p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · So which would you pick: D750 vs. A7 vs. Wait? | |
I have sold my Canon 5DII and my 85/1.8 USM lens. I am holding on to my beloved 24-70LII and 135L. I have shot with the 6D and like it. I was 90% sure we'd get a hint through the 7DII that Canon was finally doing to get its a$$ in gear in regards to new sensor tech and DR. My assumption was that if the 7DII was to get new sensor tech, we could at least hope that new tech would spread to the 5DIV/6DII, etc. I'd wait for those. But Canon is now 3 generations behind and decides to rest on its laurels, so the Sony A7 and now D750 have my attention. Adios to companies that stagnate.
What do I shoot? Mostly portrait, landscape and interior room shots. I can't say I do much action/sports/bird/plane photography (though I could eventually do more planes).
So how do we compare the A7 vs. D750?
Price/Body: $1698 vs. $2297
MPX: 24.7 vs. 24.93
AF: Phase and Contrast Detection, 117 + 25 AF points vs. 51 AF points, 15 cross-type
Viewfinder: EVF vs. OVF
ISO: 50-25600 vs. 50-51200
Shutter: 1/8000 vs. 1/4000
FPS: 5.0 vs. 6.5
AE-ON Button: Unknown vs. No
Screen: Tilt 3.0" 1.2m Pixels vs. Tilt 3.2" 1.2m Pixels
Flash: No vs. Yes
WiFi: Yes vs. Yes
Weight: 416g vs. 750g
What I don't like about the D750 and DO use: no dedicated AE-ON button, no 1/8000. The FPS is fine.
The Nikon does have better, faster AF, better metering, better accessories/lenses/support, and will have better resale down the line. I would have to sell my Canon glass to fund purchase of body and lenses that would not be as good as the glass I have now. I would most likely start with the Tamron 24-70 VC and Nikon 85/1.8G.
The Sony is $600 cheaper, weighs about .5 lbs. less and supposedly is "easy" to use with Canon glass. But accessories/lenses/support and long-term resale value will be poor.
I like that both have WiFi as this is a feature I have come to enjoy after my experience with the 6D.
