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

Fwiw, I have the Z7 II and the Z8. I don't notice the difference really in real world. And when you use the DPReview DR tool and adjust for 6 stops of recovery, the Z8 images look just fine against the A7V, Z7 II and A7R V. https://www.dpreview.com/reviews/image-comparison/fullscreen?attr144_0=nikon_z

I have both and I now use the a7v more. It’s the perfect hybrid camera, I think. Made a little vid talking about the various Sony cameras I have. Let me know if you have any questions. Happy to help. sony a7iv vs a7v vs a7cii vs fx3 https://youtu.be/oxD2bGmmfCk

If you think that's lethal, then I think you would be incredibly blown away by an actual photo (or even a more standard hybrid) Sony camera. The FX3 works but is clunky from an ergonomics perspective and 12MP is suitable for social but no ability to crop/reframe in post is tough. You should rent an

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

Die Hasselblad ist komplett ungeeignet wenn man kaum Erfahrung hat, auch für viele Leute die Professionell arbeiten ist diese Kamera nichts da sie riesen Daten erzeugt und auch extrem teuer im Unterhalt ist was Objektive angeht.Die Leica ist halt ne Leica, kostet viel und hat einen gewissen Prestige

Sony A7IV is 4 years old. Nikon Z5ii is less than a year old. That’s a big factor. For example, do you really want 4 year old displays and IBIS units? Sony A7V doesn’t exist (although it’s obviously coming eventually). But it will definitely cost way more than a Z5ii, which is one of the best bargai

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

Totally understand! Check out the Sony A7V or the OM1 mark II if you want a birding camera! Significantly cheaper than mine but still absolutely outstanding cameras! The OM1 is a great option that’s smaller, lighter, less expensive, but still extremely capable. The Sony A7V is almost as good as mine

My Z5ii has 11.1 stops of DR at ISO100 compared to the much more expensive A7V's 11.7, less than 2/3 stop difference at over 11 stops, that is just not significant in the vast majority of situations, and it's kind of laughable to think that a TikTok hate trend has anything to do with such nerdy minu
