A few button placements are a tad odd
The Sony a99 II is a camera that is targeted at professional photographers
But will probably be more appreciated by the high-end enthusiast and the semi-professional. Part of this has to do with the durability not b

Abstract: In part 2 of our review of the best lenses for the Sony A99 II, we look at the performance of zoom lenses. More versatile than fixed focal length primes, zoom lenses offer the convenience of multiple focal lengths in a single lens. Image quality isn't qui...

Superb AF performance, Next-gen connectivity, No viewfinder blackout
Fiddly menu system, No XQD/CFexpress support, Limited touchscreen functionality
The A9 II was designed specifically with the photojournalist in mind. For the average user, this camera will likely be overkill, with most of the new features going unused and under-appreciated. For the target audience though, this is one heck of an upgra...
