Not sure Nikon would agree with that.

o.O


That is exactly what Nikon do, they make cameras which are targeted at specialised usage areas. They even say so in their brochures, "perfect for sport" or "Ideal for the catwalk", "specially for Astro" etc.

D5 for press and top end general photography, D500 for speed and long lens, nature etc. D810a for UV, IR and astronomy, D850 for ultra high resolution allowing either cropping or very large prints, fashion.

And so on. No one camera it perfect in every situation. Some demand speed some demand High res.

I haven't even mentioned video, while I know that's controversial, many professionals DO use DSLR's for video and some are designed to excel at video, the D850 for example.

A feature which is an asset in one area of photography can be a liability in others.

Probably the strongest example from the current/recent lineup is the D810a.
