This is an Auto Focus Review and Comparison between the Nikon Z9, Sony a1 and Canon EOS R3. All cameras have been updated to their latest firmware and we're using ALL native mirrorless lenses. To keep this review as controlled as possible we set up the cameras as close together as possible and record the same subject running. Keep in mind this is just one situation and it would be impossible in the real world to repeat an auto focus test three times.

Now price, latency, ergonomics, durability, ease of use, color profile and lenses becomes more important determinant factor. I think nikon has positioned itself for a great future with the Z9. Kudos to nikon and Canon for catching up so soon regardless of the headstart sony had.

@earthlingtheaaron21 2 жыл бұрын

Biggest factor here is lens selection. Color profile doesn’t matter to anyone who knows Lightroom. Ergos are pretty much dead even with the A7riv style body but A1 takes it here because you can choose not to use the vertical grip which I often do. Ease of use doesn’t matter past week 2 with any of the cameras. Really at this point, I prefer Nikon’s lens quality over Canon. That’s why I have a Z5 to go along with my A1. That said, Sony’s E-mount prime selection is so great that I run I don’t even use a 70-200 for events. I use the Sigma DGDN 85 F1.4 and Sony 135 F1.8 instead and I get way better results using them. Neither Canon nor Nikon can offer me that.

Durability are the same, all 3 brands uses magnesium alloy with similar approach for assembling, they all use similar parts and weather sealing the difference there are really minor. Colours are utterly unimportant when shooting raw, and in jpeg it’s personal preferences just as ergonomic is. This leaves us left with lens selection basically.

Jared, thanks for doing this, you spent a lot of time on this and it is very much appreciated. I was curious to ask how the cameras did from 6.25 with the f2.8 lens as you run towards the camera (the part where the Nikon achieved eye af at a longer distance, wanted to compare the accuracy against the canon and Sony which did not pick up the eye early) - is there any chance of getting those result images of that run ? (I have seen the f1.2 lens results and the Nikon did not fair well there). If Not can you comment on the results of that run at (6.25-6.30) in the video. Much appreciated

I'm a Nikon fanperson, I've dealt with Z6's eye AF in action by using single point and I've got good results, not as easily as with an R5 or A1 or Z9 eye AF doe.

@skyhawk637 2 жыл бұрын

I'm also a Z6 shooter - for dynamic shots, I use Eye AF but also I have the Activate Subject Tracking function assigned to one of the two fingertip function buttons near the lens base. That lets me quickly activate it and then select a target to track if Eye AF starts missing. After a little practice, it's pretty much muscle memory - and the transition is really fast without my eye leaving the EVF. Overall I find subject tracking on the Z6 to be more reliable at tracking consistency, especially at a distance. Eye AF gives the best focus results as long as it is locked onto the correct subject, so if the subject's eyes are clearly visible, I can quickly deactivate subject tracking and resume Eye AF. Seems to work reasonably well.

i have none of these cameras from the sample videos, theyre all really good. the big difference is when you get out of frame and back. the canon r3 is doing alot of work either to find the face or an object, the sony is basically relaxed at a fixed distance when you get out of frame and hoping you pop back at the same distance and can get confused when you dont, and the nikon is inbetween both, occasionally it shifts to background in search of person, occasionally it hopes you pop back at the same distance. in summary theres pros of each, and all would work perfectly for anyone.

Fro, thanks for the video. Very informative!

I shoot with a Sony A7r III and Sony 24-70 GM and Tamron 70-180 - So lens focusing speed should not be the problem. With that said, I'd love to see a similar comparison with the new flagship cameras in such situation.

What's your focus area? A lot of shooters coming from a DSLR tend to narrow down the focus area, wich imo is wrong. Wide or Zone , with face detection and eye -af on will nail it, even on the A7R III, that has no tracking yet bit the less powerfull Locked on AF.

Great video and congrats to the team for putting the test together. I think this shows how lucky Pro's and Consumers are these days, this tech in all three brands is amazing. Would love to see similar tests for animals, birds vehicles etc but its so refreshing to see that the gap is no longer there. As a Nikon owner (wouldn't say fan person as I believe myself to be fairly objective) I think many of the Z strengths are mentioned as also rans rather than being given large enough reasons to consider the system BUT now that the AF they have is there hopefully these will be discussed further I thought the canon's implementation was super interesting and you can almost sense the AI working; the Sony's stickiness is still amazing without doubt but as you would expect from the oldest body/implementation of the 3 my layman's eyes thought it was slightly behind. I fully expect their next iteration to jump forwards again exactly as it should be For Nikon in 2022 the main aim for them has to be trickle down. You're right about the fleshed out line-ups of Sony & Canon - which, lets be honest, comes from their R&D budgets being so much bigger (80-100x bigger companies) meaning they have been able to throw more at it in a shorter space of time. Whatever Nikon announce this year whether that's a Z8 or just the refreshes of the 6/7 it has to be a certainty that they will have this processor and system inside. Then hopefully (even if Canon/Sony release newer camera that take them a bit further forwards) the prosumer line up will be showing the same results as this test. Happy days for anyone in the Nikon ecosystem already and happy days for anyone not in any system who wants many of Nikon's other qualities! Thanks for the great video!

You are the only creator I know doing those awesome side by side EVF recorded AF comparisons. I'm sure they are very valuable for people shopping at that price range. Could you do a similar video for us in the market for a DSLR replacement? Ideally with a workhorse lens like a 24-70 2.8. As a Nikon shooter, I have to replace my D750 soon. I would love to see side by side the OVF of a DSLR as reference (3d tracking d850?) and the EVFs (eye af / tracking) of the mirrorless options, namely (Z5, Z6, Z6II). Additionally I'd love to see those new and used entry level full frame options side by side: Nikons and canon eos Rp, R, R6 and sony a7c, a7i, a7ii, a7iii... I may be wrong, but I have the feeling that I'm not alone pondering on what to go for and not needing the latest best of the best with honors, Sir.

What about the quality of the file. Would you compare the three pertaining to the file including tonality color etc. here’s where I believe Nikon moves forward
