Nikon has been aggressive in giving photographers, and now videographers, the most bang for their buck in mirrorless. The Z-mount is semi-open, giving you the same budget options that Sony shooters get, and you can adapt E-mount lenses as well since there are more E-mount lenses floating around the

The best thing about the first photo is that I didn't touch the saturation on his head in post! Over the past few days this guy has taken over the feeder at my window, chasing a passing costas, a few other Anna's, and even an Allen's away successfully - he is quite an aggressive little fellow. Sony

A Sony A1ii isn’t really a “little camera.” There’s expensive rabbit hole to go down to get nice hummingbird pics.

How does improving something make the outgoing version bad? That doesn't make any sense. Every new camera ever released has improvements over the prior generation. No matter how good something is, it can always be improved. Every manufacturer says exactly the same thing when their new camera drops.

But still significantly more rolling shutter than the A1II which reads out 5x faster, or global shutter in the A9III which has no rolling shutter. The A7R was always usable for sports as long as you were fine with 10FPS with the mechanical shutter and the low buffer depth. The Nikon D4 from 2012 whi

Hey there! So these were taken on my A1 II with the Sony 200-600 G OSS and Sony 70-200 GM II. I know people like to think expensive cameras solve all the problems (seeing that daily working in a camera store), but that is really far from true. I’ve managed some amazing bird photos at Zealandia with

they are different tools, the z8 can shoot much faster, has some specific wildlife modes in its af and the faster sensor allows for better video. so for wildlife the z8 is better since that is what its designed for, the telephoto lenses on z mount is also a bonus. on the other hand the a7rV has a hi

Yes. The 70fps is 12 bit, accessible through speed priority. Image priority is 60 fps in 14 bit. My guess is people care a lot more about Sony because the a7 series has always had fairly slow e shutter capability. And that this 30fps puts it at the same speed as the A1/ii

I've had the Sony A1 since 2021 and the A1 II since launch and zero issues so far shooting in basically every scenario. Pretty easy to work with after getting it all dialed in.
