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 Sony 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 for Z8 any day. Just the lenses that are available for the ony system alone, makes it a better choice.
The Z-mount long lens line up beats Sony quite easily IMO, but not easily enough to justify switching systems.
I have no reason to think so but I agree when it comes to long tele lenses, all three players are probably at about in the same stage as of now though the lenses aren't exactly equivalent. The person to whom I responded, did not seem being a long tele lens shooter anyway. I checked his website, and to me, it seemed his talk of Nikon over Sony was not justified. For me and for him Sony is clearly a better choice: better autofocus and better lens line up.
