The A1 v Z7ii shootout will be interesting.
It is probably too early for this review to be delivered but I remember there were Canon models that looked mouthwatering just before the D3 was delivered.

The Sony really wins at present with all its AF options and great AF speed but the menus on Sony cameras are designed to drive you nuts!

Then of course there is the Z9 that is due later this year which is D3 sized!  I am not sure that I want a Z9 as it will be large and heavy and be Z mount.  What I would like is a D850-mirrorless.

Menus on the Sony A1 are much improved compared with the Sony A7iii. Quick and easy to find what you want with most regularly used items. Extra controls on top left of camera make it much more like Nikon D850 ie make changes to Focus and frame rates without the need to go into menus that may not be so easy to see in bright light. I now also have the x1.4 extender like Nikon it is -! stop but so far with the 200-600 no loss of contrast or sharpness. No regrets so far Sony is all I need and the results are very good.

I have just got their x1.4 Sony lens extender this is one of the first tests with the A1 and 200-600 lens with x1.4 is now 840mm this is hand held and only 25% of the full image 1/500 sec at F9 ISO 500. As I found with the Nikon x1.4 extender and long lenses no loss of quality and loss on I stop exposure.

Plenty of young starlings with us most of the day had to do a big cleanup with the birdbath just now they are not very well potty trained yet!

No doubt about it that the A1 is giving you some stunningly sharp images with fine sharpness.   What is the %age success rate of focus?
