On socials you see many arguing that this camera falls short against the competition. But they miss the point. The Sony is strong and reliable where it matters while others stills struggle (see Canon R6III overheating issues).

PetaPixel reports this comment from a Reddit user:

“Minor upgrade? The hell camera are you comparing it to because it sure as hell ain’t the A7IV. The A7V is like 90% of an A1ii for half the price. Depending on your use case of course but as someone who shoots mostly faster subjects and is photo focused it is an incredible upgrade on all fronts,” the comment reads. “I don’t know how anyone can look at this camera and not see it as a massive upgrade. Okay maybe you shoot portraits and landscape then it’s not? But you were not looking for an upgrade anyway as for those genres the body matters a lot less.”

Yes, I also see this as great new camera from Sony!
