Sony A1 II (ILCE-1M2)

Sonyproall critical fields sourced· 5/8 specs sourced

Sony's no-compromise flagship hybrid, pairing a 50.1MP stacked sensor with 30fps stills and 8K30 video, IBIS, and dual CFexpress A / SD UHS-II slots in a 743g body. It targets sports, wildlife and commercial pros who need speed and resolution at once. The catch is value: it's Sony's most expensive Alpha, and the data notes the A7 IV covers most work for far less if you don't need 8K or 30fps.
