how many people actually use all the features of these do it all cameras This is largely an irrelevant question from the manufacturer's perspective. It's far cheaper to keep the number of hardware and software combinations low unless some specific feature significantly increases the production cost

Hard pass. If I wanted to blow $3.9K on a tech toy I didn't need, I'd rather get a sony A7v

The main feature of the A7V is that it has an E-mount. As someone occasionally playing with both Lumix and recently Nikon system it's REALLY hard for any camera feature to overcome my desire to use my Sony lenses. I really want Sony to become more adventurous again though. I'm perpetually confused h

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

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

Thank you for this info. Very helpful. If I was going to stay APS-C I would probably just keep my Sony a6700. It’s a great camera, just not full frame. The other option is the Sony a7 series which would save me money on batteries and flash since they are the same as the 6700. I believe the a7iv is s

You’re comparing entry level full frame Nikon with pro-sumer level Sony. If money isn’t an issue, I would be looking at the Z6iii. It’s a better comparison to an A7IV, and possible A7V, whenever that may be released. You could buy the Tamron 35-150 and the Nikon primes now and still use them on your

Just beware that of you buy the Sony camera in Japan, it would be region locked to Japanese only for language. A7IV is still worth it for sure given that the difference in price from A7V is worth not having the extra features, and if you don’t do too much video, arguably A7III is still a good option

Had both. Sold the XT5. It's not a case of one or the other. There's a case for owning both. I sold the XT5 to fund a Sony A7V. The XT5 only came out for specific tasks were a Sony FF would do a better job. Whereas the X100vi goes everywhere without need/worries of changing lenses
