It supports File Transfer over SSL or TLS encryption for increased data security and improved PC remote (tether) shooting performance. You can also embed voice notes to your images or send them separately as texts via Transfer and Tagging Add-On App.

Continuous Shooting up to 20 fps

Equipped with a 35mm full-frame 24.2MP stacked Exmor RS CMOS sensor, Sony Alpha 9 II gives you an incredible high-speed performance with outstanding image quality. This advanced sensor combined together with BIONZ X image processor provide silent continuous shooting up to 20 fps at full 24.2MP resolution (RAW+JPEG) with up to 60 AF/AE tracking calculations per second without EVF or LCD blackout. The continuous autofocus feature is extremely useful for tracking erratically moving subjects with high precision and automatically adjusting the exposure through scenes with changing brightness levels for consistently accurate exposure.

Voice Memo

The Sony Alpha 9 II mirrorless comes with an amazing Voice Memo function that will improve the speed of production workflow. This feature lets you attach voice notes to the images, which could be important information that needs to be sent to the editor. The camera can record voice memos up to 60 seconds that is attached as a wav file with the same name as the image file. The voice recording along with its corresponding image data can be easily transferred via FTP without any additional equipment or software. This feature is available for stills images only.

Transfer and Tagging Add-On App

With the Transfer and Tagging add-on Imaging Edge application you can transfer the voice tags and images directly to your mobile phone, where the voice tags are automatically converted to text captions. The converted text can be embedded to the JPEG images in the form of IPTC metadata or manually copied and pasted as required.

Ethernet Port for Fast Communication

The Sony Alpha 9 II Mirrorless Camera comes with an upgraded network functionality featuring a built-in connector for wired 1000BASE-T Ethernet terminal for stable data transfer operations, including remote shooting. The high-speed 1000BASE-T terminal allows data transfer at up to 1 Gbps. It also supports FTPS (File Transfer over SSL/TLS), allowing SSL or TLS encryption for increased data security.

5GHz Wireless LAN Support

Along with the 2.4 GHz band, the camera’s built-in wireless LAN functionality is updated with a 5 GHz band supporting IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac standards. The 5 GHz interference allows for faster, more stable data transfer.

In addition to the PC connection, you can also connect your camera to any wireless access point for added flexibility. The camera also supports wired PC Remote (tethered) shooting via a USB Type-C connector that ensures smooth transfer of large uncompressed RAW image files. You can simultaneously review the RAW image files on the computer without interrupting the flow of the session.

Real-Time Tracking Automatically Tracks the Subject

The Real-Time Tracking function uses AI to continuously track moving subjects when shooting stills or movies, while automatically maintaining accurate focus when the shutter button is half-pressed. The camera’s advanced subject recognition algorithm uses the subject’s color, brightness, and distance/depth to process spatial information in real time. The Alpha 9 II comes with various modes that can be used for specific subject tracking like, Real-Time Eye AF for Humans, Eye AF Right/Left Eye Selection (Human), Real-Time Eye AF for Animals, etc.

3-Inch Tilting LCD Screen and Quad-VGA OLED Tru-Finder

Sony Alpha a9 II Full Frame Mirrorless Camera (Body Only)

Sony Alpha 9 II Mirrorless Full Frame Camera (Body Only) SKU: ILCE9M2B

Rated 4 out of 5 by from GREAT CAMERA! Great Camera Except……. It needs more Megapixels. It is pretty good in all other realms and could be improved in time by adding more functionality.
Date published: 2023-02-17
Rated 5 out of 5 by from I mean, I like it better than any other Sony. I know the A1 has more resolution, but the A9 just feels like something designed with sports and action at the forefront. It’s snappy to use, and the image quality is quite good. High ISO files were better than expected, and my expectations were high on that front. Shutter lag, if it has it I couldn’t really tell and nailed shots without relying on a high speed drive mode. It’s great and I would say it’s a fantastic choice for sports or wildlife professionals. I wouldn’t say it’s a good value for amateurs, but if you are a working pro this would be a fantastic body to have in your bag.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great tech, ergonomics need some work. There are so many good things about the A9II! But the dials on the right side of the camera need to go. That camera would be more functional if the exposure compensation dial was replaced with another custom function button and there was an LCD readout where the mode selector dial is. And I would like to see the rear dial IN the back of the camera, like the A7c.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Absolute amazing for wildlife I bought this camera slightly used online. At the same time I bought a new 200-600mm Sony lens and together they are a dream for wildlife/bird photographer. I could drastically increase the numbers of focused shots with birds in flight. Even in low or difficult light, I was able to take great shots. The quality out of the camera also cuts down on the time I spend post-processing the images.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from MANY FINE FEATURES- BUT DEFECTIVE! SHARP PICTURES OF BIRDS SITTING STILL INITAL DEFECT IN SENSOR SCREEN - UNABLE SO FAR TO GET REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT
Date published: 2020-06-15
Rated 4 out of 5 by from a9 ii for bird and wildlife photography I am a experienced wildlife photographer. My shots have been published on National Geographic Top Shots. I'm recently converting myself from DSLR to mirror-less. Below are my feedback to Sony after using my a9ii and 600mm F4 lens for a few months. Things I love: * Light weight - only 8.5 pounds when paired with the 600mm f4 GM lense. * No blackout continuous shooting - love it. * Best AF tracking on the market - once AF locks on the subject, it stays. * Flip-out screen - great for low angle shooting. Some DSLR bodies also have flip-out screen but their "live-view" AF speeds are super slow for moving targets. * 20 fps high speed shooting * High ISO noise fairly low for JPEG images Things to improve: * Buffer clear is SUPPER slow! And you cannot do things like video recording while it's in progress (but you can continue to shoot stills). This is true even when the buffer is half full. So long it's clearing the buffer, you cannot shoot video! Not sure why Sony has been struggling on this, because other camera brands have resolved the issue loooong time back! * RAW images are very grainy when ISO is high and even the Sony software cannot reduce it reasonably in post-process! * While the AF tracking is the best on the market, the initial AF is not. For one, the initial AF speed is sometimes a bit slow. For two, when using AF tracking modes, the initial focus doesn't grab on the subject that's pointed by the focus point. Even when using single AF tracking mode, it many times grabs a branch or leaf next to the bird. I can understand it if I was using the wide area tracking AF mode, but I don't understand why single point or flex point AF tracking mode does that too? * Lack of third finger operation. When configured with back-button focusing (which a lot of wildlife photographers do), the thumb and the index finger are occupied during shooting. When you need to change a setting in flight while shooting, buttons located in front of the camera would be ideal to allow a third finger to press/hold and release the button. Again, other brands already offer this for a long time.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing Dream Camera! I absolutlly love shooting with my new Sony a9 full frame camera! It has been amazing. I have only one complaint...I wish I had two :)
Date published: 2019-12-06
Rated 5 out of 5 by from 20 FPS with Real-Time Tracking makes magic happen! I recieved my A9ii on Nov 7th and have had a chance to use it for photographing birds in flight as well as a wedding. For reference, I had owned an A7r2 and currently own an A7r3. I had been wanting an A9 as the A7r3 takes spectacular portrait & landscape pictures, but is rather hit or miss when your subject is moving. The reviews of the Ergonomic improvements on the new A7r4 sounded very positive, so when the A9ii was announced & would be using those same improvements, I decided to purchase it. It was immediately obvious the A7r3 and A9ii are both excellent tools, but for two totally different functions, one for resolution, the other for speed of acquiring and maintaining focus while delivering 20 pictures per second, albeit at 24 MP. And yes, all those ergonomic improvements ( larger grip, button size & travel in particular) are just better in all respects from the A7r3 or previous. I have no hands on experience with either the original A9 or the A7r4. The electronic shutter, when set at 20FPS (there is a medium & low setting available as well) is something you must experience to believe. Coupled with the no blackout view finder, capturing birds in flight is as simple as if using a video camera. The Real Time Tracking locks on to your target and just doesn't let go. I'm including some pictures that demonstrates just that. The 1st picture of the two American White Ibis has focus locked on the lead bird. Pictures 2, 3 & 4 are consecutive shots where the A9ii clearly stays focused on the lead Ibis, even as the trailing Ibis almost totally eclipses it. The lens for these pictures was the Sony 70-200mm GM set at f3.2 and 200mm. The A9ii was set at 1/2000 and ISO 100.
