Dpreview review of the Sony ZV-1 Mark II: “a vlogging camera with excellent video that thrives in auto modes”

Dpreview tested the Sony ZV-1 Mark II and concluded

The video-centric Sony ZV-1 Mark II has excellent rolling shutter, industry-leading autofocus and a very nice selfie-friendly zoom lens, but runs into issues with short battery life and flat out-of-camera audio. The camera thrives in auto modes, making it best suited for users seeking a simple-to-use camera.

Sony A9III review at PcMag: “nothing quite matches the a9 III on the market for action photographers needs”

PcMag reviewed the A9III and concluded:

The camera is tuned for speed, both in terms of performance and capture rate, with 120fps Raw drive and an autofocus system that’s a little more advanced than that from Canon or Nikon. That said, picture quality lags behind contemporaries, and you pay a premium for the cutting-edge tech. High-level sports and action photographers understand that nabbing a moment perfectly is more important than some grain in an image, so nothing quite matches the a9 III on the market for those needs. But if you don’t mind a slightly slower capture rate or intend to roll a lot of video, the Editors’ Choice-winning Canon EOS R3 and Nikon Z 8 are both top-notch alternatives.
