Great camera if you can afford it

ILCE-1M2 29 September 2025 by wmsnyderphoto (USA) Verified Purchaser Verified

So far I love the camera and the simple redesign, but for the money I can't believe they did not include a simple USB C cable.

Best in its class

ILCE-1M2/BQ AP2 09 August 2025 by Christopher Ng (Singapore) Verified Purchaser Verified

The A1ii lives up to its reputation of being the best camera. Beautiful coloration and the new creator app compliments the camera making download on the go seamless.

Best camera

ILCE-1M2/BQ AP2 01 August 2025  (Singapore) Verified Purchaser Verified

I bought the A1ii to use along with my A9 that I have been using for many years. A9 is still a very good camera but the A1ii is so much better in many ways. The AF speed is superb and the high MP means I can use it for studio or editorial shoot where my client need a higher MP camera.

Menu/Function searching.

ILCE-1M2/BQ AP2 13 July 2025 by M2Chan88 (Singapore) Verified Purchaser Verified

The menu is intuitive & color coded for easy searching. Is there an online manual to show how to surf the menu due the large number of customisable functions. Maybe a tree map would be good. Need to search for info online to find out more. Best practices for memory ate also highly appreciated.

Unsure of upgrading!

ILCE-1M2 22 May 2025 by BES1 (United Kingdom)

It took me several months to make my mind up to trade in my A1 which was almost 4 years old having bought it soon after it was issued.. I'm so pleased I have moved on despite being very happy with the A1. The new functions included are perfect for wildlife and action photography which is my main interests. If you are reading my feedback with doubt in your, go for it, I'm pleased I did, It's a truly great camera.

ILCE-1M2 29 April 2025 by Jim61 (USA) Verified Purchaser Verified

Great camera. Would be greater if SONY's version of the RAW format was compatible with Mac's the way the Mark 1 was. Also, the version is still 1.0 necessitating a complex upgrade right out of the box. For Mac people, this is a problem/

Review the Sony a1 ii

ILCE-1M2 26 April 2025 by Tweety pie tfh (United Kingdom)

I got the Sony a1 ii about 3 weeks ago and couldn’t wait as I have the a6700 and a7iv for sports and to be honest am disappointed in the sharpness and quality of photos. I shoot sports and the only thing I like is pre-capture

ILCE-1M2/BQ AP2 25 April 2025 by LeeJoe68 (Singapore)

It's my first time using the sony A1ii for birding, was on DSLR before, still trying to figure out those settings, but i could tell the focusing speed and tracking were fast and spot on most of the time.

This is the best camera I have ever used

ILCE-1M2 14 April 2025 by swanniboy (United Kingdom)

I bought this A1 ii to replace my A1. The A1 is still a fantastic camera but the A1 ii is just amazing. The auto focus is soo good. the new floppy screen is so convenient. All in all it is the best camera I have ever used. I love it.

A1mk2

ILCE-1M2 10 April 2025 by Bluesnappa (United Kingdom)

I like the ergonomics over the a1 mk1. Focus acquisition is excellent and a definite improvement. I was disappointed to see the same hot shoe cover as the A1 is still there. It lets water onto the contacts and the camera locks up. I did mention this when I bought the A1 but nothing has been done to address this weakness. If the mk2 locks up in the same way, I will have to resort to using a Nikon hot shoe cover Bs-3 to protect the contacts and prevent damp getting to them. I am not the only one to have this issue but so far it has been ignored by Sony. So a brilliant camera with one potential Achilles heel. Come on Sony listed to your users as I shouldn’t have to be going to a third party rival at this price point.

Best camera on the planet

ILCE-1M2 10 February 2025 by Sandy 31 (United Kingdom)

I have had the camera two weeks now, I can’t believe how good it is. I use it mainly for wildlife, the tracking features are second to none, the low light capabilities are just amazing.

SONY a1 II beats my expectations hands down!

ILCE-1M2/BQ AP2 01 February 2025 by JEAN670650 (Singapore) Verified Purchaser Verified

My original a1 was already a game changer in the way I captured wildlife, and I never regretted. But it did have certain areas where I wished improvements would come. The a1 II brought all those into play, and I was able to instantly see the results! My top three favourites: much better (AI) focus tracking, better RAW quality files and pre-capture killer function!

Can't wait for the firmware upgrade

ILCE-1M2/BQ AP2 22 January 2025 by AlanChew66 (Singapore) Verified Purchaser Verified

The continuous auto focusing can be quite a challenge occasionally. Got to reset the camera to factory setting after some meddling and the shutter becomes silent.. Just hoping SONY can release some firmware upgrade soonest.

Display screen issue.

ILCE-1M2/BQ AP2 10 January 2025 by PJSNG26 (Singapore) Verified Purchaser Verified

I am one of the 50 1st preorder customers in Singapore. Received my camera on 20-Dec-24. Within the first hours of trying to understand the Menu system, the display screen intermittently displayed vertical block of lines. Reported to Sony Store @313 Somerset and requested for replacement. Unfortunately I have to wait till the next batch arrives sometime in January. Nevertheless I was able to used the unit for the time being and had been out on the fields shooting birds. Performance-wise I love the precapture feature and the AF is awesome.

Worth the uograde for me IMO

ILCE-1M2/BQ AP2 10 January 2025 by EY69 (Singapore) Verified Purchaser Verified

Upgraded from the A1, no regrets - just made an amazing camera even better. Love the new screen - plus still able to use as a normal flip-up screen but now have the added benefit of multi-angle (That alone is worth it IMO) and better EVF - precapture works well. New body will be a blessing for some (I have big hands so the original A1 wasnt an issue for me but def feels better). Autofocus is def an improvement for sure and seems more accurate (AI chip). Overall I think its a great upgrade to an already fantastic camera. Obviosly its up to you and your budget but for ME its awesome and worth it :)

While not revolutionary, it is a worthy upgrade.

ILCE-1M2/BQ AP2 10 January 2025 by rachnei (Singapore) Verified Purchaser Verified

I have 2 A1 bodies that have been my work horses since release. While the A1 II is more evolutionary than revolutionary, it is still a worthy upgrade and improves on all the features that I use. Ergonomics has improved significantly. The UI is better in my opinion. AF, subject detection, stabilization, speed have all been improved.

Definitely worth upgrading

ILCE-1M2 26 December 2024 by TimC_PX (United Kingdom)

I've had my A1 II for a week now but not much chance of using it so far due to the weather and work commitments. However, my initial thoughts. Note: I used the Mark Galer camset with a bit of Colby Brown and my own mods to get me going. I always liked the relatively small size of the Mk1, the Mk2 is larger but more comfortable with the shutter button better placed. The right-hand strap point slightly higher so it no longer rubs on my finger. The power switch is slightly more resistant/stiffer; a definite bonus as my Mk1 was always switching on in my camera bag. Although fractionally lighter, I don't notice it, probably due to the increased size making me think it's actually heavier 🙂 Low light performance is excellent and the improved IBIS awesome - you can hand hold are very low speeds. AI subject recognition is super-fast and sticky. I have it set to auto and it happily switches between dogs, cats and people. Nice to have the focus bracketing - I use it a lot for macro on my A7RV. I've taken a range of landscape and street photographs with the 24-70GM2 but lack of support for RAW in my chosen editor Capture One is holding me back a bit. I could use JPEG or HEIF but happy to wait. ON1 and Affinity Photo 2 do work with the Mk2 raw so will try them. Looking forward to trying BIF when I get the chance.
