This is the part I strongly disagree with. The difference is keeper rate and expectations. With a modern higher end mirrorless like Sony a7v Nikon Z6III or something, even a beginner can get like a 40% keeper rate, and a moderately skilled amateur can get into like 70% rate. But if you're shooting a

Not including a Sony option in this is ridiculous. An A7V, A1II, or A9III all could be argued are top of the list. I would argue that the A9III honestly is capable of things for weddings that no other body even is. With a true global shutter and crazy sync speeds it can do things you simply can't ac

I'm definitely not as knowledgeable as many others in this sub for video, but to answer some of your questions: Shutter angle: Yes, Lumix offers this setting, I believe since the S1H at minimum. IBIS: it's not even close in video. In photography, I'd say there is at most a small gap, but video is no

Nikon Z6iii has 299 AF points. That’s like a 17x17 grid. It’s just not a lot of points to distinguish between eyeballs and eye lashes, depending on how large the eyeball is in the frame. It is what it is. FWIW, the Sony A7V has 759 AF points. That’s like a 27x27 grid. More, but still not a lot.

dann würde ich (weil du keinen preis benannt hast) einfach die sony a7V empfehlen + das sony 200-600mm (oder wenn du wirklich dick Asche hast dann das 400/2.8 oder 600/4 von sony)

Honestly the X-H2S is a great camera and in some ways has a better image/video specs than either Sony (open gate, 6K, ProRes or high data rate H265, great color). The biggest improvement you’ll notice is autofocus (Fuji AF is terrible) but the lenses are bigger and more expensive. If you do get a So

I would go with a stacked sensor for wildlife. Blackout free shooting is a game changer. I purchased the OM-1ii on the a7v release date as a Sony shooter for wildlife and have no regrets. For Nikon you either get the Z8, or nothing.

Which makes total sense given Sony has an explicitly dedicated line of video products now. The FX3 predated the A7IV by a few months but still at the time the FX/ZV line felt less established. They A7V brings their mid range photo camera up to near top specs for photo (Speed and AF near the A1II) an

The A7V looks extremely overpriced for anyone not already heavily entrenched in the Sony system. You can buy a used/refurb Z8 for a similar price (less, actually, if you go used), and from a feature/performance standpoint, the Z8 directly competes with the A1II which at the moment costs $3,500 USD m

For wildlife, the best (almost) no caveat systems would be OM System or Sony. Some of the most important features for me would be a stacked sensor with decent buffer, pre-capture, and blackout free shooting (which is essential for birds in flight). Canon freezes up when the buffer is full, Nikon lac
