    Very good video with much honesty. Maybe the Sony fits better in women hands... In my case, Nikon is the winner. I am a Nikon shooter and I recently bought a Z8. What a great camera ! Love the Nikon ergonomic bodies since the D200. I like the 61 Mpx of the Sony too but I think the Nikon color science is better than the Sony even if it can be corrected in post. It seems more natural as the light is noticeably warmer at sun rise (in many cases in your video the Sony is too cold in tones).

    Thank you. Love this comparison.
    Image quality is superb on both, colours, Nikon being a bit warmer, but not always, not really a big of a deal. It might be even just difference between lenses, that makes huge difference too (in extreme - compare some vintage lenses, for example different Soviet MIR-1V lenses - some variants makes neutral colour, some desaturated colours, then compare those with Super Takumar which renders heavily into warm tones. Same camera, same light, huge differences in result). What I find interesting is that Nikon seems to keep a bit more detail in clouds in final edits (more contras, but might be just the way you edited them). Resolution difference is... quite insignificant IMO. Yes, noticable difference, but I dont feel its enought I would just go 60MPx over 45MPx just because of resolution.
    Seems to me like the main difference and deciding factor in body itself for landscapes is just ergonomics (for me personally that button placement on sony all on back all on right side is far bigger advantage than any negative from smaller form. Especially after using A7II for few months, which is even smaller, when I found out that having one finger under camera body doesnt cause any problems).
    Then there are other areas that have more value for decision - lenses, use case (i.e. do you use it for landscape only? stills only?...) and also long term support - its undeniable that Nikon really improves its camera systems significantly over time with firmware updates, unfortunatelly cant be said about Sony.

    SOOC the Nikon images looked better. Final edit I preferred the Sony images by a wide margin. I find that really interesting and not what I expected. I'm interested in a larger sensor system and the finalists are the new Fuji GFX 100 II, the A7RV and the Z8. I may have to give the A7RV more consideration. Thanks for the great comparison.

      @@summitbid There are a few things about the Z8 that are interesting. But the size and weight kind of make it a non-starter for landscapes especially compared to the A7RV. (That battery life really sucks too.) We edit our photos anyway so what really matters is the final results, not what the out of camera jpegs look like. I would have never expected the Sony files to polish up so well as you have shown. I'm also really liking the 20-70 f4 and 70-200 f4 Sony combo, with a 100-400 available should I want one, but otherwise, 2 lenses and done. The Fuji GFX doesn't have anything reasonable beyond about 160mm FF equivalent, so that's kind of a bummer there.

    Great Video, enjoyed the comparison. Big hands… and 6’8", always used a battery extension grip for size on Canons. Moved to Sony and same applies, battery grip (3rd party) solves the larger size fit and comfort when needed for handhold. Sony’s sensors have been leading for years and continues… Nikon has much to like but Sony in my opinion for file size, resolution, sharpness, detail, true capture from Sensor to Raw converter in C1, LR or On1, Sony takes it. Battery life superior says a lot for Sony electronics, Software Customization of controls is more than needed, but available.
    Image comparison in my view… RUclips of your side by sides, Sony looked sharper and more dynamic range. The Nikon is warmer but muddier or softer.
    Nikon & Canon were leaders in film and DSLR, ignored Sony’s direction until proven superior… now working hard to beat Sony in mirrorless digital. The A7RV, and new A9iii are outstanding achievements… I can afford 1 glass set, Sony easily wins for me.

    @astrodysseus 11 месяцев назад +6

    18:30 that's the thing.. for pure landscape photography, you don't really care about autofocus, burst shooting at 20 fps and many other cool functionalities the z8 has. You care about resolution (a7rv), colorimetry (usually nikon) and lens sharpness corner to corner (sony is getting a lot better at this). They are both excellent camera but the Z8 is just a lot more versatile. If you only do landscape photography in normal weather conditions, the a7rV is probably a better bet. If you have extreme weather condition, if you want 8k video, if you do animal photography or if you already have nikon lenses, just go for the z8

    The difference in resolution between the two is about 15%. The equivalent print sizes would be 20" x 30" for the Z8 and 23" x 35" for the A7RV. Who will notice that except a person with a magnifying glass, physical or electronic in LR?
    A feature which is missing in the Z8, but I expect will return in the first or second firmware update, is "Exposure Delay Mode". It has been in every 'tier-2' Nikon pro body for a decade, and for some reason it was removed from the Z9 and Z8. Firmware [Edit: 4.0] put it back in the Z9, so it seems like it will be put back in the Z8 as well.

    Sony makes some great cameras and really caters to RUclipsrs specifically. I just personally cannot get over the fact that most creators act like Sony is a god amongst camera line ups and nothing else compares. I see people in these comments saying Sony has better lens options, which is purely NOT the case, different maybe, but not light years ahead of anyone else like most claim. Almost every argument I see in favor of Sony just reminds me of HYPEBEAST stuff... I think most of it comes from the fact that Sony has a billion different cams for all occasions, which is great, but Nikon ALWAYS comes back with a beast of a lineup. Some of the Z lenses are the best lenses ever when measured by DXO Mark. I think Sony just has better marketing and more "creator focus" than Nikon. Just like Apple vs PC.
    Also, the Sony EGO is real. Sony users think very highly of themselves simply for picking Sony and look down on anyone that uses anything other than Sony.

    Kukos for hiking into this remote location with all this gear. This video demonstrates a most significant benefit of the Sony A7R5 versus the Nikon Z8 - size and weight. As a mountaineer, there is simply no justification to cart an extra ounce into the backcountry - let alone the 1/2 lb. weight difference and bulk between the two bodies. Also, generally, lens choices for Sony are a bit lighter too. All other differences are trivial in comparison. ps-the A7R5 plus the Tamron 28-200 are the awesome, backcountry combo.

    • @summitbid

      So I actually have extensive experience with both the a7r3 and z8 on a capture clip and the z8 is not intolerable but not as comfortable as the Sony. The z8 feels just slightly too big for everything (capture clips, backpacks exe) but then feels amazing when you hold it. At the end of the day I think the z8 will annoy you for a bit on the clip but ultimately will become unnoticeable like Sony.

Pretty close to pulling the trigger on the Z8, but, but my mind keeps telling me that the A7R5 will be better for most use cases.

    Hi, I have an issue that you might help me to make my final decision: in short, after switching from sonya1 because I didn’t like colours and also a7cR that was slow, still i own gfx100s with all gf lenses and i love 16bit images BUT it’s bulky and slow to be enough versatile for all kinds of photography! Recently i tested Nikon Z8 that I believe is all in one camera for what i meed and reliable for any scenarios. BUT 14 vs 16bit image! Although in theory humane yes cannot see more that 8bit but I believe i can see and appreciate how much is deep 16bit image in camera, monitor and print! So, shall I sacrifice 16bit IQ to have all in one camera gear to cover all kinds of photography i need, or i should forget about all in one and focus on landscape and still life photography (only) and maybe portraits, but achieve 16bit image for best cropping possibility and also x-large printing? Thank you.

    • @summitbid
      @summitbid  5 месяцев назад

      I have used the GFX as well and came to conclusion that while the IQ was fantastic, I was able to get better overall images with a full-frame system because of versatility. 16 bit is awesome, but I honestly felt the editing versatility was offset by the Fuji having a strong “baked-in” look that wasn’t my favorite all the time. My personal system is Sony, but the z8 was a fantastic camera and honestly I would be surprised if you missed the Fuji.

    For landscape photography many cameras can produce equal and better than either. The Nikon Z7_2 will produce exactly the same files in experienced hands.

Better to go a d spend time refining your composition and file development skills will improve your portfolio far more than fussing over minute differences between top cameras. 😊

    • @summitbid
      @summitbid  7 месяцев назад

      People still need to buy a camera. And these two are the best options by two top brands. I get the argument that refining your skills makes a bigger difference, and it’s largely true, but I don’t think it makes comparisons irrelevant. As your comment that “many” cameras will produce equal or better is not true. The medium format cameras from Fuji or hassleblad probably do but don’t have the lens options. You are correct the final image from the z7ii (or the Sony a7riv) will look similar, but I would argue that other features on the cameras will make real difference to landscape photographers.

    It seems to me that a comparison of the Sony A9 and Nikon Z8 would make more sense as both have stacked sensors

    You mentioned that the battery of Z8 dropped 40% in just 45 minutes of shooting. This is very shocking and disappointing to hear! Have you tried using a portable charger to charge the Z8 when it is in the field and do you think this can resolve the battery life problem of the Z8?

    • @summitbid
      @summitbid  Год назад

      You can definitely adjust settings to get better battery life (lower view finder fps, airplane mode, faster screen time out) but the battery has been the biggest disappointment of the z8. You could for sure charge it up in your pack with a power bank.

      @@summitbid Yeah I wish it has a "power saving mode" just like my phone so that I don't have to fiddle around the settings. As for the charger, I was meaning charging the camera when it was operating at the same time, but I am worried that the power drain of Z8 will outrun the supply from the battery charger, as I may want to use the Z8 to shoot time lapse sequences and the battery life is not a good news for me.

      @@chanjeff4406 The Z8 has a USB-PD port so you could plug in an 10,000 mAh power bank, 5x the capacity of the regular EN-EL15 battery. With the battery grip, one battery is also hot-swappable, allowing the time-lapse sequence to continue while you change the battery.
      The Z8 probably has better heat dissipation than the A7RV, but that has the side-effect that the cold temperature drained it faster. Having an external power bank which is kept warm would probably have better results.

      To your eye. A clearly biased fan. I’m a canon user and using both first hand and not watching a video the a7r5 easily wins the comparison. Much better dynamic range, colours and contrast. Your clueless take represents fanboys who lack any understanding and the fact you think anything isn’t replicable in post shows you’re a novice.
      I ended up investing in Sony as well after trialing both. Also you must love shooting for much less time with the horrid battery life of the Nikon.

    As someone that has used both I can’t go beyond the a7R5. The higher dynamic range, superior AF, the back screen is much more flexible to shoot with, better viewfinder, lighter feel, better contrast in images. For photography only the Sony is the easy winner. For hybrid it is easily the Nikon.
    Little things also like the Sony Bluetooth remote is a thing of beauty Nikon has yet to match.
    The customisation of the Sony buttons and styles and how everything can be done mainly with one hand (right) is bloody awesome. Also as it has far superior IBIS than the Z8 I love shooting handheld and get longer shots which I haven’t been able to do with the Z8.
    Lovely video.
    Oh and the battery life. It’s laughable how absolutely horrible the Z8 is.

      Give me Z8 back screen, af, viewfinder (I say this for af and viewfinder because I shoot action - sports and wildlife), colors and size. I’ll take A7r5 dynamic range and battery life. Ibis depends on lenses. You won’t find better ibis combo when using telephoto lenses.

      I'm a Nikon user and have just purchased a z8 though I would have preferred a z9, but couldn't afford it. I'm obviously therefore biased towards the z8, but I have to agree with you about making excuses. I could see clearly that there was a difference and in favour of the Sony. One thing he didn't mention which I would have found interesting is the price difference between the two. What are you getting compared to what you are paying.
      Too me and additional megapixel rate of and additional 33.33% is going to make a lot of difference in image quality and indeed in detail. I've always gone Nikon, I never really gave Sony a second thought, especially as there is quite a price difference. As I no longer work, even the z8 really stretched the old purse strings. To be honest, the Sony definitely came out on tops and by quite a margin in the end. But as they say, horses for courses and what fits your pocket.
      Though as I have always maintained, it's not the quality of camera, it's the picture that counts. You can take a lousy picture with any camera and a great picture with any camera. The camera itself just provides a better quality final image. It is still good to have a decent camera.
      The z8 is a step up for me, I had two Nikon D7200s before and they never let me down. I captured many a great shot with them. I drowned one and wore out the other over a number of years. I have the Nikon z mount 70-200 F2.8 lens and it is heavy. I will require a second lens, not sure which, though I have been considering the 24-7- F2.8 as it is an excellent lens. I had one with my D7200. Maybe the 20 F1.8 lens which would cover both astro and landscape!

    The Sony 24-105 f4 is an awesome and sharp lens also even though old. The Nikon 20-120mm is bloody nice also.
    The Sony also has a higher dual native ISO than the Nikon and the lower base iso doesn’t close the dynamic range unfortunately
