With its price tag and DSLR-like build, the A99 II isn’t for everyone. Even those demanding a full-frame camera have cheaper, more compact and easier to live with options in Sony’s own E-mount cameras including the A7, A7S and A7R. And if you’re already invested in the Nikon or Canon systems, you’re probably better off going with those company’s respective full-frame models so that you can use your existing lenses. But for those willing to invest in a new system or already using A-mount glass, the A99 II is a hugely powerful flagship that can tackle any photography or video task with aplomb. In fact, it’s probably the only camera you’ll ever need – which it might well have to be considering that price tag.
