Maybe your GAS money would be better spent on Z series lenses?

Thanks. I have plenty of lenses, all F mount, that I use with the adaptor fro the Z series.


...yah, but the Z glass is amazing. The *mount* is the big deal.

The Nikon 810 is a great camera. Wanna buy a new camera? Go ahead. But it wont add anything to your photography skills. If you must, go mirror-less because of the wysiwyg aspect of the camera. Otherwise, stick with what you have, and move onto honing skills.

I had a Nikon D3 (wish I had it back), and I have a D810 and a Z6 as well as a Fujifilm X-T20 now. I've come to learn with my style and level of skill with my cameras that my money is far better spent on pro-grade lenses.

Cameras come and go yet good glass will last the test of time. A camera sensor is only as good as what the lens can project on it and there are little differences between digital cameras the past few years when the rubber-meets-the-road.

The lenses can open up an entirely new venture regardless of what camera they are attached to. Of course video is a world of its own so one camera may be better suited for video than still photography. Also the majority of photography today is viewed 'on screen' and that is by far the a limiting factor to how the photograph will be viewed. My macro images are 140-meg in file size with tip of a hair resolution however they are useless for posting and sharing so the data is compressed (meaning a lot is thrown away) and sized down to fit a screen so unless one is printing via high resolution printing equipment there is not much difference between camera output for the average and even pro shooter. Commercial production and processing of course is a specialty afforded to very few....as are the lovely models that go with the shoot for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.

All I would know is their opinions. The truth of the matter is another path. You make the choice you do not need someone to hold your hand.

For someone that doesn’t believe in opinions you sure want to beat us to death with yours.

For landscapes and portraits I use my D800e and for wildlife I use my D850. Therefore, I recommend that you stay with you D810. Spend the money you save on lenses and lighting.

Thanks Sippyjug,

I have spent far more on lenses than I have on cameras. I'm leaning toward the D850 for several reasons at this point, one is that it will work autofocus on my older nikkor 80-200 f2.8. They are all f mount Nikon lenses and the FTZ adapter will only work autofocus with newer lenses. Most of my lenses work fine with the FTZ adaptor for my Z6, but that 80-200 is one of my favorite lenses. I had it refurbished by Nikon a year and a half ago and its like a brand new lens.

A major consideration between the Nikon 850 and the mirrorless Z7 II are the lenses. I have had a Nikon 610 and a Nikon 750 in the past; wonderful Nikon DSLR's. I now shoot a Nikon Z6II and because of the shorter lense flange the Z lenses are sharper with more contrast then my DSLR lenses.
