Exactly. His comment is non-nonsensical. In every major brands' loyal fan base there is a sub-layer of consumers who are obsessed with specifications. This is not just about Sony. This is probably more than true about SOME Nikon and Canon shooters who want to use their brand as a sign of self-validation.

How does a partial stacked sensor stack up against a fully stacked sensor? I shoot race cars and have to pan quickly often, as well as some sports.

Just go watch reviews of the Z6iii or the S1ii to get this answer.
The scan speed is...fine...on those cameras, but not great, and you still need to use mech shutter in demanding situations. For your use case, I'd not even consider a partially stacked camera...just get an A1 or A1ii and be done with it.
The question is, how much tech was Sony holding back for themselves? Are they going to bump up to 33mp with the same frame rates as the other two cameras and hit the same frame rates? Are they going to use a 24mp sensor and out-frame-rate the competition?
Thank you. Wonder if they went partial stack as to not overlap their segments of a9 and a1.
Sony shooters as a wide group seem more concerned about spec sheets than true image making. Partial stacking is a nice bullet point that allows Sony to charge $1000 more than their closest competition.
The truth is modern non-stacked and non-partial-stacked cameras still offer the vastly superior price to performance ratio, and if you need stacked, just get full stacked for the full benefits of the technology.
