Alpha 1 II

It depends on what you are going to be shooting. It is disappointing how many people show up to this discussion, though, and pretend that cropping doesn't exist or isn't useful. I shoot a Sony a7r4, which is 61 MP. Having all those MP has been a huge benefit to me on many occasions. - sometimes, my

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

If you're already in the Sony ecosystem, why not just get an A9 III? It's a global shutter and it will work with all of the glass you already use on the A1 and I'm assuming it has fantastic autofocus like the rest of Sony's stuff. It's expensive, but not really any more so than an A1 II or Komodo-X.

Speaking mainly from stills, and assuming it is true to video as well, for the longest time the green on Sony camera sensors has been a curse. Seems to be fixed with all the newest cameras, was 90% gone with the A7RV and now the images from the cameras from 2024-today are IMHO fantastic and the prob

Mostly larger pixels which means better low light performance. Not really. It's the sensor area that allows for better low light performance. A larger sensor has more area for photons to hit, which means it collects more light for each photograph. Assuming the same basic sensor tech across multiple

You need to define what you mean by "functionality" then. Sony's the A9 III does a few things better than Nikon's z8 / z9 flagships : global shutter capable of 120 pictures / second in burst mode at max resolution + flash sync up to 1/80000s better EVF with ~3x the resolution and twice the framerate

The A1ii autofocus is better and the precapture is a better experience on Sony. File sizes are much bigger obviously 51mp vs 20 mp raw. Given choice of two setups which cost about the same, A1ii and 400-800 or the OM1mk2 and 150-400, I choose to carry the latter setup if I am walking any distance. I

I'd say there are six options from the main three brands, in two categories: Brand-New mid-range pro cameras:Canon R6 IIISony a7VBoth of these have 33MP, fast burst, good video, the Sony has higher IQ, the Canon is faster, but they're very close cameras. Personally I'd go Sony every time because of

I used the A1 for 4 years, always with 35 GM. events, weddings, etc. It does most of the work for me. I merely frame, and does 4K with no issues. The A74, A7R4, A7R5, etc. all does the job. Just that for short videos, the readout on the A1/A1 II is so fast. very easy to edit files. For personal stuf

A1 II is an incredible camera and nobody is disputing that. It's the best AF system ever built and 50mp is not bad. But it doesn't solve the specific problems we're working around in other places. The core issue for me is SOOC color science. Sony's color rendering is accurate flushed out, flat, stra
