Take a look at the comparison between recently announce Sony A7 II Mirrorless camera and waiting to be updated Canon 5D Mark III DSLR.
Sensor
The recently announced Sony uses a Hybrid AF CMOS sensor that fabricated with 117 Phase AF points inside it, the camera also features additional 25 contrast based AF points, on the other hand the Canon 5D Mark II uses a additional AF sensor with 61-point autofocus points and 41 cross-type AF points (with f/4 lens support) and 5 dual diagonal AF points (with f/2.8 sensitivity).
AF System
The 5D Mark III phase AF system is active only when you are using viewfinder, when you are recording videos or using live view display unit the contrast AF system gets activated and phase AF system gets deactivated.
Sony A7 II HYBRID AF system is always active weather you are using a viewfinder, display unit for shooting your fav composition or when you are recording videos.
We recommend you to get Sony A7II is you are a sports shooter.
Best Camera for low-light or available light
The Low light sensitivity of Sony A7 II is limited to -1EV and Canon 5D Mark III supports lowlight sensitivity upto -2EV, the other major advantage of Canon 5D Mark III is High ISO range compared to (25600 vs 102400), so best camera for available / low-light is Canon 5D Mark III.
Image Stabilization
The 5-Axis SteadyShot INSIDE Stabilization, This compensates for five types of camera shake encountered during handheld shooting of still images and video, No sensor shift IS available in 5D Mark III.
Video
Both the camera records Full HD videos, but the Canon 5D Mark III Full HD is limited to 30fps and Sony A7 II can record Full HD videos at 60 fps.
Other
The Canon 5D Mark III offers more battery life but the Sony A7 II is light-weight and easy to carry, the Sony A7 II features wireless connectivity

 Take a look at the core specification comparison of the Sony A7 II and the Nikon D750 camera, In the first look we see the Sony A7 is more compact and easy to carry machine compared to the big and bulky Nikon D750 camera… take a look inside for more difference between…
 Before we start we we must assure that both camera is n0t using the same sensor, since Nikon does have a habit of using Sony sensor but the internal architecture of both the sensor is completely different.
Sensor
The Sony A7 II sensor is built with active phase AF points inside, the A7 II sensor features Enhanced Fast Hybrid AF that includes 117 phase detect AF and 25 contrast detection points.
The Nikon D750 sensor is a traditional one and features no active phase AF pixels inside, the camera have a different AF module (Multi-CAM 3500FX II) having 51 AF points and works only when you are using Viewfinder. The Contrast AF system is active while you are using display screen and recording videos.
Image Stabilization:
The Sony A7 II is world first fullframe mirrorless camera features Sony made 5 axis image stabilization system, if you are using long focal length lenses it will correct pitch and yaw adjustments, if you are using macro lenses it will correct horizontal and vertical shift compensation, the 5 axis will work in almost all types of lenses (including the third party lenses), also you can see the image stabilization system preview when you press the shutter button halfway.
Native ISO vs Expendable ISO
The Native ISO range of Nikon D750 is limited to 100-12800 and the expandable range of Nikon is 50-51200, Sony A7 II native ISO range is 100-25600 and expendable ISO range is 50-25600, so theoretically Sony should perform better.
Shutter
The continuous shooting speed of Sony A7 II is limited to 5 fps at full resolution, the Nikon D750 offers continuous shooting speed upto 8fps at full resolution.
OVF
I always orefer optical viewfinder over the EVF, it delivers realistic image to eye .. however its my choice.
Connectivity
The Sony A7 II offers built-in WiFi and NFC connectivity, it allows you to wireless transfer you files among remote devices and also allow you to use your smartphone to operate camera from distance aka remote shooting.
Verdict:
Based on specification comparison review we highly recommend you to buy Sony A7 II camera, however if you are Nikon system user then you may go with Nikon D750.

Both camera look similar form outside but do they differ from inside or almost have same core specification, take a look at the core difference below…
 Unfortunately both camera are using 16 Mp APS-C X-Trans CMOS II Sensor and EXR II image processor, hence the image quality will remains same from both the camera.
Both camera share same Fujinon 23mm f/2 Fixed Focal Length Lens,
Again in AF system there is no change, Both the camera shares same Hybrid AF system and AF points, so again no change here.
Since the sensor is same and image processor is also same, by implementing new image processing algorithm, Fuji is able to get ISO upto 51200. But it doesn’t mean you will see significant difference in the image quality of both the camera.
A redesigned shutter mechanism, which is now entirely electronic, also delivers quickened shutter speeds up to 1/32,000 sec.
Built-in WIFi to share your files easily without any physical pain.
Verdict: If you are a owner of X100S than wait for Fuji X200, since there is no change in the sensor, image processor and lens of both the camera.

 The Fujifilm X30 is a clone of X20 camera, since it features same small sensor and image processor as of X20 camera, on the other side we have Sony RX100 M3 camera that features 1 inch large sensor and very small and compact body design… take a look at the core specification below….
 Sensor Tech: The fujifilm features 2/3″ CMOS image sensor and built with X-Trans bespoke pixel array, the pixel pattern literally reduce the need of optical low pass filter above the sensor, the other major advantage of the X-Trans sensor is the presence of active phase AF pixels inside the sensor, so you get HYBRID AF system that uses contrast and phase AF method with the X30 camera to acquire AF.
the Sony RX100 M3 comes with large 20.1 megapixel 1″ Exmor R CMOS sensor features backside-illuminated technology, due to the large sensor size and bright optical lens the sensor get more light compared to Fuji X30 sensor and the difference is clearly visible… the RX100 M3 does produces excellent level of details in the images by maintaining the minimum amount of noise.
Lens: As we have already said that the lens used in the RX100 M3 camera delivers more light compared to the X30 camera not only due to the difference in the aperture range but also due to the difference in the size of lens elements, the RX100 M3 lens elements are designed for large sensor by and they also feature low aperture range… so the RX100M3 will provide more shallow DOF and noise less low-light images when compared to the X30.
Being small the Fuji lens is able to focus as close as 1cm, the Sony RX100 M3 macro range is limited to 5 cm, you also get 1X more optical zoom lens with Fuji X30.
AF System: We have no doubt that the Fuji X30 will do faster AF since it features advance AF sensor that utilizes Phase and Contrast based methods, on the other side we have Sony RX100 M3 uses traditional contrast detect AF system.
Top continuous speed: Fujifilm x30 can take up to 12 continuous shots whereas Sony RX100 III can take up to 10 shots continuously.
Display: Both the cameras support the same 3” tilting LCD but their pixels varies. Sony RX100 III has a pixel density of 1,228,800 pixels whereas Fujifilm x30 has a pixel density of 920000 pixels.
Hot Shoe: Fujifilm x30 has a hot shoe on its body to attach an external flash for better lightning conditions when required.
Battery life: Fujifilm X30 can take 470 shots in one cycle but Sony RX100 III can take 320 shots only.
Dimensions: Sony RX100 III is smaller than Fujifilm X30.
Weight: Sony RX100 III is lighter than Fujifilm X30.
Verdict: We highly recommend you to buy the Sony RX100 M3 camera.
