Actually, it makes no difference. It's the photographer.

Your post shows that you may have little CURRENT knowledge of Nikon Corp. I was a Nikon rep for many years, I still have friends in their business structure. The camera division makes up about 10% of the business.
Yes, Canon and Sony has increased their share of the camera market.
Just recently Nikon caught up with a backlog of orders on the D850 and is currently offering $200.00 off that body. Both of the new Z camera's are sold out for the next 10 months. The new Nikon 500 5.6 has sold out altogether for at least the next two months.
Nikon plans new releases this spring on two of it's major selling camera models ( I could not get anything more out of my buds in the business on these releases).
So, again, I appreciate your post but again in lacks the fact that Nikon has rebounded from it's difficulties a few years ago and is making a strong come back in their market share. Sorry.

Thanks for the info. Great to see the rebound. With so many Nikon loyalist I didn’t see it going out anytime soon unless they just give up on the race .

Any wood can make a good bow ! Only certain woods can make a good arrow.

True ... and who chooses the wood?

I used to make bows . This was a Native American saying from the old times. Certain woods had better qualities than others for making an arrow. Same it true with a bows. Woods have different properties that make the performance better.
So this passes along into photography and many other things .
So archers aka photographers can be as good as their skills allow them. Then it comes down to the performance of their bow . Or the camera in our case .
As this man is a landscape photographer we choose the best performing camera for our needs . The Z7 and the d850 has the pinnacle of sensor technology for high resolution in a Nikon Camera.
But there is more two this system and it does make a difference. That is a lens . Lenses have different properties and performances.
So it boils down to the skill level of a photographer is an ever evolving things . But for the most part we get as good as we are going to get . Then if you’re printing large and need the resolution you choose your tool for that job. Most folks don’t print large . So higher resolution cameras are not needed. And a camera with great dynamic range is more important.
It boils down to what properties in your bow wood do you want . What kind of arrow performance is best !
Sometimes it’s just what feels good .
