The Sony Alpha 1 II | The Perfect Wildlife Camera - Field Test
What a huge honour to be amongst the first to use this beast of a camera out in the field. On the surface, the camera looks and feels pretty familiar, with the edition of the 4-axis multi-angle LCD Monitor, larger viewfinder eye cup and ergonomics just like the Alpha 9 III.
On the inside, the technology has been taken up a whole new level especially when it comes to tracking your subject. The snappy autofocus along with the AI subject recognition is beyond phenomenal - It literally sticks on your subject whether it’s moving sideways, forwards, backwards, through bushes and foliage, and even through dust. This sequence here is a testament to Sony hearing our wants and needs when it comes to...

    This is incredible! I have no idea why you don’t have millions of views and subscribers. Also how did the 200-600mm perform. I heard from a few people that it isn’t the best lens for African safari because the minimal focal length is 200mm. Instead they suggested I look at sigma 60-600. But I still went with 200-600 because I think sony lens has better and faster autofocus and they are also compatible with teleconverter. What’s your opinion?

    • @lifewithdanng
      @lifewithdanng 3 дня назад

      @@syedinamuddin6703 Thank you for the kind words! It has been my go-to lens whenever I’m out in the field. I would say it’s a pretty effective range to nail all the angles you need (especially if you wanna get that exaggerated compression of the sun with your subjects) - though if you can afford a 100-400GM and have only one camera body, I would recommend that lens instead. Ultimately I would prefer to use Sony lenses for the compatibility and reliable autofocus 💯

    Hello, thank you for your video. I know that in the first version of the Sony A1, the continuous shooting speed with third-party lenses was limited to 15 FPS when using the electronic shutter. Does this limitation still exist in the Sony A1 Mark II? Can we achieve 30 FPS with new-generation Sigma lenses like the Sigma 60-600mm DG DN OS Sports, or are we still restricted to 15 FPS? Thanks

    I noticed you're using AWB. What about ISO? Have you set it manually? I have two A1 II camera bodies, and at the beginning of February, I’m heading to Kenya to test them in real-world situations. Could you please share more details about your camera settings?

    • @lifewithdanng
      @lifewithdanng 20 дней назад

      @@vlastimilvajnorak6024 Yes I do use AWB at times. It really depends on the situation - I would use shade during sunrise and sunset. And if I would be panning in an environment with varying colours in the environment I would not use AWB. As for ISO for video I’ll set it at its native ISO - I’ll always use the best ISO possible to get the highest quality unless the situation calls for it. For photography, don’t worry too much about ISO, use the best lowest and best ISO range if possible but most importantly it’s about capturing the moment. If you have to go higher to capture the moment, go for it! At the end of the days it’s always about the moment and not the technicalities of the shot. You’re going to have the best time in Kenya💯💯

    • @lifewithdanng
      @lifewithdanng Месяц назад

      @@contentm3893 Thank you! That really depends on your budget and the scope of what you’re planning to use the camera for. If you plan to do it professionally and intensively, I would say go for the A1 for that extra level of extra speed, 4K 120fps, better weathersealing(I used both cameras under intense dusty conditions in the field and the A1 handled it like a champ), dual card slot and handling of the camera. If you don’t have that extra budget, I would say the A7CR will do just fine. You’ll still be able to nail every shot you’d like to in the field when it comes to wildlife, landscapes or lifestyle content. Annnd, with the release of the new A1 mk ii, I think you’ll be able to grab a second hand A1 at a good rate right if you search hard enough. So I vote A1!

    Wow. I don't know what else to say. Just, WOW! Very impressive work. The light, the compositions, the action, the timing, the positioning. Even the editing and music were extremely well done. As others have said, this is work worthy of National Geographic or similar. And absolutely should be used by Sony for marketing! (I will never do work at that level. Even so, my A1 II is on order. Trading in my a9III and my a7r5. I do mostly landscapes and some youth soccer and wildlife. But no where near what you are doing here.) I sold my 100-400 for the 70-200 II w/ extenders when it came out. But if they bring out a new 100-400 with similar improvements in weight, size and features then I may go back to the 100-400. But for right now, I'll be focusing on getting and setting up the A1 II.

    • @lifewithdanng
      @lifewithdanng 2 месяца назад

      I feel that the AF on the A1 II has a HUGE upgrade compared to the the A1 (I was using the A1 as a B cam and the A1's AF loses focus whenever my subject moves towards me, while the A1 II locks on fully and literally sticks on to the subject no matter where it moves in the frame) During the 10 days when I was testing it out in the field - whenever I missed a shot or if the AF took a split second longer to focus, it was due to a user error as I was shooting fully handheld or it was due to the vehicle engine vibration as it wasn't at a full halt.
