Re: Sony Alpha 1 for a Canon EOS R5 Mark II - Pros and Cons
One might say you're crazy for basing your decision on what others, many of which would be strangers, thoughts are. I thought I had a lot of equipment, but looking at your profile, you have me beat.
So it really comes down to whether you think it's crazy. Ultimately you are the one who lives with the decision.

First, I shoot with both Sony and Canon and know this is a Sony Forum.
Currently own 2 x A1 and a First generation EOS R5 as well as other Sony bodies.
I’ve given some thought to upgrading my sole Canon body to their newer stacked sensor R5 Mark II and selling off one of my A1’s and the R5 to pay for it. You may ask why and it’s as simple or complex as enjoying the diversity in the two camera systems. I’ve shot Canon since my film days in the 1970’s and then moved to digital with them. Sony I’ve been shooting with them now for ten years to take advantage of mirrorless technology.
I’m sure a lot here have given a look at the new R5 Mark II features and reviews and I’m wondering if this makes any sense.
My available lenses that I already own in each system will easily cover my needs and I really don’t see any breathtaking new introductions coming down the pike in each. Of course the smarter thing to do would wait for the A1 II but I expect that to be a year away I’m thinking and pre-capture is a feature I would like to take advantage of for wildlife and birds and the A9III’s resolution is to low for me. I could also just sell my Canon gear and buy a 300mm and 600mm GM. Have considered that as well.
Am I crazy to consider this?
