Dpreview compared the Z6 vs. S1 vs. EOS R vs. a7 III and says the Sony is still the best choice

Dpreview compared the four entry level FF cameras. The conclusion:

Having considered all these factors, and looked at how they apply to different types of photography, it’s difficult to announce a clear winner. It’s certainly not as simple as adding up how many times we’ve recommended each model, since it’s unlikely any one person is going use their camera for every one of these types of shooting.

With that critical caveat, the Sony a7 III remains our generic recommendation, simply because it’s good at just about everything. But it’s a much narrower margin over the Nikon Z6 than when we last pondered this question, and that still doesn’t mean it’ll be the best for you.

Sirui 50mm F1.8 1.33x hands-on by Dpreview

Dpreview posted a first hands-on of this very exciting niche lens:

The a7R IV may not be the ideal Sony camera for shooting all types of video, but it does include an APS-C/Super 35 crop mode, which is where it produces its best quality 4K video. This cropping might be a bug bear for some videographers, but it makes the camera a good match for this lens. It’s possible to use crop mode with FHD resolution as well, but since the camera produces better FHD footage in full sensor mode, we’d recommend sticking with 4K.

However, to see the footage de-squeezed live it’s necessary to use an external monitor with that capability since the feature isn’t built into the camera.
