    I'll agree that the Z7ii may not be the best choice of the 3, but no check mark for being $1000 cheaper (you're commentary says there's no point in saving "a couple hundred bucks" but it's a lot more than that)? BTW, I've had no problem using the Z7ii for shooting horse shows.

      Price should factor in. A difference of $1,000 to 1,200 is significant and considering the overall system cost should be part of the discussion too. Since Nikon doesn't currently offer a camera in the $3,500 to $3,700 price range of the R5 or A7RV, I'm wondering why it's even in here. Putting it in a comparison against a Canon R6ii and a Sony A7Riii would make more sense from a price and feature perspective. This is also why so many people are hoping for a Z8 to come out with hopefully improved AF that would square better in that range.

      If you've got the money for one of these bodies, obtaining first party glass shouldn't be far behind. So, I would argue that the third party lens argument would be more suitable for a comparison between the R6 II, A7 IV, and Z6 II. Otherwise, you should be trying to put first party glass on their higher-tier cameras.

One of my friends is a Sony ambassador, so the hype around the A1 was definitely being heard by me at the time it dropped. I took a mini gamble on the R5 as it still had overheating issues when I bought it, but nowadays it does everything I ask of it. I shot some 4k and 8k footage in the last year as I started getting small video requests from clients and the video has turned out great so I'm more than happy with my choice!

    - I'd take the Nikon for my type of shooting, landscapes/architecture/travel: ISO 64, waaaay cheaper than those other two cameras, not paying for features I don't need, lighter weight, shutter speeds over 30 seconds (Sony just added it though), and they have the 14-30 and 24-200 lenses which are well reviewed/light weight/and you can get away with carrying only two lenses. The only thing that stops me from jumping over to Nikon is that I'm waiting for a fully articulating screen.

It's incredibly how well this camera has held up over 2 1/2 years and beats the A7RV in most ways except for resolution - not that there is any real world diff - (including dynamic range, ISO noise and sensor readout speed despite not being a BSI sensor).

    It's worth mentioning that Nikon has official support from Viltrox and Voigtländer, so not just Tamron who recently announced their first official lens. While Viltrox might not be as sexy as Sigma, but still it's officially supported. Plus, since the Z mount can adapt E-mount lenses, I would put it at the top for adaptability, it's a shocker that this was not taken into consideration. As for glass, I also personally agree that I like the RF glass better, not because Nikon glass is worse, far from it. Z glass is known for its very good quality; however, with a few exceptions, Nikon has a very weird obsession and fixation on super telephoto (400mm up) and standard zoom (20 something mm to something) with a lot of overlaps. Moreover, the lenses are replicating what was in the F mount with very limited experimentation, while Canon is going ballsy with the 28-70mm f2.0, the 5mm Fisheye f2.8, and a much more useful zoom range of 15mm-35mm f2.8 than Nikon's extremely limited 14mm-24mm f2.8 wide zoom. And while I don't use AF or AF tracking being mostly a landscape/cityscape shooter, a few days ago I was on a small vacation in the mountains and I saw some goats that I was trying to shoot while they were running about and... The AF mostly failed to track and focus, and in some instances even gave me a false green focus confirmation box when the results were, in fact, back-focused... It was bad, and now I know why using the current Z lineup (excluding the Z9) can be a hair-pulling and frustrating experience. I haven't tried the other two cameras in this head-to-head comparison, but I know for a fact that the results I got from the Z7II couldn't be worse in the situation I was in. While this last trip helped me bond much more with my Z7II, the disappointment with the AF (my hit rate was about 40%-50%) made me realize how non-competitive the system is and how desperately it needs an update. I couldn't feel but that my products was lacking something and performed below my expectations even when I already set the bar very low... I mean, goats for heaven's sake!!!! Finally, and while you can see the Nikon falling behind in the features area compared to the other two, but being $1000 less is definitely worth considering! You're basically saving the price of an additional camera and you can use this money to get an awesome lens like the 50mm f1.8, a CF Express Type-B, and still get some spare for a compact lens like the 28mm f2.8 or a 105mm Micro f2.8 lens (which is also great for portraits). So, unless you're a sports/wildlife shooter, the Z7II is still worth considering as the best bang for your buck.

    I would go with the a7RV because I am a Sony user but more importantly, because i can depend on the camera not overheating. At this point, all 3 cameras are great now. Autofocus is subjective and as long as it has 400+ focus points with fast focus, then its great enough already. Even then i still find myself using touch tracking, spot focus and center focus because I cannot rely on wide AF-C alone. Buy the camera that you like the most or are in their systems, simple as that.

      Interesting that the overheating is the issue for you - I have an A7IV and R5 and the A7IV has overheated far more often (30m of 4K30) than my R5 (which hasn’t overheated once during long video shoots). No one talks about the Sony overheating issues..

      @@heisjolly I have 2x A7IV and I have experienced overheating issues as well. I only experienced overheating issues when I use cards that are less than V90 speed. Any V90 SD card or Express Type A cards does not create overheating for me. I record in S-cinetone, 10-bit, 4K, 30fps, XAVC-S and what other high settings i have. With V60 & V30 SD cards, overheating is bound to happen with the a7iv. With V90, I can record pass 30 minutes easily without my a7iv shutting off. Canon's R5 is known to have overheating issues that is not recommending for primary video shoots. Unless you have multiple R5 on hands, I wouldnt risk using the R5 as a main camera for a pay gig. Today, i have my fx3 as my dedicated video camera because i prefer to just have 1 dedicated video camera rather than a hybrid camera becoming 2.

      - can have 20fps electronic shutter but only if lens is fully open (max aperture)

    Starting with half a dozen wide angle zooms (most of them F2.8), a 12mm and 14mm prime, THREE 20mm primes, and two 24mm primes.
    Primes include the ones mentioned above plus multiple others in 35, 40, 50, 85, 90, 100, 105, 135, 400, and 600mm.
    Then half a dozen zooms in the ~24-70mm range (most of them F2.8).
    Almost a DOZEN telephoto zooms ranging from 70 to 600mm.
    Then you got some incredible superzoom/travel lenses, like the unicorn that is the Tamron 35-150 F2-2.8 (a zoom/aperture combo that is still unmatched), and the bargain but high quality Tamron 28-200 F2.8-5.6. Sony's own 24-240mm isn't great but still far better than Canon's RF version.
    And sure, only 1/3 of these are actually made by Sony, with Tamron and Sigma making the rest, but that's the beauty of having a mount fully open to 3rd parties. You can't possibly tell me Canon RF or Nikon Z can surpass all this.

    That’s why there is so much hate on Nikon.

Much better choice for gimbal user, 24-70 RF 900g vs 28-75mm 540g or 24-70mm gm ii 700g or Sigma 28-70mm 470g.
    For battery also Sony, easy get original battery in used market. Rather than buying new batteries lpe6nh.
    Adapters are not relevance, your hands easily tired using heavier lenses that ergonomically gonna be front heavy. Native lenses tends to works better, fit better, more ergonomic, lighter setup & easier to balance on gimbal. Adapter itself weight 100g.

    When talking about the mount, I don’t think it was mentioned that you can adapt EF lenses pretty well to the Sony.

    The reason why I ended up with a Sony at all, is because I tried my EF 70-200 IS 2.8 mk2 on an A7R3 via a meta ones adapter and was really surprised on how well it AF’ed, at least as good as the Canon I was using at the time. Having said that, if I had not added a Sony body at the end of 2017 and had just continued to shoot with the Canon, I’d have probably ended up with the R5 now, but as I have both Canon EF and Sony E systems (and Fujifilm GFX & Leica M), I’m probably less likely to buy into the Canon RF system now.

Is it expensive to go first party all the way through? Heck yeah. But is going all the way with first party worth it? Most of the time, yes.
    I worked camera retail for nearly four years. I've watched many customers take great leaps through their photography journey. They started out with a DSLR and got some Sigma or Tamron lenses. What did they end up with while I was on my way out of retail? Modern mirrorless cameras with only first party lenses.
    If you've got the money for these cameras, first party lenses shouldn't be far behind that purchase. You don't buy these higher-tier cameras to save money. This debate should really only be taking place in the lower-tier camera sections. If you're wanting the Tamron 35-150 F2.8, okay fine, you got me. That's a lens with no first party answer to.

      Things do change. Nowadays the * better third-party lenses are often as good than the Canon/Sony/ Nikon
      and sometimes better. One example: if you look into the more thorough reviews carefully, the best superzoom is a Tamron

      Yes but Canon also doubled its prices for RF lenses compared to before. EF lenses here in Europe were 1500-2000 EUR a piece for the last decade, now the RF options are 3000-3500 which is insane. The comparable Sony E mounts Grand Master are still at 1500-2000. So you could buy 3 top Sony lenses for 4500 EUR whereas 3 Canon top lenses would be 9000 EUR. It's insane and probably will lead me to switch to Sony this year. Especially since Canon cracking down on third party manufacturers seem to indicate this won't change anytime soon.

    An inconvenant fact Jared left out, as has been noted. Current prices: Sony a7RV - $3,899.00, Canon R5 - $3,399.00, Nikon Z7 II - $2,596.00. Yes, Nikon lags in several areas, don't know if its software, hardware or both, but it is also a lot cheaper. Price point comparison may be a better measure

Get an FTZ adapter and you have a huge selection of Nikon and third party glass available.

    Jared, I've always been a fan of what you put out here on YT and share with the community, but it does seem that you have developed a (subconscious?) bias against Sony. I shoot both Sony and Canon. The A7R5 contains a slew of features of functions that you conveniently leave out of this comparison. The open E-mount is actually a big deal, it is not only Tamron and Sigma, but also great Zeiss, Voigtlander and many other glass that creates an entire eco-system. Yes, you only shoot native glass, but even if you look at that - the Sony 70-200/2.8 GMii is a much better performer than the RF equivalent, not to mention the advantages for the internal focusing -- the push/pull of the RF one is really slow and tough to use in fast focusing environments like indoor sports; the 50/1.2GM is smaller, lighter, cheaper and has faster and more quiet focus than the RF 50/1.2; there isn't even a 35/1.4gm competitor on the RF side - one can go on and on - the check-mark for lenses doesn't belong to Canon. Same thing with the AF system of the A7R5 - if you have set it up correctly, it is much more sticky and effective than the Canon one. Hey, I'm glad that the Canon one works for you, it does for me to but it is not better than the new AI-chip-powered one. The ability to switch between photo/video on a dedicated button, The on/off switch, etc. I can go on, and on. The Canon R5 is an amazing camera, I don't see it objectively besting the A7R5.

      @cafeaulait2064 Год назад

      @@avomarkarian6187 The Sony menu system has gotten a lot better and easier over the years, but I think the Canon one is a bit easier to learn. Having said that, a late-generation Sony body has something like 14 customizable buttons, so once you have finished setting it up, you will almost never have to go into the menu system. I would focus on lenses - what ones do you really need and how much do you want to spend. For instance, I really like the Canon RF 50/1.2 but the AF motors are a bit too noisy, it is bigger, heavier, and more expensive than the equivalent Sony lens. But nowadays, I would buy the Sony 50/1.4GM, which is even smaller, lighter, cheaper and sharper - Canon doesn't have any such offering. Another favorite lens is the Zeiss Batis 2/40 - it has a special character - again, Canon doesn't accept 3rd party glass. I can keep going. Don't get me wrong, if you just want the whole trinity f/2.8 zooms, then the Canon R5 is an amazing system.

    I have been a Canon user for 50 years, only when I bought an R5 I could no longer use Sigma lenses. Luckily I still have a 5D4, but for eye tracking, the main reason I went to mirrorless I am losing out, especially with my 120-300mm f2.8. It has got to the point I am considering getting a Sony A7Rv with a Sigma MC11. The mk4 is cheaper, but the new tilt screen is a tipping point,only as I shouldn't be spending thousands when I am on a small pension, it pisses me off that Canon have not addressed the 3rd party issue, in firmware if not aloowing Sigma etc to build RF glass.

    You know I love ya' but I am calling BS this time on the Z7ii. The most recent software from March, FW1.4 there has been a major improvement on the Z7ii. In the past, I would never use it for sports of any kind. Recently I shot a marathon, cyclist and motocross. My keeper rate was 98.5%. Now is Canon and Sony better? Maybe, I don't know anyone with a Canon, but everyone I know with a Sony I can keep up with. Accuracy is there, IF the correct AF mode is selected. Of course my Z9 is better than the Z7ii. Overall, still love this breakdown video. :)

    I have to say, despite shooting Nikon myself, I would not recommend anyone buying a Z7 II (or Z6 II) at this point, unless you are just looking for amazing IQ at a kinda lower price point for doing studio or landscape stuff (cause those $1000 will buy you a very nice tripod or lights). Those cameras are pretty much outdated at this point compared to what Canon and Sony have to offer right now. I really hope Nikon stops dragging their feet and finally come out with an update for those models
