Sony A7C ii or Nikon Z6 iii

[gman]

The D810 and 70-200 2.8 is going to be retired. Too big and too heavy for a grab and go camera and I'm currently not finding the time for going out to do dedicated photography.

Two at the top of my list is the A7C ii and the Z6 iii. But I'm torn between them. From what I've researched, the Z6 iii actually has slightly better AF, but the A7C ii has better dynamic range, although only to 800 ISO. Has anyone tried both and got any thoughts?

The A7C ii might be a little smaller, but once a lens goes on they seem much the same. It'll either be a 40mm for that compact setup, or I might go with a 35mm 1.4, which will make it a lot bigger but still not a patch on the Nikon D810 setup.

Can I ask why you have picked these two? Is it price?
The z6iii is more comparable to a full size a7 in specs and body.

I’m a Sony shooter so would recommend Sony.
I was a Nikon shooter and haven’t looked at the z6 series since the mk1 which was far behind Sony especially in AF, I thought they were still trailing in this regard. I saw them pushing updates constantly for it.

Size wise the larger z6/a7 body’s won’t be hugely smaller in size or weight(maybe more comparable to a d750 size)
For me Sony wins on lens selection and this is where you can reduce size and weight.
Third party glass is far cheaper and more abundant on Sony,
The tamron zooms are far smaller and lighter than anything else and preform great.
The new Viltrox lenses are also cracking for the cost.
The latter offering as much on Nikon I believe just costing abit more.

I’ve just moved to the a7v, but still believe the a7iii is one of in not the best all rounders for the price.
