That was the flaw of the Nikon and Canon mirrorless cameras as far as AF was concerned imho, they didn't match the Sony AF of the models (version III's) they came out against, and now before they have even equalled them, Sony have their next version out. They (Nikon and Canon) may always be playing catch up and never quite do it. Time will tell.Tbh the Nikon Z’s aren’t ‘that’ far off, I’ve been surprised by the Z7 and for me it performs better than stats would have you believe. I wouldn’t be surprised if the gen2 models are a match for Sony.
For those unhappy about the frequency of Sony's camera releases, no one is forced to buy anything, and their current cameras they were very happy with a few days ago will not stop working, and have not suddenly gone bad. Try waiting 7 years like I had to for Nikon to replace my camera. I'd rather have too many options than too few. Yes, prices of used a7's may take a dip, but it is not as if Sony's actions with each version didn't give you a warning that this would probably happen. They update more frequently that the other manufacturers, and the have a lot of new features/improvements with each model. It's what they do. They have attacked the market in a fast aggressive way to gain market share quickly while the other big two are seemingly doddering along banking on brand loyalty rather than the best tech to transition to mirrorless and keep market share.
Kai's video seemed to give a good overview, and he was finding it hard to pick faults with it. It's going to be an interesting couple of weeks as all the details get revealed.
