I have my exposure comp dial set for Focus Area on both the A7IV and R5. One reason I like these two cams together every CF button and dial I have setup identical

Canon is not „eating“ into Sonys share, at all. Depending on the continent Sony is constantly growing it’s marketshare 2-5% per year. Canon has lost some won some, but the gains did not come at the expense of Sony.
Your rant about „innovation“ mostly shows one thing: that you are not a working photographer. If you were you’d know we hate nothing more than constantly changing bodies, or vastly different body designs in the same brand. The fact that Sony keeps it „same old“ is actually a huge plus to pros using the brand. But you can’t know that, I understand.

A7C was mostly using the APS-C design, which sadly has that flat wide, not too deep grip
Variety is important moving forward, as for Sony being successful, partly down to being the only serious game in town (full frame), at that time. The A6000 did well too, but that was good marketing the camera is nothing special at all.
Things have moved on. They now have rivals in particular Canon is eating into their share quite dramatically in the last 18 months or so.
Now the APS-C line up is stagnated, badly in need up updating (I'm sure they will do something)
It's over to Sony to start innovating in design, or stay using the same old stuff. Having the entire range sharing one body design (FF and APS-C so 2 overall), is puzzling and might come back to haunt them. There are a lot of buyers who do not like what is on offer, it's time to shake things up a bit. ...Show more →

So just a smooth turning dial? I see it still has a lock.
I use the front right wheel under the shutter button when looking through the EVF for this; the top dial to adjust exposure when not looking through EVF. So the numbers in the top dial are useful to me. Guess I'm going to get in the habit of using the rear LCD to see what the top dial is set at.
Maybe Sony's way of starting evolve away from those top dials?

It has stops, just not a hard one.

Got it, thanks! So the same as earlier versions. So if you remembered where it was set, you could count the "clicks" without having ti look at the viewfinder. Good to know.

Heck when I started shooting weddings back in 2000 it was a Canon D30 with a whopping 3mp and everyone thought that was the bees knees. I upgraded to a 4mp 1D a year later and everyone was jealous. Moving to 6mp was like other worldly. A pro Nikon body at 12mp seemed truly unreal. And interestingly enough I feel to this day that is a minimum "sweet spot". You can do a heck of a lot with 12mp and some skill. Heck Sony's doing it today.

I did not shoot digital ICL as my Main camera until they became 10 MPixels. Until then I used film and Canon G1 (3.2 Mpixels) and G5 (5 Mpixels) with RAW support.

Spot on. I remember shooting a wedding back in 2003 with the 4mp Canon 1D. Shooting that camera at that time was like magic.

I admin, I never played around with pixel shift on my a7R III. My general impression was that it didn't seem to buy you much.
But I decided to shoot a few yesterday when shooting one of the waterfalls I like to photograph. I wasn't expecting much, wasn't sure how it would handle the moving water, long exposure, etc.
But holy moly....cropped to 70% to the right side of the frame. Both sharpened in Topaz Sharpen AI.

Whoa that is really nice. I have yet to try it either but that certainly can be handy. Is the software better. Last time is when I had the A7rIV which was a a time ago
