Nikon z5 ii vs sony a7 v?
Both are full frame mirrorless cameras with in-body stabilisation, so the choice comes down to resolution and lenses. The Sony a7 V has the higher resolution at 33 megapixels and a partially stacked sensor. The Nikon Z5 II has 24.5 megapixels, which is plenty for most people and keeps files smaller.
For an everyday standard zoom on either body, I'd look at:
- Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM II on the a7 V
- Sony FE 24-105mm f/4 G OSS on the a7 V, a lighter option
- Nikon Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S II on the Z5 II
- Nikon Z 24-70mm f/4 S on the Z5 II, a smaller choice
If you tell me what you shoot, I can narrow this down.
