Handling
- Nikon Z7
- Panasonic S1R
- Sony a7RIII
Displays
- Panasonic S1R highest resolution EVF
- Nikon Z7 great OLED on the back
- Sony a7RIII lowest magnification
Batteries and Media
- Sony a7RIII great battery but should have two UHS-II slots
- Panasonic S1R huge battery but only ok photo performance
- Nikon Z7 single card slot and worst battery life of the batch
Lenses
- Sony a7RIII G Master line and a lot of selection with great adapters
- Nikon Z7 Good adapter and lots of lenses coming but it’s a new mount
- Panasonic S1R hasn’t been around long enough and Leica L-Mount lenses are crazy expensive
Autofocus
- Sony a7RIII best of the bunch for AF by far
- Panasonic S1R slightly better hit rate than the Nikon but CDAF only
- Nikon Z7 bad AF implementation
Video
- Panasonic S1R best IBIS and a great XLR adapter with 4k 60p
- Nikon Z7 best video AF but bad preamp for audio 10-bit external
- Sony a7RIII stuck in 8-bit
Image Quality
- Sony a7RIII great dynamic range across the ISO range, but the multishot mode isn’t great
- Panasonic S1R best high-resolution mode with the lowest dynamic range at base ISO and most noise at high ISO
- Nikon Z7 good image quality, but there is banding if you push the shadows
