What is your reasoning for the X-H2s over the A7IV, just curious?

Speed and buffer. A7r IV has 10 fps, but at 10 fps (Hi+) it's very laggy so I have to drop down to what I believe is 8 fps (Hi). I assume A7 IV is the same.

Also, A7r IV doesn't support CFExpress cards but UHS -II and fast UHS-II cards are very expensive, yet much slower than CFE.
A7 IV supports CFE but CFE-A, not CFE-B. A is also very expensive compared to B.

OK, makes sense, I think the 10fps on the A7IV can really rattle, 33mp too, there's also the excellent object tracking on it which is similar to the A1 in accuracy. Overall, image quality is very impressive, particularly ooc on the A7IV. I'm only using uhs-ii it seems excellent performance. There's a lot of unique lenses for Sony now, the Samyang 135 1.8 is similar performance to the Sony GM and very competitive pricing.

Unfortunately going to A7 IV from A7r IV would be a downgrade, and I'm already not happy with A7r IV performance in motorsport photography (besides image quality, but pretty much no one pixel peeps in motorsport).
The only relevant upgrade for motorsport photography would be A1, which is too expensive.
