The Sony Alpha 9 II is a professional-quality full-frame camera built for efficiency and comfort

Sony has expanded its Alpha range of full-frame, interchangeable lens cameras with the launch of the Alpha 9 II. A professional-quality camera designed for photographers and photojournalists, the Alpha 9 II features blackout-free continuous shooting at up to 20fps with Auto Focus and Auto Exposure tracking, alongside enhanced connectivity and file delivery for those deadline-heavy days. Although the Alpha 9 II shares the same 35mm full-frame stacked 24.2MP Exmor RS CMOS image sensor with integral memory as the original Alpha 9, it has been refined with an upgraded BIONZ X image processing engine, a more dust- and moisture-resistant design, and the latest image-processing algorithm to reduce noise in the medum-to-high sensitivity range. More ergonomic buttons and grips should also help make the Alpha 9 II kinder on the ol’ hands, which will be particularly sweet when your working day begins to melt into a working evening.

About

I’m a freelance games and technology journalist currently mashing my keyboard in the name of fine institutions like Stuff, where you'll usually find me waxing lyrical about the latest mobile morsels. I've also been known to cook up some decidedly delicious reviews from time to time, and was once dubbed 'the games industry's answer to Nigella Lawson' by someone probably somewhere.
