Alpha 7R VI

It’s all quality of life improvements at the end of the day. I would assume all of us here are trying to tell a good story. You can tell an amazing story with a camera that came out five or even 10 years ago. The FX5’s image doesn’t automatically tell a better story. The RAW recording doesn’t automa

They do fine. Much better than medium format film, as good as average mirrorless cameras today. Just keep in mind you don't have many f/1.8 lenses on medium format. A 100-200mm lens is f/5.6 a 70-200mm on full frame (which has longer reach) can be f/2.8 That's the difference from being at 12800 ISO

But still significantly more rolling shutter than the A1II which reads out 5x faster, or global shutter in the A9III which has no rolling shutter. The A7R was always usable for sports as long as you were fine with 10FPS with the mechanical shutter and the low buffer depth. The Nikon D4 from 2012 whi

Sony a7rVI with the 200-600mm is fantastic.

I made the switch from an X-T5 and S-X20 to Nikon. I currently use a Z6 III (video), Z8 (landscape, portrait, birds & wildlife), and Zf (scratch the retro itch). Based on what you've outlined, here are some notes: Small and light is not Nikon's thing. Nikon is the brand for "I really want the look a

Fwiw the X2D is kind of a specialised tool, I think the fact that you’re forced to use the ginormous and expensive 35-100 just for AF-C is a symptom of that. Don’t get me wrong I also use a camera that’s far too big (GFX 100 with a 45-100), but over the years I’ve come to think that while the 100mp

Not really. It's down to pixel density. On a 24mp sensor, you can easily use f/14 - f/16 on a sharp lens. There are many lenses that'll stay sharp down to f/11, even on a Z8. If you're using a Fuji 40 megapixel APS-C sensor or a Sony A7Rvi with it's 68 megapixels, then diffraction will likely start

I use sony all the time, but Sony still suffers from system lock while buffer is clearing. for example you are taking bursts of photos of an action, and decide to record movie. Well you can't do it until the buffer clears. Granted that the buffer may clear in a couple of seconds, but the action will

Still no love for the Sony high compression file formats of the a7V and a7rVI

It’s faster than a7rv which was insanely slow…But not exactly fast. I doubt any pro sport shooter will use this when other options exist. https://m.dpreview.com/articles/0909713709/no-the-sony-a7r-vi-isn-t-a-cut-price-a1-ii
