Currently my main kit consist of Sony A7III mirrorless bodies and Nikon D750 DSLR bodies. I feel fortunate being able to run two separate systems, but eventually I want to consolidate due to the current pandemic. Currently I use my Sony bodies for portrait work and my Nikon bodies for event work. Sony excels with portrait work, legacy lens adapting, excellent eye-AF and just having more affordable/compact native primes. Nikon DSLRs excel due to instant response, better low light performance when using flash (in pitch dark conditions w/infrared light) or stopped down shooting off a tripod and having cheaper DSLR pro zooms and fast telephoto prime lenses. The Z6 would of been the natural evolution, but the expense of XQD storage, Z mount lenses being more expensive, lack of 3rd party options and so-so performance with the FTZ adapter are all turn-offs.
I find consolidating to either system fully leaves me with gaps. If I go all Sony I can add an A9, but I feel I'll miss some of the DSLR strengths. If I go all Nikon I could add a Z6 or switch out my D750 bodies to a D850, but I'll lose out on Sony native lens advantages and access to their better mirrorless AF tech. Decisions!
I know 1st world problems, but anyone else with multiple systems always debating on trying to streamline their kit?
