See I think that's hitting the nail on the head; if you come from a 100ms readout A7RIV or A7RV going to 15-20ms whatever the A7RVI is it will always be an improvement. You will always see improvements in terms of 'action' shots. So for people upgrading their R camera to the newest R camera that's a win. Upgrading from an A1 or A1II is not a win, but it wasn't supposed to be.
Yeah, and I think Sony was pretty truthful with their marketing and showing wildlife instead of very fast acton as a key selling point.
I think there is a sensible overlap of people that shot both landscape and wildlife (nature at large) and there is a lot of wildlife that doesn't require very fast capture rates. The a7r VI can do that in a pinch (30 fps and pre-capture) if an interesting opportunity arises but it is more for a rare occasion than the norm, I would say.
There is also the mechanical shutter if you can accept 10 fps and worry about rolling shutter ruining your shot.
It is a shame that this was hyped up to be an A1 II killer, but apparently someone only saw the 30 fps and pre-capture specs and maybe forgot to apply a good dose of critical thinking.
