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 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.
PS. Forgot to mention: there are third party long tele zooms ( from Tamron and Sigma) in the Sony ecosystem which as far as I know aren't available in the Nikon and Canon systems. These lenses are more affordable than oem so for budget conscious shooters, Sony is still a better choice even in the long tele range.
The Nikon telephoto lineup completely smokes Sony’s telephoto lineup. Sorry, but It’s not even close.
Wow, that's so BS. Brand prejudice at all high, lol.
Send your list of Sony telephoto lenses and we can compare.
Send me your side by side comparison shots and then we can compare.
I was replying to YOUR idiotic comments suggesting that Sony somehow has a better telephoto lens lineup compared with Nikon. So you can’t backup what you say? Maybe you shouldn’t make stupid comments when you don’t have all the facts?
Nobody said Sony tele lenses are better. Neither did I. YOU claimed Nikon tele lenses smoke Sony tele lenses So the burden of proof is on YOU.
I admit I was tempted to return your insults. But then I thought this poor guy is so fragile, just asking him to stop making unsubstantiated claims hurt his ego and triggered his anger. That's pathetic. One more chance: back up your claim if you can. Or else, you might want to go back to your Nikon forum where you will find some like-minded FANBOYS who want to cheer for these five letters: N O K I N.

Nobody said Sony tele lenses are better. Neither did I. YOU claimed Nikon tele lenses smoke Sony tele lenses and I demanded prove your claim. You FAILED. You know why? Because you have absolutely no reason to back up your claim. You must be one of those guys who look at the label on the camera and lens and then decide what is better. I am suspecting in a blind test, you will choose many images from Sony tele lenses over those from Nikon's.
