Watched the video and impressed by the AF. I'm eager to see where the AF of ML cameras will be in 2y from now.

OTOH the "busy" thingy when buffer is full is not a good thing. I understand that it is a 1500 usd camera but Sony did have the A77ii bursting at 12fps in 2012 (a 1200 usd camera with kit lens) facing the Nikon D500 and nobody liked the "busy" thinggy of the Sony. I still have my A77ii and I my mself dislike when it's locked in "busy" after a burst...

For us action shooters (shooting full RAW), it’ll be important to use a very fast card. My Sony G Series is waiting.

The more the time is passing and the morz manufacturers are delivering and the less I see myself going ML with Sony actually.

Sony has a powerful marketing machine at selling specsheets. That's what I understood since the first A7 and it has gone wilder and wilder by the release of new revisions.

I suspect R2 meant his Sony SF-G SD card, not a Sony camera. I also have an SF-G SD card waiting for the R8, the SF-G and SF-M series have been performing very well and reliably for me the past years.
