So people are having out of body experiences? Normally, in a mature adult, the ego with it's strong will to live prevents such "supernatural" experiences. This is more common among adolescents who are faced with stress in adapting to their new circumstances.
Could this be a trend in light of so many people dying from the pandemic? Are we trying to make sense of it by preparing and anticipating our own demise? Maybe it's a sign that we should be talking about our fears to a good bartender (scratch that), close friends, a therapist or online forums. The trick is to find one that can help.
Your spirit entity might be one who came of age in the 50's or 60's when a new Japanese firm was looking for a name to market it's products in the US. In 1950s Japan, "sonny boys" was a loan word in Japanese, which connoted smart and presentable young men. Sony was the preferred brand for baby boomers that facing persecution for listening to rock and roll music, left the house listening to their transistor radios. Maybe this entity just wants you to get out of the house to exercise using a device that it understands will help facilitate that. Being a brand that has traditionally been associated with quality, this answer provides stability in uncertain times.

Your spirit entity might be someone who has passed on and wants to feel useful. Just because someone died, does not mean they know anything. We're not talking about the Virgin Mary here. I'd look for a good clairvoyant healer that can purge your aura of these hangers on trying to control your life.
Given the unproven marriage of deep bit high speed recording with the compromises of an IBIS sensor mount, you have to ask can you afford it if it fails? This can be a source of fear.
To leverage it's features, you would probably have to spend $5,000 USD plus for a couple of Sony E mount lenses. This locks you into their ecosystem. Due to it's short focal length, you can't use those lenses on your next upgrade unless it's a Sony. Marry the lenses, date the camera.
Add another $599 or more for an external recorder from Atomos once they come up with the update for the Ninja V hdr that supports 12 bit Apple ProRes Raw up to DCI 4K24 or UHD 4K30. This is something that it should have been able to do internally. Both the FS7 and FX9 require a $2,000 and $2,500 extension unit, respectively, just to do be able to output RAW and have useable timecode. They are not likely to undercut that market. I wonder if it's because they don't want to pay royalties to whomever is writing the codec, like Apple with ProRes raw. Sony generally hasn't done that in the past. Until we see those 12 bit ProRes raw images, we won't be able to fairly compare this camera with it's competitors.
The response from Sony camera owners who are used to it's look has been mixed so far with the available 10 bit images.
Then there's the lack of SSD recording. You have to spend over 5x more on Cfast express cards.
I wanted an A7R II back in 2016 at $3,000 USD. It would now be worth $700 USD. That's a lot of depreciation in 4 years.
I'm more of a hobbyist, and can't spend money like that unless I can make money in the short run doing it.
