Nikon Z7 vs Sony A7R III – The complete comparison

Updated on: March 4th 2020

The Z7 marks the start of a new chapter for Nikon. It and its sibling, the Z6, inaugurate the second mirrorless system from the brand, the first with a 35mm format sensor and a large Z mount that Nikon has designed to prepare its cameras for the next generation of full-frame lenses.

The Z7 is also Nikon’s answer to the Sony A7R mark III. They share many characteristics including a similar sensor resolution, 5-axis stabilisation, hybrid autofocus, 4K video, as well as numerous other things.

Fujifilm X-T2 vs X-T3 – The complete comparison

Updated on: March 4th 2020

The evolution of the X-T series, the most popular line-up of Fujifilm cameras, has been an interesting one to observe. The brand has managed to narrow the gap between itself and the competition with each iteration, while preserving that unique retro design that makes these cameras so appealing in the digital era.

While the second generation X-T2 brought important updates to image quality and autofocus, the third generation X-T3 takes the series to new heights in the video department. It is definitely Fujifilm’s most advanced and complete camera to date, and I would also add that it is a “surprising” product because it ventures into territories we weren’t expecting.

Fujifilm X-T100 vs X-T20 – The complete comparison

fujifilm xt100 vs xt20-1

If you’re a beginner on a budget but find yourself spellbound by the retro-styled mirrorless cameras that inundate the market, Fujifilm might have the solution for you. The X-T100 is the company’s least expensive interchangeable lens camera in the X-T series, and it comes with a feature usually reserved for the more expensive models: a built-in electronic viewfinder.

There is another camera within the X-T range however that bears an uncanny resemblance to the X-T100 and that’s the two-year-old X-T20. Given that the latter can be found for cheaper than its original retail price these days, it is logical to wonder how the two cameras compare. Their outward appearance certainly isn’t enough to go on, so we’ll have to dig deeper below the surface to uncover all the main differences. Let’s begin!

Panasonic GX85 vs GX9 (GX80 vs GX9) – The complete comparison

The Lumix GX85 has been our camera of choice for product shots and recording video reviews since we bought it in 2016. Its compact design, intuitive interface, video quality and in-body stabilisation system work together to provide the ideal combination of features and portability.

Of course it isn’t without its flaws, which for me has more to do with things that used to be on its predecessor, the GX7, but were removed such as a better grip and the tilting EVF.

When the GX9 was announced, I was happy to see that some of the design characteristics I missed had made a reappearance. Although Panasonic officially considers the GX9 the successor to the larger GX8, we feel that the compact design makes it a more natural successor to the GX85 instead.

Sony A7 III vs A7R III – The complete comparison

Since its release, the A7 III has rapidly become one of the most popular mirrorless models, not only within the E-mount range but also industry-wide. The reason is simple: it packs great quality and performance at a competitive price.

The A7R III hasn’t reached the same level of popularity as the A7 III but it isn’t far behind. It has experienced the same success as its predecessor – which was game-changing for Sony at the time of its announcement – but also improves upon its weak points, making it a serious contender on today’s market.
