I guess I dont find anything lacking yet, I just wasnt sure if the Nikon side is just a huge improvement or not. I currently use a rebel t3 and want to upgrade to the 7d mark ii,but I was also considering changing brands if it would be a big upgrade.
KEH's selection has shrunk a lot. I used to browse it to see what lenses were worth, but now there are so many lenses missing.
Not to mention the step in build quality. I want nothing to do with Rebels and D3xxx/D5xxx toy cameras, they feel horrible to me in the hands.
My latest pickup. Not quite the camera of my dreams, but it will do as my introduction to full frame. First lens on my list is the 55mm prime.
There is most likely no hand holding this set up...then again IBIS, so probably. Would really breath some new life into the older D lenses.Never took a pic of the GH5:
+ 180 f2.8
That's really touching on why I want nothing for video work...I do it for my job, but freelancing? Nope with the amount of prep work and extra stuff to bring and rigs I want nothing to do with it. I always find it weird that nobody seems to use the Panasonic stuff for simple photography work.

, a Pentax 50mm, and the 50mm Canon macro you recommended. Going to busy for a while!What is that in american dollars and what form factor?
Yeah that works. I hate the toy brand cameras personally, see if you can find a refurb D7100, it's what I started on for the most part and it's still a really good camera. By for factor I pretty much meant size so that helped. If you want something smaller with newer tech you can look into a Panasonic G7, it's a micro 4/3rds sensor though.Its 549.83 in American dollars and we are looking for a SLR camera. We have our eye on a Nikkon D3300 or a
D3400. Not sure what u mean with form factor but i hope i answered your question

The battery thing might be the reason why I'm hesitant on mirrorless. I don't always keep my camera charged fully and sometimes I wind up not charging the thing for like a week. I just keep two batteries in there and depending on what I'm doing I don't have to charge it for a week. I had to do a corporate headshot shoot today with no warning. Banged out about 390 shots and still have two bars left on the battery that's in the grip, just checked and it's at 25%. That's a battery that has been on an event shoot, and a model shoot the next day, so in total 787 pics, not including whatever I delete while chimping. The battery in the camera is on a 97% charge so I can still probably do two long haul shoots without a recharge.
I think once you get used to the longevity of a fat dslr battery it's hard to deal with something else. That and the nature of EVF's in general kind of spell battery drain. I can shoot all day without switching. I've probably only killed a battery once on my D7100 during an all day parade shoot where I shot probably 1200 pictures.
Just take an air blower and blow out the sensor, worst case scenario just clean off your sensor. Might just be from constant lens switching. If it permeates send it to Nikon.
I got the D810 over the 750 mainly for build quality, it's no slouch in low light either...it's not at good as the 750 is supposed to be, but I have no complaints really.
I'm personally leery with recommending people older mirrorless cameras cause it took that industry a good chunk of time to get it's act together. Pretty much anything that isn't an A6000 would be a no go for me and ergonomically I don't even like the A6000. The M looks like a Sony A5100, which is another camera I'd never go for. You can get an Olympus EM10 Mk 1 and still get a better camera than the Canon M.
Exactly. That's why I'm weirded out by people thinking photojournalists are going to trade in their DSLR's for Sony bodies. No the fuck they ain't. Matt Granger couldn't even make the switch and that was because of their shoddy customer service. Sony has good tech, I'll always applaud their tech, but some of the tech doesn't really replace practicality and shit actually working.
A D750 is more than enough to do all those things.
This is why you've got to look at a dude weird if he's reviewing a camera that he's only had for a half hour. I think you've really got to put a camera through its paces for a bit before you can get a good read on it. I'm still learning stuff about my D810.
Work? Better get a D610 at the very least or 6D.
