The price of the Canon EOS R3 is between the Sony Alpha A 1 as well as the A9 II camera.
And before begin to compare the specification of both cameras, Since the price range of the Canon EOS R 3 camera is slightly high, The R3 is $6K, the A1 is $6.5K, and the A9II is $4,500. So we have to consider the price factor also while comparing the specification with a 9 II.
Later on, in the next few days, we will also compare the Canon EOS R 3 camera with Sony Alpha A1.
Basic Design Difference
If you talk about body design then, of course, Canon EOS R 3 camera is slightly larger due to the attached or inbuilt battery grip with it. The Biggest advantage of the inbuilt battery grip, the overall design of the camera becomes too professional and heat also helps professional photographers to operate the camera perfectly with more controls and additional battery backup.
Sony Alpha A9 II the camera doesn’t have that if you want to attach a battery grip you have to buy a whistle battery wave which is available somewhere around $300.

Let’s compare the image quality of the recently announced Canon EOS R3 camera with the ultra-popular Sony A9 II camera. We are comparing the highest test images of the camera in the comparison below.
Sensor image quality
As you can see in the images above, it’s great to see that Canon’s latest 24 MP BSI CMOS Stacked sensor of Canon R3 is at least producing the same level of noise as we have in the Sony A9 II Camera.
Now at the 51200 ISO range, you can see that the Color noise of the Canon EOS R3 camera sensor is very well controlled compared to the color noise we have in the A9 Mark II camera.
So, from the Basic test, it’s visible that the Canon EOS R3 Camera sensor can control the color noise in a better way compared to the Sony flagship camera sensor.

Both cameras feature class-leading autofocusing mechanisms inside them. Even if you compare as you can see in the table above the R3 camera is capable of shooting up to 30 frames per second whereas Sony Alpha A9 II can shoot up to 20 frames per second. So, if we compare the buffer then the Canon A3 camera does have a bigger buffer to capture or grab more frames compared to the A92.
And the next eye-catching thing is the autofocusing feature of the Canon EOS r 3 camera. So that’s an added advantage we are getting with Canon which is of course not present in Sony.

Conclusion
The overall specification of the Canon R3 looks very impressive, but we have to remember that both have a good price difference between them. So, if you are able to spend more you can also buy the flagship Alpha A camera. Or if you want to save a few bucks then A9 II is slightly better. But, in the end, if you are a Canon sensor color tone lover as I am then you have no option other than to move on to Canon EOS R3.

Sony finally announced the Sony A9 II (B&H Store )camera with almost same specification we have in the Sony A9 camera. The only major update we are able to notice in the new camera is the introduction of new Bionzx image processor. Since, the sensor is same as of Sony A9.
So with the introduction of new image processor we are able to enjoy 1-stop better dynamic range, 1-stop low light performance from the predecessor, but more or less we are getting the same sensor we had in the Sony A9 camera.
Sony A9 II Major Specification
- 24.2MP Full-Frame Exmor RS CMOS Sensor
- BIONZ X Image Processor & Front-End LSI
- 693-Point Phase-Detection AF System
- Up to 20 fps Shooting, ISO 100-204800
- UHD 4K30p Video, Real-Time Eye AF
- Blackout-Free Quad-VGA 3.7m-Dot OLED EVF
- 3.0″ 1.44m-Dot Tilting Touchscreen LCD
- 5-Axis SteadyShot INSIDE Stabilization
- Dual UHS-II SD Card Slots, Voice Memos
- 5 GHz Wi-Fi, 1000BASE-T Ethernet
For the first time they have introduced anti flicker mechanical shutter inside the camera, as we have in the Sony A7R IV. With the help of the mechanical shutter now we have 10 frames per second shooting speed, and if you need more speed than you can switch to the electronic shutter mode and you will be getting 20FPS continuous shooting speed from the Sony A9 II camera with full time Autofocus tracking on.
Image stabilization of the camera is improved up 0.5 stops compared to the Sony A9, although the electronic viewfinder of the camera remains same as of its predecessor (3.7Mdot EVF).
Sony also improve the wireless transfer speed of the camera by including a better 5Ghz Wi-Fi mechanism and Gigabyte Ethernet port.
At the end I will say, It was just a incremental update from its predecessor and not a major. From past two announcement Sony is doing incremental updates to their camera if you are going to talk about the Sony S6600 camera or Sony A9 II, all they are sufferer of incremental updates.

Sony Electronics Introduces the Alpha 9 II with Enhanced Connectivity and Workflow for Professional Sports Photographers and Photojournalists
New Alpha 9 II Combines Alpha 9’s Unrivaled Speed with New Functionality to Match the Needs of Professionals
SAN DIEGO — October 3, 2019 — Sony Electronics today announced Alpha 9 II (model ILCE-9M2). The latest model from Sony’s acclaimed line-up of α (Alpha) full-frame interchangeable lens cameras, the new model has been created to support working professionals in the fields of sports photography and photojournalism.
The new Alpha 9 II builds on the impressive legacy of the original Alpha 9, maintaining groundbreaking speed performance, including blackout-free continuous shooting at up to 20 frames per second with Auto Focus and Auto Exposure tracking at 60 calculations per second.
Updates include significantly enhanced connectivity and file delivery, continuous shooting at up to 10 fps with mechanical shutter, and evolved AF performance with newly optimized algorithms, re-designed build to enhance durability and operability.
“The voice of our customers is absolutely critical to Sony – we are always listening,” said Neal Manowitz, deputy president for Imaging Products and Solutions Americas at Sony Electronics. “The Alpha 9 II is the direct result of our work with agency, sports and news photographers since the launch of the original Alpha 9. We have added connectivity and network capabilities that drastically improve the professional workflow, while also making enhancements to design, interface and processing power that complete the user experience. Complemented by our extremely versatile E-mount system – with 55 native lenses introduced at this point including super-telephoto 600mm and 400mm G Master™ series lenses – this new camera is a tool unlike any other for professionals, whether in the field or on the field.”
Raising the Bar for Built-in Connectivity in the Professional’s Workflow
The Alpha 9 II includes a built-in 1000BASE-T Ethernet terminal, enabling gigabit communication for high-speed, stable data transfer operations. Additionally, File Transfer over SSL or TLS encryption (FTPS) is supported for increased data security and PC remote (tether) shooting performance is improved, with decreased release time lag and reduced live view screen delay when using the ‘Remote Camera Tool’ desktop application. The speed of the camera’s built-in wireless LAN functionality has also been increased, adding a stable and fast 5 GHz (IEEE 802.11ac) band, in addition to the 2.4 GHz provided in the Alpha 9. IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac standards are all supported.
Designed to improve the speed of news agencies’ workflow, the Alpha 9 II features a new Voice Memo function that allows spoken information to be attached to images in the form of voice memos that can be replayed when the images are reviewed. The voice data can also be included with images sent to an editor, giving them important information needed for effective editing. Alternatively, a field photographer can also use the ‘Transfer & Tagging add-on’ “Imaging Edge™” application to transfer voice tags with the images to their mobile device and have the voice memos automatically converted to text and added to the JPEG images in the form of IPTC metadata. All of this can be done automatically or manually selected by the photographer.
By combining wireless voice/image transfer and automatic voice-to-text conversion with the ability to auto-transfer images with attached voice memos via FTP, it is possible to shoot and transfer the results to an FTP server without ever having to operate a smartphone. FTP settings within the app can also be sent to a camera via Bluetooth®, allowing for a faster workflow.
The Platinum Standard for Speed and Auto Focus Performance
The new Alpha 9 II shares the same acclaimed 35mm full-frame stacked 24.2 MP Exmor RS™ CMOS image sensor with integral memory as the original Alpha 9, giving it the same unmatched speed performance and outstanding image quality. The new model can shoot continuously and completely silently at 20 fps for up to 361 JPEG images or 239 compressed RAW images, with no viewfinder blackout allowing the photographer to follow the subject and action with no interruption to the EVF during picture taking. For times when mechanical shutter is preferred or required, the new Alpha 9 II has been improved to shoot at up to 10 fps, about 2x the speed of the Alpha 9.
The camera is able to function while continuously calculating Auto Focus and Auto Exposure at up to 60 times per second, with newly optimized AF algorithms that provide notably enhanced AF precision and performance, ensuring that even the most erratic subject motion that is associated with sports are captured with high precision. Also useful for sporting events, the camera now offers an anti-flicker shooting mode that automatically detects and adjusts for the presence of fluorescent or artificial lighting to maximize image quality.
The advanced focusing system in the new Alpha 9 II is far beyond the capabilities of any professional camera. Comprised of 693 focal-plane phase-detection AF points covering approximately 93% of the image area, as well as 425 contrast AF points, the Fast Hybrid Auto Focus system achieves extremely fast and accurate performance, ensuring all fast-moving subjects are accurately captured. Additional notable focusing capabilities include Real-time Eye AF with right eye / left eye selection, Real-time Eye AF for animal augmented with a new algorithm, Real-Time Eye AF for movie, Real-time Tracking, selectable focus frame color, Touch Pad focus point control while using the viewfinder and more. AF can also now continuously track even if continuous shooting is greater than F16, providing further accuracy for shots that require slower shutter speeds.
