It was more than enough to get me to upgrade from my a7R III. I think we're reaching a level of maturity where expectations that each camera release is going to destroy the prior version, or crosses over and trounces other model lines, is unrealistic.
New technology released in this camera will be refined and most likely included in the next iteration of the other model lines.
Who could have seen all of this excess launch day stock coming?!
That's a good use case upgrade. For the vast majority of camera shoppers, especially in the beginning of December during a terrible economy, an expensive niche high res camera body isn't the barn burner a lot of people want it to be. This thread has proved that most A1 owners, sensibly, are waiting to see if their body gets the focus stacking via FW (probably won't) or just wait for the mark ii body and get all these features.

Overall a camera that doesn’t make a ton of sense in the Sony lineup, and feels like a camera they felt they had to release instead of one they wanted to. It’s full of compromises in a market where Sony’s competitors are throwing the kitchen sinks at their flagships.That's a good use case upgrade.
