Fact. The new Nikon Z8 is $2500 less expensive than the Sony a1 and for many that savings is significant and allows them to buy a very nice lens or other key capability or buy their kids school lunch for a school year. Don’t judge. Thank you.
I don't think that anyone can credibly argue that the low Z8 price doesn't provide a huge competitive advantage in a straight price vs performance comparison with the Sony A1. It does, simple as that. The Z8 is an incredible bargain in a very high performance camera.
However, when comparing a whole system including lenses, and edge case capabilities it can be more complex. Things like if one needs 1/400 sync speed, or mechanical shutter, or 30 fps RAW, or native lens compatibility with dedicated video/TV cameras (this is actually a big one for many organizations), or some other of many things in their work, the Z9 is just out at any price. Each must decide what best fits their needs.
