Sony a1 ii vs sony a1?

The two bodies look almost identical on paper. Both are full frame mirrorless cameras with a 50.1-megapixel sensor, in-body stabilisation and the Sony E mount. The only difference listed is the announcement year: Sony a1 II came out in 2024 and the Sony a1 in 2021. I can't tell you from my notes how they differ in autofocus, speed or price, so check those before you decide.

Since both take the same lenses, pick your lens first. For a versatile kit, the Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM II and Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS II are sensible choices on either body.
