A cursory comparison review of the Nikon Z9 and Sony A7M5 for bird photography
I’ve shot the Sony A1 and the Z9, both with 600mm f/4 native glass side by side. Both can miss focus when shooting birds in flight. Buy either system and learn it well and you wont be disappointed. Ignore the static on YouTube and forums, it’s all agenda driven. You don’t see professionals complaini

Mirrorless
The more significant difference is gonna be a stacked electronic shutter vs unstacked, where it can replace a mechanical shutter entirely. So that's your z8/z9, a1/a9, R3/R1. E-shutters like on the 850 and lower priced cameras will show distortions with fast moving objects like bats, golf clubs, pla

Worth Switching from Sony to Nikon Z for Wildlife? (Z8 + Adapted Older Primes vs PF Lenses?)
I shoot primarily birds/wildlife and I have used all of Sony's modern bodies a lot in the field. I do some instruction and I have a good relationship with my LCS so I end up spending a lot of time behind a wide variety of gear in real world scenarios. If you can afford the switch to Nikon, it is a n

Can you see another brand releasing a camera that would breakSony’s stranglehold?
I think this applies more to the videographer / prosumer market. (I work for a large camera retail chain in EU) For single video shooters, yes Sony is super popular for good reasons (autofocus, low light, S-Log3 10-bit and good 4K slomo) In the film and commercial world and rentals it’s Arri, Red an

Back to DSLR
I’ve just spent 2 years with a full Sony setup, A1, a9II and all G-MASTER glass. I’m going back to my D750 and D810. For me the whole mirrorless system felt artificial.

Mirrorless or DSLR? Newbie!
Mirrorless isn't a trend. It's the current standard. It's not going to go away unless a better form factor comes along. The DSLR is dead. Nobody's developing the platform anymore, and I'm fairly sure the very last brand new DSLR to hit the market was something like 5 years ago (by which time most of

Nikon for natural color science, canon for great skin color, lumix for video. Now coming to sony, sinc

Looking for phone with better camera quality
sony xperia 1 vii, then spend the remaining on a sony a1 ii and a few lenses, personal recommendations are 28-70mm f2.8, 70-200mm f2.8, and 100-400mm GM. u'll probably have some money left afterwards, spend that on a prime lens or maybe a second body, probably something like the a7c ii or a7c r when
