high iso. most ppl buying nex’s do so for it’s great high iso ability, something the small sensor nikons simply can’t compete against. all things being equal, they will all take great photos but only one of them is truly low light capable.
fast af is advantageous for sure, but given a choice, most ppl would take avaerage/good af and superb low light over just very fast af.
then there’s also the problem that the omd em5 also has lightning quick/accurate af with superb low light…. and even at lower cost, the nikon becomes a very tough sell except to the brand enthusiasts. I’m a nikon fan and i still wouldn’t plonk cash for their mirrorless (nor would i for canon’s sorry entry to the segment).
