Verdict
Pick the Nikon Z5 if you prioritize modern connectivity, a less cropped 4K video mode, and a lower-resolution sensor that may yield cleaner low-light performance. The Sony A7R II stays the better choice if you need significantly higher resolution for stills and can tolerate its older ergonomics and heavier weight.
