Best full frame mirrorless

[shifty_uk]

I'm looking for a compact mirrorless to replace carting my Nikon DSLR around whilst on the move. The tech stuffed into them seems to be amazing these days.

What's the opinion, are there any stand out models I should be looking at? The Sony A series seems to pop up time and time again.

I've looked at a few top 10 guides and recent models but there's so many options...

Not after anything in the Leica territory, if I can spend £1k or under whilst retaining quality and that all important bokeh that would be great.

Are there any full frame variants or is it very much APS-C ?

I went Fuji, image is great, small, regular firmware updates and very customisable. Lenses are magnificent.

Which model? I had a Fuji bridge back in the day, solid camera.

Looks like the Nikon Z6 is still £1.3K+ second hand.

What's your thoughts on the Z6 as an A7III contender? Seen lots of video reviews generally leaning towards Sony. Looks like a good bit of kit.

On the Z6 front, it would be good to use my Nikon lenses but the adapter looks a bit poor and I'm not sure it would support AF functionality. Could be better to start a fresh with Sony and go for some budget primes, seems to be plenty available?

Interested in what you think about the EOS R. Do you find it smaller enough that easy to carry about. I, like the OP, want something a little smaller, but having had full frame (6D) and gone back to APS-C (80D) ... I'm missing the full frame, but also finding the bulk of the 80D annoying too. Would the EOS R (or RP) go some way to reducing size, but gaining the full frame?

I've never quite gotten to grips with Canon cameras, not sure why, bit of brand loyalty to Nikon perhaps. I used the 5D quite extensively for a few weeks years ago, much preferred the Nikon interface and controls.

What type of photography are you doing?


Most of the Sony G and GM Master lenses have aperture control rings too. It’s pretty handy for video and also provides a retro feel for photos.

Nothing extraordinary, no fast action or exceptional low light requirements. Something I can use for personal(family, travel, city, landscape) and business(staff, conferences, events, customer case studies).

I'd like all rounder, a more discrete system that packs the capabilities of a DSLR that is solid enough to be carted everywhere for years to come.

I'll most likely stick a 35 or 50 prime on it for the majority of the time.

Since I posted this, the A7III keeps coming up time and time again - it seems it's a much more capable workhorse over the A7?
