Reviewer score 83% (normalized by Neofiliac)Like its predecessor, the A9 II delivers some superb results. The 24.2MP sensor delivers images that are sharp, with great colors and plenty of details. The biggest improvement to the AF system is the addition of real-time eye-detect autofocus when recording 4K video, something that's missing in the older A9 model.
Pros
- Fast and accurate autofocus
- Excellent image quality
- Excellent battery life
Cons
- No 4K video support
