When mirrorless can actually replace DSLRs ... rather than being "interesting, but severely-hobbled" alternatives ;)

Because some people *stack* images at f/2.8, for the sublime bokeh, and achieve their DOF through the stack. F/8 images suck, quite frankly, bokeh-wise, in comparison to stacked images that retain...

Still, if you take a D750 image. and then crop-in to get the same framing as the D500, it's the fully-framed D500 image that blows the cropped-in D750 image away ... hence the D500's value as a...

Just imagine how much better the D850 is, then ;)

Exactly, because I have the D850, I really don't need the Z6 or Z7. I actually prefer the size of the D850 also, I don't want a "child-size" camera.

And, yes, I don't like the look of the new...

I am going to keep my D850, because (at the end of the day) it's a better camera than the Z7 *and* the Sony A7rIII ... and is just a pleasure to use ... no banding, no BS, better AF and better...

ptox, why so many rhetorical questions?

If you're too stupid to see that the whole point of this camera is for "in-camera processing," for quick shares to social media, then that is your lack of...

If it was capable of inter-changeable lenses, it would indeed be interesting. But without the ability to interchange lenses, sorry, but it's a glorified cell phone.

I would NEVER pay *any* company...

Glorified cell phone, without the phone, and without the connectivity of a phone. Freaking waste of money. Who would pay $2-3K for a camera with a fixed lens, and no other options, when you can get...

Another yawner for the macro world.

* 270° of focus throw = every other iteration of every other lens in this class.
* Rubber focus ring? Is that supposed to be a bonus?
* 1:1 = every other...

Nicely done, and great concept.

BobT;
Do you realize Cosina makes every single Zeiss lens, including the Otus series, per Zeiss specs?

LOL @ what Necip said. I had the same relationship ... left Canon for Nikon, because they satisfied me where it counts, rather than leave me "wanting" every time ;)

HFLM-

You neglect the fact I actually shoot with the lens.

You also neglect the fact the Sony A6700 is a slow, unathletic dog compared to the Nikon D500, and you further neglect the fact the...

Thanks, Necip. I actually owned the 300mm f/2.8G VR II, for 2 years, before "downgrading" to the 300mm f/4E PF.

I was really worried I would lose image quality and feared I would have "seller's...

Necip, I don't think either of us knows the finer points of Nikon/Sony's interactions. I would imagine that current technology/mainstream specs are what dictate the parameters, not "Sony." Again,...

HFLM -

The difference between you and me is ACTUAL KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE.

I don't need to "cut-and-paste articles" ... I actually own the 2xTCE III, and I actually own the f/4 300mm lens...

Necip-
"Designed" and "made" are different animals.

For example, if you design a brand of multi-vitamins (your research, your ingredients, your ratios), and then you send those specs to a FAB...

@Necip-
Correction, Nikon actually chose TowerJazz for its sensor manufacturer, and Sony wound up buying that company.

Realize also that Nikon DESIGNS ITS OWN SENSORS ... the now-Sony-owned...

@HFLM -
We? Do you have a mouse in your pocket?

Sony markets its 400 f/2.8 as being "ultra-light," but actually offers NOTHING as light as what Nikon offers with the 500 f/5.6, which MTF figures...
