Sony Alpha a99 II Unique Features
The A99 II is furnished with something much more powerful. The back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS sensor has an effective pixel count of 42.4MP, and features gapless microlenses to help funnel as much light as possible into each photosite. There's no anti-aliasing filter to enable better detail retention, and Sony has primed it with an anti-reflective coating too. The camera also benefits from a five-axis image stabilisation system, that promises a maximum 4.5EV step advantage over unstabilised shooting.
