A99 II SUMMARY
At long last, Sony’s new flagship A-mount SLT camera is here. The Sony A99 Mark II can capture high-quality 42.4-megapixel RAW images at a very impressive burst rate. It has an excellent hybrid phase-detect autofocus system to back up the fast capture speeds. On paper, the A99 II is an excellent SLT camera. Fortunately, its positives translated well to real-world shooting, although not without a few negatives. Ultimately, this very good flagship A-mount camera is rugged, durable and fast. If you have been waiting for an excellent full-frame A-mount camera, your wait is over.
