Norway vs Yellowstone... Sony A1 vs A1 II: Is It Worth The Upgrade?! | MPB

Two Sony flagship cameras, and two epic environments! We stacked the Sony A1 against the Sony A1 II to see how these flagships perform in the real world, and whether the A1 II is truly worth the upgrade. Amy took the original Sony A1 to Norway for a week of shooting, while Justin tested the Sony A1 II in Wyoming’s Grand Tetons and Yellowstone National Parks. From specs and speed to autofocus and video performance, this side-by-side test shows what has changed, what hasn’t, and which camera might be the better choice for you.
