Sony A9 II Press Release, Full Specification and More

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 A9 II Press Release

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.

Refined Build and Operability

  • Upgraded BIONZ X™ image processing engine gains maximum benefit from the sensor’s fast readout speed; processor works with front-end LSI to enhance speed in AF/AE detection, image processing, face detection and accuracy, and more
  • Upgraded dust and moisture resistant design to meet the needs of professionals in even the most challenging outdoor conditions; stronger sealing provided at all body seams as well as the battery compartment cover and media slot
  • Latest developed image-processing algorithm reduces noise in the medium-to-high sensitivity range while improving subjective resolution and image quality
  • 5-axis optical in-body image stabilization system that provides a shutter speed advantage of 5.5 steps
  • Improved grip configuration for even greater comfort and sure hold; compatible with Sony VG-C4EM Vertical Grip
  • Improved button design and feel; increased diameter and feedback of the ‘AF-ON’ button; a refined multi-selector joystick design; an exposure compensation dial lock button; and a redesigned shape and new position for the rear dial
  • Redesigned shutter mechanism to suppress even the slightest movement that can cause image blur; tested for durability in excess of 500,000 shutter cycles
  • USB Type-C™ connector that supports fast USB 3.2 Gen 1 data transfer
  • Dual media slots that are both compatible with UHS-I and UHS-II SD cards, allowing higher overall capacity and faster read/write speeds
  • Digital audio interface has been added to the camera’s Multi Interface Shoe™ (MI Shoe), enabling the new ECM-B1M Shotgun Microphone or XLR-K3M XLR Adaptor Kit to be connected directly to the MI Shoe for cleaner, clearer audio recordings

Pricing and Availability

The new Alpha 9 II will be available in November 2019 priced at approximately $4,500 US and $6,000 CA. It will be sold at a variety of Sony’s authorized dealers throughout North America.

Sony A7R IV is a Star Eater Camera ?

It’s look like Astro Photographers are not happy with the Sony A7R IV camera. While putting camera on longer exposure to capture night sky, due to the presence of strong noise reduction filter the A7RIV wipes out most of the stars from the scene. Take a look what Jim (Jim website) said about the camera

I’m not going to bury the lead here: the Sony a7RIV eats stars just about like the a7RIII does…except that the new behavior starts at 3.2 seconds instead of 4 seconds.

Sony should create a dedicated Star capture mode, and star trail for their camera like Olympus did years ago.

Sony A7R IV High ISO Test

Sony A7R IV camera packs Sony’s 61MP FF BSI CMOS sensor. We have no doubt that Sony A7R IV is industry leading high-resoltuion Mirrorless solution in FF lineup and after that we have Fuji GFX100 MF camera if we want more resolution.

Finally after a long gap we have high ISO test samples available in dpreview studio comparison tool. So, the link is at the end post if you want to play with others cameras. Before that let’s take a look at what ISO rating the noise starts to show off in Sony A7R IV RAW and JPEG file.

Usable ISO Range of Sony A7R IV in JPEG Mode

There are lot of people who grab JPEG files from the camera, Since they have no time to edit RAW photos. Specifically, I am talking about wedding and event shooters those who prefer JPEG most of the time.

Sony A7R IV Max JPEG usable ISO range is ISO 6400. After ISO 6400 we do get significant amount of noise in camera sample and it make it almost unusable for professional use or you need a strong noise reduction filter after ISO 6400 rating if you want to reduce noise.

Sony A7R IV @ RAW Mode

At Raw mode we can notice noise starts to appear after ISO 800 in Sony A7R IV camera.

Canon 90D vs Sony A6600

Let’s compare Sony A6600 camera with Canon 90D Camera. We have done a detailed specs comparison review of all the major features we have between those two camera. Now let’s start with Design and functionality of the camera.

Get Canon 90D Camera from B&H and Amazon.com | Buy Sony A6600 Camera from B&H and Amazon.com

1. Design and functionality

We all know that Sony A6600 camera have compact body and it is somehow possible that if you have a habit of holding a DSLR camera in your hand for years you may feel uncomfortable for the first 3 to 4 months.

  1. More compact and easy to carry: Design wise the Sony A6600 is an excellent solution for those who love to have a bit more compact system in their hand and it will easily fit into your jacket pocket. At the same time the Sony A6600 with kit lens will remain unnoticed in crowded situations..
  2. Weather sealing matters: Canon 90D is a weather sealed camera but the Sony A6600 camera isn’t. So, we have to consider these features too before buying a camera since the image quality is not always everything you want to have from a camera.
  3. Sony lenses are costly then of Canon: Lenses Compatibility – Canon 90D is a clear winner, we do get huge range of lenses and Canon EF-S lenses are bit affordable too when we compared them with Sony E-Mount lenses. So, overall getting Sony A6600 with 4 to 5 lenses (landscape, portrait, wide, Zoom and Travel) will be more costly compared to Canon 90D
  4. Image quality: Sony using 24MP CMOS sensor with an extended ISO range of upto 102400 and Canon 90D limited to 51200. So you will be getting one stop better low-light images with Sony A6600camera compared to Canon 90D.
  5. Image Stabilization System: Sony A6600 camera features built-in sensor shift image stabilization system that helps to eliminate camera shake and extremely essential if you are shooting 4K video with hands with and gimble support.

2. Canon DPAF vs Sony Hybrid

First few generations of Hybrid sensor were behind Canon DPAF system. But in recent tests we were surprised by the AF performance of Sony A6600 camera. It’s eye tracking is also very effective just like a Sony professional full-frame mirrorless camera.

We don’t want to jump into number of AF zones in Canon vs no of AF points in Sony A6600. Since, Specification wise Canon will sure win with a large margin.

At the end we have to wait for some real world test to find out the best AF performance between the both.

Sensor Canon 90D Sony A6600
Resolution Canon 32.5 MP 24 MP
AF Type DPAF Hybrid
AF points on sensor 5K+ AF Zones 425 + 425 (Phase + Contrast)

3. ISO Sensitivity

Based on the ISO sensitivity matrix as I have told you earlier Sony will perform 1 stop better than of Canon 90D. At the same time Canon pixel density is high and they are still on CMOS platform, to manage increasing pixel density it always important to upscale their technology.

SDue to the presence of Image stabilization system Sony A6400 camera become a better tool for low-light work, you can now slow down your shutter speed upto 3 stops down without any issue. So, you will be getting more better shot with less noise in Sony A6600 camera compared to Canon 90D.

Based on the low-light performance specification scale Sony is a clear winner.

ISO (Still) Canon 90D Sony A6600
Standard 100-25600 100-32000
Expandable 100-51200 100-102400

4. Continuous Shooting and AF sensitivity

The AF sensitivity range of Sony AA6600 camera is more compared to Canon and hence working in low-light situation will become easier with Sony A6600.

Undoubtedly Canon have faster image processor, that’s why despite having 32.5MP sensor you are getting the same continuous shooting speed as of Sony A6600 camera.

5. Image Stabilization in Sony A6600

Sony A6600 camera features built-in image stabilization system which work upto 5 stops of image stabilization.Which helps a lot while working in lowlight condition and help in while recording high quality 4K video footage. Canon 90D doesn’t have built-in sensor shift IS so you need a hand gimble while recording high quality 4K videos.

Canon 90D Sony A6600
AF Sensitivity Upto – 3EV Upto – 5EV
Continuous Shooting 11 FPS with AF 11 FPS with AF

6. Video capabilities

Best camera for recording videos is ofcourse Sony A6600 camera. The camera does full sensor readout and records 6K video.

Canon 90D carry inferior 4K video specs compared to Sony A6600 camera. The Canon 90D features 4k Uncropped/Cropped 29.97 fps. At uncropped mode Canon 90D will be using pixel skipping algorithm so if you are a causal editor than Canon 90D is a perfect camera for you. If you do heavy editing work and bring out details from shadows than you should go with Sony A6600 camera. At cropped mode Canon 90D will be doing full pixel readout but for smaller sensor area.

9. Which Camera you Should Buy Canon 90D or Sony A6600

Based on overall spec comparison Sony A6600 camera looks bit more better than the Canon 90D, specifically in the video recording part. But we have to also accept the fact that Canon 90D is one of the most advance APS-C DSLR camera present to date. The camera features massive sensor resolution and a very powerful image processing unit. If you are a you-tuber than for sure the display of the camera is more user friendly compared to Sony A6600 for vlogging purpose. At the same time with bright aperture lenses such as sigma 18-35mm F1.8 or Canon nifty-fifty Canon 90D will perform amazingly well.

Still shooters: For low light still shooters I will recommend Sony A6600, it features better ISO range and built-in IS. For sports, portrait and Landscape you should go with Canon 90D.

Video: If you do heavy editing with your videos, recovering shadow details and all that then you should go with Sony A6600. For casual editors and vloggers I recommend Canon 90D.
