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:

Sony will announce the new A1II flagship camera and a new 28-70mm f/2.0 zoom on November 19

SonyAlphaRumors has confirmed a November 19 announcement for Sony’s A1 II and a new 28-70mm f/2.0 GM lens. The A1 II is expected to keep its 50MP sensor but may feature an improved AI chip, enhanced frame rate, faster autofocus, and support for CFexpress 4.0. The new zoom lens will likely be compact, priced around $3,000. Both items could be available in early 2025. More details are anticipated closer to the announcement date.
