Sony Camera Comparison

I am very happy with this camera. I did a comparison between my Full Frame Sony A7iii and this camera, attached to both cameras lenses with apertures f2.8 to F4, and was pleasantly surprised that the Nikon D500 gave as crisp, clean , sharp and slightly better images than my Sony full frame camera. And most surprisingly, the colors are more pleasant ! I am also finding myself grabbing this camera more when I want to have fun shooting. I am noticing how pleasant and enjoyable to use the Nikon D500 with its ergonomics, the many buttons that make it easy to operate and change functions. I am falling in love with photography again because of this camera .

I use this when recording bands in my studio... It has been great in comparison to my Sony brand batteries as well. It is very nice to not worry about running low on voltage when filming!!

I tried several no comparison

Installed on the camera and used it as soon as I got it . listening to the quality of the sound now compared to before there is no comparison.

I decided in the Zeiss Batis over the Sony 85mm 1.8 only after seeing comparison photos. The Sony seemed nice and was cheaper but the Zeiss Batis 85mm just seemed to have nicer color pop! So far I’ve been very happy with my choice. The lens focus fast and quiet on my Sony A7Iii and I love the images I’m getting! Along with B&H service and quick shipment, I couldn’t ask for more!

Let's get the bad stuff out of the way first. This is a heavy lens. It's quite the beast. Loaded on an A7ii with Sony's Vertical Grip it's a rather beefy set up. But compared to the bigger brother SLT Carl Zeiss A-mount lens, it's comparable maybe a few grams lighter. And it's that CZ lens that bares comparison. The lens is just as sharp, has about as much pop and is every bit as good as CZ without having to attach Sony's proprietary LEA3 or LEA4 adapters, which unfortunately have their issues. Focus is quick and clean. There is no hunting issues that I've notice while shooting stills. I've pushed this lens hard (along with the camera's steady shot) and have been able to get sharp pictures two stops below the optimal shutter speed. The range of the zoom is very good and for most shots it's retired my Zeiss 16-35. Having that extra f stop is nice, for hand held shots but not all that necessary when a tripod is used. I have found the Bokeh exceptional, but this is a matter of taste. Your milage may vary. It is very smooth with very little of the nervousness you may find in other lenses. As I have only the CZ A-mount for comparison I can say that the Bokeh is comparable, which is great praise if you have used that lens. As a walk-about lens it is excellent once you get over the weight. Many times I have decided not to pull out a different lens because the GM could handle the shot with aplomb. Often, I have just left the camera backpack in the car and just gone with this lens and the A7ii body. It's a much easier set up than hauling around the extra lenses and added weight. The only caveat I have is that like any zoom you do have to sacrifice low light ability. There are times the relatively slow 2.8 aperture gets in the way. Sometimes you really do have to reach for that speedy prime. Overall, I would rate this a What are you waiting for? lens. If a tax return is in your future I would definitely recommend using it to buy this lens.

This was purchased at the B&H superstore after tons of comparison with other similar size bags. I liked it because it fits my Sony A6000 plus 3 lenses or an A7R3 with a medium telephoto and one smaller prime lens will fit. Not much else as internal pockets can hold SD cards or filters but not batteries. Outside pocket is also better suited for flat items. Strap is robust and comfortable and the zippered opening works best and most conveniently while facing your body. This also discourages pickpockets when traveling as there are no outward facing zippers or openings while it is easy to open the lids by the wearer using the single tab zipper. I’ve used it several times during a Chicago trip and will use it inside a larger backpack when I travel for an upcoming shoot.

I now own 2 Sony TVs. I cannot say enough about the features I have found in these TVs. In comparison with comparable TV it has many features that they do not have. The Sony's higher price is justified. The picture has a deeper and richer color and many more channel viewing options are found here that other TVs do not have.

I chose this lens over the outstanding Sony 24mm f/1.4, because I saw comparison tests online which showed that the Batis 25mm had significantly better auto focus performance, which is very important to me. I verified this by doing my own comparison test at the B&H Super Store Lens Counter. Both lenses create beautiful images, but I find the Batis 25mm captures a more natural color.

I purchased this as a replacement for the Sony brand flash with the same power. My Sony flash kept overheating. This flash is so light in comparison. Fits much better on my camera. Great amount of light and the settings are very easy to access. Highly recommended.
