Will we see the trend of other mid-sized bodies adopting higher power/capacity batteries?

Here is my guess about the impact of this camera on other brands. For those who use Sony sensors, it seems that a similar sensor will be available from Sony's sensor division with 67 MP and the same 16ms sensor scan speed. For Nikon, I expect them to use that sensor in the long awaited Z7 III. That will be a nice camera for Nikon shooters. It is less clear whether L mount cameras will be able to get that sensor from Sony, but I expect they will or will try to make a sensor that is at least fairly. competitive with it. Look for the same sensor or one that moves in that direction for the the Leica SL4.
For Canon, I expect that they will make something like an R5s that is a high resolution version of their non-stacked sensors to compete at higher resolution. They already have got the sensor scan speed up to 16ms on the original R5 at 45MP, so a higher resolution sensor that can keep that speed up ought to be possible. They can build with a higher pixel density as they have that in their APS-C cameras, so I think they can do a higher resolution camera pretty easily as well.
I suspect that Nikon has waited on the Z7 III, knowing that the A7r VI was likely to have a new sensor and wanting to get a similar sensor for their high resolution camera and Canon has waited for Sony to show their hand so that they can at least come close to matching the sensor in this camera is not surpass it in at least some ways.
