Re: Do you feel Sony is falling behind on the low to mid range FF market?
My understanding is the Canon R5 does not have precapture. It's the R5II, which uses a stacked sensor that has precapture and is priced around 4k.
My gut is that the a7 / a7r lines are most likely to either stick with a conventional sensor or possibly a partially stacked sensor for their next generation. I don't see a stacked sensor in a camera much under 4k, so the a7 line is probably out on price. Stacked sensors hurt IQ at low ISOs a bit, so I doubt the a7r line will go with stacked sensor. Maybe a7s line could get the 24mp stacked sensor from the a9/a9ii, but I doubt it will come in under 4k.
