… I am going to buy a z8 tmr…. Sony really has lost touch with what people want.

Why not the A1?

Z8 cheaper. Sony does not understand that they need a good eshutter camera at around a7r5 price point.

A9 iii is aimed at pro sport and action shooters who can make use of its exceptional abilities. It's not a surprise that Sony has released the camera and the 300mm lens before the upcoming Olympic games. I am sure they wants to lure all those professional sport photographers to Sony. This camera is clearly not aimed at you, nor at me as I don't even shoot sports or any sort of action. If this camera doesn't fit your budget, a used Sony A1 does which can be found for around $4000 nowadays. A1 is a better camera than Z8, IMO.If it were me, I would choose a used A1 over Z8 any day. Just all the available lensesfor the Sony system alone, makes it a better choice.
