@davedv Sony praised themselves with better low light and improved image quality in the press release of the A9II. I want to see something concrete, is that much to ask!?
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.
