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

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

Horrible lighting in venues

I shoot industrial bands in small clubs who typically don't like any light, but a lot of stage fog. I don't care about the ISO up to 16000, I use AI denoising for it (DxO works the best for me). Modern cameras are ISO invariant anyway with one step around ISO 640. The silent mode is an issue with LE
