Jay: Today on The Slanted Lens, we're going
to compare the Nikon D850, the A7R III from

Sony, and the A7 III from Sony, and the...

Kenneth: The Nikon D850, A7R III, and A7 III.

Jay: Let's get started and see what we can
do.

So we're down to our favorite place to review
cameras here in the alleys of Pasadena, and

we're going to review these three cameras.

Kenneth: Honestly, I feel like these, if I
was going to recommend a full frame SLR style

camera to someone, these would be the top
three choices.

I think it was last year we did the 5D Mark
IV versus the D810 versus the A7R II.

So this is almost like that this year with
the newest, the latest and greatest.

They just don't have a camera that I feel
like competes at the price point.

In fact, Sony's latest A7 III has a better
feature set than the Canon does at like half

Kenneth: And that's really the question here.

A lot of people are going to be choosing between
the A7R III and the A7 III based on price

and wondering does the resolution matter,
is the extra resolution worth the money for

Are there other features that you're getting
as well that make it more of a pro line camera.

And of course, the Nikon D850 I think is the
most interesting Nikon camera out there right

It's hard to even get a hold of one of them
right now because they're so extremely popular.

My daughter-in-law is going, "I need a new
camera.

I want to step up from a Rebel into something,
a full frame camera, but I don't want the

It's not like she's really invested in a big
lens kit.

So she really has the ability to go any way
she wants, you know, without any problem.

So these are the three cameras that we talked
about, I talked about with her.

And so let's look at the picture quality.

Jay: Auto focus, which is, man, the auto focus
has come a long ways on these.

I think one of the biggest conversations we're
going to have here is DSLR versus mirrorless

They're really different in terms of not only
the weight, but like the ergonomics and how

The thing I like about Nikons is I feel like
Nikon has been in the game for 100 years and

they really know how to dial in the controls
to make it fast for shooting.

I think Sony is kind of still figuring that
out a little bit.

But on the other hand, Sony has all these
amazing features that they're packing into

Jay: Well, the one thing that we know about
Nikon is that they are weather resistant.

They're made to be out and to be shooting,
they really are.

We don't know how durable the Sony is, how
they're long term, you know?

The build is maybe a slightly little less
durable.

There's an issue there about how will they
last.

Although I've had A7S for now...since it came
out.

Jay: And we used it a lot on set and it's
been absolutely fine, so.

Kenneth: By the way, we want to give a huge
shout out to BorrowLenses and thank them for

sending us some of these cameras and lenses
that we're using today.

BorrowLenses is a super convenient, awesome
service that will send rental cameras and

lenses straight to your door so you don't
have to waste the time going out and getting

Jay: And it's a great service if you want
to check one of these out and see if it's

It's really a great way to test the camera,
so BorrowLenses.

So we're starting with our auto focus test,
which is really we have Spike walking towards

I'm on the A7 III and we got that eye detection,
so it's really tracking her eye.

Sometimes it kept jumping to her face and
then to her eye.

But we'll take a look and see what those images
look like.

I mean, it's certainly buffering out as she
walks this distance, and by the end it's kind

But still, it's pulling the focus right to
where she gets right up in the camera.

It's following her all the way in, which is
pretty nice.

Kenneth: The Nikon has face detection, but
doesn't have the eye focus.

So I'm very curious to see if the eye focus
on the Sony makes a huge difference.

Both the Sony bodies have it, the Nikon doesn't.

So I'm wondering if it really gives the Sonys
an edge in the auto focus game.

It's a 1.8 lens and we're shooting at 2.8
at 500th of a second at 200 ISO, so it should
