Cons	wouldn't carry your camera in a cotton sock Flat picture profile might not have 12 stops of dynamic range horribly slow and clunky Nikon does not seal its boxes in any way rolling shutter is prevalent worst they have seen in any camera Auto White balance can be very problematic and often required setting it manually No flip screen for filming yourself Autofocus also failed in backlit scenarios The new Z mount is noticeably larger lack of features like focus peaking; poor autofocus performance no pixel binning or line skipping the eye sensor was a bit inconsistent You cannot charge the older ones in-camera only a single memory card slot on the right of both cameras they are quite expensive this model will only begin shipping around November LCD only tilts up and down and cannot be flipped all the way around it has a slower burst rate of 9fps display swung out rather than tilted Noise visible at lower-than-expected ISOs lack of identical results is within the expected margin of error visual noise would be barely visible in a large print you can only use one of the two at a time They are not used for registering image information The screen does not turn The AF system is therefore somewhat less extensive built-in image stabilization absence is not a deal-breaker not earth-shattering in 2019 this sentiment is entirely subjective and unscientific eye-detection AF or the somewhat restricted articulated rear screen lag when changing from EVF to screen and back again lack of focal points smothered in textured rubber around the front and backplate Some will find this a tad annoying Looks like Nikon might be king again in-body image stabilisation the joystick is a little slow and laborious Sony is certainly hard to ignore fairly clunky SnapBridge image transfer system autofocus and burst shooting speed Nikon only quotes a 310-shot battery life for the camera needn't be a single moving part in a camera soft rubberised texture surrounding the grip the camera does not feature eye-detection their glass doesnt work on the new adapter XQD format is still relatively expensive It might not be the top choice for sports photographers lack of twin memory card slots for on-the-go backup slow motion available if you switch to 1080p Nikon has a very limited set of proprietary lenses for the Z mount Nikon Z6 is just a little bit expensive for you right silent autofocus and reduced focus Every camera has flaws and weaknesses Pinpoint AF is painfully slow the rear touchscreen left much to be desired Nikon has put on their cameras no quality loss at that higher frame rate shaky the focus motors are noticeably louder and have a different sound Sony only captures 8-bit internally or externally The camera body is not the smallest in class this 19 second movie is 126Mb in size this 20 second movie is 321Mb in size this 18 second movie is 281Mb in size this 26 second movie is 408Mb in size large commercial prints XQD slot only Only a few Z-mount lenses there is only one slot available A camera spends not just time on a tripod bright sunlight and struggled to check your focus on the display The new lens juts out about twice as much Nikon does come up short with battery life and media card slots sadly lacks the twin slot capabilities of the A7 more expensive and slower sibling the media door being used as a thumb grip First the processor is way too slow exposure is locked The lenses are comparatively small The images are horrendous not well color coded as everything always highlights in the same yellow Nikon DSLRs Front and rear dials are harder and less grippy Autofocus Tracking Tracking is slow No need for the rear LCD or top OLED Left-side connectors have soft plastic covers It is bulkier but not necessary a handful Nikon has decided to get users to twist the lens barrel lack of an additional memory card slot to create two copies of a shot it has not hit a home run lack of a vertical grip is also a deal breaker cameras focused painfully slow and this is not one of those cameras noise reduction is disabled noise is becoming slightly perceptible in smooth colored areas of the frame rather featureless aside from the memory card slot door loss of the buttons to the left of the LCD the attenuator and wind noise filter slow-motion settings No anti-aliasing filter is used exposure locked on the first frame Full-Frame Mirrorless Camera suffers from far too much fringing no need to switch Swerving around a corner	will undoubtedly get better with firmware updates images will look bland as ever even with good white balancing techniques Nikon really need the magnifying glass buttons Nikon DSLRs Front and rear dials are harder and less grippy Left-side connectors have soft plastic covers Nikon provides no switch on the lens Autofocus Tracking Tracking is slow not well color coded this model will only begin shipping around November LCD only tilts up and down and cannot be flipped all the way around they are quite expensive only a single memory card slot on the right of both cameras it has a slower burst rate of 9fps high speed focus bracketing clumsy AF system lack of lens adapters Not the same features for a smaller price Sony is still lacking in a few areas it homes in on a smaller target Handling Nikon is not new to camera design shine too brightly in dark conditions you cannot record video to an internal card neglected the physical controls because of the touch control work the other way around often massive auto white balance and exposure errors The palm tree is blowing all over in the wind double-edged pendulum has swung too far away from still photography performance either camera when shooting it in the real world the image is equally unusable slow and noisy to too-fast and silent Nikon has NOT promised third-party lens compatibility There is only the back upper dial and has nowhere as convoluted a menu system there is no back lower dial the focusing point on the screen is very small and sometimes hard to see due Color RGB histogram only available later on playback Nikon could have found a way to blow Sony out of the water in all areas Only works in some modes and only in certain conditions sloppy level display and iffy auto brightness control No lock on A7 III No ability to save or share the total camera state slight decrease in sharpness compared to the newest glass slow or inaccurate the virtues of the camera are severely limited isn't quite as easy as the likes of Leica USB-C to Lightning cable does not work by itself to transfer images the LCD is taking up more real estate Battery life suffers for backward compatibility Nikon sensor-shift image stabilization seemed inconsistent Nikon does not seal its boxes in any way No Interval Recording limited list of lenses means most will only consider the adapter and non-native lenses N-Log is only offered when capturing out the HDMI not great slows to 4 fps for 43 seconds or 200 frames the lens does not easily move Full-Frame Mirrorless Camera it becomes a rather large and heavy device Nikon Z mirrorless system is not a simple or inexpensive proposition distractingly crunchy image noise and pixel smearing Z7 does not have an optical low pass filter no auto brightness control for the LCD sensor lacks an optical low-pass filter no built-in flash strobe Multi-Power Battery Pack has no controls for portrait-oriented shooting it has no controls for improved portrait-oriented shooting Nikon Z7 only has a single card slot starts losing steam and drops to 2-3fps 600 detail is noticeably weaker and the image appears a little soft Dynamic-area AF was very unreliable in keeping our moving subjects Nikon Z7 has only a single slot on the right for an XQD card Z 7 drops slightly in dynamic range below ISO 200 some of the detail in bright clouds could be lost eye-detection do not work in subject-tracking mode the camera to revert back to its initial focus point mount does not have an autofocus

to trigger the shutter you cannot use this mode to transfer the videos shot on the camera it does not offer video as a mode housed behind an almost comically large spring-loaded door quite frustrating for your camera to come up short digital cameras are famously bad any features that will make video-focused buyers change camera platforms Nikon will shave $100 off the price the buffer only handles about 23 to 25 shots it only has a single card slot the Z series can only get better from here Inconsistent low light performance Moving focus point with joystick can be slow Z7 only has one card slot for XQD cards Nikon was never known for video in their cameras Noise starts to become noticeable at 1600 ISO Z7 is not going to win any beauty awards Noise artefacts are discernible only at ISO 3 200 and above the Z7 has only one memory card slot there is significant detail loss subscribers need not log in to access ST Digital articles EVF seems less prone to lag and smearing than others have hit the ground running the focusing can be a bit frustrating to achieve in very low light situations puzzling to just have a single XQD card slot mirrorless cameras are not just for amateurs autofocus
