  1. This was my feeling re: Nikon quality and not to be a PITA, I am unlikely to buy a Sony. I know DPreview raves about some Sony models but I feel like Canon and Nikon have a better understanding of a photographers needs and have a more refined user experience. In terms of pixel peeping, I tend to agree about Nikon having an edge but realize Nikon and Canon both have their pros/cons and each have models that hit and some that miss, and it’s largely a personal about which of the two options are best for the individual.
  2. Just to be clear, though, I divested my crop sensor Canon stuff in favor of m4/3 with the understanding that crop sensors are maybe very slightly better in performance than m4/3 and that’s become even more so (in my opinion) over time. So I felt that if I were to go back to a non-m4/3 where quality was my primary goal, it should be FF. I’ll look for a used 6D. But since I have no canon glass anymore and I haven’t had a canon in years I think I’ll have to buy new glass and learn a new camera whichever way I go.
  3. Won’t get me “anywhere” or will get me marginally better but not night/day better? I do think there is still a decent upgrade in quality comparing m4/3 sensors like in the Oly M1 II vs a FF camera regardless of the shutter type. I also think night and low light are superior with a larger sensor (and presumably larger pixels).
  4. Yeah you’re both right. Mirrorless doesnt mean small sensor necessarily and I wasn’t specific about what format I was using.
  5. I like the 6d for obvious reasons :) I haven’t done much pixel peeping to see how it is in low light.
  6. I love cameras and getting out and about to take pictures. I was looking at a dSLR for general purpose photography. I think the biggest deficiency with my m4/3 is when shooting macro where depth of field demands stopping down and then the diffraction is an issue so I’d like to use a dSLR for that. I’d also like to do night sky shooting and like the performance in low light due to larger pixel size. I thought some of the Nikon models were better performers for low light relative to Canon.
  7. I thought diffraction issues were more pronounced in m4/3 due to the smaller sensor (and high pixel count) and while I’m not a physicist I suspect the distance from the back of the lens to the sensor may play a role.
  8. When I was referring to the mirror less disadvantage I was specifically talking about m4/3 mirrorless. Don’t know enough about the Nikon mirrorless and lens options to know if that’s a decent alternative to the dSLR without having the issue I haven with the m4/3.
  9. I have a mirrorless and a decent set of lenses. I feel it’s limitation is the camera having optimal resolution close to wide open and reduced resolution stopped all the way down. It makes me compromise more than I’d like to in certain situations. I was thinking of getting a dSLR again with 2 lenses such as a 24-70 f/2.8 and a 50mm f/1.4. The budget I suggested was for the body. I realize it’s a commitment for the full frame glass. So I’ll have to weigh that. Sound like everyone recommends the 750D. I’ll research it a bit.
  10. Been wanting a new dSLR and was previously a Canon person but want to get a full frame Nikon this time. Was looking at something comparable to the 6d in terms of sensor size but at a budget around $1500 or so. Maybe more but ideally not. What should I looks at as a noob to the Nikon line?
  11. I'm looking for a GoPro-like camera to take with me on hikes in hopes of capturing an endangered snake on video. Key features are at least 1 hour of battery life and storage, more is better, a lens that's sufficient to accurately the species of the camera is attached to my body (resolution and FOV at roughly 6-20' distances) and a sensor high res and with sufficient color rendering to see detail and color at that same distance. Any thoughts are appreciated. Anything under $500 is fine.
