DSLR vs. Mirrorless (yes I know this has been done to death)

Appreciate your dilemma. Use a D850 and a Z6 . Bought the Z6 after a GAS attack with the intention of dumping DSLR. Now realise that there is no perfect camera and that each has it unique problem etc.
There is no need to vascillate, just be confounded and confused like me .
Today I am going to a butterfly house with camera attached. Will take the Z6 because of silent shutter , trouble is that the lens , Nikon 70-180 macro , won't autofocus on the Z6 but does on the D850. So to make the manual focus easier I would like to use flash . Z6 silent shutter will not trigger flash ! So I will use a LED (Rotolight Neo 1, old but works ) to over come this issue.
Back to the anxiety tablets.

Hahaha! Good reply. Yes each camera excels at something. I fail to see how anyone would prefer the EVF of (in my case) the X-T3 over the OVF on the D850. Either they've never used one or they're kidding themselves.
You know the D850 has an electronic silent shutter too?

That sounds pretty scientific :-)
Can I suggest for your 15th birthday you buy yourself a dictionary? And maybe a course in English comprehension?

You may suggest whatever crosses your itty bitty mind. “Comprehension” ? Can’t help that you feel you’re misunderstood.
Don’t embarrass yourself too badly shooting the wedding with the wrong camera, and thanks for the entertainment. Looking forward to your next thread. And never forget to always remember: the whole world is watching.

Which one is the Nikon?

The sharpest one... though sharp is probably the wrong term because it implies the 'less' sharp one was out of focus. Probably the more correct description would be the one with the higher resolution.
Can't you tell?

Hi
Yes the D850 does have an E shutter but its not as good the Z6 and and EVF , use of histogram in it .
Why cant life be easy. .

I have been using the Nikon Z50 mirrorless instead of my D7100 with the converter which allows me to use all my Nikon lenses. It has a great grip and is much lighter. I have not made side by side comparisons but have been happy with the output.

OK so I’m sitting at home and my niece phones me and she says “Uncle Tony, we’ve decided to get married tomorrow and I want you to be the photographer and I want you to take the very best photos you can manage”. I book an airline ticket but there are weight restrictions so I can only take one camera. Which do I take, the mirrorless or the DSLR?
Go on a diet so you don't have to choose.

Every now and again you get a reply that indicates a degree of intelligence. Sadly this isn't one of them...

But if I was to make an exception in just this case which camera do I choose?
Depends on whether you plan to send just a toaster or toaster oven. I personally like the toaster ovens as they are much more versatile. I particularly like the Live View feature so you can see how your toast looks as it cooks. Of course in-toaster light settings and the natural lighting will affect how well you can see the resolution of your toast. And don't forget that you need to keep the glass panel really clean to see the best output you can expect. I generally like my toast SOT, without any special settings and post toast processing.
Good luck with your gift selection!

A camera is a tool, Marion, no better or no worse than any other tool, an axe, a shovel or anything.
A camera is as good or as bad as the man using it.
Remember that.
