Hello folks,
I am looking for suggestions and opinions from users, who use or used both setups, i.e. Z6/Z7 and E-M1 iii.
I'm not a professional photographer, I don't print and don't do pixel-peeping. Neither I am looking for a lot of technical, but trying to come out of confusion based on real-life scenarios.
I visit national parks frequently. At that time I would shot in the evening and if the night is good, then night photography too. I like to shoot pictures of family, my toddler son, sometimes in the evening, and sometimes inside the house. Being with toddler, I get enough opportunities to go to zoo. I am not exactly in BIF but one thing I would mention. Though the number of pictures of birds would be less but I would like to take the best (or you call sharp) of it. For example, a bird sitting between branches and leaves will not be visible very well, unless the background or unwanted area can't be blurred.
I have been reading a lot of past posts and trying to gather some information about differences.
Pros of E-M1 can be the best IBIS, few cheesy features, little advantage of overall weight and if I go on a longer lens, then it would save some cost too. For eg. Oly 300mm f/4 vs Nikon 500 PF.
Cons of E-M1 can be a little noisy in difficult ISO. Though it can be covered up to some extent by using a fast lens, like 25mm f/1.4? I am not sure, if we say bad noise, how bad.. in a room, post-sunset if I want to click pictures of the family. A smaller sensor will capture a smaller frame. Though I am not printing, but bigger frame with more subject in it, looks more impressive on FF. Even if I use 7-14mm, it won't compete with FF lens.
The pros of Z6 can be a bigger sensor, so less noise. But if I am not pixel-peeping, should this be a little worry? Some posters say IQ is clearly amazing than E-M1, probably they are talking in a bad light?
Cons of Z6 can be expensive if I go with a long lens, or quality will be reduced or weight will be increased. If I ignore some features like live composite, Starry Sky, ND exposure bracket, Pro Capture, can't see other disadvantages.
A good kit I can think of can be -
E-M1 iii + 12-40mm f/2.8 + 7-14mm f/2.8 + 25mm f/1.4 (+ telelens 100-400mm or 300mm f/4)
Z6 + 24-70 f/4 + 14-30mm f/4 + 50mm f/1.8 (+ telelens, don't know yet)
Thanks
