 Really don't care what they call it....if it hasn't significantly improved the EVF response, retained ergonomic feel and extended battery life, it's full frame sensor (24 or 45mp) won't be enough to woo me. But lightweight and wysiwyg exp compensation are very tempting.

I too prefer FX. But I wouldn't go back to a D5. I much prefer the feel in the hand of the D750 and now D850.

Of course I also like bird photography ...hence the D500.

So it's going to be an interesting 2 way choice for me.

1) Mirrorless for general photography and the D500 dedicated to bird/tele work?
2) D850 for everything....and hope cropping achieves same as a D500?

o.O


I am not put off by my excursion into Fuji mirrorless land...in fact I now know more clearly the strengths and weaknesses of the system. I really do hope Nikon have tackled the 3 inherent problems of mirrorless cameras. And if they have I would dip my toe in the mirrorless water again....but this time with more restraint on lens acquisition.
