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

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.

The set is a mix of shots from the Sony A7IV and A7V, mostly using the 35mm 1.4 lens. The first shot was actually the last one I took on my new A7V the shutter gave out right after that. Luckily, it’s under warranty!

i'm a sony user and also really don't understand all the hype around the a7v. In my opinion it's overpriced for what you get and what the competition is offering. But sony fanboys will tear you up if you write something about the a7v not being the best camera there is in this price range

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

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

I have 2 Sony A7IV s I don’t see any feature that will make me want to get an A7V. If I want to upgrade for video I’ll go with the FX3 If I want better AF for action, I’ll get the A9III If I want more pixels, A7RV

Every time someone blamed Adobe for delayed A7V compressed RAW support I did the voice of reason, how we don't know what exactly Sony did brand new this time, how it could take time for two companies to sync about new algorithms etc., and that the Lossless RAW was supported at least in beta in a man
