I am curious to know this:
Who out there is going to buy this because it does something that their current version, or other camera cannot do acceptably? And what is that need that you are filling?
Are these changes (and the competition between brands on relatively obscure features) a big deal or mostly bragging rights?
In what way does this camera change the game for a working professional or advanced amatur?
If I was an R5 shooter, I would buy this day 1 for the following reasons:
1) Stacked sensor...game changer while actively firing on a BIF (I've enjoyed this with A1 and Z8/Z9)
2) RAW precapture...game changer for some really cool shots (I experienced this with A9III)
3) 30FPS over 20....more is always better. (A9III's 120FPS was starting to be a bit overkill but even 60FPS on A9III was great)
I think I would would revise your statement to say:
If I was an R5 shooter focussed on BIF or video, I would buy this on day 1. The precapture is nice but not adjustable enough. The buffer is still not as good as it could be (about the same at 30fps as the R5 20fps which is good and bad). It's not yet clear to me if the fps is adjustable from 30fps in electronic. For BIF, the 30fsp and much lessened rolling shutter would be enough to switch but the precaptures already needs a hardware fix for more options on 0.5s.
I said "If I"...
FPS can be 20, 15,10,5 (exact same as A1)
30FPS gets you the same 200 CRAW which means at 20FPS one should have a much deeper buffer than the R5. But less shooting time at 30FPS than you would have had at 20FPS (10s down to 6.7s)
Adjustable pre-capture will hopefully be added. At least for most things 0.5s is a happy medium...I used either 0.3 or 0.4s for birds on the A9III. I'd like to see some lower options but I can't see any use of longer ones for my type of photography.
Noted about "I". I was not being critical just being helpful to other than "I" I am still looking for the reference to adjustable fps in electronic. Where have you seen this. That would be a big deal to me.
