I use the d750 now and love it. My thinking is better resolution and some features like focus stacking along with longer shutter life. Maybe I just have gas. Lol
Have you considered the D780? A hybrid camera. It’s the D750 and the Z6ii.

Semi-likewise.
Was using a 5DSR for high MP projects but I really dont care much for SLRs. I got it cuz it was very cheap. My "new" high MP body for EF lenses is a Z7. Its waaaaaaay more suitable. Plus it uses Leica-M lenses, impossible for an SLR.

It would be a true hybrid if it had an EVF (Nikon DOES have a patent for that) that would activate when the mirror is up. Unfortunately not possible to use Z lenses on it (without additional optics defeating the purpose).

Now that's a great photo! It says a lot about a type of life style!

I use it now and then as part if a reply for what it says, in this case an exaggeration about the inevitable fate of SLRs. But I must emphasize here that its not my own work ! (The author was "unlisted" at source.)

Slightly related: A couple of years ago, someone here pointed out that a "steep learning curve" means you learn quickly. Plotting learning and time, if the line goes up quickly, not much time has passed. We associate "steep" with difficult, but that's not always the case. Walking down a steep his is not very difficult.

Many years ago I had two cars, frequently using both interchangeably, a stick-shift Pontiac Tempest and a Chrysler wagon automatic. I never EVER reached for the clutch with the Chrysler or stalled the Tempest engine by not using the clutch, and never thought about it, from the very start and for as long as I had both! It all depends upon the individual rather than the "tool" involved!!! The same with my motorcycles - differing number of gears and shift mechanism - placement of neutral. If you have problems with that - don't ride; if you have problems going from one camera system to another - don't! Just don't assess others' needs based on your capabilities or lack thereof. And for some, there's essentially no "learning curve", while for others, it seems to go on forever.
There's nothing wrong with having a favorite system, though, for whatever reason. Just don't insist that it's the be all and end all for everyone!!! (And I never ever bought a Pontiac or Chrysler again - too many mechanical problems!!! - eventually learned: Toyota and Honda; Bultaco, Kawasaki and Honda.)

In my opinion Nikon is better for photography
Photography: microscope slides, birds in flight, solar eclipse or black cat on a very dark night???

Thanks Paul. As always your answers are well thought out and honest. After reading some of your other posts I thought you felt the dslr was going the way of the dinosaur . Maybe the nikon z7 II would be a better option. The reason I considered changing brands was I'm afraid nikon will fold. Thanks again, Bryan
Everyone would be ahead by listening carefully to Paul - even his humor!!!

If you do focus stacking in the field, automated focus stacking in a mirrorless camera is a game changer. With most DSLRs you have to have a settling time between the shots to allow the camera to get still after the shutter movement +/or the mirror movement to obtain the best results, particularly at higher magnifications. The between shot settling time means that wind or changing light has an increasing chance wreck your shot. When I was manually turning the focus ring or moving the camera on a rail, I used to allow two or three seconds between shots for the camera to settle. Once I automated the process and also used live view, I programed a second delay between shots to allow the camera to settle after the shutter movement. (It makes a difference when you are at 1:1 or higher magnifications) If you have a 30 image stack, you have just added an additional half a minute that wind or changing light can ruin your stack...a very real difference.
I don't know if it's GAS or if you do enough focus stacking to warrant the camera change. I do know that the difference is substantial.

If I were you, I would look at Olympus/OMDS and Panasonic. Smaller, lighter, and less costly. And the image stabilization is industry leading stabilization. If you are going to change systems, change to something smaller, lighter, and less costly.
No one is interested if its not the Big Three...
