To the #Camera folks here, does it make sense to buy a #Nikon D850 in 2023? I still have my expensive Nikon lenses and was wondering if I should get a new body to use them.
@kushal Depends on your budget. If you can go the Z mirrorless route, it's better - the EVF and seeing real-time preview is quite helpful. Highly recommend you spring for the FTZ adapter to use your old glass. For photography, more often than not, glass > body.
Yes, Nikon's AF is not as good as Sony's or Canon's but for now, it's good enough for an enthusiast or prosumer levels.
@kushal I have a ancient Nikon- DSLR, was looking around this summer go get a bit more modern house but it was few out there. Most have moved on I guess (i have a UW-house that I wont replace but a modern DSLR would be nice, i have had a hiatus - i wanna save my D200 for underwater... )
@kushal at that price point I’d pick up the z7ii with the ftz to use your lenses. Probably lots of good second hand options available with the recent z8 release
@kushal yes, but it is also about half the price compared to the D850. But maybe my tip was about giving you a taste of just how much has happened with DSLR recently. As I write, with the 6700 Sony raises the bar a lot.
