That's nice to know, but I'd still like something with more MP. The D850 sensor is nearly 3 times the D4 in MP, so wouldn't a converted D850 image be roughly on par with mono D4 image? I would be ...

That's my point. Strip it down so that it's cheaper to make, they can bring down the cost, and make it more attractive for the relatively niche market. If they price it over 3K, they're going to ...

It renders MuP moot.

No, you can still get shutter-shock / mirror-slap, even if on a timer (or you trigger remotely, which is also not touching the camera). I believe your best option is to use Silent Shutter. The ...

I would buy a dedicated monochromatic F=Mount body, but I'm not sure if I would want to pay D850 launch price for it. The way I would use a mono camera, I wouldn't need even 1/2 of the D850 ...

I haven't read the entire thread, so I'll keep this short: I would compare the Picture Control settings of the two cameras (the JPG configuration engine). They're different EXPEED processors (3 vs. ...

It sounds like you don't need the Android app so much as the Lightroom plug-in, as the plug-in supports track logs from any device, such as a handheld GPS, or any smartphone app that produces a ...

When it comes to photography, our photographs are not just playback mediums: they are source files for potentially several steps of editing before producing the end result. So a better comparison ...

I'm partial to stone tablets, my own bad self.

Beware, ye who tempt fate so.

From my POV: I would rather buy my second camera body when it is financial feasible. It would suck to have your main camera go down and not be able to replace it at that time. We don't all have ...

There have been many times when I wanted a second D850 for a backup camera. Then the little voice tells me "it's kind of weird having 2 of the same thing, in'it?" So I've just kept my older DSLR. B ...

LV "resolves" mirror slap. That is, if you take your exposure in LV, you get no mirror slap because the mirror was raised into place when you turned LV on. I agree that there is no advantage to ...

It's still a mystery to me when it gets that way. My D850 doesn't require the OK button be pressed each time. That is, it seems to mostly remember the state it was in the last LV use. Then suddenly ...

Technical reviews are indeed matters of opinion, but they aren't for gushing emotion. I agree that a 5.0 across the board (and for all of your cameras) is worthless. You're peeing in the pool of ...

I see what you mean. I guess I have most of the focal range covered, but would find some trouble at the wide end. Chris

Why bother getting a DX lens with it if you already have a full compliment of lenses? A DX lens with the same focal length of a FX lens is still going to give you the same FOV on a DX camera. Chris

I suppose you might want to use Mup and EFCS in situations where you can't use Silent LV due to lighting that might cause banding. Here's an article that covers EFCS and mentions Mup as well: https ...

Mup requires that you press the shutter button to flip it up, and that action does nothing more. Then you press the shutter button a second time for exposure. It's kind of a PITA since each ...

Since I've had the D850 with it's Silent Live View, I haven't used either. The mirror is already up and the shutter is all electronic (not even a rear curtain). Other cameras won't give you EFCS ...
