Honestly, Sony needs to put the a1 sensor in the a9iii to be competitive. If they want to sell a9iii at $4k. They can gimp the evf, lcd, video…
I have a full set of Sony lenses, and the only thing I want is a usable silent shutter for moving subjects (fast scan speed) at around $4000.
The Z8 checks all the boxes, including the bonus backlit buttons that I yearn for in a Sony body.
But unfortunately Nikon Z lenses are heavy and ugly (in my opinion), not to mention their heavy bodies.
So I really do not want to switch body/system to the Z8 just to get a usable silent shutter. But getting the A1 without the new tilt screen of A7RV, low res LCD, much higher price etc at this late of the product cycle doesn't make sense right now.
This brings me to my question, how likely is it for A9 III to get 40/50+ MP and fast electronic shutter like the A1/Z8?
