Partially stacked and 30FPS means I would take a look at this camera as a backup for travel next to the A1II. Will see how fast it can read out. If it can read out as fast as R5 or faster then it is a feasible BIF camera despite not having fully stacked sensor.
33MP would be a nice mid ground between 24 and 50.

How does a partial stacked sensor stack up against a fully stacked sensor? I shoot race cars and have to pan quickly often, as well as some sports. I want silent shutter for tennis and other sports where I have to be silent. I don't want any rolling shutter/ warping. I'd probably get a used a1 but... Maybe this instead.

Just go watch reviews of the Z6iii or the S1ii to get this answer.
The scan speed is...fine...on those cameras, but not great, and you still need to use mech shutter in demanding situations. For your use case, I'd not even consider a partially stacked camera...just get an A1 or A1ii and be done with it.
The question is, how much tech was Sony holding back for themselves? Are they going to bump up to 33mp with the same frame rates as the other two cameras and hit the same frame rates? Are they going to use a 24mp sensor and out-frame-rate the competition?

Thank you. Wonder if they went partial stack as to not overlap their segments of a9 and a1.

Sony shooters as a wide group seem more concerned about spec sheets than true image making. Partial stacking is a nice bullet point that allows Sony to charge $1000 more than their closest competition.
The truth is modern non-stacked and non-partial-stacked cameras still offer the vastly superior price to performance ratio, and if you need stacked, just get full stacked for the full benefits of the technology.

Exactly. His comment is non-nonsensical. In every major brands' loyal fan base there is a sub-layer of consumers who are obsessed with specifications. This is not just about Sony. This is probably more than true about some Nikon and Canon shooters who want to use their brand as a sign of self-validation.

The latest from SAR:
"It has Pre Capture just like the Sony A1II
30fps electronic shutter records 14 bit RAW. But the buffer ain’t as long as on the Sony A1II
AF is calculated 60 times per second, and my sources say it performs superbly.
It does NOT have Open Gate"

I fail to see why people get themselves worked up into such a lather about the latest body release. We are buying into an ecosystem and everyone is just dating bodies. While I admit to continually second guessing whether I should replace my A7Rv as my main body, I have no uncertainty that for shooting wide to moderately telephoto focal lengths for travel, event and the occasional field sports activity, e-mount was the right choice for me. I enjoy the options that include so many outstanding first and third party options including the great Tamron 28-200 and a great variety of Sony primes and zooms

Interesting, I wonder if it's gonna be 30 fps but with slow readout ...

With partially stacked it could be fast enough for most action work. That will be the big question. When I owned R5 which wasn't stacked or partially stacked it had a readout that worked for most of my BIF. So if this sensor is faster than that it could be useable.
The specs look good if the sensor can keep up. 60 AF per s vs 120 AF per s on A1/A9 series may or may not make a big difference??

I used to have A7III and I occasionally got deformed pictures of my kids, so I was really hesitant to use ES for any kind of action . AFAIR, A7III readout speed is about 2x faster than A7RV.
But partially stacked my solve this issue, fingers crossed .
