JK: Focus works well 90% of the time as with any system errors are down more to the photographer. These Sony have made huge progress with this camera it is hard to fault it. I tested a quick burst with 30 frames a sec hardly any noise and 47 frames hardly touched the buffer all pixs were sharp of a moving subject.

Well here is the review that I was asking for!
Not my favourite reviewers but they seem to have made some good tests and comparisons.

The DPReview team do it as well, but not the Sony A1, instead the Panasonic S1R.

Ian too early to say I have only tried in the garden with the starlings on flutter butter. I need to learn how to use the tracking detection mode then give it a go with some local seagulls. So far can not fault the auto focus. Camera noise at medium to ISO 4000 is about the same as Nikon D850. Yesterday Owl shoot was first big shoot with it 270 shots in 2 hours and no problems apart from battery ran out just before the end and viewfinder went black! All OK with new battery.

I haven't had a lot of opportunity to do anything on birds in flight apart from seagulls over the garden....




This is the Sony A7 iii (not the A1) and the zone tracking is very good.
It focuses fast and locks on the subject...as good if not better than the Nikon 500 imho.
The only issue I had was when the subject moved below tree line and the zone tracking focus jumped to the trees.
Like Nikon there is a feature to delay focus shift but I haven't yet explored how this can be best set to avoid this.
