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

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

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

I love the lenses; the simplicity of the menu system; the dials; that it is weather sealed; the size and weight. Everything about the camera is perfect IMHO. I sold my Ricoh GR iii, my Sony Alpha 1, and my Sony A7CR (and a boatload of lenses) because I found I was always reaching for my Leicas.

The D850 is too heavy for a neck strap regardless of lens IMO. A hefty cross body strap is my preference, or a bag with the same cross body setup if I’m going to want quick access, but you need a pretty large bag to hold the beast. Backpack for longer amounts of walking between photos (e.g. landscap

I have both a Sony and a Nikon Z camera. I am very much attached to both, and am therefore keeping them though it wasn’t the smartest move (economically speaking) for an enthusiast like me to invest in 2 different brands… (long story how I ended up there, but in short, I can relate to the feeling yo

Because Sony makes the A7CR. Why split the market on something that is already out there when you can focus on other things? Back in the day Canon came out with the 5D, then they came out with the 5D Mk II... it was consumer camera with high res full frame sensor (22MP was pretty huge at the time).

For people who buy this system, I think it comes down to lenses. I haven't shot them, but the APO lenses are highly praised although expensive as shit and large. If you don't have the sort of budget that extends to Leica's APO glass, personally I don't see any point getting the camera. I have bought

If you are not tracking anything it’s fine for single point. It’s not good at tracking. Pretty much any camera can single point on static subjects. It’s decently fast except for a couple of primes that are slow to focus but every system has those. If you want something similar to Sony the om3 has ex
