I purchased my Z50 for many reasons — silent shooting, exposure preview, fast continuous burst speed, good video capabilities — but one primary reason: Eye Autofocus. The other features are great, but I can get by without them on my DSLRs that offer the same or higher resolution and burst speed. Eye AF is supposed to be …
Sony a6100
I'm really enjoying my Nikon Z50 and dipping my toe into Nikon's mirrorless capabilities. I've been able to try out its much-criticized autofocus and I can see how it affects my shooting situation.

Since that time I've amassed 15 lenses and added a Nikon D500 for animal and sports photography. Nikon has treated me well and I've made a large investment in it, but mirrorless cameras …
