So to a wedding photographer, this is what the lens roadmap of Sony, Canon, Nikon and Fujifilm (APS-C) looks like: That’s why I need lenses that are either fast primes or fast zooms.

Shallow depth of field and dreamy bokeh.

Shooting wide open, I expect from a lens 3 things: My image priorities are to capture moments and expressions at the wedding. But Nikon is quickly catching up, and may even surpass Sony in the next few years in what they offer.įor example, I’m a wedding photographer. They have at least 5 years ahead of the competition. I’m sure they looked at Fujifilm and noticed which way the wind was blowing. Sony was smart and got into the MILC game early, well before the others even put their shoes on. That’s because, Nikon is SPRINTING to Catch Up to Sony Nikon, go and copy Canon and get onto that dual pixel autofocus! You can do it! Nikon does a lot of things worse than Sony, but all these faults are features that can still be fixed. That’s why Nikon has a ChanceĪnd can take the lead in the mirrorless full frame race! You know where small and light camera bodies makes sense? Again, APS-C. Give me a bigger hand grip any day, like Nikon and Canon cameras. Sony thinks they’re doing everyone a favour - which is nice, I like small and light - but it’s not comfortable to hold in the hand. Know which lenses do have OSS? oh that’s right, those designed for APS-C.Īnd Sony has this hangup where they have to stick everything into small and compact bodies. The only full frame lenses with Optical SteadyShot (OSS) are all F4 lenses, like the 16–35mm F4. Think about it: they even stopped bothering trying to put stabilisation into their lenses. And they’ve already built all these expensive systems around the E-Mount, which have pretty much hit the physical limit of lens design. That capable full frame sensor of theirs can’t move. I don’t think Sony knows which direction to take in the next few yearsĪnd I think they know they’re basically screwed in the MILC game and focus on the PS5 and video games.

So unless they physically change the sensor or all the mounts and lenses that they’ve ever made, it’s the end of the line for Sony. Tamron 28–75mm f/2.8 - the bestselling 3rd party lens

They designed a lot of amazing lenses: 85mm F1.8, 24mm F1.4! And they successfully kept up the charade for as long as they could - and did an incredible job innovating, despite their circumstances! Quick, convince the public this is what we meant to do all along!” Sony: “No one was supposed to like full frame! Everyone laughed at our NEX cameras so we made the A7 for a laugh! It was only supposed to segment the market so people would buy the smaller, slimmer APS-C cameras. APS-C all the way baby!Īnd so when they released the first Sony A7 way back in 2013, and the people loved it, that’s when they probably panicked. I’m quite certain they were instead supposed to be drinking buddies with Fujifilm, Nikon DX, Samsung NX and Canon EF-M. I’m pretty sure Sony had no intention of making full frame cameras. That’s because: Sony Cameras Were Originally Designed for APS-C ONLY, NOT Full Frame Is the small mount a poor design choice, or perhaps just a misstep? I say neither. You’ll notice something really rather odd: Take a look at the full frame sensor on any Sony Alpha camera. The Sony IBIS sucks so much, you might as well not have it. This is most noticeable in the Sony 5-axis In Body Image Stabilisation (IBIS). Here’s what happened: Sony Handicapped Themselves with the E-MountĬrazy right? Problem is, it’s never going to get better. And that’s because it all comes down to which direction Sony decided to take way back in 2010, when they couldn’t possibly have foreseen the consequences. It is their similarities that determines where they go into the future. Nikon is better at some things: grip and handling, menu layout, monitor resolution, and touch screen.īoth are similar in size, and both suck at image stabilisation. Sony is better at most things: autofocus, low light performance, native lens range, 3rd party lens support, dual card slots, exposure compensation dial, video, customisation, and battery life. Even more similar than most photographers would think.Īs a wedding photographer the Sony A7III and Nikon Z6 are both reliable choices for my purposes. The Sony A7III and Nikon Z6 mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras (MILC) are really similar.
