Nikon Z 8 vs Sony a7R V, A Battle of Mirrorless ALL-STARS?

DPReview’s Chris, now employed at PetaPixel, posted a video where he compares the Nikon Z 8 with the Sony a7R V. Mirrorless all-stars? I doubt so.

Chris seems to have forgotten Canon’s rich offering on mirrorless cameras. While the Nikon Z 8 is a great camera (and the Sony seems to be too), we have an EOS R5 and EOS R3. Not all-stars? Enjoy the video.

The Sony a7R V “Feels Like A Milestone” in Sony’s History, DPReview

The new Sony a7R V is a very capable camera, and according to the review we are featuring “results can be spectacular”. Read on to learn more.

At a glance:

  • 61MP Full-Frame Exmor R BSI CMOS Sensor
  • BIONZ XR & AI Processing Unit
  • AI-Based Real-Time Tracking AF System
  • 8K 24p, 4K 60p, FHD 120p 10-Bit Video
  • 4K 16-Bit Raw Output; S-Log3/S-Cinetone
  • 9.44m-Dot EVF with 120 fps Refresh Rate
  • 3.2″ 4-Axis Multi-Angle Touchscreen LCD
  • 10 fps Shooting with AF/AE Tracking
  • 8-Stop 5-Axis Image Stabilization
  • Dual CFexpress Type A/SD Card Slots

Photographic authority DPReview reviewed the Sony a7R V. All in all a very positive review, with a “Gold Award” and a 92/100 score. Not bad. From their conclusion:

[the a7R V] builds on a camera that was already good, and still improves almost every detail (stills/video switch, menus, video capabilities, screen, faster card slots) to end up being a significantly more complete camera. In that regard it feels like something of a milestone in Sony’s camera history […]

If your photography benefits from high levels of detail capture, the a7R V is a camera that will do all it can to help you get the results you want, and those results can be spectacular.

[…]

The Sony a7R V is a high resolution mirrorless camera, combining an excellent sensor with a powerful autofocus system in a body refined over multiple generations of improvement. It lends itself to a wide range of photography, from portraiture and landscape work to wedding and events. Its cropped, slow readout 8K video is the only real weakspot in an otherwise hugely capable camera.
