Yes, they definitely shook up the market, which is great.
I have an A72, and an EOS R and have tried almost all the modern cameras in the market. I enjoy using the canon one significantly more than the A72. The A73 is slightly better but not overwhelmingly so.
Sony cameras are still meh, they still overheat. They are relatively frustrating to use. Their autofocus tends to hunt in low light (great eye AF notwithstanding).
They win at video, almost overwhelmingly in specs. Unfortunately, I am into photography, not video.
