I think for many of us the A7RII was such a massive leap, as was the A9. I must admit, I don't feel like the A7RIII has that same, "Holy COW!" draw to it as an A7RII owner, but I've no doubt the improvements will be pretty noticeable. The AF joystick, touch screen, improved viewfinder, faster AF, more frames per/sec and who couldn't use an extra stop of dynamic range, better IBS and better battery performance? As a dedicated landscape photographer, I get the impression the pixel shift piece may be viable for me in certain situations, but I tend to favor dynamic light and that changes second by second, so we'll see. The landscape photographer in me was hoping for a bigger megapixel count, for sure. If I knew for sure that an A9R was in the works and it was going to have the general performance of the A7RII but with lets say 65 + megapixels? That I'd shell out for without hesitation.
Not all upgrades are tech related. Sometimes better means improved functions.
I think the a7RIII is a functional improvement, which translates into working environments more so than spec sheets.
Improved Eye-AF, battery life, dual slots, continuous silent shooting. USB 3.1 tethering, WiFi to Computer FTP. These are all improvements that makes working with this camera in the field a tool, and not just a great photo taker. Working pros like myself were waiting on these improvements and I immediately hit the pre-order button. Never bought an a7RII because it lacked the above features.
