Canon and Nikon may stop production of DSLRs however, we did not stop using the gears we already own. They will last for at least a decade more for me.
So, no worries and keep shooting. Long live DSLRs.
]]>Thanks, Jack for your great insights – we had a hard time leaving out the D850, as I’ve owned and shot professionally with it and loved it too. However, it’s just a bit too bulky and expensive when compared to the D780 in my opinion. I’ve also shot with the D810 and enjoyed it. In short, it’s hard to whittle down to the ‘best’ options, but these are what we chose for now. Also as a side note, I love a good tilt-screen :)
]]>I have been a photo buff since 1975 (first prosumer camera was the Nikon F2, which in 1976, with the Nikon f4.5 70-200mm zoom, I was fortunate enough to photograph President Ford at the lectern, giving his keynote speech during the ICSC convention…he autographed the pictue). Next was the FM2 for faster flash sync of 1/250th of a second. Went Pro in 1984 starting a campus photography business to pay my way through UCLA.
Andrew, with you being a landscape photographer, it really surprises me that you neglected to mention either one. The D810 will give any of the aforementioned cameras a run for their money in wedding or landscape photography. As far as a tilt screen goes, as a wedding photographer, it is just a nifty toy, begging to get broken (light stands get knocked over, camera boxes get knocked off tables or chairs, camera lenses and on camera flashes with diffusers get banged around, etc.). Note: I don’t do video.
D850 tilt screen not a big fan, but love the extra mega pixels and over all better equipped camera over the D810.
Thanks for the great article. Keep up the good work.
