I am still thinking about mirrorless as quite a few of the guys i know have changed over and are producing great wildlife shots.
The big thing for me is I would need to try it for a few weeks to be sure.
That's the point I was making earlier...to some extent it doesn't matter what camera you have.
As Ella said....“T'aint what you do, it's the way that you do itâ€.
I'm sure if we were ranking camera's performance for wildlife, the D500 would come top of everyone's list. But a D850 or Z7 in the right hands and situation will not be far behind....if at all.
And remember, the only weight saving is the difference between the Nikon bodies when using focal lengths above 70mm.
D500.... 760g
Z bodies ....675g, plus ZF adapter weight!
Having tried the Fuji 100-400 on an XT2 I was not impressed with speed and balance. The XT3 may well be better, but you then need to buy their lenses.
And at the risk of offending some...... WEX happily offer 28days unconditional return on all new sales. I had a Z7 for a week before I decided it wasn't what I wanted for wildlife. They picked it up and refunded in total. It's a fact of internet selling life and covered by the remote purchasing law. So I don't have any qualms about doing it occasionally.
