As a Sony mirrorless shooter, I'm eagerly anticipating the release of the Sony a1 Mark II. The original a1 was groundbreaking, with its 50MP sensor, 30fps burst, 8K video and advanced AF. But that got me thinking - what could Sony bring to the table with the a1 Mark II to top the impressive specs of the original? Some things on my wishlist: A new stacked sensor, perhaps 60-70MP resolution Improved dynamic range and high ISO performance Even faster shooting speeds, maybe 40-50fps 8K 60p video with longer record times Next-gen AI-based subject recognition autofocus A bigger, higher-res EVF with lower lag Faster sensor readout to reduce rolling shutter Dual CFexpress Type A card slots Enhanced heat dissipation for longer 8K recording Wireless tethering and file transfer capabilities Those are just some ideas off the top of my head. What do you think? What killer new features would make the Sony a1 II an instant-buy for you? What advancements seem realistic in the next generation? I'm interested to hear everyone's thoughts!

Here are a few features I would like to see in a1 mark ii: Improved autofocus performance - Specifically better low light AF capabilities and enhanced subject tracking/animal AF abilities. The A1 already has excellent AF but refining it even further would be welcome. Flip-out rear LCD screen - The lack of a flip screen is a notable omission on the A1, especially given its video capabilities. Adding this would make the A1II much more versatile. Higher capacity storage - 1TB of internal storage would be a major upgrade over the A1 and allow extensive photo/video shooting without swapping cards. 8K 60p video - While the A1 has great 8K 30p video already, the ability to shoot 8K at 60fps would cement its position as an elite hybrid camera. Better rolling shutter performance would also be beneficial. Improved battery life - The A1 is already power hungry so extending the battery life would further aid all-day shooting for both stills and video. This could be achieved through a higher capacity battery or power efficiencies from the new processor. Enhanced durability - For a no-compromise professional camera, boosting the weather/dust resistance further and ensuring robust build quality for demanding situations would make sense. Additional professional video features - Tools like waveforms, LUTs or proxy recording would satisfy advanced video shooters.

Make it cheaper launch price, as Nikon Z9 for $5499.
