Thank You for mentioning the wildlife photog and the squabbles he experienced.

I started this thread about my wondering about photogs migrating to the " Z " system,but then leaving it again,...but to where?

Granted,I do not know all the others,but it seems to me that there is no " better " alternative.

Nikon has always been able to implement real improvements that work,and being very consistent about it, whereas other makes come with something that at closer look are not that impressive, I remember when Olympus showed up with the M1 and the court case that ensued by Leica no less, what a circus that was, today Olympus has no pro-system that matches Nikon...and Minolta who was first with autofocus in a pro camera, ...gone !

The only true rival is Canon,but is their offering a better one then ?

Several members here have gone over to brands that do not have the same huge lens range that Nikon offers,and, some of their lenses are very expensive, so is this a case then of " I am not going to use what grandpa has " ?

I think it was Graham Whistler who showed some lovely photo`s taken in Africa with a Nikon rig,but has now a Sony, ..so why is that one better ?

Personally I stay with the SLR and have in recent years heavily invested in VR lenses as I rely heavily on Nikon`s famed reliability.
