The video on top from Tony and Chelsea Northrup shows how the Nikon Z is definitely NOT living up the hype. I think this is one of the biggest differences I ever saw between technical specs written on paper and the real world results. If I would be a Nikon shooter I would wait 2-3 years until the full lens range has been deployed and a more mature camera released before to buy into this system.
And now some genuine trolling: For years Nikon folks said Sony cameras were not serious because of the single card slot and now suddenly this is no more an argument for them….so please let me post this :)
More Nikon thoughts videos:
The image on top shows the new Nikon Z7 with the Sony A7rIII (courtesy of Dpreview). And if you thought Sony gear was overpriced check out the prices of the Nikon cameras and lenses:
Nikon Z7 at BHphoto, Amazon, Calumet Germany. WexUk. $400 more than the A7rIII.
Nikon Z6 at BHphoto, Amazon, Calumet Germany. WexUk. Same price as A7III.
Nikon 24-70mm at BHphoto, Amazon, Calumet Germany. WexUk. $200 more than the Zeiss.
Nikon 35mm at BHphoto, Amazon, Calumet Germany. WexUk.
Nikon 50mm at BHphoto, Amazon, Calumet Germany. WexUk. $400 more than the Sony FE.
Nikon FTZ adapter at BHphoto, Amazon, Calumet Germany. WexUk.

And here a comparison by Mirrorlesscomparison.com:
The full Nikon Z7 and Z6 images are leaked at Nikoneye.com. And here is an approximate size comparison with the Sony A7rIII. The camera will be announced tomorrow with full coverage at Mirrorlessrumors.com. But we Sony guys will not have to wait a loing time to get our exciting time. Rumors coming today! :)

Lok tested the new Sony 400mm f/2.8 FE GM lens that is set to start shipping out on September 28:
Patrick Murphy-Racey also posted a new article on Pmrphoto (Is Sony Making Me a Better Shooter?: Yes, And Here’s Why.).
Tony and Chelsea Northrup do believe than even if Nikon and Canon new FF mirrorless will be as good as the current A7-A9 line Sony is sill nearly two years ahead of them. The Sony A9 is 18 months old. At the time Canon and Nikon FF mirrorless will be available on the market Sony will be already close to a new Sony A9II launch.
P.S.: And they didn’t take into considertaion the already large Sony FE lens system :)
Sean Tucker:
I recently made a total switch in my gear from Canon/Fujifilm to Sony. This video gives my reasoning and why the Sony system is best for my needs as a travelling hybrid shooter. I also give my thoughts on how we should be choosing gear in general, avoiding brand loyalty, gear snobbishness etc, and dispassionately choosing the right tool for the job.
