Sony A9 mark II + 100-400mm GM OSS

The Sony A9 Mark II body is the professional system camera for the sports photographer. This is because the camera has incredible features! Sony has incorporated all the feedback from sports photographers into this successor to the A9. With a 5-axis stabilisation system, you are always assured of stable images, even when shooting from the hand! Video shooting is also trouble-free thanks to the fast BIONZ X processor. Any noise is minimised and your images are processed quickly. The Sony A9 mark II's autofocus system consists of no less than 693 AF points that occupy up to 93% of the image area. This allows the camera to keep track of moving subjects without any problems.

The CMOS sensor features integrated memory that can temporarily store large data, making the readout speed up to 20 times faster than normal sensors. The processor works with a front-end LSI to ensure speed in AF/AEF. Moreover, the viewfinder guarantees an image free of blackouts, unique in the camera world, even when you take several shots in a row. So you have an unbroken view of your subject, even while shooting! The high-speed, shake-free shutter provides even more shooting possibilities. The A9 mark II offers 10fps using the mechanical shutter, which is twice the speed of its predecessor.

The Sony A9 mark II system camera includes a dual SD UHS-II memory card slot. Since you can insert two SD cards in the camera at the same time, you can shoot longer and save your images separately or back them up instantly. Operation is via the tilting touchscreen LCD screen and updated button design. In addition, the mount has a protective coating, dirt is automatically repelled.

The Sony A9 Mark II full weather mount has been improved over its predecessor. For example, the body seams, battery compartment cover and media slot cover have been reinforced. So you don't have to worry about taking your camera with you when travelling, when it rains or when you go out into nature. The tilting LCD display also allows you to shoot from awkward angles. You can instantly share your images with your team or third parties via the integrated WiFi. In addition, you can record voice memos with the camera. This is a great addition for the professional sports photographer!
