It's funny how there are virtually no full size sample images from the A9II on the web, although the camera is in the stores already. :)

Considering that it's the same sensor as in the original A9, the image quality should be pretty much the same, especially if shooting RAW. So you could probably look at A9 sample images to get an idea of what to expect.

Yawn@ All camera's lacking 4K 60p or better in 2019. No appropriate words@ how I feel about all of these overpriced non revolutionary "revolutionary" camera's in 2019. "Revolutionary" is the word of the year for marketing apparently. X-T3, and EMX-1 are the only camera's that broke free from the herd, but even they are overpriced. The bubble was popping in slow motion this time, but it has officially popped and these companies will be doused to dull flames if they don't get a clue very very soon.

Main updates since original A9

• Upgraded BIONZ X image processor - said to give improved AF/AR detection, image processing, face detection and accuracy.
• Upgraded dust and moisture resistant design - with stronger sealing provided at all body seams
• Latest image-processing algorithm - to reduce noise in the medium-to-high sensitivity range, whilst also improving resolution and image quality
• Improved Image Stabilization - 5.5stops
• Improved grip, with improved comfort, also compatible with Sony VG-C4EM vertical grip
• Improved button design and feel, with a bigger AF-ON button, refined joystick, exposure comp dial lock button, with a redesigned shape and position for rear dial
• Redesigned shutter mechanism to suppress movement that can cause image blur (still rated for 500,000 shutter cycles)
• USB Type-C connection
• Dual media slots now both support UHS-II
• Digital audio interface has been added to the camera's multi interface show (MI shoe) to support ECM-B1M shotgun mike, or XLR-K3M.
