Nikon has been aggressive in giving photographers, and now videographers, the most bang for their buck in mirrorless. The Z-mount is semi-open, giving you the same budget options that Sony shooters get, and you can adapt E-mount lenses as well since there are more E-mount lenses floating around the

similar resolution sensor It's the same sensor. Some people value compact size a lot and the Sony rx1 series cameras are absolutely tiny. For a fixed lens camera the Q series are pretty big. You can build a smaller kit if you buy a sony A7CR and use a small prime (again, same sensor). I'm also guess

$2700 to build a fake micro 4/3 Leica that's the size of a full frame camera. While impressive it's also impressively pointless. It would make so much more sense to just go buy a Sony A7CR for almost the same price.

I had m10r, and then upgraded to m11m. call me crazy, but I liked bw output and high iso from m10r much more. I had some short experience with sony a7cr, and files from m11m looked somewhat similar, the same harsh iso noise. Now I’m in the process of going back to m10r. I really liked better battery

I had the A7Cii and now have the A7CR. I moved over from Nikon Z6 for the autofocus and resolution. I tried the ZF first and didn’t like the ergonomics. The Sony is not as infallible on autofocus as the hype would have you believe but the compact size is great. I miss the Nikon’s feel in the hand an

If it was $3k I would understand it but at $5k it makes no sense just get the Fuji or pay a little more and get a Leica. If you really want a Sony just get the A7CR and a 35 1.8 for $1300 less.

Yep. I upgraded this past year from a Canon 70D to a Sony A7Cr, which is not even a dedicated action/sports body and it has such an insane leap in autofocus performance compared to my old camera.

I traded my a7cr + lenses to get into MF with an x2d2. Looking at your lenses, what you might miss is the long lens choices. And possibly the size. Carrying around an X2D with 35-100 is a lot bigger package than the Sony with a 24-70. The longest current lens is 135, similar size to the 35-100, but

Haaa. FWIW I AF my M lenses on Sony and Nikon with the techart adapters. Works better with some lenses than others but it’s generally great. Nocti 35mm / A7CR combo works so well I let my Q343 go last week.
