Alpha 1 II

Nikon has been aggressive in giving photographers, and now videographers, the most bang for their buck in mirrorless. The Z-mount is semi-open, giving you the same budget options that Sony shooters get, and you can adapt E-mount lenses as well since there are more E-mount lenses floating around the

I've had the Sony A1 since 2021 and the A1 II since launch and zero issues so far shooting in basically every scenario. Pretty easy to work with after getting it all dialed in.

Some interesting perspectives from this photographer: I’ve been railing against this niche nuisance for years now. And I give Sony credit for at least starting to pay attention to it in 2023 with the A9 III, but it just isn’t doing enough. My A9 III feels slightly better to use than my original A1 t

Use your phone, few months isn’t enough to learn. You won’t get extremely good results in your upcoming trip even with a sony a1ii. Your phone will make better photographs initially. Now if you want to learn photography with a camera, get yourself a used sony a6400 with a suitable prime lens from a

I own an insane setup, the Sony A1ii with a Sony 300mm f2.8 lens.

I use shoot both sonh and nikon. Sony a6300 then a7iv and now a1ii. Nikon I have the D850 and D6. After yesterdays a7vi release i'll be buying the z9ii. I thought i had the latest and greatest...now future cameras are gonna use the new battery and and new freaking Grip ! They just released the a1ii/

Hahahahah :) I do own both Sony A1 II and A9III but they collect dust in the wardrobe. Leica is so much more fun to use.

I'd say there are six options from the main three brands, in two categories: Brand-New mid-range pro cameras:Canon R6 IIISony a7VBoth of these have 33MP, fast burst, good video, the Sony has higher IQ, the Canon is faster, but they're very close cameras. Personally I'd go Sony every time because of

Currently have a R5 but if money was no issue, definitely the Sony A1 ii. I hate that Canons top of the line cameras have that giant weird form factor like the R3.
