Yeah me too, the Sony took my heart 😅

Yes me too, wait for Nikon to bring out the Z8

Apple and orange comparison

both ways?

Obama said it was okay to go both ways lmao 😂

Me too , i always love the scientific way Jarod does these tests , positively BLOWS me away 📸.

I'm experiencing such a whirlwind of emotions about this.

Foreal

Ha.. I get what you did there.

nice!

hahaha..

Tom J underrated comment

You have lens options.... But no one should expect native preformance AF with the adapter. Just managing expectations.

Yes and yet people complain when a camera starts to degrade at 6400! Rediculous

n rocha you know times change and they charge their products so we at least want some improvement

Does it's give a photographer what he needs. I'm thinking about getting it as well

Unfortunate misconception. Unless you're talking 25,600+ ISO the sensor resolution doesn't really make a difference. There's more noise per pixel on a higher res sensor, but because it has more pixels and is recording more information you end up with about the same amount of total noise in your image.

@@TechnoBabble more MP will produce more noise, how do youean the same amount of noise

This is just my opinion, but I hope the back screen on mirrorless cameras is like an appendix on humans: an artifact of evolution. Yes, the newbies coming to mirrorless from smart phones will want to chimp each shot, but the EVF is the way of the future IMHO. Hopefully, the next wave of technology will offer a modular EVF, on multiple screens. On Sony, hopefully using the higher-bandwidth WiFi being tested on the new A9II.

@@stuartschaffner9744 view finder is good , not always that user friendly though if you have a big snoz and 60 year old eyes. if they made evf a tad bigger and set back from the body a bit more with a bigger eye cup , that would be a nice improvement imo.

To the point where you cannot change from eye focus to another point. It is not true. On Z7 you can change the focus wherever you want by pressing the ok button. A square appears with triangles around it; you can bring it to anything or any person you want to fix focus to. And press ok again. If it moves it autofocuses to the target you choose. I don't have Sony. I don't know how it goes.

@@Hilmiapak, To press "OK-button" is very fiddly. Nikon NEEDS to change this to be more ergonomic. I own a Z6 by the way.

@@mikldude9376 , good points. I continue to hope that there will soon be a real evolution in EVFs once people get used to them more. EVFs have at least three big advantages over OVFs. First, of course, an EVF gives you a multimedia display not only of the scene you are composing but also the status of the camera controls. Since this fusion of data is controlled by a rather powerful computer, it can be customized by the photographer to fit their workflow. I do a lot of wildlife photography. I set exposure almost always manually, using the histogram display plus my thumb on an adjustment wheel. Many photographers use autoexposure of some kind, so the histogram would simply be a big distraction. One menu setting can add or remove the histogram. Second, the EVF can be as bright as you want and the EVF's housing shields your eye from bright sunlight. That housing also shields that bright glow from your surroundings so your subject is not distracted. Finally, camera designers have not yet begun to use the fact that an EVF doesn't have to be closely tied to the optical axis of the lens. A high-speed data cable is a lot cheaper and more flexible than fiber optics, and high-speed wifi (being tried for other reasons on the A9ii) is even more flexible. I hope that EVFs of the future will be modular and customizable for your particular workflow. As for your 60-year old eyes, my 75-year old eyes are very happy about EVFs. My right eye even has a cataract that is overdue for removal. It likes the fact that you can adjust the brightness. For dim-light photography you can also, on the Sony, toggle the "Setting Effect" menu item to go between a view that shows you what your exposure will be and a view that is always evenly lit. (In the latter, you lose the histogram, sadly.)

he've used so many Sony's and Nikon's to tell without testing which will perform better

wait, what? is that even illegal? XD

it's going to be a firmware update, eye AF is a machine learning eye detection algorithm, they need to train their neural network better. there is no need to change the hardware.

Not exactly. That’s way too complicated.

Jared Polin I set mine up and every time I shoot the full raws file go to my iPhone with setting anything up again.

I am not sure but after shooter for not to long. I found them on my phone. I would try it. Either way it’s a way to backup your files while shooting

Converted to infrared for astro photography? How did you do that?

Strange, I've held mine at several events now, for at least 7 hrs at a time and the grip has been good in my hands. I've heard of people having similar complaints when I had my D750. I guess not every camera will fit everyones hand well

Honestly if you’re new to camera’s save your money and get a used DSLR camera body and then invest in good lenses. I got my D5100 for like $50 on eBay and then spent the money on good lenses, it worked great to start with and I’ve shot with it for 6 years and counting, it’s still a camera I take with me everywhere.

Karl Nacreon I just make the same decision but with sony. Got the a7III new for 1370€. Best time to buy one of those full frame. Have fun 😄

The S lenses are outrageous expensive. $600 for a 50mm! Sony's 50m is $250. Sony 85mm is $600! Nikons 85mm is $800!. I haven't jumped ship, but I'm aiming Sony, at the end of the day it's about the lens and picture.

It's records the eyepiece so he can show you when he is seeing through the camera.

The adaptor idea for using all my glass from my Nikon DSLR’s annoys me. It’s not a direct upgrade...you’re still having to start over. New glass, batteries, chargers, memory cards, etc. Either choice is like starting from scratch. For that reason, it was a great time to change platforms and try Sony since they seem to be ahead of the rest in terms of tech

If you shoot video, you might not be too happy with those af-s F mount lenses on the Z7.

ya it is

If video is your primary goal then the Z6 is the way to go. All Z-lenses are extremly silent and have minimal focus breathing but keep in mind if you need manual focus, the Z cameras do not support linear focus. However this might get fixed in the next firmware update.

Marcus Brown No. But it will speed up how long you wait after a burst to continue shooting.

yes.

Yeahatnet no

S1r is sadly a contrast detect only camera

24Steevy who cares? It is good enough in video and in stills contrast detect was always great

You should lookup Jim kassons tests on these bodies. the Sony A7RIV beats the Nikon Z7 at high ISOs , and in addition the A7RIV has a higher sensitivity at ISO 100...meaning it's closer to ISO 75...it also has a touch higher dynamic range at those lower ISOs ..around 2/3rd of a stop sensitivity advantage over the z7

Julian Selman it does. You are correct

Hes talking about native iso, 50 is extended

Base ISO is 100 on the Sony, if you set the ISO lower than that you lose dynamic range.

Dimitri Baer I had jumped from Nikon early 2016, as seeing the shots in the viewfinder, seeing adjustments live as you are changing them, better AF options, already convinced me to switch. If the Z7 had come out 3-4 years earlier I’d of tried it first as I had all the Nikon glass. As it turns out I’m so far still happier as I’m convinced the Sony glass seems to be the best of all in my opinion.

I see you made the switch to Sony in the end 😁
