Sony a7R V vs Nikon Z8: A Battle of Mirrorless All-Stars
In our video comparison, the Sony a7R V wins in almost every category. The sensor has more megapixels, the autofocus is more effective, and I do personally prefer the handling and extended battery capacity. [...] However, it’s the Nikon Z8 that might be the surprising winner when you take in to consideration all the factors.
- DPReview
9.4/10
The Z8 is the best mirrorless camera Nikon yet made, and arguably the best camera it's ever produced. It's big, it's heavy and it's expensive, but it also includes everything that makes the Z9 one of the world's best pro cameras [...] The Z8 is also an unexpectedly capable video camera. - DxO Mark

The Z8 is an immensely versatile and flexible camera. While the speed advantages of a stacked CMOS are clear, image quality is also excellent.
