While flagship mobile devices are getting better and better when it comes to cameras, there are still limits that they can’t reach. The new Sony Alpha 1 II is here to remind us why the professional camera segment is still very much alive.

Sony announced its new A1 II pro-focused mirrorless camera during today’s livestream from its Creative Space event in New York City. The camera has various speed and performance improvements over its predecessor, plus a fast new zoom lens to accompany it.

Sony's A1 II is a minor update of the groundbreaking Alpha A1 that suggests we've hit a camera tech ceiling. It arrives alongside the new FE 28-70mm F2 GM lens.
