Honestly, would you buy an R, RP or R6 over the new Nikon Z5 camera if primarily a stills shooter with no existing camera gear or brand loyalty?
I have a hard time seeing why one would spend the extra money on the R or R6. Is the RP cheaper enough to forgo IBIS, AF joystick, 2 card slots, and better EVF?
Now let's assume one is looking at this starting from scratch.
I own an R and RP. Love them both, but this Z5 seems like the perfect balance of capabilities and pricing. IBIS which both the R & RP lack. Better EVF than the RP. AF joystick and 2 card slots which are missing on the R/RP. Considerably cheaper than a R6 and similarly specified for stills.
It seems to me the R6 either has to come down in price drastically or Canon has to update the RP to compete.
Regardless, this has to be good from a camera buyers perspective as pricing on the lower/middle range has to get more competitive. Surely Sony will have to come out with a lower priced model and not just sell older models cheaper.
So, put all loyalty aside and look from the perspective of a first time buyer.
Personally I dont like the new Nikon Z lenses or their design so I would pick the r or r6
i also prefer the Canon ergonomics and Nikon’s crap autofocus doesn’t do the range any favours
You have to stop regurgitating what you read by people with little to no experience using the Z’s. I’ve been using them professionally since new and have 99% in focus shots. The 1% is user error. Video tracks beautifully. AF is far better (very good actually) that what YouTube leads you to believe.

Fujifilm's X-H2 is a high-resolution stills and video camera, that sits alongside the high-speed X-H2S at the pinnacle of the company's range of X-mount APS-C mirrorless cameras. We dug into what it does and what it means.
Holy Stone produces dozens of low-cost drone models aimed at consumers. We look at the HS710 and HS175D to see if they stack up to other sub-250g offerings. Are these secretly great or more like toys?
It's small, light, cheap and extremely wide but is it any good?
After weeks with a production Fujifilm X-T5, Chris and Jordan have some final thoughts.
Released only weeks apart, the Sony 50mm F1.4 GM and Sigma F1.4 DG DN Art are clear competitors. Which is the better buy?

Family moments are precious and sometimes you want to capture that time spent with loved ones or friends in better quality than your phone can manage.
