Customer Reviews for Sony - Alpha a99 II DSLR Camera (Body Only)

I decided to upgrade to the Sony a99ii from my beloved Sony a99 and have been very pleased with the new features and advances introduced on the Sony a99ii. I'm a wildlife photographer and the jump to a 42 megapixel sensor is very noticeable, additionally the upto 12 fps shooting is awesome, the viewfinder is amazingly bright and the camera overall is very responsive.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I had the original and I bought the M2 one week ago and so far I am very impressed. A great all-around camera. Amazingly the alpha mount accepts a 25 year-old Minolta lens that works very with the automatic features - focus and exposure. The camera was easy to get up and running, but I had the advantage of experience with the original.
The only issue is that the camera can lose wireless connection to the GPS from my iPhone X. Probably an interference issue at home. Quickly turning the camera off-and-on usually reconnects. Once connected it seems fine until I switch to playback or go to a different app on the phone.
The menu system is complicated and some features are hard to find (e.g.,Style). But you can always program one of the buttons . . .

I upgraded from the a99 to the a99ii. Was well worth every penny. This is a great camera. I have already gotten some great photos grateful I would not have gotten with the a99. I hope Sony will one day come out with a a99iii, as I will buy that one two.

I have had 2 a99 and this new one (a99ll) has a lot of features that make it so much better, including the clear image zoom, increase in pixels, the way the power button has been recessed as well as the navigator stick being smaller so it doesn't

Love this camera! I've had it since it came out. Perfect camera, perfect body. It Just works! I've had an a300, a700, a900, a99 and now with the a99ii. The a99ii is the best of all of them together. Fast and accurate focus tracking and focus speed. Great video recording. Have a stable of Zeiss and G lenses that just work perfectly with this camera.
