INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Canon and Nikon were always somewhat reluctant to join the full-frame mirrorless party, and their respective EOS M and 1 systems never quite
for full-frame alternatives to their DSLR lines, with Canon releasing the EOS R and Nikon kicking off its Z system with the Z6 and Z7.Both
systems are likely to have many early adopters, but how exactly do the flagship models compare on the spec sheet Here, we pit the Canon EOS
R against the Nikon Z7 to find out where each has the edge over its rival.Nikon Z7 vs Canon EOS R: resolutionThe 31.7MP sensor inside the
It is, however, a little higher in pixel count than the 24.5MP Nikon Z6, and so it ends up sitting somewhere between the two.Another
difference between the two is that Canon has opted to fit the sensor inside the EOS R with a optical low-pass filter, whereas Nikon has gone
This latter design has become more popular in recent years, given the extra crispness it can give images, so on top of the added sensor
resolution, the Z7 is more appealing from the off in this respect.Nikon Z7 vs Canon EOS R: lens mount and flange depthNikon has been keen to
stress the 55mm diameter of its new lens mount, and more specifically what such a large mount allows with regards to wide-aperture lens
Size-wise, Canon has almost managed to match this, with its RF mount measuring 54mm.A more significant difference is that the flange depth
This allows for the body to be a little more compact, and gives the Nikon another advantage over its rival.Nikon Z7 vs Canon EOS R:
stabilizationOne of the key advantages of the Nikon Z7 over the EOS R is the presence of sensor-based stabilization, particularly as it
allows you to benefit from the technology even when using older lenses
This promises up to five stops of compensation, and provides five-axis compensation when used with F-mount lenses via the FTZ adapter (and
three-axis stabilization for non-VR lenses).Image stabilization has been built into two of the four lenses released alongside the EOS R,
Extension settings on either side of these ranges see the Z7 shooting at settings as low as ISO32 equivalent and as high as ISO102,400
equivalent, while the EOS R has ISO50 and 102,400 extremes
So, while the two cameras are slightly different in what they offer here, in use it's unlikely to have a significant impact.Nikon Z7 vs
Canon EOS R: LCD screenBoth models have 2.1 million-dot LCD screens on their rears, although the Z7's is marginally larger, at 3.2 inches
Nikon has opted to have the screen tilt up and down, whereas Canon has gone for the same vari-angle design that graces models like the EOS
This enables the screen to face the front, which makes it more usable for selfie aficionados, and those intending to use the camera for
vlogging, than the Nikon Z7.Nikon Z7 vs Canon EOS R: EVFBoth models have been furnished with electronic viewfinders, and both have OLED
and the Z7 can maintain its 9fps burst speed, while the EOS R drops to 5fps
format, which is set to succeed XQD.Nikon Z7 vs Canon EOS R: lensesNikon has officially unveiled three lenses alongside the new Z7, namely
arguably got off to a stronger start, not only by releasing four lenses but also by having more wide-aperture options among these
They are the RF 28-70mm f/2L USM, RF 50mm f/1.2L USM, RF 35mm f/1.8 IS STM Macro and RF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM.Both systems can be used with
existing optics designed for Nikon and Canon DSLRs via adapters too.Nikon Z7 vs Canon EOS R: battery lifeHere, the EOS R has a small
EVF and 370 when using the LCD
If you enable the Power Saving mode, however, you can boost this to 430 and 450 frame respectively, and with the Eco Mode this can be
135mm width and 98.3mm height of the Canon EOS R are practically the same as the 134mm and 100.5mm of the Nikon Z7, but the EOS R is bigger
potentially not enough to tempt anyone tied to one system to jump to the other.qdCVwfRHz7SiWE5s3TERre.jpg#
