I absolutely love and look forward to your Epic Shootout videos! Even when I'm not planning on getting either of the cameras you're showing, I always enjoy watching all the details you provide and your insight, so thank you so much
You're back! These reviews were greatly missed, Michael.
It’s good to be back - I need to do a better job of consistency. Thanks for your patience and support
See from the sample images I would pick the Nikon for portraits. The Sony almost shows too much detail there. For landscapes I would go with the Sony with its advantage of being a compact lighter system
Another great video Michael, thanks for sharing.
This painstaking review is worth the wait and always as a treat. Thanks!
You're doing the best reviews! Thank you!
Love the intro! Great comparison as always!
This is by far the greatest camera review out there and I watch A LOT of camera reviews. I love the 12 portrait picture too. 🙌🏼
I say WOW when I saw the notification.
You are the BEST with this Portrait Test. This test show me more than any other about what colors I realy like. Thanks!
Fantastic video Michael! Looking forward to purchasing your tutorials! Best to you!
Phenomenal review man... Congratulation on this review and your work I'm general. I've become a fan after seeing this video. Love to see someone that worked hard to produce this.
Thank's Maven, great video! I purchased your instruction video when I got my first DLSR years ago, the D7000!!!!
Another great video! Thank you sir! -James
You’re like the mad scientist of Cameras! Love it !
Freaking beautiful job-- great production values, tremendous level of useful detail and accuracy... and you actually know what you are talking about (what a concept).
This is my first video of yours I have seen, but it won't be the last, as you have a new subscriber.
Thanks for caring enough to do such a great job!
Very kind words- thank you Andrew
You Maven, do the BEST comparison video on TH-cam, Period. The precision, the scientific reasoning, the efforts, oh God. You deserve so many more views!
Thank you my Friend!
One word: Awesome! Thank you, Michael!
Hey buddy you got a subscriber. Such a great,honest and impartial review
I recently came across your camera reviews and they are the best.
I can always count on you to go over details others missed, it is great to know that camera companies competitiveness has left this decision to personal choice. That also means that they are exceeding at what they are supposed to be doing, which is bring us the best capable cameras on the market!
Great job on this video. You put a lot of effort into it and covered a lot of very important topics. Congratulations.
The Maven Speaks! Great Stuff Michael, many thanks, i always enjoy these shootouts.
Thank you Rexx!
Thanks for the great real world review!
I think both are great, I choose the D850 simply because of having the full set of Nikon glass.
one point , the buffer test is a bit not fair to the D850.
If you set the D850 to 12 Bit compressed RAW
you will get 200 shootsbefore the buffer ends.
this is the mode Sony was while you were testing it.
Thanks Again !
Yair
Love your reviews. Thank you for making this video.
Got the D850 a month ago. No regrets. It's an incredible camera with great video features!
See One, Do One Amen, I love mine, and it fits my hand.
See One, Do One Love mine and it fits a man’s hands.
MORE DRAMATIC THAN EVER! YES! Thank you sir!
Superb Comparison! Hits all the points that really matter. Thanks for all the work here!
A good honest informative review can never be too long. Thanks mate, hoping to get the D850 one day but happy with the D500 for now. Look forward to many more of your reviews.
Thank you Steve!
Best comparison video I’ve ever seen. Nice job.
one of very few unbiased reviews i've seen...... great review
Best review on TH-cam. Excellent job. Thank you very much. Love watching your videos
As always GREAT VIDEO! THANKS!
Easily the best camera review video I've ever seen. As a landscape photographer who also shoots concerts on occasion I'd probably go with the Nikon but being that I'm already a Canon shooter the Sony would be much less of a headache to switch to. If Canon doesn't put out a truly spectacular 5DSr mark 2 soon I'm jumping ship.
Quite an amazing, thorough, and informative review of both cameras. Thanks.
Man, you make the absolute best videos brother!!! Thank you
This turned out extremely well. It really showed me what I was truly looking at in each camera. I’ve had my choice for a while on which I wanna go with but have been leaning towards one in particular. This review sealed that choice, but did so in an extremely unbiased way! Great review! Keep it up.
Thanks for the review man! Happy to go with the d850 next month! :D
Thank you for being so objective about the comparison.
You deserve more subscribers for your hard work 👏👏👏
Totally get why you were gone and even was a sponsor for some filters. But you and these fantastic videos were still missed.
Thank you Michael.
Thank you so much for your support Rubi! It meant so much to me that nearly 1000 photographers came together in that way. All of our filters were delivered!
Michael, I have bought several of your videos over the years and have learned from each. I think your approach, knowledge, and tone are great. I thought this video was outstanding and takes some of the tribalism out of reviews. There is so much great gear and so many large emotions attached it was really nice to see a calm, realistic side-by-side.
Hands down the best comparison, well done!
Best comparison I have seen. Really stellar! I look forward to an A7III test when you get your hands on one.
Thank you Mr Wood! I should have one soon in a couple weeks
Awesome comparison Michael, good efforts. You are best.
Great Test! Thank you Michael. Definitely buying your video on the A7Riii.
Thank you for your support Eric!
This was awesome Michael! Absolutely love these shoot outs and was looking forward to this one! I love my Nikon D850 and will say a lot of the issues you have with the sony system is the reason why I switched from the Sony a7rII and picked up the Nikon D850!
Thank you TJ! I love my D850 and don't see it going anywhere soon :)
I agree! Also one thing a lot of people dont disclose with the electronic shutter is you will have banding issues when combining artificial and ambient light such as a flash mixed with ambient light and needing to turn on the mechanical shutter but a lot of the Sony TH-cam photographers dont disclose as a tip which cost me a couple shoots, thank goodness it wasnt paid work but the photos were awesome but couldnt use them. As always love the unbiased results and glad you're putting them out there!
I think this would be a good test to add to the arsenal, Ive seen it in the past on other Sonys, but I haven't included it in the Epic Shootouts and I think it is important. Ill include it in my A7iii Review.
I cannot speak for the other TH-cam reviewers, I do think they are trying their best, but I was disappointed with the lack of criticism I saw for the A7iii and overwhelming support and endorsements given for it for the very reason you mention. The Sony Press Events have ruined those specific camera reviews IMO because it is all consolidated now, Sony controls way too much of it and reviewers are not testing on their own. Thats the short of it.
Saweet!!!!!! I think that would be awesome to add to the arsenal! Yes I agree they are trying their best and appreciate the tips on flash photography and how they use flash but definitely think it is something that should be disclosed.
Also very much agree with the Sony reviewing of cameras and how all you hear is positive reviews and dont disclose the negatives like your shootouts with the average consumers in mind. -TJ
Michael, I want to thank you so very much for this unbiased review. I was undecided what Camara to with until you had the 12 photo line up. That helped me to make my decision. Thank you so much. I am subscribed to you and once I get my camera I will buy your crash course so I can learn a thing or two. Please keep making videos like this! This is by far one of the best sides by side reviews I have seen. Thank you so much Sir.
You are the man! Amazing review.
Great comparison. Very well detailed. Thank you very much for this review.
As a Canon user it is refreshing to see a detailed review like this.
That was a very fair an unbiased review. I have the Sony A7RIII and I love the thing. I don't have the Nikon D850 but I still have my D750 which I also love despite its many limitations when compared to the camera bodies discussed in your video. Really good review mate!
Super awesome review man. Just because of this review I subscribed. 👍
My favorite is back!! Thank you for this awesome video. Plz make a video on Sony A7III
Thank you for your support I’ll have one as soon as I can get my hands on it
you won me over with the test! what a brilliant idea!!! I scored 7/12 in favor of the D850 - that was very eye-opening!
Thank you so much! Great review
Shoot. Both amazing. I went with the a7r3 video, ibis and eye AF being the determining factor. Who would have thought that Sony finally has nice color
fantastic analytical review sir..
love your no holds bar reviews mate!
Question.....why the 24/70 non vr nikon lens sir?
Very nice. We learned a lot today. Thank you.
Excellent review and comparison
Thank you Panda!
Great comparison!
I hesitated a lot between the two and at the end I went for the D850, mostly because of lens availability.
I do mostly time lapses and I must admit that I really miss the EV and the possibility of checking the progress of a TL on live view
nice review! very informative!
Enjoy your videos. They're excellent. I hope you can do a thorough review of the Sony A7 III
Fantastic work Michael on the comparison - enjoyed the unbiased review and thank you for that :)
Thank you! My pleasure- Im usually pretty happy with the final results even though there is always much to improve on.
Great comparaison, very full test
Thank you
Now i saw the video its great keep the best work out
Thanks for the review. it was very useful for me.
Great job as usual! Thanks!
Great video, awesome comparison! Well done!
Thank you Freeman!
Best review ever subscribed keep up the good work bro
Awesome review...thank you for sharing!!!
I really liked your unbiased information. You gain new subscriber .
Keep it up and also make a video for how to use camera as beginners .
GREAT Tests, as always ;-)
Nice review! I’ve always been torn between the two!
Superb comparison with well thought out advice. Thanks!
Thank you Art! Much appreciated
Very good review
Your previous reviews were also very good as well...want to see APS-C sensor DSLR review
Love the opening. You are like the "Indiana Jones" of photographers.
Congratulations Michael, this is in my opinion the best of these epic shootouts you've produced. I am a Nikon shooter and in the past felt that the criticism leveled over autofocus was overblown as there are literally no professional videographers I know that use autofocus. But that being said - the types of productions and cameras they use aren't slr's either and I don't personally know any vloggers or TH-cam content creators. Here you're arguments in favor of the sony system for video are the most compelling I've seen. And on the other side of that you are literally the first TH-cam camera reviewer I've seen who has drawn attention to the Sony's problem with autofocus while zooming in or out - that strikes me as profoundly important as someone who shots a lot of fast moving wildlife on my D500 and I am amazed that this is the first I have heard on the topic.
Compelling arguments for either system and hats off to you.
Thank you Randy! Great to hear from you. As strange as this may sound, I’m the only tester I know of who checks the rack zoom during a burst for sports shooting, since the GH4 and A7s Test in 2014, because this is what sports shooters expect to do with DSLRs. Sony’s have always had this issue & they can’t seem to figure it out. Fuji xt2 did not have this limitation. It’s the last major focusing hurdle for Sony cameras. On the video side, I almost always shot manual focus for video, but Sony’s face tracking is so good, I’m starting to use it all the time in my normal shoots. Even at 2.8, it’s just so good. I can literally turn the camera on and jump in front of it without needing to dial focus in or shoot at 5.6-6.3, so for vloggers and tracking shots it’s pretty amazing. Nikon is almost there now. Thanks again for your thoughts
Great Educationel video. Thanks
Amazing review!
great video as usual ... Happy that someone else mentions the moire on the a7r III, its been annoying me since day one !
Great review! Thanks
Great review, congrats!
This is indeed the greatest camera review channel and I will find some way to forever support this channel
Tony A thank you Tony! I really appreciate it.
Your reviews are the best Michael...Please give the review about A7iii....
As soon as I can get one
Excellent review. Have watched several times now. I'm trying to decide between the D850 and the a7rIII. Been leaning toward the latter camera for a few reasons, but, as a portrait shooter, this "posterization" business bothers me and I'm wondering if it should. What would be the "real world" dfference to the naked eye? Finer gradations in the Nikon images? Thanks.
Very good and informative review.👍
This is the best Video for A7R III vs D850. Thank you.
Very good comparison, thank you for putting in so much time to do this very good work. One question regarding the portrait choice, your choice was the Nikon, I’m just curious why the amazing eye AF in the a7r3 was not factored into your equation, because when people shoot portraits, especially with a very fast lens like 85/1.4 and such, that eye AF is a game changer to get you the critical focus when you shoot at large aperture aka shallow depth of field.
Probably one of the most honest review i have watched between the Nikon d850 and Sony a7riii. Video was really helpful.
this is a great vid! i own nikon d850 and im loving it so far
Great review. Funny, when I press your stopwatch stop button with my mouse pointer, it stops ;)
Excellent review Michael! I'm heavily invested in long glass for sports/wildlife shooting, so it's good to know that the D850 is solid if I want to continue on the Nikon side. But I am seriously impressed with the Sony A7RIII. Getting closer to the fork in the road. Just want to see what offerings Nikon will have later this year on the mirrorless side.
I love my D850 & for now Nikon has a terrific native telephoto lens advantage, but that gap is closing, and Sony is pushing innovation very hard. It’ll be interesting to watch how Nikon responds because it seems like they still want to fight. Where’s Canon?
Your comparison reviews are the best i found on youtube .. we are eagerly awaiting the comparison review for mirrorless cameras (Sony A7III VS Nikonz6 VS Canon R) or (Sony A7RIII VS Nikonz7 VS Canon R) !!!
**EPIC ~~EPIC**
Another Best Review yet from you Michael.
Thank you so much.
It's difficult to pick the right pictures.They look identical.
But I noticed Sony looks a bit sharper then Nikon images.
6sony 6nikon damn.. but im lucky i dont have money to chose one of the this cameras :) im happy with my d750 :)
cooloox, the D850 color is quite good, I own one and the camera is excellent.
Looks like the D850 wins out with 8. Looking to upgrade from the D750...hoping it's a worthwhile upgrade! Would use the focus stacking, as I'm doing so manually with my current setup...thus making that portion of Landscape a nice fit.
@@dalewatkins9889 did you upgrate to 850? if yes please can you tell your feelings! i'm planning same upgrate too!
Simply the best. You are amazing.
Great camera comparison review.. very technical! , if you purchase either of these cameras you are going to be very happy.
Thank you for such an honest and extensive review.
Michael Coulson thank you Michael
This review might be 5 years but it's still relevant today. I have a dual 850 set up and also have the A7R iii. Both are brilliant cameras and it's hard to separate them.
Thank you for putting this together. I always check out your comparison reviews. I have been playing with the IBIS on the Oly. I think the system is great, but I don't see a big difference with my newer lenses that have stabilization. What's the chance of seeing a hand held test with Sony's IBIS and a Nikon stabilized lens?
I think this video is the best video for comparing sony a7riii & nikon D850. thanks a million michael.
