By [NR] admin | Published: August 9, 2018


Disqus is already messed up in the last post due to the increased amount of traffic and the large number of comments on NikonRumors, so I am opening a new thread here in order to continue our conversation.

Google Trends: Sony a7r3 vs. Nikon D850

By [NR] admin | Published: August 7, 2018


Google Trends is not really an indication of how well a particular camera brand or model is doing, but since I already see misleading information online, here are some Google Trends comparisons:

Sony a7r3 vs. Nikon D850 (no surprise here, we already knew that the D850 outsold the a7R3):
