Because a DSLR with an optical viewfinder is much better for sports photography and because this one is compatible with my other Nikon cameras. I am very tempted, and I haven't even read the specs yetI know I am an oddball thinker on this, but Dx format has never intrigued me. If I'm going to go smaller, then why not M4/3 instead?
Yep. Oddball. :ROTFL:I know I am an oddball thinker on this, but Dx format has never intrigued me. If I'm going to go smaller, then why not M4/3 instead?
This.Compared to the D810 (and most previous Nikon bodies), they have switched the ISO and Mode buttons. If I'm going to use these two cameras side-by-side, there will be some swearing every time I hit the wrong button, which I will. Frequently. :cussing:
It can't be harder than driving different cars - you adapt quickly.This.
And I'm also considering the D500 added to D800E in my bag, seems like a perfect duo, except the swearing part. :grin:
add: xqd + sd on the D500...
Adapt? Is the OVF vs EVF debate done with?It can't be harder than driving different cars - you adapt quickly.
If you don't want to carry 2 bodies, keep the D810. The D810 replacement will probably have the same AF system as this one though.I wanted something like that for Wildlife (the 7200 works so so for me). But I am a little underwhelmed about the 21MP which gives it a only slight advantage over the D810 in DX mode.
Maybe I wait for the D810 successor with higher MP count and better AF System … in DX mode, the cropping potential, buffer and frame rate should be sufficient for me and I have not to carry around 2 bodies, as I use FX quite a lot.
I don't know what quickly means to you, but I got a new car over a month ago, and I'm still struggling to adapt. Imagine me then, when switching between cameras within seconds :ROTFL:It can't be harder than driving different cars - you adapt quickly.
I am not touching that hot potato again.Adapt? Is the OVF vs EVF debate done with?
It's for taking photos and videoI just don't see the point to this camera
I want to carry large, expensive telephoto lenses. I just don't want to pay for them.It's for taking photos and video
Edit:
Jokes aside, it's basically a D5 with a crop sensor for a third of the price. Due to the crop sensor, reach is increased by 1.5x. It's an ideal camera for sports/action/wildlife photographers on a budget and those who don't want to carry large, heavy, expensive telephoto lenses.
Viewfinder is 100% 1.0x. Interesting.They have also copied the viewfinder design from the larger cameras, which is great, the AF coverage is much better than before, at least left to right, and the buffer takes 79 uncompressed and 200 lossless compressed 14 bit RAW files!
