By the look of it I don’t think Sony has a lot to worry about. At least it is good that Canon has come up with a mirror less body and some lenses.

It claims world’s fastest auto focus and that DIGIC 8 processor “enhances” IS in conjunction with certain lenses.

5 fps in AI Servo doesn't cut it for me.

Well there are a few areas where this exceeds the latest Sony offerings but for the most part you are right:
-6 Ev AF is way better than Sony  
-Way more AF points than Sony using their very good dual pixel AF system
-23mm Eyepoint is way better than Sony if you wear glasses
-fully articulating screen
- Menu system is 10 million times better ;)

Since Canon is saying nothing about the tech in the sensor as far as I can see, one has to assume this is just the old 5D Mk IV sensor which is a good sensor for Canon standards but mediocre at best against the competition. Like Nikon, it boggles my mind that in 2018, when faced with the chance to design a completely new system from the ground up, they opt for a single card slot.  And Canon is essentially alone in not supporting sensor based image stabilization...

I believe that's just video stabilization.
 As for AF system speed, find me a mirrorless camera where the manufacturer does not make that claim :D

I read somewhere that it uses indeed the 5D MIV sensor but can’t recall where I read it!

One thing I just realized is that Canon is now juggling 4 different mounts: EF, EF-S, EF-M, and EF-R...

DPReview first impressions video - they basically call it a mirrorless 6D Mk II with the 5D Mk IV sensor...

On page 32 and 33 (section 13.1) of the white paper, it explains more about IS.

Here's a direct link that works for the white paper:

Lots of detailed information including MTF curves on the lenses in here.

On page 32 section 12.3 of the white paper, the drop-in filter mount sounds interesting.
