Just come across the horrible banding when backlit
That's nonsense. The a7r2 let alone the mk3 does that.Read something interesting about the A9II this morning apparently the A7RIV is the same.
With the older bodies like the A9 when you are using just as an example a 24 f/1.4 at f/4 the camera will try and focus with the lens opened up to f/4, with the newer bodies they will open the aperture fully to focus when required and then close it back down to your desired setting to take the photo. Which is ideal for say the dance floor and low light scenes.

I was the one who kicked up a fuss when the r2 diddnt do that but now it does from the last firmware it had
Are you using compressed raw format?Just come across the horrible banding when backlit
Weird as the r2 had that issue and was fixed via firmware.I haven't checked it but I was reading about it this morning on a Facebook group where the members are all Sony professional users or Sony's own rep's and they all say that this absolutely the case. I have no reason to doubt that they know what they are talking about as some of them work for Sony.
I've been reading comments on the A9ii and it's beginning to make sense and looking like a decent upgrade with useful features for pro sports shooters and the like.
I know people here wanted a more radical upgrade but it is what it is and I can envisage the relatively small market this seems to be aimed at being reasonably happy with this new model.
I agree.
I don't know why they didn't put the newer spec EVF in the A9ii, but they needed to bring out a solid camera in time for people to buy it and have confidence with it before the Olympics - the A9ii is clearly targeted at sports photographers who liked the A9, but had a few niggles with it.
Sony will have further developments in the pipeline - there may be a 36Mp sensor that can perform to the level of the A9 / A9ii sensor - or they may have been aiming for a 24Mp Global shutter sensor - if Sony had either of those developed to a state where they could have put them in the A9ii they probably would have, but from a marketing perspective they want cameras at the Olympics, and they clearly believe the A9ii offers the best chance of that for them.

It wasn't, the Sony's have always behaved stupidly in this area and it's not helped because it varies by lens and setting. The R4 actually has a setting to control it too (doesn't the A9 too?). I certainly have it on the A73.
Taken the plunge and got an A9 with a couple of lenses (still hanging on to some Nikon kit for now though)......where the hell do you start??
I found a few bits on You tube, but wondered if anyone had any recommendations that they found really useful?
Thanks

That's not a bad video, good tips.
I think for starting/moving to Sony check out Mark Galer on Youtube, he has some excellent videos and free books:

I believe so
PDAF striping?
The Sony A6400 is currently on amazon for £795 body only- sold by amazon too.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07MWDK...16KTMM4R722L9&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it&th=1
That was a very good price as that would be very close to grey. Camera price buster says the current price is the lowest UK price ever but I guess they missed the other price.It was under £700 on Amazon about a week ago but only for a day.
I had sky tones in crude layers when shooting into the sun, and while it formed bands, it was not striping in the way PDAF generates stripes but just compression artifacts. I turned off comtression and while away I shot into the sun a few times and had no issues with artifacts. It may be the PDAF thing for you, rather than compression problems.
