I see your point on the costs….and I am sure the latest Nikons do match or improve to some extent on models like the D850. My point is more that I no longer need or hanker for all the whizz and bang capabilities that manufacturers are now adding to cameras.
Sad though it may be, to some extent I have lost a lot of my passion and drive for “going out to take photos”.
Now… it’s taking any lightweight camera with me when I go out to do other things just in case. In that scenario, having an expensive top of the range camera is pointless overkill. A camera that feels good in the hand, is compact, that I understand and takes decent snaps is all I need.
If I can't take a photograph in my garden and surroundings, I'm not going to cart 1.7kg or over 3lbs around walking about in the countryside looking for opportunities. Any way I'd probably need to take a tripod as well, not to mention another heavy long lens. The Canon Powershot SX170 has a 5-80mm lens, and weighs b....r all, and sits nicely on the dashboard of the Berlingo and it's unobtrusive.
