The Nikon D850 is the most recent high-end DSLR on the market. Not only does it include interesting updates such as a new 45MP BSI sensor but it also inherits some of the company’s top technology such as, for example, the AF system seen on the D5 and D500. With this new model, Nikon’s goal was to merge the quality of a high resolution sensor and the speed of a sports camera into a single, high performance body.

But how does it compare to the innovations in technology seen on today’s mirrorless cameras? We can try to answer this question by looking at one of the most recent and powerful models, the Sony A9.

Whenever a new flagship camera is announced, it is only natural to want to compare it to flagships from other brands. In this case, we’ll be looking at the ten main differences between a rather unlikely mirrorless duo: the Sony A9, a high-end sports camera that was just announced a few days ago, and the Panasonic Lumix GH5, one of the best hybrid stills/video cameras on the market. Both are flagships in their own right but target very different audiences as we’ll soon discover. Let’s get started!

The Sony A9 is the latest mirrorless camera from Sony and it promises to be a DSLR killer thanks to its stunning continuous shooting speeds, autofocus and blackout-free viewfinder. The Fujifilm X-T2 is one of the most popular mirrorless products and despite not sporting impressive new technology, it offers excellent image quality, one of the best autofocus systems on the market and excellent ergonomics and ease of use thanks to its retro design.

Despite some obvious differences like the aesthetics and the sensor size, the two cameras do have some things in common like 24MP resolution, an advanced hybrid autofocus system and 4K video capabilities. And despite what you may think, they both target pro photographers and both companies have launched a professional support service for its users.

However, if we dig below the surface, it becomes clear that there are some significant differences worth talking about, not least the huge gap in price. Curious to know more? Then let’s get started!

We usually stick to mirrorless products on this website but today we decided to make an exception since some are already calling the Sony a9 a true “DSLR killer”. Granted, this statement might be an expression of enthusiasm more than anything else, as we have yet to see how this camera performs in the so-called real world, but there’s no question Sony is targeting sports photographers who have been long-time Canon or Nikon shooters.

But before thinking about the red and yellow brands, why don’t we take a look at how the a9 compares to Sony’s own DSLT system, and more specifically, the recently announced a99 mark II?
