Sony A99 Mark II Release Date, Price and Specs – CNET
Andrew Hoyle/CNET
I liked a lot of things about the Sony A99, the company’s fixed-mirror full-frame dSLR-style camera, but it’s sat around for over three years while competitors have introduced improved models. Sony finally succeeds it with the A99 Mark II, bringing all of its A-game technologies with the hopes of attracting professional action photographers.
It incorporates the same 42.4MP Exmor R CMOS that’s in the excellent A7R II mirrorless. There’s also a new hybrid autofocus system with 399 phase-detection AF points (79 cross-type) and sensitivity down to -4 EV. 5-axis sensor-shift stabilization and 4K uncompressed video complete the package. Sony claims it’s about the size of the A7RII, despite retaining the A mount, and is still dust-and-moisture resistant.
Sony plans to ship it in November at $3,200 for the body. I don’t have UK or Australian pricing yet, but that directly converts to about £2,450 and AU$4,240.
Stay tuned for more details.
