The A1 seems pretty meh for being brandnew and at such a price.
Remember the R5 wiped the floor with the a7R4 series and that's its only competition.
The >5000 EUR cameras from Nikon and Canon will appear this year. Z1 and R1 will be the direct competition.
Image quality: No reason to assume its even better than R5.
AF: Eye AF maybe on par. Maybe.
Speed: Same speed with raw images. Zero improvement.
Image stabilization: Likely to still be industry last
Video quality: unsure if on par with R5 or worse.
Ergonomics: well, its Sony, the industry trailing manufacturer.
I'd say the Sony kills itself by the combination of price and underwhleming feature-set.
In 2019 yes, it would have been a big story. In 2021? Not.
But the Sony fans will love it anyways.
