I rarely see a statement of fact punctuated with a question mark: Both with over 500K activations? He was being succinct. In reply to your demand that he give reasons, he said: my cameras have been ...

You say his reasons aren't solid. So, yes, you are the judge of what reasons are valid or not. But, later you say reasons don't matter.

Just a short while back you thought reasons were verrrrry important. Not sure the op needs a good reason gatekeeper.

The reason he gave is that both cameras have over 500,000 actuations. Which suggests he thinks they are at or near the end of their lives and thus is in the market for a replacement. Which I think ...

Doesn't the light coming from ovf screen originate in the scene as channeled through the lens?  No matter how imperfectly. So, it is reflected through the screen while the light from the evf ...

How are you defining screen. I think most people are thinking along these lines the surface on which the image appears in an electronic display (as in a television set, radar receiver, or computer ...

I have owned neither camera so can't offer any thoughts about the comparative functionality.   On the other hand, I have seen and handled a Zf and all I can say is Wow, it looks fantastic!  You ...

So, the cost of switching to mirrorless is a, and maybe the, prime obstacle in your making the move. I can afford the move and can lessen the impact by selling my two DSLRs and a few of my FX ...

I am just saying the law was to enable repairs not limit them. Doesn't this only apply to cameras bought and repaired in California? Another factor is the repair records of the different cameras. ...

After they gave me the estimate, I had them return it to me. They did not repair it. The local shop did at half the price. Nikon had the parts. Well, they did the repair and the camera works so ...

I said Nikon gave me an estimate for the repair and I chose to have it done by a local shop. Nikon had the parts. Yes, I feel the same way.

And some people could improve the way they phrase things. For example: For those people who are 'still' using a D500, are you 'even' considering a mirrorless camera. I don't see the need for those ...

It seemed to me that your third question hinted at an agenda.   The idea that a D500 will at some point not be repairable is an oft stated con of keeping a DSLR.  Repeating that as a question does ...

The mini sd card was chosen due to the limited space inside the Zf. Nikon thought it was better that than nothing. I think it will be used. I would just pop it in and leave it there as a back up.

I went to my local Best Buy and spoke to a clerk. He was not from the camera department and had no camera knowledge. He wasn't sure he was allowed to unbox it but went with the flow and did. ...

I bought a Nikon 28-105 for about $90 for my D610 when I replaced the 17-70 I had been using on dx. Took it to Massachusetts a couple of weeks ago. Does a nice job shooting wide dof shots at f8 ...

You really can't expect a two year old pro camera to be as affordable as a much earlier model. The D5 is 7 years old.  I expect in five years there will be some great deals on the Z9 and you can ...

Visited New England a couple of weeks ago.  Took just my D610 and Nikon 28-105 f3.5-4.5. Working my way through the images.  Saw quite a few covered bridges.   This one in Vermont: After seeing the ...

I don't think about the number of keepers as if there is some ideal percentage.  I get what I get and I don't get upset. But, I'm never fully satisfied with my technique and try to figure out ways ...

Unusually rapid? The D850 that was bought for $3300 back in 2017 can now be sold for a range of prices but let's average it off at $1500. About 50%. After 5 years, a Highlander retains about 50% ...
