Verdict
Pick the Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro 12K if your priority is maximum resolution and high-end video capabilities in a cinema-focused body, despite the lack of stabilization. The Sony A1 stays the better choice if you need faster stills shooting, in-body stabilization, a lighter weight, or a hybrid photo-video workflow at a similar price.
