Hi! I’m deep into the rabbit hole of choosing my first digital camera, and I’m stuck on the r7 and z5ii. Right now the r7 goes for 1400 euros and the sigma 18-50 for 540. The z5ii is more expensive at 1700 for the camera and 800~ for the 24-120 f4. I like that the r7 has greater range due to the crop and also a higher mp count, but I also like that the Z5ii has better image quality and low light performance. I also think Nikon as a company and their lenses are more interesting. If I could buy the r7 with the Nikon 180-600 life would be great, but they only have the 100-500 which is very expensive and the 200-800 which can’t really out resolve a 32mp crop sensor. Should I be considering the Z50II as well? Someone please push me in the right direction here

I've decided to upgrade from my Sony a7, but I'm cut up on whether to go with Canon or Nikon, I mainly do landscape photography with sometimes doing street photography. I also want to get into more night time photography. I can get either at a similar price with the z7ii being a little bit cheaper, I've heard the autofocus on the z7ii isn't the best but I didn't think that would affect me since i only shoot photos and not videos

So I am reaching the end of my Bachelor's education and want to begin a career in motorsport and automotive photography. I was hooked ever since I found out you can make a living taking pictures of race cars. I want to set myself up for the next few years and have a reliable camera that I can grow with as I have with my Sony a6500. I have very few native Sony lenses, so I am not worried about moving to a new brand, but more about which one I want to jump into. I have some Nikon glass as I shoot lots of film on my F5 and have been adapting that to the Sony. My budget is $3,000 (tax included) and I've settled for the Canon R5 or Nikon Z7ii. Which of these cameras would suit the fast-paced and often dirty conditions that can come in Motorsports?

I am looking to upgrade from a Canon 70D. I don't take videos. I mostly take portrait and landscape. I think the r7 would be a nice upgrade?

Should I upgrade to a full frame camera? If so, is the z5 a better choice than the r8?

I'm would like the camera to have reliable auto focus as well

Can anyone give me some advice, thanks :)

Hi there.

I was just wondering which camera is really better for my use case. I would like to take high-quality HDR stills, but also be able to occasionally record in 4K. I couldn't really find any good source on how good the timelapse feature is on the EOS R5, but the 8K recording and bigger sensor size made it very attractive to me. How's the battery life on both of these devices? I heard the R5 has a relatively short battery and has overheating issues, whilst the Z7 has excellent battery life with both stills and video capture. I really have difficulty choosing between the two of them, could someone help me out? 😅

Hi there!

I am a hobbyist photographer, shooting wildlife, portraits, street, and anything with action. I currently have a Canon R7 with RF 100-500 mm f/4.5-7.1 and Rf-S 18-150 mm f/3.5-6.3.

I’d like to save up for a full frame camera down the line. I’m not satisfied with the AF performance of the R7, particularly for birds. I also want better low light performance and better bokeh with nicer lenses for portraits.

I’m considering either sticking with the Canon system and getting a R5 or R5 Mk ii with Rf 24-70 mm f/2.8 or ditching the system (sell the Canon) to go to Nikon Z8, and getting the 180-600 mm and several prime lenses.

I love the lens options on Nikon but not sure how its AF will stack against the R5 and R5 Mkii for wildlife photography. One additional benefit would be that my wife shoots a ZfC already.

Please let me know if you’d like to opine!

I do mainly landscape, street, and indoor events. Wildlife a bit
