Sony Alpha 1 II

The Sony A1 II price depends on the configuration and changes with the catalogue. Compare the body-only camera and eleven lens kits, then confirm the current price, availability and exact contents on the selected product page.

Choose the body only if you already own Sony FE lenses or want to select the lens separately. A kit makes sense when the included lens immediately matches your work and lets you compare a complete system.

For general use, compare the 24-70mm f/2.8 and 24-105mm f/4 kits. The 16-35mm suits landscape and architecture, the 85mm portraits, the 70-200mm options sport and events, and the 300mm specialist action.

The Sony Alpha 1 II uses a 50.1 effective-megapixel full-frame stacked Exmor RS CMOS sensor. This design combines high resolution with fast readout for burst shooting, autofocus and video.

No. Shooting at up to 30 fps requires the electronic shutter and depends on file format, lens, exposure settings, autofocus and card performance. The rate can be lower in other configurations.

The system can recognise people, animals, birds, insects, cars, trains and aircraft, among other subjects. Automatic or manual subject selection and shooting conditions affect detection and tracking.

Sony rates stabilisation at up to 8.5 stops at the centre and 7 stops at the periphery under defined CIPA conditions, focal length and settings. Real benefit varies with lens, subject movement and technique.

Yes. It supports 8K at up to 30p and 4K at up to 120p, depending on mode, codec and settings. Recording duration, any crop, thermal conditions and compatible media should be checked for the intended workflow.

Both slots accept CFexpress Type A cards and UHS-I/UHS-II-compatible SD cards. The required media depends on bitrate and stills or video mode, so check Sony’s compatibility guidance for the intended setting.

The camera weighs approximately 743g with battery and memory card. It uses an NP-FZ100 rechargeable battery. Total system weight changes substantially with the lens, particularly f/2.8 zooms and the 300mm f/2.8.

Both cameras provide 50.1MP resolution and a professional hybrid design. The A1 II adds an AI processing unit, broader subject recognition, a higher stabilisation rating and handling refinements.

The A1 II combines 50.1MP resolution, burst shooting and 8K video for high-resolution hybrid work. The A9 III uses a 24.6MP global-shutter sensor for extreme speed. Choose according to resolution needs or action capture without rolling-shutter distortion.

The 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS II suits versatile close-to-mid-distance sport. The 300mm f/2.8 GM OSS adds reach for field sport and wildlife, while the 50-150mm f/2 GM is particularly relevant indoors.

The 24-70mm f/2.8 GM II is versatile for reportage and weddings. The 28-70mm f/2 GM prioritises aperture, the 85mm f/1.4 GM II portraits, and the 16-35mm f/2.8 GM II wide views and architecture.

Sony announced the Alpha 1 II in November 2024. As of 13 July 2026, Sony offers system software version 4.00. Check the support page before updating because a newer version may be released.
