Both cameras are massive overkill for the average needs of RE shooting.  You don't need all that resolution. Use will be internet, or small images on printed materials.  Perhaps video tour.  You ...

+1  Lever clamp on my BH-55 clamps pretty much to anything.  The only exception to this was my Wimberly Side-kick gimbal... and Wimberly has an adapter plate for that specific application. Rand

If speed of autofocus and tracking ability are your main needs, you might want to look at the Sony 6000 series cameras.  From the reviews I've seen the AF and tracking are stellar. I don't think ...

+1 I'm a committed LR user. My preferred workflow. BUT with RAF files, not so much. At first I thought that the X-Transformer was just another excuse for not knowing how to use the Detail panel in ...

ZERO importance.  It just adds cost, mechanical complexity, potential sensor alignment issues, weight, thickness of body, etc. With OIS as good as exists in the 50-140 and 100-400 I need IBIS like ...

This color discussion is silly.  Take any decent professional level camera, use good profiling software, create a good quality dual-illuminant profile for the camera to be applied in demosaicing, ...

Good choice/decision. Best of luck w/ the upgrade. Here's a link to Puget Systems, they make beautiful computers (they made one for me), but there is also good information here about choices of ...

Lightroom is more processor hungry than it is RAM hungry. It also benefits from running the program from an SSD.  Video card performance is meh, as the GPU implementation is, shall we say, less ...

I have way too many lenses.  But I keep my gear in a large bag w/ wheels, and also take a small back-pack type bag with me, empty.  When I go off on "safari" I load up the back-pack w/ the lens ...

Yup... makes me grumpy, too.  So, on my latest Rx for glasses I had one pair made with "transitions" lenses that get dark in sunlight w/ no polarization.  Work great.  Leave the polarized driving ...

In other words, it's a leaf-shutter!  Not prone to shutter shock and has other advantages also when it comes to shooting with strobes. Rand

I own both.  Love them both.  "Horses for courses."  Most of the good glass is big enough to be unpractical for the OVF.  I don't think much of the Pro2's EVF (Looks like a tiny fuzzy window ...

Agree with others about taking the 50-140. But you won't be taking Route 1 from LA to the Bay Area.  It is closed due to very large landslide. Rand

"We must of had hundreds of local hobbyists and fellow photographers view the prints. The result was basically 50/50...in other words, a coin toss. There just isnt enough of a difference at 250ppi ...

I think your biggest issue isn't $170.  I think it is that the two cameras could not be farther apart in terms of just about everything "camera."  FF vs APSC, DSLR vs mirrorless, OVF vs EVF, ...

"Analogies between film and digital aren't always correct, particularly with respect to ISO. To summarize, the correct analogy is: (1) The typical digital camera is like a film camera with a single ...

Roger that.  Proceed in your current direction of understanding.  Apologize for missing the ISO as part of the brightness equation.  My answer to that is NO.  To my way of thinking you are ...

"Brightness is practically unrelated to the amount of light hitting the sensor. One can get the same image brightness from any exposure by appropriately amplifying the signal and/or scaling the ...

Which is exactly the reason I used the qualifier "classically" correct exposure to shape my definition. Careful reading is indicated. OF COURSE, as artists we mess with all of the supposed rules ...
