    Will this be the LAST Nikon DSLR I ever own? Could it be the last PRO Nikon I ever own as well? This is a video that discusses the future of the DSLR as well as calls out what I am personally looking for in a PRO camera at this point.
    Will I switch to Sony or Canon? Or will I end up staying right where I am with Nikon because I already have a ton of glass? I guess only time will tell.

    UPDATE. I SOLD MY NIKON D5 to Allen's Camera in the middle of July 2018. It was time, it was going to continue to drop in price and I wasn't using it. It was a tough decision and I will miss the build quality and high ISO handling of it....but, I had to make the right business decision. I will be using Z7 and Z6 and Sony a9 where needed.

      Aouch.... i bought the D5 about a month ago...do you think i made a mistake ? :s a was a lil' bit obsessed by the D5 (as i was obsessed the the D3 before buying it ^^), but now, i watch your videos and i discovered the Z system.... and it's true that it looks really avantageous, to see directly the exposition and the results of other settings, and also, the focus points on the full surface of the sensor, the ftz adapter... i make sports, planes, nature and animal photography... do you think it's better to sale my D5 now or i can keep it for a moment ? and, a lil' question; Z7 or Z6 ? for price/perfs, if i can buy a good lens more, it should be really great ! thank you in advance !

I guess I'll always have one foot in the door of mirrorless and one in the DSLR realm. Two different tools for different jobs.

      You are so right! Most people don't get it... I have no particular loyalty to any particular camera manufacturer (I have used both Canon and Nikon in the past) as for me it has always been a case of "this is what I want from my camera" and it didn't really matter who made it. I now have all Sony gear because the cameras can take my favourite old lenses and provide the technology and capabilities I want. They are the best cameras I have ever used. This isn't about dumping Canon or Nikon - if they had manufactured what I wanted I would have bought the gear from them, simple as that.
      I agree with everything both you and Jared have said.

      I had an Elan II E with the eye detect AF (where it detects the photographer's eye, not the subjects). I really liked it. Also, I think it had mirror lockup and the only Nikon camera that had mirror lockup at that time was a lot more expensive.

    • @bentonbrightwell8953
      @bentonbrightwell8953 Před 5 lety

      I don’t see why they wouldn’t just make a mirrorless D6 organically with a vertical grip body, and include/offer an adapter to adapt old lenses if desired. That way they could reduce a lot of the weight of the D5 by keeping the main part of the body thin, but also have a solid, full sized grip and the familiar vertical grip body format. No, it doesn’t make the body any less large in overall size, but it does save a lot of weight. I think that especially to the sports photographer who use this body style, that comfort is far more important the compactness, especially since these are usually the people wielding those ultra-tele primes. But taking a lot of the bulk out in one part of the body without affecting the comfortbly not changing the grip would be welcomed, and as I stated would lower the weight, another considerable factor.

      @MLWATKK glass is indeed important and much is to be said about ergonomics and even how pretty a camera is as it may or may not influence how much you actually want to shoot with it.
      With all of that being said though, I buy what I want and haven't settled on a brand really. I shoot Canon and Sony. Canon has cheaper high-quality glass, so I just bought a 70-200 Tamron 2.8 g2 (like the one Fro gave away), the nifty 50, and I use the Sigma 35mm 1.4. On the Sony, I utilize the Tamron 28-75 for most of my video work and adapt the Sigma with the MC-11 and use the 90mm 2.8 Sony Macro.
      Use what works best for you. For me, that means using two or 3 systems.

      Tough making those kind of swaps, at least if you include native lenses. I made the jump mostly for the weight savings with the A7ii. My shooting takes me deep into the wilderness where the wild things are. The lighter my setup can be the better, of course without sacrificing quality. I wanted to grab the a7rii, but the lenses made that prohibitive. Next camera body jump for me will be either the a7riv, a7siii/a7siv, a9ii, or possibly an a9rii. My main concerns at the moment are fast autofocus, silent shooting, and pixel count. The other things I would like to see is better dynamic range, and ISO performance.

    I think, the hybrid system that you mentioned, will be useful to keep your old lenses. And I think that may be important.

    I'm on the exact same page as you at the moment. I'm using the Z7 and loving the new novelty of mirrorless, but I'm ready to go to a pro mirrorless system. I can definitely get the job done with the Z7, but Pro features (More Straight Forward AF, Higher Continuous, Proper Grip) would make it more feasible for frequent operation. For my particular job, Nikon taking video seriously has been a godsend reducing my travel bag in half. I'm curious to see how far Nikon wants to push the video in their pro body since they don't have to compete with themselves. Nikon's lack of a previously existing line of video cameras may end up being their most valuable opportunity in the market.

I'm worrying about many things because of buying the 1st camera. I'm looking for Nikon d500 or canon7d Mark ii. Also Sony a6300, 6400, 6500 Has almost same specifications, which one can I go for? I knew one need at least 300mm lenses for capturing 🐦 and wildlife. There are loads of lenses available on Sigma Tamron which are cheaper and good. But for mirrorless they're manufacturing. But soon it will arrive to the market. So could you please suggest some ideas, which one can I go for? now
