Above is probably the best summary of the war between Sony, Nikon, and Canon. The Sony 600mm f/4 GM and 200-600mm f/5.6-6.3 have really rounded out Sony’s mirrorless system and there really isn’t a good argument for Nikon or Canon technological dominance anymore.
My friend that runs our sister sites has always commented on Sony’s lack of long glass whenever I compared Sony to Canon/Nikon and the minute I leaked Sony’s 200-600mm and asked him if it would satisfy him he said he would rather have Nikon’s 600mm f/4. Well now Sony has a 600mm f/4 that likely dominates the competition with its superior G Master design so now what will it take?
Sony is dominating this generation of cameras and Nikon/Canon are too far behind to catch up without obscene amounts of investment. Sony has spent billions of dollars year over year on mirrorless R&D since entering the mirrorless market while Canon and Nikon have spent conservatively to secure in their market place position. It is unlikely either will catch Sony soon with their mirrorless camera system, which should help Sony win the war to come.
