Have a slight possibility of picking up a new camera in a month or so; currently have an a7iii and a7riii and planning to just add another camera rather than swap one of these out (one will go to my fiancee)
Was considering the A7rv due to the screen, focus stacking, medium compressed mode and new bulb mode, even though it has no improvement in read out speed vs my current cameras, however a second hand A1 has come up nearby at about the same price as the rV new.
Looking for better af for wildlife essentially, but typical main subjects are landscape and astro (both landscape astro and deeper tracked). Shooting stills and time-lapse, with occasional video only
How good is the af in the rV for birds in flight vs the a7iii/riii, or is the stacked a1 sensor needed here, and anyone have first hand experience with how the 61mp sensor is vs the 50 for low light? (seems to be a bit mixed online comparisons)

I wouldn't have thought a stacked sensor is necessary for BiF, unless those birds are very sensitive to noise (like hummingbirds at fairly close range perhaps). After all, people have been taking BiF photos for decades with mechanical shutters. What the A1 does offer that's potentially useful over the A7R5 is the blackout-free EVF, which makes visually tracking fast-moving subjects easier. But again, not essential for BiF (IMO).
By all accounts the A7R5's autofocus is on par or slightly better than the A1's, but both are no doubt equally capable when it comes to BiF. If I were buying a new body today and didn't need silent shooting capability then I'd probably get an A7R5. But because I have an A1 I'm weirdly addicted to silent shooting!
