Sony and Canon definitely see the market differently, as their offers seem to be quite different from one another. This Sony FX3 looks quite compelling for a lot of people, and we'll see whether people go with this camera or an A7S III in the coming months.
Wouldn't it be cool if Canon did an EOS R6c? One can dream.

I would have much preferred ND-filters over IBIS on a video camera though.
