The problem is other brands early mirrorless didn't suck This is just not true. First two FF Sony Alpha gens (A7 and A7 II) were issue-ridden, with lackluster color science, abysmal battery life, and mediocre AF. The first really good Sony mirrorless body was the A7 III. Canon RP was a piece of junk

I'm a professional and owned both. The image quality is near identical... They produce incredibly similar files. The D850 is a much more agile, and responsive camera though. It has way better AF and a faster drive. That comes with a huge weight penalty though. The Z7 is probably in the discussion fo

Seeing is believing. Take a look at it at various ISOs against other cameras. https://www.dpreview.com/reviews/image-comparison?attr18=lowlight&attr13_0=nikon_z6ii&attr13_1=nikon_z8&attr13_2=nikon_z7ii&attr13_3=sony_a7iv&attr15_0=raw&attr15_1=raw&attr15_2=raw&attr15_3=raw&attr16_0=25600&attr16_1=25600&attr16_2=25

That's the thing with the Z8, it's a chonker. Smaller than a Z9, but still. Nikon really should do a Z7iii. Add the newer autofocus electronics into the Z7 body - It would NOT compete with the shutterless Z8/9. I would buy that camera.

The viewfinder and rear LCD perform the same. So when you need to shoot at some weird angle off the back screen, you aren't giving up AF performance. The viewfinder is a screen, so it can show more stuff. It can preview exposure, show a histogram, focus peaking, etc. But with a DSLR, you can look th

Fuji autofocus is the worst of the mainstream companies. Fuji weather sealing is unreliable. I didn't find the 40mp on the X-T5 anywhere near as croppable as my Nikon Z7 (45mp). I'm not sure if that's the Xtrans, the file processing, or what. It just didn't retain detail as much as it should have. P

If you are thinking about going with the Z6II or Z7II I would recommend looking at the Z6 and Z7 too. The used prices of these are ridiculuous and nikon didn't really improve the af going to second generation significantly. That makes the Z6, Z7 a very good deal if you can live with one memory card.

It depends what you’re used to. My previous cameras have been mainly Nikon - D70, D2x, D3, D3x, D800, then Z7 and Z8. Next to these the Fujifilm X100 series are slow and flimsy with very iffy focussing (although the vi is a big improvement over the T) And obviously the first thing I did was go throu

A D780 is, for all intents and purposes, a DSLR Z6. They have the same sensor, the D780 has much better on-sensor AF for live view (comparable to z6 AF) plus a bunch of other features that mirrorless cameras tend to get. Z mount glass is "the future" I suppose, and is objectively better than F mount

To be honest about sony a6700. I used same settings as influencers over there which was praising on instagram and still it wasnt accurate as i expected to be. I thought that from slowest af (nikon z5) to (faster af than sony a7iv and sony a7rv) would be incredible difference but no. I wanna try z7 i
