Sony vs Panasonic

9 years 2 weeks ago #430115 by Tuscany
Turn your head away from Nikon and Canon and  you'll see that Sony and Panasonic have been stepping up their game.  I've always been what I would call a Sony brand supporter.  I have owned 3 Sony large screen TV's and 2 of their Cybershot cameras.  I'm getting ready to purchase a new camera and on the fence between the Sony A7 series and the Panasonic GH4.  I've read so many reviews, reports and just about anything I can find on both. 

I'm on the fence and would like to get some assistance from this community on where you would sway on this decision?


Sony or Panasonic? 

A7s or GH4?

Nikon. 

Seriously, though. Who care what others think? Buy the camera that has the features you require, makes sense to you, and feels good in your hands. Someone else's opinion is irrelevant.

That said, a co-worker recently purchased an entry level Sony DSLR and she is very happy with it.

The full frame A7 has an obvious edge for artsy portraits.  Otherwise I would say this comes down to exactly which lenses are important for you.  But I know nothing, much prefer the Oly OM-Ds to Panny's GH series.
