Quick answer, yes and no.
I am a very happy Sony shooter. I cam from over 20 years of Canon shooting the 1D family of cameras, and made the change a couple of years ago, accidentally. I bought a Sony a6xxx camera, and ended up liking it a lot more than I thought, and really liked the compact size of the kit. I started using metaboned and MC-11 Canon glass with it, and it worked great. Satisfied with that, I bought an A7rIII and became even more happy. I was sure I was done with Canon, particularly with their first generation attempts at mirrorless. but then came the R5... and I though maybe I'll go back to leverage all my EF glass. Sony had taken over the innovation king mantle, but Canon showed they were also back in the game.
Then came the A1, and it again is a game changer. 30 fps per second, 120 focus and exposure per second, All this at 50 mpx. Are you kidding me? Who needs to time shots any more. And variable e-shutter that will synch to a speed to eliminate or reduce LED flicker. Too cool.
And no, I will not be getting one. Why, it is so much more than I need. I actually hate that it renders the timing I have been working on for decades... moot. But the bigger reason is my Canon L glass will not render sharp enough to take advantage of the 50 mpx. To fully capitalize on this cameras skills, I would have to redo my lenses. And after paying the 6500 for the camera, I am not willing to spend another 20 grand on new glass. And at the end of the day, for the people I shoot for, the image differences will not make a difference to them. To me, yes, to them, not at all. They don't care that the ball is 6 inches away from the players fingers than 2 inches away. The ROI business wise isn't there. So my excitement is tempered.
On the other hand I am super excited for what this camera foretells for the future of the A7 line and a6xxx. Sony has been really good at moving its new tech through their other cameras. So for the next gen a7, this is pretty exciting.
I am glad to see Sony has not let up on the R&D gas pedal. Now... if we could get some computation photography involved... that would be super super cool.
