Like I mentioned previously, i personally will not get another sport orientated camera without a stacked sensor, to me this is more important than few more frames per second or 1/3 stop extra DR, or few more MP EVF .... and things like that.

Canon appears to be overcoming the rolling shutter issues with faster readout speeds on the sensor itself. Stacking it is a quick fix, but costly. The R6mk2 apparently has very little rolling shutter because the new sensor readout is lightning fast.

I think 'lightning fast' is a bit of an overstatement. It's definitely slower than the stacked sensor in the X-H2s for example.

Agree.

Well, if we're talking about a 'high end' APS-C body aimed at wildlife, I think the problem is that the pixel density has to be better than FF or there's no point - just use an R3/R5 in crop mode. 26MP might be sufficient, but I suspect 20MP isn't (I believe the R5 is 18MP in crop mode)

Exactly !!! anyone satisfied with the 20MP APS-C would be already well served by any of those 45MP FF already, so no point for those Z9, R5, A1 user to get another new camera to get result you can already get with their existing camera, as owner of Z9, I will only buy the high end APS-C if it has more than 30+ MP , with stacked sensor and no rolling effect, in a body not any small than the R5 and Z7 II, so the selling point for such high end APS-C is for both existing APS-C upgrader , as well as some current FF users.
