if you're using a full frame camera, unless you're using one of the higher resolution bodies (z7, z7ii, z8, z9), then i feel it wouldn't make sense to use the dx lens, mainly cos it turns your camera into a 10-12 MP camera (not that it's unusable, but it's quite the crop). Also, I wouldn't necessari

I had much the same experience with the A7iv, I'm happier with my Z5ii and the output from it even though the A7iv was thoroughly competent. The resolution has nothing to do with it, it's all in the lens design (which is pretty wildly different between some of the lenses in the system) and the colou

If you want to mainly do wildlife, Id go for the Z50ii instead of the Z7. The Z7 is a first gen, high-res Z thats more suitable for landscape or portrait, and its tracking autofocus lacks behind even last gen DSLRs like the D500. The Z50ii has precapture, EXPEED7 AF with dedicated birding modes, and

I switched from Gx7 (very similar to EM5) to Z6iii a year ago after some years of inactivity as well I do birds and I can tell you low light performance is massively better, they call it low lights but it’s just cloudy day performance I did buy a big gear cause I don’t mind it now but it’s not reall

Yes exactly i wanna maybe crop from time to time but i wanna do as much as possible to do right composition at place. I said "professional" becouse tony trump said this is more entry level camera... and i found out that 26mpx on sony a6700 which i had was not enough. When I look at specs of nikon z7

Arguably the stepping up and still having sufficient resolution is possible also on Canon (R5 lines) and Nikon (Z7, z8, and Z9 lines) as with Sony (A7R and A1 lines). I agree Sony has a better APS-C lineup as that's the product of Sony's original commitment to APS-C all the way back to NEX camera. E
