Mark Galer mentioned it was only a problem with smaller birds moving rapidly, not getting the expected sharpness.
I don't think it's copy variation since he's getting great shots with the same lens on larger subjects and also with the A9.
It could be a lot of things. Alex Phan today on FB:
Here is the request of folks that ask me last time: shot with 200-600. The lens responding much better compare to A9M2. Hit rate also improving.
Bird eye AF. this picture is SOOC. No edit. Just resize.
A1 + 200-600G

The focus performance on a long lens will vary with seeing. If I recall Mark Galer's comments on the 200-600 correctly he didn't have the equipment with him to do back to back comparisons.
Look, the important thing in the Northrup video was that Chelsea finally admitted to being "Polycamerous". I am fairly open minded about these things so I am not judging. Tony seemed to take it well.
However, I will suggest that we need to keep her and our good friend Arbitrage separated. Things could get way out of control, cameras flying in all directions, pure chaos...

He was probably ‘pochard peeping’.
I really think he should start his own photography gear review site. Canadian competition to T&C. Of course it would take a lot of ads and sponsors to rake in as much money as a dental practice can.

The two Marks, Mark Smith and Mark Galer are my favorite youtubers, low key but solid guys, their numbers of subscribers don't reflect that though. I guess the ones who yell the loudest get the most attention.

I do recall such an incident...but I'm racking my brain to remember where we were at the time
..some ISO comparison A9II a7RIV A1 - it`s German
he mentioned that capture one is able to open compressed raw from the alpha 1 - hi did some unedited ISO comparison..

No german for me either, but if you watch it anyway you can figure out whats going on. To me at least the a1 looks really good in this test. The noise looks to be about a full stop-ish better than the RIV (the RIV is slightly more pixels, so cut it some slack there). Compared to the a9 it looks very good, won't say 'better' but it is double the pixels. When mine comes I'll do the same thing I did when I got the 600F4.... I will tie my daughters troll doll to a post and take pictures of it since the hair is pretty similar to the feathers and fur I care about :-) . If it were no worse than the RIV I'd be happy assuming the AF is what we expect. Seeing it looks noticeably better makes me happy.

And the verdict? Sorry, don't understand German.
I'm downloading his shared RAWs that are linked via Google Drive in the video description. Now I can see exactly how it compares to A9 and A7RIV in LR.
