The Nikon Z8 images and specs have been leaked. It will directly compete with the Sony A7rV and in my latest video I compared the specs between the two cameras.
The answer to the question, “Should I buy the 60-600mm f4.5-6.3 DG DN OS Sports?” comes down to one thing: What’s more important to you, versatility or autofocus speed? If versatility is the most important, then this Sigma has plenty of that. It’ll miss some fast action shots, and results won’t be quite as sharp. But, it will hit 60mm and 600mm when a lens swap isn’t possible due to time constraints or a wet or dusty environment.
If a fast autofocus speed and sharpness are more important, then the similarly priced Sony 200-600mm f5.6-6.3 G OSS is easily the better choice. It drops far fewer frames, resulting in more sports and wildlife photography keepers. Plus, it’s an internal zoom lens that’s a little lighter.
The answer, however, changes for L-Mount shooters, who have few options regarding the 600mm focal length. Again, Sigma’s 150-600mm is a little sharper, but there’s not much out there regarding a super-telephoto zoom for L-Mount. While I would choose the Sony 200-600mm lens instead on E-Mount, there are not many other options that reach 600mm on L-Mount.
About those rumors: I have no idea who sent them and 90% of the times they turn out to be wrong. But, it happened in the past that a couple of those were right. So I will post them today, and we all together can eventually keep track of this. If one of the sources turns out to be right than we will know we can trust it a bit more!

There is a chance A9iii keeps using same imx310. Not even Bionz XR can use full potential of this sensor. 310 is extremely overpowered, many functions are blocked on A9/9ii because heat and lack of power to use.
