INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
After what's seemed like months of leaks, rumors and speculation the Nikon Z7 full-frame mirrorless camera has finally arrived
Featuring an array of tempting features, and with Nikon claiming this to be the company's most important launch since the original Nikon F
the two cameras head to head, comparing them across a variety of key categories, from resolution to performance and beyond.Nikon Z7 vs Sony
Alpha A7R III: resolutionBoth the Nikon Z7 and Sony Alpha A7R III use cutting-edge back-illuminated sensor designs, with the Z7's 45.7MP
yet to fully test the sensor in the Z7 we're not expecting it to be a million miles away in performance from the 45.7MP full-frame sensor in
gets 493 phase detection AF points covering 90% of the image area, while the A7R III has 399 phase detection points over 68% of the image
We're yet to put the Z7's autofocus system through its paces, having only tested it briefly prior to launch, but the Alpha A7R III does
have one clever trick up its sleeve: EyeAF
A huge benefit for portrait and social photographers, EyeAF finds your subject's eye, locks on and will maintain focus should it move
Clever stuff.Nikon Z7 vs Sony Alpha A7R III: burst shooting speedThe Nikon Z7 can shoot at a fast 9fps, bettering the D850's 7fps burst
Alpha A7R III have 0.5-inch electronic viewfinders (EVF), with both featuring high-resolution 3.6-million dot displays and fast 60p refresh
There are some subtle differences however, with the EVF on the Alpha A7R III featuring a magnification of 0.78x compared to the Z7's
0.80x, while Nikon boasts that its own optics have been used for even great clarity
Will you notice the difference In isolation, probably not, but if you were to compare them side by side then the Z7's EVF just has the
edge.Nikon Z7 vs Sony Alpha A7R III: LCD screenWhile the Alpha A7R III features a 3.0-inch tilting touchscreen with a 1,440,000 dot

is that Z7 users will be able to leverage the performance of future CFExpress cards once they become more widely available
Never heard of CFExpress cards Don't worry, they feature the same exterior design as XQD memory cards, but with even greater performance
performanceInterestingly, while the Z7 uses a newer version of the EN-EL15a battery that powers the D850 and delivers a 1,840-shot battery
life in that camera, the EN-EL15b in the Z7 is only good for a very modest 330 shots
That said, apparently in real-world use you're more likely to get around 600 shots, though we'll have to put that to the test ourselves.The
Alpha A7R III uses Sony's latest NP-FZ100 battery, with a 530-shot battery life, so on paper at least it has the upper hand over the Z7
