Nikon Z8 vs Sony a7R V
The Nikon Z8 and the Sony a7R V side by side, computed from this guide's catalogue.
Which to pick
Pick the Sony a7R V if you want more resolution, for cropping and big prints (61 against 45.7 MP); more lenses made for it in this guide (278 against 153); and a lighter body (723 g against 910 g). On these specs the Nikon Z8 has no clear advantage: choose it if the price, the handling or a lens you own decides it. If you already own Nikon Z or Sony E lenses, the camera on that mount saves you buying them again.
