Sony Alpha 99 - Alpha 99 II camera with A-mount interchangeable lens

Sony India has launched alpha 99 II, an ‘A-mount’ interchangeable lens camera in India – the successor to the a99. Key features on the camera include Translucent Mirror Technology (TMT), a Hybrid Phase Detection AF system, up to 12 fps high-speed continuous shooting, 5-axis optical image stabilization and 4k movie recording.



Like Sony's APS-c flagship, α77, the α99 has the ability to record Full HD 1080 video with up to 60p frame rate. In markets outside China, this camera also has built-in GPS that allows recording of position information into the photo. The α99 also uses a three-way tiltable LCD, as used on α77, this feature allows the photographer to view the LCD from any angle. Alongside the lens mount Sony has replaced the traditional autofocus mode selection dial with a "Silent Multi-Controller" which is a customizable dial with silent detents and a central button used for confirmation. The dial's function can be brought up with a press of the central button and then changed using the dial silently during the movie or still recording. The dial's functions can also be changed on the fly by long-pressing the button and then selecting whichever function is desired.
For flexibility, Sony α99 allows users to use Sony's crop APS-C DT lenses and consequently automatically cropping the image to the smaller frame

Due to full pixel readout without pixel binning, 4k movie recording in Super 35 mm format offers more clarity than typical 4k movies, thanks to it collecting 1.8 times as much information as needed for 4k movie output. Sony alpha 99 II has compatibility for Sony A- mount lenses, and reported Battery life for approximate 390 shots (Viewfinder)/ approximate 490 shots (LCD monitor).
Sony Alpha 99 II is available at selected Sony Centres and other electronic and digital imaging stores across the country at Rs 2,49,990.

An updated version, the Sony α99 II, was announced at Photokina in September 2016.
