The Sony a7R V takes everything photographers loved about the a7R IV and makes it a little bit better. Faster, smarter autofocus, a gorgeous EVF, and a clever dual-hinged display make it our favorite high-pixel camera.

A bit like Coen brothers movies, Sony cameras can be good and then great, alternating between the two. But with the A7R V, it’s safe to say that it’s in the ‘great’ category, and maintains the position of the highest-resolution full-frame mirrorless camera available. However, while some features are geared towards sport and wildlife, it doesn’t offer the burst rates of the A9 II, and video is good, but not as good as what you get with the A7S III. So the A7R V appears to be a jack of all trades, but only a master of some.

The Nikon Z8 is essentially a Z9 that has been squished into a smaller chassis and had a dramatic reduction in price. This means that it has all the flagship specs, including a speedy stacked sensor and 8K video capture but at a price that's not quite so frightening.

With an advanced full-frame sensor, lightning-fast processing, and video capabilities that go far beyond the bare minimum, the Sony A1 easily earns its stellar reputation.
