Nothing in this list seems like a compelling reason for me to spend thousands of dollars to upgrade from the A7R4. If this rumor is true, it will probably cement my decision to go to Fuji GFX.
I know most people don't care, but I was waiting and hoping for more resolution (and focus stacking). I'll take all the pixels I can reasonably afford, for printing, software perspective control, and fewer aliasing artifacts. We know Sony has a higher rez sensor; I wonder what they plan to do with it, and when?
If I were guessing, I'd say they will use the 100MP sensor when the next generation or two of processing chips come out that can, with no increased power consumption, handle the throughput better than the current generation A7r4 which, while fine, is feeling a little sluggish operationally compared to the A1 and A74. The ancillary electronics in the A74 and A1 would probably, when combined with the 100MP chip, give similar operational smoothness to the current A7r4.
You may prefer 100MP with that trade-off, and many other people would too, but I'm guessing Sony would assume that people would say it was a step backwards. So it may be a few years yet before we see 100mp in an FF body (and if the rumour of Sony developing medium format are true, they may never do that!)
Or, of course, the rumour is wrong and so am I and the r5 will be 100MP!
