Nikon. Their S glass is so sweet, and the Viewfinder actually gives the most natural experience. In terms of ISO, they are in a league if their own. I say this as a current Canon shooter.

If you want to jump between photos and video literally instantly, for hybrid coverage, the z6ii is brilliant.

[@joshuablack4888]

This is a great breakdown of all three camera bodies. I started out with a very cheap Dslr from canon and already have a couple EF lenses. Might stick with them when I upgrade thanks to their EF adapter for the RF body.

[@JasonLorette]

Replaced my D7100 with a Z6II...very happy camper. Very curious what the Z6III will look like if it ever surfaces. The Z glass is absolutely spectacular and when they start supporting the third parties like Tamron and Sigma I'll be even happier.

[@Sammoab]

This is very helpful! I shoot on a D500 and D5600. Looking to trade out the D5600 with the Z6II to move into the full frame space. I'm sure it will be better than anything I have now. Curious, did you use any adaptors on the Z body? I have some FX lenses want to figure out if it's worth it.

[@JasonLorette]

@@Sammoab I use the FTZ adapter currently, getting rid of my DX lenses but will keep the F mount FF lenses for now. My F mount 70-200 f4 works great on my Z6II with the FTZ.

[@jeremyk2740]

thanks! This is the same move I'll be making, Jarod's constant bashing of the Nikon AF has me a little leary of the purchase but I like so much else about Nikon and I already own some F mount FF glass. I've been so unhappy with my AF on my D7100 (my wife's D5200 misses fewer shots) that the Z6ii should definitely be an upgrade.

Would be great to see timelapse features included between all 3. Nikon z6ii excels here: lenses focus to infinity when switched on, can do holy grail in P mode with exposure smoothing and it renders a 4K timelapse file simultaneously whilst shooting raw photos and comples the render even if the camera loses power. That said can’t wait to see a z6iii hopefully next year with z9 Af system a resolution bump to complete with the others for moving subjects

[@NixxView]

There are many people giving reviews but once again your presentation is enjoyable to watch and you actually know what your talking about ... Big Props Jared

[@csc-photo]

Fair & informative video, you do the best side-by-side comparisons out there. Thanks Jared

[@albertoppunto]

Just got an R6 and I'm very happy with it. The main reason to get Canon was all the EF glass I already had. It did make sense to stick with it. I'll probably will be swapping to more RF glass in the future but I'm covered so far.

[@ktg619]

I bet most of those lenses work fine on the R6

[@tom_something]

I'm leaning in the same direction for the same reason. I want to upgrade from my 60D to a full-frame camera that shoots 4K with a bit more dynamic range than standard 8-bit, plus all the benefits of ten years of R&D, while keeping all my glass. Was looking at the EOS-R first, but the crop factor in 4K is kind of a dealbreaker. My widest lens is an EF-S, so it's going to have pretty much the same crop factor as I already have, but it's 10-22mm so it's still pretty wide. I was initially bummed to learn that there isn't (and might never be) a Magic Lantern build for that camera, but then I learned that Canon has taken almost all the ML features I use and made them native in the R6. Almost. I just learned from this video (which is now a month old) about redundant video recording. Guess Canon's been paying attention to the reviews.

[@stephencurah1059]

Thinking of getting the r6 too. I currently own the tamron 150-600 and old Canon 300mm lenses. I would be moving up from my old t2i

[@tom_something]

@@stephencurah1059 One thing to keep in mind. This will sound totally wrong at first but hear me out. The R6 has a slightly higher resolution than the T2i, but the T2i has a 1.6x crop factor. What this means is that the individual pixels on the R6's sensor a physically larger. Great for low-light performance, but that does mean fewer pixel's per mm of the image projected on the sensor itself. So if you're at maximum zoom, 600mm, and looking at the Moon, the T2i is going to give you more pixels of "Moon", and the R6 will give you fewer. It only really matters if you really need the extra resolution though. I'm very happy with my R6. I don't need the resolution for my work, at least not to the extent that I could justify the cost of switching brands or getting an R5.

I got this far! I am currently in the market for a camera of the caliber you've reviewed and I am leaning towards the R6 because I like the buttons, menu, feel, ease of use, autofocus, and the ability of 12 to 20fps.

[@skyrunr]

I can't wait to see the "I SHOOT NEF" fro shirts when the Z III's hit the market. Seeing all the other Nikon comments within these comments is VERY interesting. My Z7II JPG's are fantastic btw. I tested loading nearly identical Canon, Sony, and Nikon RAW images into LRC, all with neutral camera profiles, hit Control-U, and Nikon was the clear winner. The F4S lenses are fantastic, and I don't need as many lenses or primes with the Z system, because the zooms are so good.

[@andrewsloan634]

Great video! I'm just considering starting out and I've learned so much here, not just about the cameras.

[@theartofimaging618]

Lens Rentals conclusion after Nikon Z 7 teardown: "I’ll leave you with one last shot of the sensor / IBIS / frame assembly. Not a lot of air in this one, but a lot of really strong looking supports and connections. I’m impressed by the very solid construction of the chassis and IBIS unit. I’m impressed with the neat, modern engineering of the electrical connections." Sony was weak with IBIS mechanism. Is this still the case?

[@theartofimaging618]

"About a minute after the Z9’s announcement on Thursday October 28th, it just went insane,” said Gray Levett, owner of long-established London dealership, . “Raffi, our sales manager, and myself were in the office until just before midnight on the day, still handling orders. We saw the highest number of pre-orders in a single day in our history, and we’ve been in business for 35 years. It even eclipsed the D850, which was off the charts, and the D3.”

[@billpeters9266]

I got this far! I had some EF lenses from my old Elan 2. Jumped into digital with an SL3, and was going to go 90D but was talked into the RP to go ff and mirrorless. Never regretted it. Feel I’ve reached the limit with the RP, and since it works great with my EF mount lenses I’m ready now for the R6. Since I shoot wildlife my only concern is the 20mp sensor. But I think I can live with it by improving my technique and field skills.

[@alansach8437]

I make 20x30 prints from my r6 without breaking a sweat. If you need larger, Gigapixel works wonders. I can even shoot in crop mode, which is around 8 mpx., and have no trouble making good size prints.

As a landscape hobbyist photographer I think sticking with Nikon is what's best for me! Great image quality, like my wide angle adapted lens, not enough compelling features in the others to change.

As i asked in the reply to the previous person, I'm somewhat puzzled by this almost mythical "image quality". Just how is it superior to that from the Sony sensors? Perhaps you should have a look at Gavin Hardcastle's photos on flickr then see if the "quality" is lacking there. I'm not criticizing your choice, just puzzled about the "image quality".

[@realnikonlover6207]

I think the big issue is whether or not you want to trade out lenses, buy adaptors or upgrade across the board. I have dozens of F mount FX lenses some old some brand new and will slowly convert to Z format. Primarily because of the color rendition from Nikon and the familiarity of their menu layout and button arrays. Nothing wrong with either of the other brands. Its just what I am accustomed to after 35 years with Nikon.

[@pjg1309]

I already was shooting with a D850 and I love that camera. I have glass so I went with the z6ii. I was also hedging that a ikon was eventually going to come out with something that was better! While I do not need the z9 I do think that the road map is there for a D850 replacement sometime soon. Great work guys. I love watching you guys!

[@PyroMick]

[@michaeljoiner6801]

Awesome review. I am still a Nikon faithful with the z7ii. Sony and Canon do have some great offerings but I'm invested in F-mount glass so I have the F2Z adapter. Also, I like the feel of the Nikon which I think they did a good job of maintaining even going from DSLR to mirrorless. I was able to get a new z7ii and feel comfortable enough to go shot a wedding right away. If you've ever done weddings then you know that knowing your way around your gear is a big deal. Don't think you can go wrong with any of the cameras you reviewed but of course I am primarily a shooter of stills and not so concerned about the superior video capabilities of Sony and Canon. Thanks and peace and prosperity to you Fro bro. #igotthisfar

[@justinrstone]

I like my Z6 a lot. Autofocus accuracy may not be as good as the others, but I really only notice it being a problem when using the 2x teleconverter on my 70-200 or with my Sigma 24-70 2.8 using the FTZ. The Sigma just seems to "hunt" a lot more than it did with my DSLR. Seriously thinking about selling it because I find myself using the Z 24-70 f4 instead most of the time.

But now I‘ve got the 35/1.8 IS and the 50/1.8 RF versions and it just feels so well and the results are so good I am really tempted to get rid of my EF park and invest in fewer but absolutely superb RF lenses.

[@wolfgangwhyte5571]

The Z5 is probably the most underrated full frame on the market. Does it compete with pro bodies? No. But for everyone else, the Z5 is a truly great place to start. A Z5 with the 24-200mm Z lens gets you out the door for under two thousand US dollars and it's more than enough camera for 90% of the people watching this right now. And that's coming from a Canon R5 guy 😉

[@dsoprano13]

I would really like this camera but they crippled it just a little too much to make it entry level full frame. It's great that it has IBIS but video is cropped significantly. And then in burst mode you're only getting 4.5 shots/sec which is almost useless.

Because of the 4k60 with no crop, but because here in Portugal (southern europe) there is such a huge market for Canon. We've got pages and pages of gear used and great discounts for Canon that I haven't seen in the other systems.

[@Hodenkat]

It's fun to go back to reviews like this after these cameras have aged. Canon's lens prices are a huge drawback. Sony probably has the best lens options. The focus system on the Z6II is good for portrait, landscape, and street photography in my view. The R6 is probably the best for action, but be prepaired to shell out big bucks ($2k or more) for even their older EF lenses.

[@oasean]

The α7 IV's burst up to 10 fps raw is in drive mode Hi+, which-as unmentioned in this video [07:06]-conceals the present scene and displays the prior shot [1,2]. The fastest burst while viewing live, as to track critical action, is in drive mode Hi, which offers up to 8 fps [1,2]. But, while 10 fps raw, Hi+, is usable on subjects staying roughly on axis or predictable [3], it needs a CFexpress type A card [1]. A capacity 160 GB costs some 400 USD. Further, on SD card, the buffer drops from over 800 frames to some 25 frames [4]. Also, the clunky shutter likely wastes some resolution [5,6]. Anyhow, the benefit of either uncompressed raw or lossless compressed raw versus standard compressed raw is generally insignificant, as is 14 bits. The standard compressed file may impart more noise near the periphery of highlights that are basically blown [7,8], and may fall apart in post- if the exposure is raised over 3 stops [9,10]. The 14 bits versus 12 bits figures to add another 2 stops leeway [9], _if_ raw capture was near base ISO [11]. About video, Sony's imposition of Super35mm format-a 1.5x crop factor-on α7 IV's 4K 60 fps can complicate shooting [32:23]. It can require more lenses, lens changes, and gimbal rebalancing. And, on any lens, it increases the shallowest depth of field by about one stop, rendering f/2.8 like f/4. These differences can be critical if, let's say, using Sony's FE PZ 28-135mm f/4, an ENG zoom, on fullframe to duplicate an 18-90mm f/2.8 cine zoom on Super35mm. When shooting 4K 60 fps, one would get, after all, 28-135mm f/4 on Super35mm. - 1) Gordon Laing, "Sony A7 IV review: Photography vs A7 III vs EOS R6 part one", sec "A7 IV focus and burst speeds", KZbin @ _/watch?v=8Mil4Jn51Fc&t=957s,_ 21 Oct 2021. 2) Ryan Mense, "Sony Alpha 7 IV review: The best camera Sony ever made. . . almost", _PetaPixel,_ 21 Oct 2021. 3) Jason Vong, "Sony a7 IV-the upgrade we've been waiting four!", sec "Autofocus performance is so fast!", KZbin @ _/watch?v=eVvUs9lFatY&t=444s,_ 21 Oct 2021, indicates simply "10 fps" while showing footage of α7 IV's monitor during burst with subject walking on axis toward camera on tripod, which footage to me looks compatible with display either of present scene or of prior shot. 4) Dan Watson, "Sony A7IV | 20 best & worst features on Sony's latest mirrorless camera", KZbin @ _/watch?v=oeZQzYJWbvE&t=496s,_ 29 Oct 2021. 5) Dan Watson, "Sony A7IV | 20 best & worst features on Sony's latest mirrorless camera", KZbin @ _/watch?v=oeZQzYJWbvE&t=106s,_ 29 Oct 2021. 6) Sony's quieter shutters were introduced in 2015 with the α7R II, whereby Sony advertises, "The new shutter's braking mechanism cuts mechanical front/rear curtain vibration by about 50%."

[@RobWillox]

As nearly everyone, including Jared, is commenting all 3 cameras are great options if in the market at the moment. As a Canon 80D user with all efs glass to match switching to either the R6 or A7 IV would be the consideration as although, I believe efs can be used with R6, not optimal as would also require an adapter for lenses whether efs or ef. And, that might be what would make me lean toward Sony as not only does the adapter add another 200/300 to the cost of the R6 to use ef glass, rf is also considerably more expensive. As more an enthusiast/semi user than a professional, and everyone always making the point about the best glass you can afford, the Sony starts to look more an attractive option both with native and third-party glass, if you were going to switch/move/upgrade.

This video is aimed at peeps who are "just starting out" and IMHO to invest 2.5k in any camera when starting out is just nuts, and then to pick one which has such a low FPS rate is just insane. Do you really think this is such a huge upgrade to what you already have, really? Wow!

[@harryvuemedia5106]

@@vickosis if you want high FPS, get an a9. I honestly could care less about the duo Type A card slots because those memory cards are already expensive enough. No one today will need 10 fps for non-sports and wildlife shots.

[@vickosis]

​@@harryvuemedia5106 I too don't need it, I was merely trying to point out that the A7 IV doesn't appear all that to me for a camera with such a hefty price tag, that's all. I was a Canon shooter (AP-C) and I was happy with my gear until I decided it was time to go full frame. Now back then it kinda made sense to keep my half doesn't lenses and upgrade my body, but I just didn't like the Canon full frame offering and I couldn't justify the huge price for the R6 which I fancied, so I looked around and coincidentally discovered the Nikon Z system. Oddly enough the more peeps like Fro started bashing it, the more I got interested. I seem to be a sceptic especially when it comes to all these vloggers and after weighing out the options I found an inexpensive Z 6 in mint condition to try out. Never looked back. Nikon is the best camera manufacturer for me and they are head and shoulders above everyone except for this poxy AF which the likes of Sony currently have an edge, but it's already very close and Nikon AF is already extremely usable and improving all the time. My short experience with the Z 6 was enough to persuade me to upgrade to the later model during last years Nikon sales. I didn't really need it if I'm honest, but I got it for about 400 bucks cheaper than it is today, which was a huge saving on top of what is already the best value for money camera on the market. Still, obviously I wouldn't recommend anyone starting off to go for a Z 6II or equivalent, that's just crazy IMHO. I'd probably recommend an good APS-C camera or if they have money to burn an entry level full frame and for sure spend money on a good lens or two instead.

And if you have mostly manual focus older lenses, you can be agnostic in brand of camera vs lenses. $20 dummy adapter. It’s only the more modern AF lenses that make use of the adapter AF for Nikon.

As someone who has been shooting for 7-8 years with a Canon T5i (and shot on a Canon 6D for a few months for a previous job) I had been waiting for both of these camera's to come out before making my decision of which system to invest in when making the jump to full frame. For me, I am leaning towards the Sony with my main deciding factors being the higher mp and all of the third party lenses available. Other more minor things include no record limit, the digital hot shoe to pair with sony mics without cords, full hdmi port, and the ability to switch from photo to video modes and keep the settings (not sure if the R6 does that). It's definitely not an easy decision though.

[@razafiarisonmichael4421]

Sony is good for all use cases but the body is a bit priced like canon. Personally, I'd go with sony for low light photograpy and videography because of the BSI sensor, and the lenses choices. For landscape Nikon colors, contrast, weather sealing are the best (I think they also use sony sensors). For portraits, I'd go with any of them, even the RP does a very good job for portraits

I have been considering all three cameras reviewed by Jared Polin: The Nikon Z6 II, Sony A7 iv, or the Canon EOS R6. I'm trying to decide between three cameras. My main concern is the autofocus issue with the Nikon. Pardon my lack of knowledge, but can firmware updates improve Nikon's Z6 II Autofocus system?

[@aaroneliawahl6393]

Well for the firmeare it already has improved, but don’t expect it to be going too far. I shoot the Z6ii professionally and it's a fantastic camera. A few years ago I never coud have imagined that cameras this good could be an option for entry level photographers pricewise. I have to be honest the Z6ii is not top level for focusing fast moving objects and people. But the AF system is still super accurate. It highly depends on wheather that is an issue for you. For me it is not for 99% of the time. If you get yourself a Nikon get the 40 mm f/2 and slowly some other nice glass and you will be happy and get great results.

I have owned Sony Digital Cameras since the 90's. I love my AX53 Camcorder. But I have purchased two Canon R6 Bodies and 3 RF Glass Pieces that just work.

I moved from DSLR to mirrorless system from Nikon since last year with my Z6 (My previous was D750 ) As we all know that NIKON in mirrorless system technology still has a lot of work to do to follow SONY and CANON, especially in auto focus system but after the Z9 was introduce. It seem to be a good sign for people who use NIKON. I hope in 2 or 3 years NIKON will release the Semi Pro or FX entry level camera that has a processor which same or a bit close with Z9 to fix the weakness on camera focus system. I was thinking many time that shall I move to other's until Z9 was released. Therefore for me I can wait for that, like a football fan that is not to be easy to switch the team because that's in our blood. Oh. forgot to mentions I use my Z6 for hobby to take event, street, portrait and some landscape.

[@michaelcitrigno3398]

Another great comparison review! I was a Nikon shooter for the last 25+ years but just recently switched over to Canon. I loved my D500/D850 combo, but the new mirrorless S lenses where a step up from anything in the F-Mount that I had in my kit. So I took the plunge and slowly migrated over to the Z6 then a Z7II and Z6II. I had to trade back a Z6II to go back to the D850 for faster subjects but still not happy with the Z7II AF performance outside of stills. I wanted a fully mirrorless system and I held out as long as I could but really until a shot with an R5. That was it for me! Jared, you are right that Nikon makes a great sensor and probably still the best but I feel the Canon is so close that the better AF and RF glass has done the trick for me. The Z9 looks to be a sensational body but with all the D5/D6 and remaining DSLR converts now it would be a year before I would even get a preorder fulfilled and not sure the Z9 $5500 price is really right for me over the R5 $3900 price. The truth is that all three of these systems capture outstanding images and I think we are in for a sensational next few years as the mirrorless bodies and glass become more prevalent.
