The Sony a99 II is an absolutely incredible camera and easily the best from Sony. It's packed with loads and loads of features too.
Shutterbug, a member of the Technical Image Press Association (TIPA), once again joined forces with 30 other member magazines from around the world to choose the winners of the annual TIPA Awards for the best photo/imaging products in 40 different categories. The award process began in early 2017 with an initial selection of a wide range of products conducted by TIPA’s Technical Committee, on which Shutterbug’s Editor-at-Large George Schaub serves.
Sony A99 II is a 42.0MP Advanced DSLR camera with a Full frame sized BSI-CMOS sensor and Sony/Minolta Alpha mount. Read our A99 II review to find its pros and cons.
Sony’s latest 42Mp SLT A99 II adds another full-frame, high-resolution camera option for photographers demanding images packed with detail. Boasting a back-illuminated (BSI) sensor, the Sony A99 II achieved an outstanding overall DxOMark score of 92 points in our sensor tests, with impressive performance at mid to high ISO sensitivities, thanks to its BSI technology. (See our in-depth Sony A99 II sensor review for more details.)
The second-generation model of Sony’s pro-level mirrorless camera provides upgrades to many key functions plus improved ergonomics and connectivity.
The Sony SLT A99 II is the Japanese electronic giant’s latest full-frame, DSLR-style, interchangeable-lens camera. Packing a 42Mp backside-illuminated (BSI) CMOS sensor, the A99 II offers a significant jump in resolution over its predecessor and achieves an impressive overall DxOMark score of 92 points. Benefiting from a pixel arrangement that increases the volume and quality of light captured by its imaging elements, a BSI sensor improves low-light image quality.
