I’m thinking just Old folks. I’m 70 and could care less how my photos appear when they are blown up so much that they show artifacts. I use Everything to enhance my photography including all the Topaz suites and the Adobe subscription….but if I went pixel peeping I would see strange stuff Everywhere. I use Sony cameras and they are 24 megapixel cameras and I crop extensively so I use software to eliminate noise and such. Is it because your camera is better than mine with the images blown up and you don’t see such artifacts. Or is it important because you sell your images? Or why is it important to you if you’re a retired old guy like me? I print 13X19 images on my Canon Pixel Pro 100 and they look great to me with lots of processing. Don’t think the younger generation who uses Cell Phones for their photography ever heard of Pixel Peeping. Just wondering…

If one is documenting ones life with visual pictures, then everyone has the right to do that. If one is documenting stories of culture and civilization, then I suppose that is street photography. But most people who do think that just taking photos of the street is documenting culture and civilization.

Deep meaning personally and documented for oneself is fine and its called photography(all lowercase letters). Photos that groups of people will say “Oh WOW!” in whatever genre is called PHOTOGRAPHY(uppercase letters).

In my experience over 55 years of shows and presentations, most people are photographers, who want to believe they are PHOTOGRAPHERS.

There are examples of photography and PHOTOGRAPHY here on Ugly. Most of it is the former.

The D850 in question is the final and best full-frame Nikon DSLR they could create. But, this relic has been surpassed by even the entry-level MILC models in terms of newer processors and an overall better shooting process. At 45MP with a number of cutting-edge shooting features, it is the apex DSLR in the Nikon line. As an apex model, and the even more rugged D5/D6 flagship models, these cameras can / should last forever. As 7+ year old designs, though, they're now behind the technology curve. That doesn't make them inferior, just not worth buying new. Only pay 'new' prices for new models, with 'new' features you can't find in any other older model.
