Nikon Z6 III vs Canon R6 Mark II vs Sony a7 IV: Which Camera SHOULD You Buy?

[@froknowsphoto]

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.

[@truthseeker6804]

im sure the Nikon doesn't record video to both cards

[@EhsanBhowanaProduction]

i am using sony a7iv and still happy with this bad boy

[@sancza1]

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

[@RealThore]

@@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.

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.

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.

[@tstanley01]

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.

[@nickwilliams7867]

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.

[@3DJunkieDude]

Nikon Z mount with the Fringer EF-Z adapter allows you to mount EF glass from Canon, Sigma, & Tamron onto a Z mount Nikon. Even though I have the Nikkor Z 100-400S for my Z8, I love being able to put my Canon EF 100-400L MkII lens on the Z8. It really is the best of both worlds! The longer Canon waits to let 3rd party lens makers design and build for the RF mount, the more people are going to start gravitating to Sony & Nikon.

[@shadow479]

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.

As someone who was seriously considering and thinking of buying the 7A4 before the end of the year, this clip has stirred up a lot of things in my mind and making me reconsidering big time 🤔🤨🤔... I actually came from Canon (APS-C) before switching to Sony for my 1st full frame camera mainly because Sony was getting lots of positive reviews and also a plus factor (still) being the fact there are way more lens options for the Sony mount, hence you have more options for every budget. Now I'd still not go to Nikon mainly because I don't like the fact you have so little lens options unless you stick with Nikon obviously, but I like to have the choice between native and 3rd party lenses. Jared briefly mentioned a prossible 7A5 which could come out, or not, there's no info at all about that I believe. Still I keep in mind, it was somewhat an unfair comparison though one can say, it was obvious from the start the Sony would be thrashed by the other 2. If you don't have any of these 3 brands or are new to full-frame I get the outcome of the tests, but in my case, I should not have watched the video 🤣 ...

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.

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.

[@RealThore]

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.

That, will be very challenging and even more interesting to see which is the best. If it's alright to point out also that these camera will be more or less similar to one and another, perhaps buyers will then look into other factors such as 3rd party lenses, ease of warranty claims, after sales service, camera accessories etc etc. Q1 2025, more new cameras coming in.

Z6 iii and R6 mkii are great buys. It's only the Sony a7iv that's a big loser (lost by over 8000 checkmarks).

[@natedagreat90]

If your camera caps at 1/8000 just get a variable filter and you can't shoot at f0.5 if you please

[@random_dev]

Ok so now, I think a lot of us want to see the same video but with Z8 and R5 II !

[@jklbd4815]

Petapixel recently released a video comparing these two along with the Sony one

[@pawelmod3292]

Waiting for A7 V in a few months. Hopefully Sony will give as a surprise like with a7 III …

[@ПазарджикДевет]

Well to be honest, they don't need to reinvent the wheel.. slap a faster sensor, remove the 4k@60 crop, add that AI chip that no one needs, but everybody wants, and they are good to go. I shot A7IV for two years as a wedding videographer and honestly I would've kept it, if it wasn't for that nasty crop at 4k60.

[@Gabe731]

Can you do a video on "compact" full frame cameras? Eg. Sony A7CII

[@TRobBrownPhotography]

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.

[@VishwasRavindran92]

Absolutely correct

[@froknowsphoto]

I’m referring to full frame cameras from the main digital era that top out at 1/8000 mechanical

[@TRobBrownPhotography]

@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.

[@xXxLLIaMaHxXx]

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🤔

[@framed-tales]

Hi @Jared, Nikon Z8 (fully stacked sensor) is selling for $3496, does it have lower scan rate than Nikon Z6III under $4000?

[@stepheneckert4006]

Nikon’s official wording when z6 III came out, because MSRP of z8 is $4k, not including sale price. Z8 is much faster around 4ms

[@framed-tales]

@@stepheneckert4006 thanks for the info

[@marqman05]

Technically yes, maybe they should switch it to under $3000

[@kingghidorah8106]

​@@stepheneckert4006 4 miliseconds is very good, a full frame mirrorless shutter takes 6 miliseconds from when the curtains start exposing the sensor to when they finish the traveling (not adding the obnoxious long time where they close, move down before exposure, and close again and open after exposure which is roughly 10-20 miliseconds)

[@lsaideOK]

Which allows for blackout free shooting with the z8. In my brief handling of both, the z8s AF is faster, surer, and stickier particularly with off-brand lenses.

[@TheSeniorGolfMan]

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.

[@JHuffPhoto]

When I purchased last spring the Z6III was not yet available. I compared the a7IV and the R6II. For me either one would have gotten the job done. I did like the fact that the Sony has better 3rd party support but I ended up going with the Canon because the ergonomics felt much better to me. The camera's abilities far exceed mine so if I make bad photos it is my fault and not the camera's. I went with the 24-105 F4 L lens which is a good start for general use but I am about to start looking at some faster glass. Not sure I will go with L glass as I am a hobbyist and not making money with my gear but it would be nice to have some faster glass.

[@Jgatti41]

Just the cost of R mount lenses and lack of third party lenses keeps me away from Canon. I use my Sony A7Iv mostly for portraits but have tried some air shows. I still prefer my OM-1 over the Sony most of the time. I can carry more, get more reach and so much lighter.

[@JohnCederdahl]

Waiting for R6 mark 3...

[@alexvillafranco497]

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

[@sandrahildebrand4475]

What about glass selection???

[@Ericbjohnston5150]

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.

[@Democratiser]

I recall seeing somewhere that in 2021, the 5DIII was the most commonly used camera by winning photography competition entries. For stills photography the newest cameras are not a massive improvement in the real world for most people. That is why I focus on video specs and prefer the S5IIX over these.

[@radimpalus]

Why did You omit the Lumix S5II in the comparison?

[@pawelmod3292]

He is comparing the most popular cameras ;-)

[@tomekeziowski4293]

What about the autofocus in z6III with F-mount lenses. Is it finally working properly or is it still crap. I shoot action quite often.

[@ItzSlushie]

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.

[@radimpalus]

Did I miss it or wasn't there any mention about dynamic range? This is actually where the SONY outperforms the competitors by 1 stop, which is a lot. For me this figure is one of the most important, as every time you shoot outdoors on a sunny day You have to deal with pushing the highlights down and the shadows up. And missing 1 stop can mean burnt skies or more baked shadows. I own the A7 IV and wouldn't trade it for any of the two mentioned in the comparison. I shoot events, commercials, documentarie, etc. on it and I'm very happy with the results. Both stills and video are very detailed with great dynamic range. The S-log 3 gamma is great for grading and much better than what the competition offers in the other cameras. Colorists often suffer when they get Nikon footage for grading. I agree that the Sony A7 IV is not ment for sports - You can use it, but the competition will offer You better value there. But SONY has a different camera for this purpose = a9 III, which in the megapixel count and production date would be the best fit for this comparison.

[@DenDrees]

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.😢

[@TimLucasdesign]

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!

[@sumitino]

2k for the R62 is a fantastic deal. It took the original R6 forever to get to that price...

[@Democratiser]

I reckon LUMIX S5IIX is the best unless you shoot fast action or wildlife etc.

[@TimLucasdesign]

@@Democratiser That's the way I would have gone if I didn't already own Canon lenses.

[@aliciapaxton1346]

Hi Jared do you do a tutorial of Nikon D780? I can't find it I can find a story about it coming out.

[@stepheneckert4006]

That camera came out right around when the world shut down from the pandemic (early 2020) so we never reviewed it along with most people. Also, everything was transitioning into the mirrorless world and it was odd for nikon to go backwards 2 years after the z6/z7 were launched. Same reason you wont find many D6 reviews online

[@aliciapaxton1346]

@@stepheneckert4006 I have a pretty badly looked after d3200. I'm only starting, I went to a class last year, teacher really didn't teach me much. This year's teacher seems better.... and wanting to upgrade but not to mirrorless yet. I liked his (Jared) videos. They are easy to understand, there's so much info everywhere yet so many are too hard to understand lol. Thanks for the reply take care 😊

What rescored this video?

[@denniemullete]

i used Z6ii and never open the port door because i never used it on video, just photo alone, cuz that is my job, photographer. But still, the door rubber is loose, can not fit anymore ... and this is happen to all Nikon camera that i ever used ... but my eos R until now even i use on video and i must open and close the rubber port door still in tack, still good, not loose like Nikon

[@shortypictures]

For a Wildlife Photographer - Nikon all day long! They have the best lens setup for wildlife.

[@mcmoose64]

I am currently weighing up these 3 cameras . It will be the Sony for me because of the availability of 3rd party glass . My dilemma now is whether to go for the A4 , a mint used OG a9 , or hang out for the A5.

[@benoittissier58]

If you shoot sports, don’t consider the A7iv. Subject detection and tracking in the EVF are great but many pictures are out of focus. The best hit rate is at 6 FPS and fixed spot AF, that is very limiting.

[@mcmoose64]

​​@@benoittissier58. Mainly wildlife and travel/landscape. If I can find the right one , I will probably go the a9. I currently shoot a 5diii and a7dii. Any of they guys will be a big improvement in terms of auto focus performance.

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

[@tubularificationed]

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.

[@saibhargavamanda1062]

I do feel ZF is the most relavant camera for the most of the market. ZF in a regular body style as Z5ii is enough to capture a significant market

[@lukasf5256]

[@El-Rico]

I want to buy the Canon for event photography; I borrowed a colleague's R6ii and it blew my Z9 away with the stickyness of the AF in low light; The Z9 AF was all over the place except on my subject.

[@gourami7]

@@El-Rico I'm a little surprised to hear this, I thought the Z9 was grear at pretty much everything

[@kovyfra5987]

In very low light situation with the Z9, activate the starlight view mode in the custom settings menu d11 (firmware V5) It will help AF tracking a lot. Note that this will decrease the shooting frame rate though (the darker the scene the lower the frame rate). Also, the live histogram is not available in this mode. Eventually, the max aperture of your lens also has a big impact on low light AF performance. Consider f/1.2, f/1.4, f/1.8 prime lenses, or at minimum a f/2.8 zoom.
