Sony Alpha 1 II to be announced November 19

The much-anticipated (and furiously leaked) Sony Alpha 1 II is going to be announced on Tuesday 19 November, with shipping rumoured for early December.

The forthcoming  Sony Alpha 1 II is being teased furiously by Sony and others and will be officially unveiled at 09.00 EST on Tuesday November 19th. The pre-event live stream has already been set up, and even resellers are flagging it up ahead of time in what looks like a classic spoiler operation to undermine the launch of the Canon EOS R1.

We don't know much about if officially as yet, but the ever-active and usually reliable Sony Alpha Rumours reckons it has an inside track on the possible specs. 

• Sony A9III body
• Same 50MP A1 sensor
• Pre-Capture
• 3.2 inch vari angle screen
• 8 stops stabilization (Sony A1 has 5.5 stops)
• 30fps
• 8k30p
• AI chip which allows to have all the A9III goodies like accurate subject recognition, improved AF and so forth
• New 4.0 CFexpress Type A card for faster buffering
• Price €7499 ($ pricing uncertain)

We will know more in under a week.
