Sony A99 II kit

The second version of the Sony Alpha A99 full-frame DSLR is stuffed with the most progressive hardware that opens up wide features in photo and video shooting.

Full frame sensor

The heart of the camera is a full-frame sensor with a resolution of 42.2 MP, devoid of an anti-moire filter in its design. Its absence has a positive effect on the detailing of the images. Following modern trends, the camera uses a 5-axis matrix image stabilization system. It can compensate up to 4.5 stops of exposure when shooting handheld in low light conditions. The standard sensor light sensitivity range is 100-25600 ISO, expandable to values from 50 to 102400.

Advanced autofocus

There is something to be proud of and the autofocus system, called 4D Focus. It has 79 classic phase detection autofocus points and 399 additional focus points located directly on the camera's matrix. Such a set was obtained thanks to the use of a translucent mirror in the design — a proprietary "chip" of all Sony DSLRs. Focus is almost lightning fast even in the dark, and moving objects are caught by the focus system very tenaciously and reliably.

Video capabilities

A huge bet was made on the video capabilities of the DSLR — it writes videos in a maximum resolution of 3840x2160 pixels with a bit rate of 100 Mbps. Recording is carried out in the XAVC S codec, while the S-Log2 and S-Log3 profiles are available to the operator, and it is also possible to output an uncompressed signal with 4:2:2 colour sampling via HDMI. In addition, the video signal is read from the entire area of \u200b\u200bthe matrix, and if necessary, you can forcibly switch to the Super35 cinematic format, which uses the central part of the sensor (1.8x crop). Professional videographers will definitely like these characteristics.

Significant update

Sony has been honored with a significant update to its full-frame SLR flagship. Its design lacks only a touch screen. Putting such a significant drawback aside, the camera can be safely recommended to both advanced amateurs and professionals in the field of creating photo and video content.
