Slightly off topic, but the Fuji GFX100s is on preorder at Adorama and B&H for $5,999. 102 MP with IBIS. This might be the game changer for that price point.
I am keeping my Z7 for this purpose.Your D850 also has focus bracketing, which the Sony a1 apparently doesn't have. However, after spending so much money on a Sony a1, it's a relatively small amount to spend on a third-party device to do the focus bracketing, albeit in a more clunky fashion than when it's built into the camera.
I assume a third-party device can be added to it to record GPS info.Another missing item that does not matter to me is GPS.
I don't think focus bracketing has been included in any Sony camera, so I doubt that they'll add it in a firmware update. I think, instead, they would make a bigger splash of their first focus-bracketing capability by announcing it as part of a release of a new camera.Focus bracketing might come with a firmware update if there is enough noise about it.
If I did portraits or weddings I would be all over this one.Fuji GFX100s is on preorder at Adorama and B&H for $5,999. 102 MP with IBIS.
I don't know - no interest myself.I assume a third-party device can be added to it to record GPS info.

Wildlife where I shoot at over 400mm minimum, not so much.
It is a great time to be a photographer- especially if you win the lottery

Interesting. I'm not familiar with the Sony line. Just beginning to look at them and focus bracketing/stacking isn't on my radar so haven't paid attention in reviewing specs. Funny how the different manufacturers include/emphasize different features. Particularly when many of the features only require coding and not hardware changes. Though I guess they must prioritize where they apply their resources including software writers/testers.I don't think focus bracketing has been included in any Sony camera, so I doubt that they'll add it in a firmware update.

Are you considering the Canon R5? Very close to the Sony - before the A1 ........you'd have to buy lenses either way. Apparently the AF eye tracking is of the R5 is on par with the Sony. Erognomically, I'd prefer a Canon.....if a competitive Nikon mirrorless doesn't show up in the next year.Interesting. I'm not familiar with the Sony line.

All that said it's about a 90 percent chance that my next body will be Sony. The ten percent uncertainty is perchance a lightly used D5 comes along before then.
It's probably a topic for another thread.Are you considering the Canon R5? Very close to the Sony - before the A1 ........you'd have to buy lenses either way.

I have the a9 2 and a7 r4 and my biggest decision will be which one to sell.Now looking forward to one day having the new Sony A1 with my beloved A7R IV acting as second camera/backup body......

EU does VAT but for consumer all prices must include it. So whatever price Sony advertises at includes all taxes.Don't forget the state tax on top of that in the US, or the VAT in the UK (and EU? Not sure about whether the EU does VAT, too?).....
I've always been in that demographic. The problem has always been my unsuccessful attempts to convince my wife that I'm in it.I was never in the demographic for a $7k camera body.
