Superb images on all levels. I think we expected that. Do you have comments on the shooting experience? In the end that will count for a lot.
Huge upgrade from my old A9 in all levels except it seems to drain batteries noticeably faster.
Menus take some time to get used to.
EVF is much better (and probably partly reason for battery drain).
Image review, zooming, culling (setting for double click delete button) is much faster, at least with CFA cards.
Power on, wake up from sleep much faster.
Bird eye AF is a bit hit and miss, need to control it by using suitable focus area (or it may jump between subjects) and disable it when it jumps to something else than an eye. Fortunately you can assign a button for instant toggle. I am optimistic this will improve in new firmware, human eye AF has had updates for many years now. Animal eye seems better but only tested it on images of animals on screen so far.
I believe it is as good or better than the A9 on the old AF modes. Despite having 50 megapixels.
As I am sure you know there is no longer a real penalty anymore for using electronic shutter, DR, rolling shutter performance and anti flicker are now practically as good as with mechanical. The electronic shutter artifacts that you can sometimes see in fast wing beats of small birds (from the sensor reading out multiple rows simultaneously) also seem to be significantly improved over my A9 as far as I have been able to test (not tested it on small birds yet though, only the spokes on the wheel of my bike).
In shot this feels like a camera that can handle any situation.
