The lens vignetting corrections can affect the raw files.

Yeah the 24-105 has pretty massive vignetting at 24mm - although it does seem to be more at the very extremes of the frame. I haven't found this to be a big issue because normally the extreme edges of the frame are not critical, but it is something to keep in mind. LR corrects most of it out, but I can see some circumstances where it might cause some issues, esp if you are underexposing the frame to capture a sunset for example.
Definitely switch off ALL in camera corrections, since they also seem to affect both jpeg and RAW on the Sony cameras.

If your going to keep the Sony, I would strongly recommend a grip or l-bracket.
It is kind of lame, but I also recommend this

I find the buttons for AF-on to be a bit too small for my fat thumb, so I used a bit of this to make the button a bit easier to use. This solution is also popular with the Fuji folks

Thanks NexLupus for the above link.
I am clear favor of Z6, excellent IQ - contrast and color. AF was consistently better on Z6.
Really now an easy choice for me to eliminate A7ii !

Thanks, I noted only after someone previously mentioned it; as Sony viewer automatically corrects it in software as soon as you download it to the computer.
I also had an automatic lens profile applied in Photoshop camera raw, and that one also takes care of it..... go figure.
For portrait shots and objects at F4 is not too obvious , but it will be for landscape shots, which I do a lot...
Thanks again all.

Tim:
How many in camera corrections does it perform? Where in the menu system do you find these. I have the A7RII - does it do the same thing?
Thx

I currently have an A7ii and i am considering A7r2, Z6, Fuji X-T3. I really like the way the Z6 handles, but i dont care for the lens selection currently. im pretty sure i am going to go with the cheaper and smaller a7r2. X-t3 is my favorite handling and i like the lenses, but i fear i'll miss full frame quality too much.
One thing I'm curious about though: Why do you "hate the adapter?"
I think the FTZ adapter is fantastic. Using my AF-S lenses with the Z7 is seamless and IMO the adapter doesn't really add much to the overall system bulk/weight. Seems like an odd position to take.
That said, no camera/system is for everyone, and I hope the Sony brings you the performance and results you're looking for. Good luck!

I have a sigma MC11 adapter for my sony. It makes the camera unbalanced and basically as heavy/large as a traditional DSLR. The whole point of going to a mirrorless is to reduce weight and size. Its a nice stepping stone for people until native lenses are introduced though.
I am sure the performance of the nikon adapter is better then the sigma i use so thats another gripe i have with my setup.

That's not true for me at all.
Maybe in the beginning as a marketing excercise for brands trying to differentiate themsemsleves from the market leaders, but that's not why I bought into it. And there is a limit to smallness that completely disinterests me. I need to be able to hold the camera all day and be as comfortable at hour 14 as I was at hour 1.

You only work a 14 hour day? Nice :-D
Still not sure if I should go mirrorless..
For the price of Z6+FTZ.. I can get the 105/1.4 instead.. - If I get the Z6, there's no money left for new lens other than may be the 50S (and my 2.8/1.8/1.4 F mount lens are all good-old AF-D.. I am going to retire them and replace them with S versions in time).
It's hard to rent the 105/1.4 on weekends..
- But my D800 is showing its age.. well below the Z6/D500/D850 framerate to capture sports actions, and iso6400 is pretty much the max you can push it ..
Really I don't care about size that much.. I am a big guy with big hands. I want silent shooting (school plays), faster framerate (and better tracking focus), and higher image quality offer by the new S lens..

If you're often renting it then I'd just buy it, you'll save enough money in the long run to buy the z6 too!

Weight & size is only one reason of many, and not the primary.

What he said. Plus, I love my ai-s primes on my D810 where I can see the aperture changed in the viewfinder... I can see nada on the Z6... hate it.

Well your a7riii does not even have a non-CPU menu to set IBIS FL or give you anything and I do use Ai and Ais lenses on Sony.
