Sony A99 II Hands-On Field Test

Why would I buy this over an A7RII? Does it focus better?

For the a-mount there weren't many digital full frame digital cameras.
Two very similar Sony full frame a-mount dSLR cameras a900 of 2008 and a850 of 2009
Two Sony full frame a-mount SLT cameras a99 of 2012 and a99 II of 2016. Sony wasn't very dedicated to full frame a-mount digital cameras
However plenty of APS-C a-mount digital SLR and SLT cameras have been introduced even since the Konica Minolta a7 digital of 2005 and a5 digital of 2004 with IBIS before the purchase of Konica Minolta by Sony in 2006.
Does the Konica Minolta a7 dSLR of 2004 rings some bells? Probably the same scientists that created the Konica Minolta a7 digital in 2004 created the Sony a7 in 2003 too.
Also Minolta had introduced the a7 of 2001 and a9 of 1998 film SLR cameras before.
So the a7 and a9 cameras have a great history.
Film SLR and dSLR cameras were named a7 and a9 only in Japan.

Want a99iii and a77iii to come out!

Thank you for this… i'm glad I watched it all the way through. I was on the verge of buying a Sony a9ii but something tells me I should wait. Mirrorless is about to take over the world. I own a (dead) Sony a900 that I purchased back in 2009. A few grand worth of lenses as well… full of mould! thanks to living in an old house in the tropics. Suffice to say that I'm a little nervous about bringing expensive equipment back home. Firstly, I will invest in a 'dry cabinet'… and because my bundle of a-mount lenses that need to be sent away for cleaning (if its not too late to save them).. cannot be used at this time… i'm thinking well what the hey.. buy a new lens for the new camera.. which would probably be an e-mount anyway? or something new?

im just now finding this camera and it infuriates me that this camera has an awesome articulating screen and the a7 series do not. i would pay 200 more if that screen was in my a7iii

3:12 Jordan's jacket is purple, 3:19 the jacket is blue? What's up with that?

Snow on the ground on June 27th. Damn, how long is your Summer? Two weeks??? You have no Spring. Not for me. You could claim sanctuary status and migrate to the U.S. on the grounds of freezing to death if left in Calgary, Canada!

Weird, d850 got so much hype, because of the high mp sensor and frame rate but the a99ii still doesn't seen to get any attention.

It's a great experience to hear, read and see Canonazis and Nikonascists mocking at Alpha first and then complaining about their archaic sturdy piece of plumb with fragile analogical-like mechanisms for taking a single picture. C'mon! Alpha is pricey, it costs a lot but what they are offering are products that are made for every extreme situations, every top notch feature from every kind of task that Canon and Nikon split between cameras like fixing the archetype of high resolution=low speed and low resolution= high speed plus better behavior in darkness. Sony, appart from creating the technology all camera brands use, they aren't as false as Canon by saying "our cameras are made for cinematographic video" (true on Sony, false on Canon), and Alpha is humble enough, they don't say "I Am Speed Compressed" (Nikon D500 users? Hey! Did you know that the A77 is six years old and is capable to do THE SAME things your €2000 D500 but at a price tag of just €1450 WITH THE SHARPEST LENS INCLUDED? (ZA 85 1.4) Well, Nikon D500 has more things, but still uses a Sony created sensor).
Canonazis: Dual Pixel AF? Yet your God not only reduces the color hues you're always preaching off, It also boasts a new processing algorithm that makes the video AF more fluent… But slower and inaccurate. And you complain about Sony stealing your translucent mirror technology? Hah, at least Sony DOES NOT ONLY INNOVATE, THEY ALSO EMPOWER THE CLASSICS.
Hypocrites…

I had an interesting conversation with Zeiss concerning the Zeiss lens they made for Sony….We are talking about the Zeiss (sony) 135mm f1.8 lens….Zeiss does not support or service this lens, if the lens was made for nikon or canon, yes, but no service for this lens made for Sony….I called Sony, they told me, even though i bought that lens from their online store when it was operating, cost 1,798.00….. Sony does not support or service that product, they told me to contact Zeiss….This is just another example of Sony's rotten no good customer service….I would urge everyone not to trust Sony on any level…. I would say any negative so called ranting on Sony they have it coming………

true, sony screwed us "A" mount users…….

sorry bro, i wish my Sony a99ii and a99 had a built in flash, does not take up any more build size, some morons believe pro models do not have flashes built in, thats stupid and outdated thinking…..
