I have the A1 and love it. I use it mainly for weddings cause of the silent shutter, the only thing I dislike about it is not having full articulated screen. I also have the A9 classic and still use it for weddings, but if the A1ii doesn’t have much of an upgrade I’ll just buy a used A1. Get video by the way 👍🏾
I used to shoot weddings too so I understand the usefulness of having an articulating screen. That can be very valuable in those situations. I do mostly wildlife photography now and some portrait type work, and the articulating screen has become less important to me, but always nice to have none the less. I will be very interested to see what the mark II looks like. Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts and watch the show! I appreciate it!
I own the SONY A6700 Camera and the AI is excellent, especially for birds. I was considering the A7R V (without a stacked sensor) but both cameras have blackout, and trying to pan and track BIF it’s almost like being blindfolded, so I will wait for the SONY A1 ll and hope it has the flippy screen. Thank you for your great review.
The A1 for me was mostly about the 30 fps. The A1 II is expected to have around 60 fps. I think for wildlife photography, 30 fps is a sweet spot for me and even that sometimes is a lot of pictures to cull. Sony A1 II also expected to be priced between $6900 and $7500. Sony A7R5 $3800....is that price difference worth it to you???
The current A7R V does not have a stacked sensor, has blackout, therefore is not as well suited for sports and fast moving objects. I’m still on the fence waiting to see what the new A1 ll has to offer. I agree that 30 FPS is enough and if the new A1 ll is available with 60 FPS, my guess is that it can be dialed back to 30 FPS. I still hope the flippy screen that the A7R V has can be put on the new A1 ll.
thank you for the video. Good job.

@@FocusRocus Makes perfect sense. Excited to see what the Sony A1 II has to offer.
Sorry bro but apparently
Sony a1m2
will be the same price so the obvious choice will be sony a1m2
I've heard they are dropping the A1 price. Do you think the higher price tag will still be worth it?
