Minor corrections: the Z6 III does 1 second pre-capture up to 120fps in jpg only with the same caveats as C120 (dx/11mp), but can also capture full res jpgs up to 60fps pre-capture with C60. Also, the a7 IV does have a variable shutter, although it's basically unusable with it's electronic shutter.
im sure the Nikon doesn't record video to both cards
i am using sony a7iv and still happy with this bad boy
A small addition: in the a7iv, slot 1 can also accept UHS-II SD card in addition to CF express. So the A7IV can be used with 2 SD cards or 1CF Express and 1 SD card at the same time
@@froknowsphoto minor correction: the A7iv has a variable shutter as well (which is unuseable with that slow ass sensor)
@@RealThore thanks, I added that to the list. Forgot it had one since it's unusable like you said.
Spoiler Alert: The Nikon loses. (It's Jared after all)
Spoiler Alert: I'm still getting it.
You beat me to it. This is what I was going to say.😂
@@Mark-ds7ug 😂
For me the Z6iii wins in everything except Dynamic range. Quite unbelievable that Nikon has poor dynamic range than a Canon.
@@panzer3279I bet you can't even tell the difference.
Five years ago I was watching these comparisons and I bought my first camera and have not regret it and now here I am once again thanks Jared
R6 Mark III, the ball is now in your court
They need to make it a stacked BSI sensor for sure. Full HDMI, and better video options. The fact that they have no All Intra is a head scratcher. I know I’m missing many more other things they can add or change for the price point, but those are what came to mind.
For the checkmarks tally
Nikon Z6 III: 7.75
Canon R6 Mark II: 2.5
Sony a7 IV: -8732.5
A little low for the Sony but the Z6 III being about 3 times as good as the R6 Mark II seems right.
Nikon Z mount has the largest diameter so you can adapt lenses from multiple other mounts, plus there other third party sellers from China. And then there’s the F mount Nikkor lenses.
I think the Nikon cameras are pretty interesting, there’s a lot of potential.
So far I am loving my Z6III that replaced my Z6II.
I like the Nikon system for an enthusiast. Their 24-120 f4 and the s line of small f1.8 primes, are pretty hard to beat. Their high end stuff is top of the line also. Canon either has dinky cheap stuff or pro grade gear. Nothing in the middle with great optics.
Nikon lack of s-line 24 35 50 and 85 f1.4 lenses stopped me going Nikon. Yes they have lenses like the excellent 85 f1.2 but that thing is heavy at 1160g compared to both Sigmas excellent 85 f1.4 and Sony new 85 f1.4 both come in the 600-700 g range. Shooting all day with a 1.16KG lens is not my idea of fun. So for me up to 300mm Sony has the best glass but after 300mm I would give it to Nikon. Having said all that the Z8 is amazing value for money compared to Sonys A1 and A9III yes different cameras but they are all at the high end of the camera ranges.
@@nickwilliams7867 looking sad at my 50mm 1.8s and 24mm 1.8s ...
the 50 1.8s is really better that anything else from any other manufacturers in 50mm
@@nickwilliams7867true ! Im a Nikon shooter from past 9yrs n this hurts me everyday. Im neither satisfied with 1.8S because they lack character nor cant afford 1.2S . even if i afford , usability of them because of thier weight hampers my shooting agility. They are hard to balance on gimbal. I want to transform myself into a hybrid shooter becuz i believe thats what the future is but not having pro 1.4S line lenses is suffucating me to switch to sony
I had a z6ii for a while. I got a r6 ii last December. I'm glad i made the switch
What made you switch systems?
Been waiting for this 🎉
Damn that was fast
Not trying to be a jerk, but why? Would you really switch brands for a very marginal (bordering on insignificant) performance gain on an entry level body?
@@tstanley01 some cameras have features that suits a particular job. A tool for the right job
@@tstanley01 I switched from Sony A7iv, a7iii and FX3 to Canon when they introduced the R6ii. I run it along an R5C and the Canon cameras kick ass
Canon, of course, created a pathway to continue using the older, but still great EF lenses. These are, essentially, their version of "3rd party lenses." So glad they did that. There's no way I could afford my excellent long-ish telephoto 2.8 were this not the case.
I got the Z6iii. Mostly because I already had Nikon lenses and flashes, but R6ii was tempting because of the price.
I love Canon AF system but Image quality of Nikon so good
Unfortunately none of them because I can’t afford any of them 😭
I bought an R8 for $1199, it 90% the same as R6II
I will rather invest on lens than body
@@endowpictures22 Well, I’m kinda due for an upgrade. My current camera is a Nikon D7100. The problem is I don’t do enough photography to justify buying a new camera
@@1dareu2mov3 if u get d7200 with good lens....it is wow....that Camera is one of my dream gear....I shoot canon though
Why so ? Are you banned to purchase by all these three brands ?
I have recently bought a r6 mark ii as an upgrade from the Rebel t7. And your videos were a great help in make it the right choice of camera❤
I've bought R6MII two years ago in the very first day after release to replace my good-old 6D. Solid upgrade, very nice camera that fits all my EF glass without any problem (I'm also shooting film with EOS3 and don't buy RF glass). If you already have some Canon or Nikon - just buy a new body and stay with the system... they offers almost the same for almost the same money.
I don’t get the bit about how a new Canon will threaten the Z6 III. We’ve reached a point of maturity with all three systems that there’s not really a big jump to be made until there’s some huge technological breakthrough. Especially given what most people use this range of cameras for.
Canon released R5 m2 to beat Nikon Z8, but it was unseccessful attempt.
@@entphotoentphoto-pn5me Jared strongly prefers Canon, but there isn’t a big gap between any of the three brands anymore. We should stop acting like someone is going to come in and blow everyone else away. That’s over.
@entphotoentphoto-pn5me not sure what aspects Z8 is better than R5mkII ?
@@gourami7 Video. It has oversampled 4K/60 and the R5 II doesn't. But this is the issue with this view of cameras. To "beat" the next camera these days, they just increase the FPS by 10 and then people on TH-cam will go nuts.
@@gourami7 In reality they are essentially almost the same cameras. But! There's always but. But the fact that Z8 has better sensor read out speed is the advantage of nikon. This readout speed affects video footage as well (less rolling shutter).
Shoot with Canon my whole life started with the F1
I want the z6III, I have a z6 and a z9. I love my z9 and I would love to upgrade my z6 for the z6III, seems like it would be the perfect second body for me.
Very good review, minor correction at 9:56
The Z6III does do pre release capture at 120fps
Thanks for the correction, noted in the pinned comment
Been shooting Nikon for a long time, love their files, I still have a D850 and quite a bit of F mount glass, I also use a Z 7ll and for my work the autofocus is fine. I bought the Z 6lll on its release and I can safely say although less resolution than I normally been using last few years I am in no way disappointed with the Z 6lll. Autofocus is great and image quality is fantastic as I have always expected from Nikon
@@lesgregory4469 I can't wait to get mine.
Im a nikon shooter too but Lack 1.4 S line pro lenses bugs me being a hybrid shooter
Ok so now, I think a lot of us want to see the same video but with Z8 and R5 II !
I have a nikon Z5 and D7200, I'll get for sure the Z6III I need the raw video 10bits. I'd really love to have that video quality.
I sold my Z6ii and upgraded to the Zf. The Expeed 7 is light years ahead of dual Expeed 6's. I donr shoot video so the only reason for me to pick the z6iii would be the ergonomics and battery grip.
Canon should always take a HUGE hit because of it's mount 3rd party prohibition. The consumer is GREATLY disadvantage from the start. It's no small thing.
This is actually incredibly positive towards the z63. You give nikon praise but only when it’s warranted as it should be
Because this isn't 2020. Nikon is a very capable mirrorless platform. I began Z mount by adapting F mount glass on a Z6II, you no longer have to adapt. The system minus some very niche optics is there and worth buying into.
I took advantage of the $1,999 deal and got an R6ii. I couldn't be happier. Great camera. Just curious how you think the Lumix S5ii would stack up against these 3. Similar specs similar money. L MOUNT ALLIANCE!
2k for the R62 is a fantastic deal. It took the original R6 forever to get to that price...
I’ll stick with my R8 and my EF 35mm
Low price best camara
Same but with rf 50mm
Great video, can't believe I watch it all even if I'm not going to buy one of those having the Z7ii already however is good to see how the Z6iii improved the Nikon line
Finally after waiting for weeks my confusion is clear ❤️ thanks Jared👍
Went with the Canon R6MII, love it. Often use C-RAW and avoid buffer issues.
I had the Z7ii and will be buying a Z6iii
Should of waited for the Z7III 😉
Thank you for the segment on using the viewfinder! So many crooked photos from people using the flip out screens.
Canon since my Ixus 400😂; now since November 2023 happy with R6MKII, thanks for your videos.
My friend give me for one day R6 mk2 and it was so good that I don’t need another body for test .. now I need money
Nikon is killin this group right now 😮
As a body it is but As an ecosystem Nikon is irritating curretly becase of lack of lightweight pro lenses
Z6III is really good camera but I hate the fully articulating screen. It's the biggest flaw of the camera.
I ordered my first A7iv right when it launched and got one of the first in Europe. Bought a second one in June last year to have to same bodies when shooting concert. Had awesome 2 1/2 years and about 100k shots on my first body, right at the 100k mark the shutter died. My other cam is at about 70k shots.
I think the A7iv is a great value, when you can get a good deal or even buy it used from a hobbyist with like 5k shots on it and have a solid camera for the next 5-10 years but for professional work it shows it’s age. 60FPS crop sucks when shooting wide angle, the readout speed is atrocious and shooting e-shutter isn’t an option at all (maybe when shooting landscape on a tripod to avoid shutter shock). The burst speed was bad compared to the R6 mark 1 which released more than a year earlier and it’s frustrating. Broad daylight compressed raw at 10fps is okay but as soon as it’s getting dark and you wanna recover the shadows I always go to the 6-7ish fps in lossless compressed raw.
Compared to the R6(ii) I prefer the 33mp. I can easily crop from horizontal to vertical in post (pls don’t kill me Jared) and still have 13.5mp (3000x4500px is my default export resolution for clients). And OMG I love full size HDMI. I cannot believe how many of these awful micro HDMI cables got bent in my life and the full size is just awesome. Shame on canon for having it only in the R5ii.
Yet the failure of a shutter at such a low shutter count and Sonys insanely bad customer support (spotted a dead pixel after 1 1/2 years of use and Sony refused to repair it, violating EU law) I‘m really tempted to switch to the canon R5ii
Since you're a professional, you should only buy from Canon and Nikon. Sony cameras are of poor quality, designed to fail after a few years and offshored to Thailand.
Meanwhile, Canon makes their pro bodies and lenses in Japan. Nikon also makes in Thailand, but their quality is far superior than Sony.
@@panzer3279 I think with enough bad luck I’d have had the same issue with Nikon or Canon. Saying Sony builds garbage is like saying that all BMWs are bad because they had a fault with one model
the Sony can be found used in great condition for under $2000. And E mount lens selection is phenomenal. For that reason I chose the a7 IV.
I'm entrenched in Nikon, I'd be getting a Z6III to pair with my Z9 (shooting events on two 45mp cameras is ooh boy a nightmare). I'm also on Fuji X and G mount. If I still liked Sony I'd get an A7IV. It's getting to the point where the answer is "get the system that has the glass you want." All of these camera manufacturers are making capable cameras.
I hopes for A7V next year that is 👌🏼
I got the R6mII a little over a year ago and it's the best camera body I've ever had. The RF lenses were the main reason for me to stick with Canon though I was absolutely open to switching to Sony or Nikon at the time. Only being interested in first party glass however, Sony's and Nikon's offerings don't get me excited. But that's only personal preference. I'm sure all modern cameras are very capable and most of the glass is as well. As long as you know what you're doing.
Waiting for A7 V in a few months. Hopefully Sony will give as a surprise like with a7 III …
the nikon is fantastic. Used one alongside my Z8 a couple weeks ago for a gig. photo and video quality were top notch. However, it loses because Nikon hasn't allowed any of the Z cameras to record video, even capped, to dual card slots.
The Sony A7IV does have 2 UHS-II SD card slots and allows for simultaneous recording to both cards at the same time.
Yes, cfexpress type A slots are always backwards compatible with SD, and the dual recording was mentioned
Sony has all the knowledge and know-how to make the A7V the best hybrid mid-range camera, but they've shown before that they like segregated markets.
A 33MP stacked (or semi) sensor is the bare minimum for the A7V.
i have the canon r6mkii and its been my alltime favorite camera, your review was one of the reasons i got one two years ago
I loved my A7iv until I watched this and now I need an A1... in reality the Sony is the best value when you look at native lens options and thats why I picked up the A7iv
The sony is not the best as the camera shutter can fail anytime.
Yes true neither nikon nor canon has 1.4 pro lenses nor they have amazing 3rd party companies zeiss n sigma support. This is exactly why i wanted to switch from nikon to sony when a7v gets launched. hope it dosent disappoint especially with skintones
It may be important to note the a7 iv can fit an sd card in its cfe type a bay. Thank you ☺️
I have (2) R6 Mark II’s. Absolutely love them.
I sold one to get R5, however, I miss the R6 Mark II every single day 🤓
Same here with rocking two R6MKII’s! I do wish it had stacked sensor to avoid background image distortion for fast moving objects, but maybe I just need to shoot even faster or just deal with it since that’s the nature of motorsports.
@@blucati1521 electronic shutter may show some rolling shutter, but using mechanical shutter should reduce it almost completely if you don't mind the reduction in continuous speed.
@@visionmauto I always think about going back to shooting with the mechanic shutter, but I know with how much I shoot I just don’t want my mechanical shutter to fail on me from overuse. 😣
The Sony was great 3 years ago but it’s clearly dated already for features. Still a fantastic camera for a hobby shooter like myself.
Had the A7iv. 4k overheating, garbage screen, sony colors, and issue with eye auto focus. Got the R6 II which was way better.
When the r6 came out o decided to see what was on the horizon with the a7iv, as the a7iii was long in the tooth. But when it finally came I was disappointed at its speed capabilities, as I was looking for an all around camera to balance speed and quality.
I held out and the r6ii came out which ticked the boxes, though I wish I could’ve afforded the r5, or now r5ii. But the r6ii has been amazing for me and I really like what the z6iii has to offer.
Im a nikon shooter thinking of switching to sony when they launch a7v. Even though i like nikon image quality. The lack 1.4 S line pro lenses is the big main reason. Hope sony dosent dissapoint with a7v skintones
Waiting for Z6 IV will have full stacked and sensor shield.Can't believe the Sony and canon don't have a top info lcd screen like Z6III, that's a deal breaker at these price points . It's needed and is so useful .The Canon and Sony FF body offerings @24mp look dated. They are old now. Can Canon realise this to compete with Z6III and bring top info screen to canon R6III. Z6III FF body is way ahead and superior. Not everybody wants 40 fps and 45 mp files on the R5II. If Canon just bring out the same form factors in the next R6III it will be very disappointing and boring .Canon really need to lift their game with the R6MkIII. Nikon trumped Canon with dropping superior Z6III all its fancy tech and is highlighting their relatively newish offering, the 2 year old R6Mk II FF body obsolete in looks and tech. The customers are winning again in these camera wars . There is nothing as good at 24mp and the latest features offered on Nikon Z6III right now at the price point of 2500USD especially the Z6III partially stacked tech minimising electronic rolling shutter problems found on almost every single camera today except for a Nikon Z8-9 and the expensive Sony global shutter offering the a9III.
Z6 iii and R6 mkii are great buys. It's only the Sony a7iv that's a big loser (lost by over 8000 checkmarks).
You need a shirt that says: “I use skittles preset” 😂
Amzing video as always. Poor Sony lost so many checkmarks😭😄
As a Canon cultist (not radical lol), I'd say if I were upgrading from a quite old Canon camera, I'd really take Nikon Z6 into consideration. The specs are so enticing.😯
31:21 Jared's right and wrong at the same time, you gotta learn to you viewfinder, it's more stabilizing, when you shoot, but speaking of getting you composition right it's not that important to my mind. When I started my journey as a photographer my first camera was Canon 600D aka Rebel T3i, it had a flip screen, which really helped me when shooting dancing crowds in clubs and weddings from above with my height of 5' 7".
Altough I'm not a frequent smartphone shooter I would have used the screens on my 600D and 6D more often if they were at least half as fast as my R6. And I see no difference in composition.
Looking more professional is, I guess, depends on people around you🤔
Those who design those cameras are real genius.
I grabbed the Canon R6ii from Canon on a refurb sale this summer for $1599. Passed the sniff test just fine.
Lol this vice comes out one month after I buy the R6II
Never been happier tho :)
I’ll keep rocking my Lumix S5ii
Patiently waiting for the R6 Mark III…
Problem with Canon is they don't have 3rd party lenses. And their glasses is overpriced.
The R6II is already very impressive. I don't know how it could be improved (for example, using a stacked sensor) without cannibalising R3 or even R1 sales.
@@mlai2546 I'm using the R6 II and bought the Sigma Art 14-24 2.8 and Sigma Art 50 1.4... work pefectly. In fact, the Sigma 50 is 99% as sharp as the RF 50 1.2 and the Sigma focuses 2x faster. I also got the EF 70-200 2.8 III IS and it's just as sharp/fast and accurate as the RF version and brand new I saved $1500. The whole "they don't have 3rd party lenses" stuff is a boring narrative pushed by TH-camrs. Canon's EF to RF adaptation is perfect. Sony and Nikon don't have this (as they lose speed/accuracy and quality).
@@shang-hsienyang1284 Canon always has that crimple hammer to prevent cannibalizing Higher end camera.
@@shang-hsienyang1284Exactly. Surely any improvement over the R6mkii will cannibalise the R3. Maybe it will almost match the R3 but have Clog2, but just be a smaller version of the R3 essentially. Kinda like what Nikon did with the Z9 and Z8.
He found it so hard to give nikon the check for the video category. Really had to clench his butt checks giving that check!
Only thing holding me back from Nikon is lack of redundant video recording. I get not being able to do it in raw. But the Z8 and Z6III should be able to record to both cards at the same up to 60fps.
Of course, the a7IV is four years old. Took Canon & Nikon a lot of years to catch up.
Nikon. With award winning Nikon Z-mount lenses it will be perfect.
How to shoot motion in low light. Duel base iso 3200. F1.4 lens. Shutter speed appropriate. Job done.
People love to talk and defend or promote what they spent their money on. In the end though on paper specs may seem significant but real world performance is extremely similar among these cameras. You can pretend Nikon has the best image quality of that Sony has terrible colors but if a decently skilled photographer took the same pictures with each and laid them out in front of even serious professionals few would accurately guess which camera captured what if the sample size were large enough to eliminate random guess success. Buy the glass and the features that appeal to you and don't worry about what anyone who is not buying your gear for you thinks about any of it.
Take three cameras and add in D850. 5dmk2 and using all cameras and take a photo of a scene. Will each camers make a useful print to edit and print. Yes. Now scenes with movement will be better with new cameras. Landscape and portraits can still be done with film cameras. Will nat geo refuse a photo just because it was taken by a 5dmk2 or d850. Nope.
shot canon for over 15 years, now its time for an upgrade. but i switched to the a 7 iv cause canon still hasent opened up the rf mount for third party lenses.
I changed my z6II for the r8 then the following month I changed to the r6II and I am happy to have changed, the Canon colors, the focus of the r8 and the r6II are unique, if Nikon had kept its colors it would not have changed but every time the The colors on the skin became very yellow, the recovery of the shadows is not good, the blacks are pasted, in Canon the colors, the focus, the RF and EF lenses are equally good, I'm sorry Nikon, you are no longer the same
Where does the Sony A9 II fit in compared to these cameras? Buying new, it’s obviously much more expensive, but for those of us who only buy used gear, it’s currently going for just a bit more than an A7 IV or an R6 II.
how come no Panasonic Lumix S5 II
Exactly
Jumped from Nikon D5600 to Nikon Z5 and it's like whole different world (in a good direction), so I can only imagine what Z6 III is capable for. I'm wondering why Nikon does not release a Zf specs into ergonomic body, Z5 II or similar
The Z6 III's dynamic range is ever so slightly worse than your 8 years old D5600 APS-C DSLR, according to PhotonsToPhotos' lab measurements. Let's assume it being roughly the same.
Also the sensor resolution is the same.
If these two image quality parameters matter for your type of photography, then the Z6 III doesn't have an advantage over an 8 years old APS-C camera.
I found the following lenses for RF mount:
7artisans(18) AstrHori(8) Canon(49) Great Joy(1) Irix(8) Laowa(38) Lensbaby(3) Meike(12) Mitakon(1) Nisi(8) Samyang(8) Sigma(2) Sirui(12) Tokina(1) TTArtisan(15) Voigtländer(3)
Am i wrong?
convinced jared polin is canon biased.
can you do a video about the pros and cons of 12 vs 14 bit? I have the r6mii and shoot in the electronic shutter 99% of the time. is there a significant difference?
and does it automatically change from 12 bit to 14 bit when you change it to mechanical shutter?
thanks
You can notice the difference in certain settings for video. If you have lots of a single color family in your Video or stills you will notice.
Since when you start using that necklace?? This is not just a question..
Nikon still is the value leader. Offering amazing features for the lowest price. I tested the 50mm 1.4 GM vs Nikon Z 50mm 1.8 S, the Nikon was sharper. That's the advantage Nikon has; their primes are Sony GM quality optics at 1/3rd or 1/4th the price. Great for video too. They have the best telephoto selection as well. Regardless, whatever you choose, they all have great glass and features. I simply pointed out Nikon's advantage in performance to price. One note, about redundancy for video, no camera has RAW redundant recording. Its still a shame that H.265 on the Z6 III doesn't have at least that, but no one every metions that no mirrorless consumer cameras have redundant RAW recording. Too much heat.
I imagine two CF Exspress B cards melting down a camera under $2500 us dollars if you were doing redundant video recording. Maybe future cameras around this price point will have more active cooling to make Redundant CF Express B video recording possible?
Maybe it is an ingrained habit, but I use my Nikon top LED display a lot, especially when on a tripod. Mainly for Battery life, shutter speed and f-stop. Thank you for the reviews, very interesting.
I think there is a space in Sony's line up for a third stacked sensor camera. One to compete in price with Nikon and canon. Will that be the A7V, only time will tell. At the very least I hope the A7V is partially stacked to make electronic shutter more usable. As for AF for wedding and event work the A7IV AF was amazing and never let me down.
Not sure if the market would appreciate, if now also Sony would start sacrificing
- resolution,
- noise and
- dynamic range
for less
- sensor read-out time.
I'm worried (when looking what happend to the Z6 III), that today new cameras are as if designed specifically to enjoy TH-cam mega influencers (who are very often sports or birding oriented), rather than to enjoy the 99% of non-speedy-action photographers. 99% do stills or just moderately slow people / events and animals. Only 1% do baseball bats or golf clubs in full swing, just to show off nuances in bending there 😉
@@tubularificationed I shoot around 60 weddings and 50 corporate events a year. In my 24 years working full time, silent shooting is up there as the biggest game changer improvements . I get shots with my A9 and A1 I would never get with a DSLR or a A7 series cameras. Clients LOVE the silent shooting indoors when a shutter click is most noticeable. Be that durning a wedding service or whilst photographing a keynote speaker on stage at a conference. The silent shooting on the A7IV is almost unusable, so at the very least they need to improve that, not just for stills but also for video. I think your 99-1% is also way off. Birding is huge, I can't walk around my local wildlife park without seeing at least 4-5 people out enjoying their hobby. I am lucky to own a camera like an A1 and A9 but Sony's only stacked options are 6K well out of the reach of most people. Nikon and Canon Both have way cheaper options for those who want to shoot fast or silent. Not sure why you mentioned resolution, Sony is more than capable of making a stacked 33mp sensor, the A1 is 50mp. I know it's not your thing, or mine but Sony do need a cheaper option for fast moving action.
My guess is that a7v will be 33 stacked with almost no penalty on dr.
Will R6 M2 be still a good option considering R6 M3 is going to be announced soon?
Mechanical shutters haven't always topped out at 1/8000. Have you looked at the Nikon D1, D1h and Canon EOS 1d? All three were 1/16000th with mechanical shutter. They also had a 1/500 flash sync.
Absolutely correct
I’m referring to full frame cameras from the main digital era that top out at 1/8000 mechanical
@froknowsphoto Yeah, that works. I had a similar issue with our course textbook for the intro course listing the incorrect top shutter speed and flash sync for mechanical focal plane (vertical travel) shutters.
So long waited for this 🤩 Thanks Jared!
Well, if money would not count and I would a buy a camera for many many years i would say the Nikon wins from these 3. I really admire the Sony A9 III cos of the global shutter, but thats way way more expensive then these 3. 99% sure I will buy the Canon R6 II, cos even 1,5 years older than the Z6 III it is not worse if it is even worse. All has SD card as 2nd, so if we shoot redundant all would have the same limitations for buffer/card write. And last but not least, sadly or not, but money is important and if I can save some bucks on the R6 II that means I can buy better glass and accessories what I can later use as well when I will change for an R5 II or whatever Canon will be with a global shutter in the near future(fingers crossed).
where is the Lumix S5IIX ? it's better than all of them in many aspects
lmao. This is photography channel.
All of them are great camera .
I love my A7iv I would never look back to Nikon again after going Sony
Sony so good
@@kamalyadav3024 for what I need which is photo and video it works for meZ
So having overpriced bodies with no Firmware update possibilities and terrible rolling shutter is better than Z6iii? I am not even talking about Video features. This video might be of your liking btw, spoiler alert, it's designed for Sony fans. th-cam.com/video/EYrJ_lMG6MQ/w-d-xo.html
@@Blitz_Shorts Absolutely. You mentioned 2 cons, out of which only rolling shutter is valid assuming you shoot action videos. Body price is balanced by richest third party lens market there is. I can list ten cons Z6 III side for each one, most predominantly no simultaneous dual card video recording, weak dynamic range, low res stills, terrible customizability and so on. It sure is feature packed though, so to each their own.
Also that video you linked lol
@@megamastah Answering your debates, I can mention large number of cons in A7iv, be my guest. Do Sony users still apply a fan on the body to let it record more than 10 mins without overheating? 4K video is essentially useless in Sony, while 6K 60p in Nikon has as low rolling shutter as 1080p. Sure you can find cons again on Nikon , but they are not life changing. Nikon has some solid affordable lens option with great value, and very strong professional lineup of lenses including wildlife lenses, which are unique only to Nikon. There are a number of 3rd party lenses too, including Tamron, Sigma, Viltrox etc., Nikon Z6iii uses CF express type B card and it's million times more reliable than 2 SDs, besides pro videographers always use external SSDs, weak dynamic range is overstatement and is proven to be minimal issue when you are exposing correctly(watch Gerald Undone video) , Low res stills? how many people will notice the difference between 24MP vs 33MP? If you have used Z6iii you can clearly see the huge number of functions you can assign to different combos of buttons. I am sure, Canon R6ii is essentially better camera than Sony A7iv, I just don't understand why are Sony users so obsessed on defending their brand.
Canon lense prices are the bigger question.
Correct. Canon's special offers for their camera bodies are poisoned baits to lure naive users into a system with an overpriced lens selection, which in turn rips them off the hard way.
Unfortunately, also Nikon does that (they had invested almost exclusively into the development of their expensive premium "S line" lenses, to leave users only with options being too overpriced for their actual needs).
A7M4 really should get a better screen
I own A7IV, if I had to start over again, still would go for A7IV. The lens selection is the best out there and that's what matters the most. Why would I have an R6II, R5II or any other Canon camera, when there is just a few lenses to choose from.
Because the RF lenses are stellar. I don’t know that there’s a better photographers lens on the planet than the RF 85mm 1.2.
A7IV is not a bad camera but it was just a small evolution from A7III. I actually upgraded from A7 III to A9 ;-)
I hope that gen V will be a revolution similar as III gen was …
@@StoicJason You can't tell the difference between 1.2 and 1.4, but you can tell the weight difference. Met a guy two weeks ago who had R5 and 85 1.2 and it is great, don't get me wrong, but I had my A7IV and 70-200 and it was much lighter, that he said he wished he had what I had. I wouldn't want to use any 85 prime for that event, it wasn't versatile enough
@@pawelmod3292 Yeah, but it was my first camera and I wanted the easier menu system and more resolution, just do I can crop if my framing was wrong or tilted. Helped me a lot. I don't crop anymore.
@@Sqeezy3 I can tell the difference in sharpness
I have the sony A7iv
Nikon lied about the "fastest readout of any camera under $4000". LOL. The z6 III has a slower readout/sensor than the R6 III for raw photos and video. Nikon fudged the numbers and you only get the faster 11ms readout when you shoot JPG. For raw and video it is slower than the R6 II (14ms on R6 II and 15ms on the z6 III). I know Tony and Chelsea Northrup showed this for video where the 4k60 on the Nikon had more rolling shutter than the Canon.
Jared Polin does real rolling shutter test. Not sure what Tony was doing in his test as no other reviewer has ever done a rolling shutter test like Northrup.
Very entertaining video! ❤ I found it exciting right to the end how Jared manages to make Canon come out on top after all! Price-performance winner! Very clever!!! 😂😂😂 Now I also know why Panasonic's S5ii wasn't allowed to take part. 😢 Otherwise Canon would not have climbed the winner's podium. In terms of video features, it outperforms all three others. If you consider the cost of lenses, and in my view these are much more relevant, Sony would do much better. All in all, I don't know whether a beginner without a digital camera would be able to do anything with this very technical comparison. They would also get on very well with the predecessors at an affordable price.
Did you maybe forget to mention something about the Sony card slot 1?
This video does not get a check mark!
Wow!
How interesting just yesterday i was looking all over youtube for such a review, only to find it today, Heheheheee, Once again Scricptures come alive, "Seek and you shall find".
Thanks.
I Think Currently if your Heavy on Video then the ZED 6 Mark 3 is the better option of the 3 but if your heavy on Photos then the R 6 Mark 2 is a great option cos of the price.
Personally i would love to have either the R6ii or the Zed 6iii
NB: Jared Please consider me for the next camera give away, Please please Please.... Thank you
Great Video as always!
I would go with Porsche...
the a7iv is older so its the worse all round. the only thing saving it is, cheaper native lens. unless you want to adapt cheaper lenses to the canon or nikon.
The only and yet the most important saving grace, to say the least.
Great video 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾🔥🔥🔥
My r6 mk2 broke within a year. Canon replaced mainbord. Allmost same period rf 24-105 autofocus issue, making strange noise. Replace autofocus. Used this combi barely, only one holiday and two shoots. Very bad experience. Keeping the r6 with my ef lenses. But switching to Sony due to this experience.😢
All i know is you will get good images with any of these cameras. I jus prefer canon i jus ignore the other brands
