Bought my first Nikon after being 8 years on Sony [impressions below]

I moved to a Zf to shoot for personal trips alongside my work A9ii’s. Once I saw how snappy that camera was in comparison (and the price difference) I jumped ship and sold my Sony gear. I’ve been working with the Z9’s for an over a year and absolutely love them.

Official Gear Purchasing and Troubleshooting Question Thread! Ask /r/photography anything you want to know! December 12, 2025

If fast action is a priority for you, the Sony a7 V or even an used Sony a9 would be a better option. If you don't need all the features of the a7 V, an used a9 would be the best value body.

Next purchase: more reach or full frame?

Is Sony Alpha ever going to release a fw update to overclock A7IV to 60 autofocus calculations per second at least? 20 seem like too little

"if this was true then both A9II and A1II would do 60 autofocus calculations per second only" your posts are wrong, for instance: "...[a1ii]with full AF/AE tracking is possible at 50.1 MP15 resolution, with up to 120 AF/AE calculations per second" https://www.sony.com/en-ae/electronics/interchangeab
