Are landscapes not a good test of sharpness? For me landscapes are one of the best tests for edge to edge sharpnessJust out of interest what do you take pictures of that would really test a lens? The only thing I’ve seen you post is snaps from walks etc which, I presume is not all you use these expensive cameras for.
Genuine question
The Z system is still very immature for sure. That being said the roadmap looks great, and of course you've got the whole back catalogue of G lenses to use .I briefly had a Z7 and the only reason I kept my A7Riii was the uncertainty of the Z system future, eye-AF (Nikon hadn't implemented at the time) and limited lenses at the time. Ergonomically and button wise the Z was leagues ahead (subjectively) and going back to the Sony was very jarring. I find myself having to think about what's where more rather than concentrating on what I'm trying to capture. Weather proofing also concerns me with the A7riii.
The Nikon 24-70 f4 S is also a lovely lens that seemed to produce very pleasing pictures for me. I don't know technically why but I was happier with them than those from my Sony with Tamron 28-75.
Colours are always personal. I've always preferred Nikon as they look more natural to me. I know a lot of people rave about Olympus colours, but I have a preset to match my Olympus as closely to Nikon as possible, Olympus are always a little too blue to me somehow, and I don't mean in terms of temp.Always preferred canon, then sony and last nikon personally
I have a EOS R colours preset profile in LR that I apply to a lot of my pictures
What are you referring to with fast moving? I've not found anything yet where my Z7 is lacking, but I've not tried BIF tbh.One thing that’s really attracting me towards Sony is the AF system. I just don’t get a good feeling about AutoFocus set to Continuous Auto on Nikon for fast moving subjects. The feedback through the optical viewfinder suggests the AF is completely missing which isn’t very reassuring.
