Update: our full G9 vs E-M1 II comparison is now online!

Up until recently, the best way to summarise the differences between Olympus and Panasonic, the two main Micro Four Thirds players, was to say that one brand focuses on stills while the other targets hybrid shooters and filmmakers. The latest flagship cameras released between the end of 2016 and the beginning of 2017 were the latest proof of this: the E-M1 mark II is designed for sports and wildlife photographers while the GH5 is Panasonic’s ultimate weapon for professional video.

Despite being part of different camera systems, the Sony A7r mark III and the Nikon D850 have two important characteristics in common.

First are their full frame sensors which are currently the best the market has to offer. They are based on the same BSI technology and lack an Anti-Aliasing filter to maximise sharpness.

Released in 2015, the Sony A7r mark II was a game changer in the mirrorless segment: it debuted with one of the best 35mm sensors to date, a fast phase detection AF that was the first to offer decent compatibility with DSLR lenses, and excellent 4K capabilities. Now, two years on from the release of the A7r II, we meet the A7r III which brings many welcome improvements to image quality and overall usability.
