- Is the Alpha 9 II worth it over the original Alpha 9?
- Only if you need the Ethernet port, voice memos, deeper grip and revised mechanical shutter. The sensor, autofocus and burst speed are essentially the same, so most shooters are better served by the original unless wired workflow matters.
- How does it compare with the Alpha 7R IV?
- The 7R IV gives far higher resolution for landscapes and studio work. The 9 II wins on burst speed, blackout-free shooting and silent shutter, which matter more for sports and events.
- Is the autofocus good for sports and wildlife?
- Yes. The 693-point phase-detect system with real-time tracking holds onto moving subjects well, and reviewers rate it among the best for action at its release.
- Can it shoot 4K video?
- Yes, up to 3840x2160 at 30p, with headphone and microphone ports and 5-axis stabilization. It lacks the 10-bit and higher frame rates of later Sony bodies.
- Does it have Wi-Fi or GPS?
- No. There is no Wi-Fi radio, no app control and no GPS. File transfer and remote control go through USB or the Ethernet port.
- What is in the box?
- Body, battery, charger, USB cable, strap and body cap. A lens and memory cards are sold separately.
