I’m talking frames per second for burst capture and your talking shutter speed for flash speed. Two different thing but both important depending on what the usage is. The A1 1/400 s for flash speed is great but it still is an EFCS Only and not a traditional two curtain mechanical shutter so it can affect Bocah depending on aperture. It is carbon fiber that makes it very robust. The A7RV and many other Sonys are true combo types supporting both two curtain and EFCS so it can be used in full mechanical to reduce its impact on Bocah but can cause more self vibration at some shutter speeds than in Electronic First Curtain. The manual and menus only have EFCS enable/disable on A7RV.
All that said I was referring to frame rates and not shutter speed. Sorry for the confusion.
as i understand it flash is preferred with an efcs shutter, it can enable a faster sync speed, so there are advantages to it.
the other problem is that you don't need m.s. shutter with the a1, like you would with a7rv/r5, so quoting r5 12fps with the m.s. doesn't mean anything in the context of a1 shooting, since the a1 doesn't have rolling shutter distortion.
wrt electronic shutters, the r5 will have less distortion than the a7rv, but for best results neither camera is the best choice for ball sports, so 7fps vs. 12fps isn't much of a factor.
