The Sony Alpha 1 II | The Perfect Wildlife Camera - Field Test

What a huge honour to be amongst the first to use this beast of a camera out in the field. On the surface, the camera looks and feels pretty familiar, with the edition of the 4-axis multi-angle LCD Monitor, larger viewfinder eye cup and ergonomics just like the Alpha 9 III.

On the inside, the technology has been taken up a whole new level especially when it comes to tracking your subject. The snappy autofocus along with the AI subject recognition is beyond phenomenal - It literally sticks on your subject whether it’s moving sideways, forwards, backwards, through bushes and foliage, and even through dust. This sequence here is a testament to Sony hearing our wants and needs when it comes to delivering the best possible product.

The camera now feels like an extension of oneself, freeing you from the technicalities, and allowing you to focus on the creative part of the shooting process because it simply just works.
This is the perfect camera for wildlife, and I can’t wait to own one 💯📸

Amazing content❤

Dude, what a great job showing g us what the camera can actually do. I’m frustrated seeing all the videos of people almost yelling for attention. You video has no words but it’s worth a thousand. The only thing I I think it’s missing is sharing some raw photos so that users can play with them without nice LR updates and see how Dynamic Range behaves.

Top tier!! BBC/Nat Geo worthy! Looking forward to see you repping SG soon!! 🤩

Beautiful footage! Although I'm actually hesitant to believe that you managed to nail that Cheetah chase without a tripod and a heavy fluid head. Was it really handheld?
Loved your content though, will subscribe!

This is by far the best show of A1 II. Would be curious about the behind the scenes (like which video format used/SLOG3, etc( including the editing. Also surprising how well the 100-400 handled this overwhelming camera. Have you had a chance to use the photo capture from the video recorded? Congrats!!
