  If I pay too much attention to the pros and cons of different brands of cameras, it will become very difficult to choose. But if I focus on photography itself, It becomes easier to choose. An excellent photographer can take excellent photos with any brand of camera, it’s just a difference in the feeling of using it, and the results are not too different.

  Still a massive Nikon fan... the Z6ii is a phenomenal wedding camera and the Z8 is even better though I want the abilities of the Z8 in a Z6ii body and megapixel count. &nbsp;That&apos;d be perfect for me. &nbsp;Good stuff guys. &nbsp;You are right in what you say about Sony seeming to place more kudos in delivering what the photographic community need / want. &nbsp;It&apos;s just a shame that their flaws are kinda looked over often... it&apos;s when you go into a Sony group on Facebook and realise all the things that annoy you about one brand are still there in Sony cameras, some to a lesser degree and then other things that you don&apos;t have an issue with using your camera drives Sony users nuts... As you have said many times, there is no perfect camera and no do it all brand. &nbsp;For me, Nikon still does the greatest amount of better stuff... errr better. lol. &nbsp;Keep em coming though, we can&apos;t all be the same.

  I said it on the first video I ever watched, where Tony took a piece of glass to a nifty fifty to prove a few scratches won&apos;t kill a lens; I watch you two because of your INTEGRITY.<br>Don&apos;t give a flying leap what &nbsp;all the naysayers go on about, THAT shows through over and over again. That is what keeps me coming back.<br>Kudos.

  I have Nikon Z6 ii and I love this camera for its feel, build and picture quality. Yeah it struggles a lot sometimes for focus but I can live with that. If I am spending this much amount of money I need a better build camera which will last for years. I had a Canon 1100D but it stopped working merely in 3 years or so but my D7200 was amazing it just never gave up. If you will come to India, in Mumbai &nbsp;you will find the photographers that work at few popular locations such as Gate way of India, Hajiali dargah, they use Nikon because it handles moisture better and it does not give up on them. And boy the camera feeling is another level with Nikon. I just love these Nikon cameras. ❤ If we are ranking cameras based on sales, then I think it&apos;s not the way to go, we should rank based on their build, quality materials used, picture quality, lenses availability, focus, FPSs etc. Sales cannot decide which one is better, as in India we call something is &quot;Bhedchal&quot; which is everyone follows someone else to buy something. And that raises their sales. 🙂

  I am a hobbyist. I originally shot Olympus (film) in the early 80&apos;s. Then shot Nikon, film, then on to Canon T3i. I&apos;ve been shooting Canon for 15+ years. I own an R5, and my retirement gift to me was a nice assortment of RF glass. I am in my 60&apos;s and will purchase 1 more camera. Originally was waiting for R5II or R1. I shoot Landscape, &nbsp;travel and some wildlife and portraits. I am now considering Leica Q2 or Q3 to use for travel and everday shooting. Will keep my R5 and most glass. &nbsp;Will decide in the next 6 months. Thanks for your video.

  I clearly qualify as a Nikon loyalist, and until the Z8 introduction a DSLR holdout. Now I’ve created a spreadsheet mapping out my F to Z transition plan. Your overview of the major brands, where they’ve been and where they are going was illuminating, especially for one who for convenience if nothing else ignored the other brands. I’m reminded of how much I loved using my OM-1 kit of decades ago. Recently my granddaughter, shopping for a film body, bought a vintage OM-1. She said it just spoke to her. She was unaware of my history with that camera. For all the tech specs and test reports, in the end our choices have more to do with love than logic.

  I was all about Pentax for years…then they just kind of slipped away. &nbsp;So, I had to make a change…I chose Sony. &nbsp;Started with A73, loved it….but started getting more into video so I did upgrade to A74…and love it! &nbsp;I have a 24-105 G and a 100-400 GM for lenses. &nbsp;So, never used Canon or Nikon so I can’t make any comparison…all I can say, I love have loved my Sony Cameras.

  What about Sony E mount being too small to really leverage IBIS, especially for video. That’s not fixable, unless they create a wider mount

  Very simple. The best camera brand is the one that YOU like the best. They all do things that people like and dislike. It&apos;s what works for you
