Well done!
Can we expect best camera for cat photography?

No future, no future, no future for me.

I bought a used DF last Christmas and it’s like a charm compared to any of your Sonys.

Ergonomic wise all those Sonys are complete failure. A brick is better suited for my hand than a Sony.

Downsized RAWs are nonsense as is any software downsampling. They should have implemented real hardware 4 in 1 pixel combination instead.
No global shutter = fail to improve compared to older...

Don’t forget to seriously upgrade your computer! Happy new year!

I know only you and Samsung can make it, in fact you have already done it for your tiny smartphone sensors. I mean, we really need a variable MP sensor with global shutter. Personally, I don’t need ...

Sorry, my bad!

Shooting jpg now is like shooting polaroid back in film days. Nice try, Ken Rockwell!)

Anyway, I would not recommend D850 or 5DMkIV. Both are high MP monsters which produce large files so you will need fast powerful PC and lot of disk space for backups. Consider a used D5 or 1D.

My advice: stick to true cameras you have and use iPhone 13 Pro for snaps.

My lenses are 50mm f/1.2 ai-s, 135mm f/2 ai, 45mm f/2.8 ai-p (has cpu contacts) and 45mm f/2.8 GN (non ai). Both 45mm are true pancake lenses and silver 45mm ai-p is my go to lens on my silver DF. ...

I bought myself a Nikon DF last Christmas and have no regrets. And I sold all my other Nikon gear except for some manual focus lenses. Nikon DF is not a king of autofocus especially in low light.

What I see is many underexposed photos.

Try to shift WB/tint to warmer/magenta.

I kept my Nikon Df DSLR while getting Canon RP ML but still shoot occasionally Contax rangefinder film camera.
