Still not as quick as canon r5 and terrible rollong shutter.
It's a Landscape (and Studio) oriented camera after all (not sports or cinema). Depends on your expectations.
Gerald Undone's take : in 8K mode, it's fairly obvious but in other mode (4k, aspc, i won't list you the exact mode names as i am not a video expert), it's less severe and ok (considering it's not a stacked sensor...).
People who tested it already say that IBIS still in reality is good up to 3.5 stops at very best. So no real upgrade here.
Idk the lack of real progress is the big dissapointment for me.
Slow read out speed(it's like slower than RIII) at this price point is kinda meh. Thou i understand, this is how business work, can't be one camera for all.
This camera offers focus bracketing in camera and image assembly in computer (in Imaging Edge).
Makes sense - using the computer to handle the large amount of data involved in assembling the image.
This is what Nikon has in D850 (and likely Z series) and already a great help and progress. You can then take it to PS/Helicon whatever program you like.
Other new stuff I like (coming from a 7R2) :
- The flip & tilt screen
- Monitor type : 8.0 cm (3.2-type) type TFT (previous models were still at 3.0 right ?)
- EVF res : 9 437 184 dots
- Focus sensitivity range : starting at EV-4

Gerald Undone has tested it and found it was improved in video for Telephoto.
In other scenari, he didn't notice any improvement.

Of course it is mainly a stills camera. However a high MP count camera as canon r5 is also quite a fast beast. Not as quick as a R3 or probably upcoming R1. I guess no one expects A7r5 to be a better sports camera than A1. But it would be awesome if it would at least be somewhere near R5 10/15 fps mech/e with acceptable rolling shutter ~1/50-1/60s. It would still be way slower than A1, have just few more pixels and it would not offer blacout free viewfinder. A1 position would remain unchallenged.
In the video there was just multishot mentioned. No focus stacking. I guess noone expects thestack to be done in camera. But making a series of RAWs to be stitched on PC would be welcome.

Agreed. I can't understand the whining about not stacking in camera. If you stack a lot, then you know that there's a lot of different parameters you can tweak, different algorithms to use, etc. The last thing I want to do is rely on the camera to make those decisions for me, and on top of that chew up processing time and battery life to do so. This new solution is great for those who stack without forcing a compromise by doing it in camera. Honestly, this has got to be a pretty niche market to start with so the noise made around this feature is a bit out of proportion.

If you want faster readout, Sony has several cameras to sell you.
For everything else, there's this camera, I guess.
I already wrote that so i have no idea why you feel the need to repeat it. Also for everything without the "else" there is A1 or look at R5 but that was not my point.The point was the lack of any progress in that regard(obviously intentional, i know) and no real improvment in IBIS(for stills). Which makes me feel a little dissapointed at this price point. Nothing more.

Right but you're comparing 45Mpx to 60Mpx; it's not a simple matter to just make reading out that many pixels a lot faster. You can bet that Canon chose a lower megapixel count precisely so they could read out faster and claim a performance edge in that tick box.
I like the idea of the new features and tech but I still don't have much use for 61mp. With the A7IV being a recent release, I guess it's going to be a while before it trickles down to other cameras.
Maybe some hope for an A7C with a few new features?
