A worthy a1 II comparison is against the Sony Alpha 9 III. I'll let you figure out which camera is which in the comparison image.
Check out the a1 II vs. a9 III specification comparison and the visual comparison of these cameras. What are the differences between the Sony Alpha 1 II and the s9 III? Here are the a1 II advantages over the a9 III:
- 50.1 MP vs. 24.6
- 1/32,000 second continuous shooting shutter speed vs. 1/16,000
- ISO 100–32000 vs. 250–25600, expandable to ISO 50 to ISO 102400 vs. 125–51200
- Improved IBIS — 8.5 stops vs. 8.0 (center)
- Slightly greater dynamic range
Here are the a9 III advantages over the a1 II:
- Global shutter, with no rolling shutter or banding in stills or movies, vs. 3.8 ms (still fast)
- 1/80000 second shutter speed vs. 1/32000
- 120 fps continuous shooting vs. 30 fps, Continuous Shooting Speed Boost feature
- Flash sync to 1/80000 vs. 1/400
- AF working range of EV -5 – 20 vs. EV -4 – 20
- Exposure metering range of EV -5 – 17 vs. EV -3 – 20
- Slightly less expensive
Most photographers will find the a1 II the best option, but the a9 III is the better choice for a niche market, primarily those who value extreme speed over resolution.
