I currently own the Nikon D850 with Zeiss 15mm, Nikon 20mm f/1.8, Nikon 105mm Macro, Sigma 135 ART f/1.8, Nikon 300mm PF and a Sigma 150-600 Sport.
I also have the Sony A7RIII with Batis 18mm, Batis 85mm, Sony 90mm Macro, Zeiss 135mm and just sold the 100-400GM.
When I traveling I always take a backup camera but having different manufacturers it means 2 of everything, lenses, battery chargers etc. The D850 and Z7 combination will be ideal from my perspective.
I like the lighter weight and smaller size of the Sony A7RIII but prefer the image quality from the Nikon. I prefer the Nikon AF as it is better, not by much but it is, no doubt Sony enthusiasts would disagree (note I didn't say fanboys to keep this thread civil). Thats fine everybody is entitled to an opinion. When I am out hiking and in more of a Landscape mode the Sony is my choice and as it's generally Manual everything, I don't care if the Z7 AF is not as good as the Sony A7RIII. For wildlife I choose the D850 anyway but I don't tend to walk about with that anyway. The Z lack of Eye AF is not a concern for me as I don't take people pictures.
So thats why I'm selling my Sony gear and why I'm buying a Z7. Makes perfect sense to me to consolidate my gear and have 2 cameras with common lenses.
