Sony announced its new A1 II pro-focused mirrorless camera during today’s livestream from its Creative Space event in New York City. The camera has various speed and performance improvements over its predecessor, plus a fast new zoom lens to accompany it.

There's a row about whether the new Sony A1 II is actually the first camera with object recognition – not least from Fujifilm owners – but my drone could do this years ago!

Sony's A1 II is a minor update of the groundbreaking Alpha A1 that suggests we've hit a camera tech ceiling. It arrives alongside the new FE 28-70mm F2 GM lens.
