I should add that it was my hope that the A9 Mark II changed into a 36 MP resolution camera as the stacked sensor is the biggest game changer in the camera business. But it was not.
Yes, the ideal (and logical in many respects) A92 would have been a slightly higher resolution stacked sensor with a higher resolution EVF (same as A7R4’s), a higher resolution rear screen, and true (up to 120fps) 4K s-log video. I guess that technically all that was not possible for a variety of reasons (processing power, battery life, heat etc.) but hopefully Sony can make it happen for the A93.
As for the A9R that some people keep dreaming about — ain’t gonna happen IMO. The A9 occupies an obvious “high speed” niche that’s very different from the “high resolution” niche served by the A7xR series. Dreaming of the A9R is like dreaming of a high resolution 1Dx series camera. Makes no sense IMO.
That would also be my only concern with the R5 — is it trying to cram too much into a single body, forcing compromises in some areas? There’s surely a limit to how much processing power, battery power and heat dissipation can be built into a body that size. I guess we’ll find out soon enough.
