Nikon Z9 vs Canon R3 and Sony A1

Nikon Z9, Canon R3 and Sony A1

After the competition between Canon and Nikon on SLRs, a new disruptive challenger appeared: Sony.
Sony has gained market share with its full-frame mirrorless cameras, Canon and then Nikon had no other choice than launch mirrorless cameras too.
This needs launching a new mount for each two and developing a new range of lenses.
Today Canon and Nikon are abandoning their traditional reflex range to concentrate all their efforts on this mirrorless products.
If the Nikon Z9 outperforms the Nikon D6, Canon with its R3 has not yet unveil its professional flagship camera.
