christmas we will finally get some “serious” new stuff: The new Sony a1II flagship camera and the new 28-70mm f/2.0 GM lens. The only less serious part of this is that it appears the A1II is more like a facelift of the A1 rather than a revolutionary upgrade.
Likely (but still not 100% confirmed) Sony A1II specs:
- 50MP Full-Frame Exmor RS BSI CMOS Sensor (same of the Sony A1)
- Sony A9III body
- New AI chip
- faster frame rate and faster autofocus
- More expensive than the current Sony A1
- New CFexpress Type A with 4.0 standard (doubles the speed)
- C2PA support for content authentication.
- Availability in early 2025 only
Likely (but still not 100% confirmed) Sony 28-70mm f/2.0 specs:
- 86mm filter size (Canon is 95mm and Sony 2470GMII is 82mm)
- Weight is around 900g (Canon is 1430g and 2470GMII is 695g)
- Size similar to this lens
- IQ and AF performance superior to the Canon
- Price around $3000 (to be confirmed)
