re: Sony pixel shift
Setting aside a botched implementation of focus bracketing which precludes pixel shift, Sony’s pixel shift with motion correction might well be a medium format slayer.
Field experience has to decide that point, and lighting changes concern me (over and above subject motion), but if it can handle moving water and swaying branches and leaves (it can), then it covers 90% of the problem conditions.
Below, moving water, without and with Sony motion correction. You get all the extra sharpness of pixel shift on the static stuff (rocks), and the water is A-OK.

Pixel Shift Multi Shooting responds to changing conditions
Pixel Shift Multi Shooting takes advantage of precision in-body image stabilization system control. Up to 16 pixel-shifted images are captured and later composited using a computer to achieve overwhelming resolution in a single image. Even tiny movements down to single-pixel level can be detected and compensated for by the PC software performing the compositing.
The latest versions of Imaging Edge Desktop™ Viewer and Edit applications are required for compositing. Image compositing may not be successful if camera or subject movement causes blur. The use of a tripod is recommended, as is the use of PC tethered control or a remote commander. Uncompressed RAW and silent mode are automatically selected for Pixel Shift Multi Shooting. Some restrictions apply to flash and other devices.
