There is no pixel shift on the Nikon Z5, you will need to check your facts again.

Great review! But to be honest, Nikon has better colors and better contrast straight out the camera, that things made me choose the Z5.

Nikon z5 had better dynamic range from my experience. do a side by side comparison with same lighting, same lens, and base iso.

From a European 2022 pov: Nikon is sold out. You cannot get lenses and only some cameras with beginner kit lenses. Also the few lenses you can get are pricier than the equivalent Sony lenses (but better quality). From what I've seen stock will be updated sometime in February. Wanted to buy the Z5 first but with all the equipment the Sony is actually less expensive. Basically, the Z5 is a money trap, yes it looks cheap at first but because there is no third party support costs will accumulate quickly if you buy anything but the kit lens.

Thank you so much Gary for the informative video, but I think Sony A7III has also two card slots? Did you mean one card slot just for UHS-II? Thank you again and Good luck!

I have a lot of f-mount lens and do more photos vs video, for me the z5 checks more boxes compares to the a7iii, maybe if someone haven't invested heavily in the Nikon eco system, the Sony will be a better option.

Really stuck here. Just wanna get into photography, as a personal hobby, but I'm too much of a tech enthusiast to let myself buy anything less than a full frame sensor camera.

I don't know if I should go with a used Sony a7iii or the Nikon Z5. Really, primarily, wanna stick with all outdoor stills, but the BIS feels important to have for that dark detail. Feels a bit contradictory to buy full frame but handicap it without good dynamic range.

Also, I read lenses for the Nikon are much more expensive than the Sony, so maybe I'm better off Sony?

Any tips or suggestions? Trying to spend as little as possible but get as much as possible here.

Thank you!!!! I been a Nikon shooter for years and I’m finally sick of the autofocus lol. I get the job done it’s just much much slower. This is a nice switch over. Plus Sony always gets the lenses I want first.

A good video but few facts aren't correct. The dynamic range, cost of native lenses. Adopting other lenses can be adopted from Nikon F mount to their Z mount but Sony is in a different league by itself as I also can adopt Nikon F mount lenses too while adopting alot of other lenses mount too why the Nikon can't.

What is better for street photography? Sony a6400 or nikon z5?

[knowhow]

I have Sony a7iii AND I DON'T AGREE with you bro, NIKON Z5 is better, you using very strong words, "Sony is much better in image", "Nikon will fall apart" trsut me you just need to check again.

We're in end of 2024, I am a hobbyist wildlife (moreover Insect) photographer and confused if I should go with a7iii or Z5. I currently own Nikon. Or I should just wait for Nikon Z5ii? Please can someone suggest?

[MrRaychard]

I own both Sony has better video feature (slow mo 120fps 1080p, slight crop in 4k and better AF). I got Z5 bec it was posted used less than 500 shutter count for sub 800

[Red_Olt]

Why are you comparing David to Goliath?
Why not the Sony A7 III with the Nikon Z6 II or the Z5 with the A7 II.

[fatemehzakerizadeh]

It's 2024 and I confused between these two, I'm portrait photographer (modeling_wedding...)
which one is better for me ?

[moshikohn]

Hoi, im kinda struggling between the Z5 and A7 III the lenses from the z mount are pretty expensive and Sony is a bit cheaper.i have a d3300 and a kit lens plus Sigma 70-300mm should i buy like a Nikon FX lenses and adapter and a second hand Z5 or everything new

[kelvinhady]

Great video man!!!! Much appreciated!! Easy to watch

[EUFORIAPORMEXICO]

Today in July 2023, Is it good to buy a Nikon z5 for $700 dollars?

[aprogress]

Why sony doesn't blinking when doing burst shoot like nikon? Is it have stacked sensor or maybe it use electronic shutter?

[drozdoff]

If you need video as well choose z6ii, if you need only foto and save 1000$ choose z5
