Pros | ||

Cons |
Both Nikon and Sony now offer a $2000 mirrorless full-frame camera. Spec-wise, the two have a lot in common, but small differences between them might affect your preference.
Nikon's new 'affordable' full-frame mirrorless camera sounds very promising on paper. But is the Z6 a match for Sony's A7 III?
