Quote:For Weddings and portraiture yes it does have the much needed 93% coverage AF points with face detection, however this is where you need a high performing flash system and here I dunno how good Sony is.
Already it lacks behind in x sync, does it have radio control and remote triggers? A flash system is much more than a camera hotshoe with a speedlight.
Uhhh... What do wedding photographers use now? 93% coverage of AF points, since they want their subject half out of the frame? Face detection?
And faster than 250th sec flash sync?
Weird stuff.

In my opinion a pretty strange photography club. And you are then not talking about wedding photographers, but lacking amateur photographers. Who need the camera to do their photography.
My camera's operator has face recognition built in

To me this is classic Sony:
Load or overload the product with features to built significant spec sheet (at least on first glance).
Then make sure the specs are presented in the way that it shows the advantage over the competition, which is pure Sony number vs. camera B number.
I don't think this is Sony "listens to their customers", this is Sony "wants to dominate".
