I just watched and read a few reviews on the A1 II, and... eh.
Don't get me wrong, it still looks and sounds like an impressive stills camera. But as a hybrid photo/video shooter, it seems to be lacking compared to my R5II. In general it doesn't seem to have leapfrogged over it in any substantial way. GAS averted.
In my experience, the video quality is where the R5 II is nowhere near the A1.
The Sonys have way better sharpness and detail and flexibility with the log files.
Yes, the specs seem similar till you start looking at the video files where the Canon LOG files are soft and mushy and comparison. The Canon also has way more noise for video.
This is all my personal experience… Spec sheets are similar but the actual video files - Sony is way better. Also the Sony files take up about 1/4 of the space that the Canon files need for similar quality.
I think in terms of stills it’s pretty much a wash between these two cameras.
