I think we should move on to talk about the A1. I have a lot of respect for Pius, he is one heck of bird shooter. I have never shot the canon R5, I was salivating over it when it came out. I have been wanting a high resolution, high FPS body with super duper AF. Both the R5 and the A1 provide that. Based on what I read, I think it’s nitpicking to argue which one has better AF, sure , one may be slightly better than the other in certain AF applications. We are really arguing my Ferrari is better than your Limbo, with respect to the AF. The Sony can do some things the R5 can’t, like flash sync, blackout free, better heat handling for video, etc. But is it $2600 better than the R5, probably not, not for MY usage ( birds, air shows, landscape) anyway. I do understand some of the A1’s features that the R5 doesn’t offer are a big deal for some users. I would say as a whole package, price aside, the A1 is a better camera. Mine should arrive in two weeks.
