Sony a1 is the last cry of a dying beast. Sony just cannot compete with Canon.

once canon release rf version of professional lens, Sony owner will dump their stuff in bulk. I think sell off your Sony stuff as soon as possible and buy Canon camera is the best way for you to avoid a potential huge financial loss.

That seems extreme.

The Alpha one looks great. The problem I see is its a $6500 camera in the body of a $2000 camera. I rank the build of the Z6 the same or better. The A1 has a better VF but lousy LCD. No top LCD either. No built in vertical grip.

And while some specs are above the R5 some are below.

If the A1 was $4500 I'd get one.  But it's $2000 more and I can get the GFX100S for $500 less and know I get better images.
