A7 III surfaces

Anybody that buys a camera because of a spec sheet is an idiot. Anybody that buys a Sony because of a headline spec sheet is even more stupid.

Yes, but you are informed. Many, many consumers are not.

Well, one question is how many people who buy cameras are informed. Another question is how many people who are informed actually buy cameras. How often does this endless wrangling over specs actually lead to a purchase? Not so often is my guess.

You mean all those consumers who will be buying large screen 4K TVs (as probably 95% of those who might buy a camera in this price range likely would, if they are in the market for a new TV) are going to be cool with something that shoots poor 4K? (and probably soft HD to boot)

Keep believing that.

People who shoot home video will want to watch that video on their new TV sets, and soft HD looks pretty terrible on a 65" 4K panel in comparison with 4K. They will see the difference immediately and will want proper 4K.

These aren't the customers for the M50, which is a LOW END mirrorless camera.
