Review of D850 from DPReview.com is out, but. . .
Landrum Kelly replied to Landrum Kelly's topic in Nikon
I'm surprised that Thom Hogan would not recommend the D800. I bought the D800E in 2012 and have never had a single problem with it. -

Surviving, sometimes vegetating, teaching online a bit, shooting more with my phone. . . . I hope you're doing okay, Michael. -

My friend, how are you doing? I recognize your writing, not your photography, but in truth it's not bad. Lannie -

It's like watching it die before our eyes. . . . -
I still shoot the D800E--a lot--but once in a while I want something lighter and so use my D7100 with a DX 17-55 f/2.8 or occasionally one of the 70-200 VR variants, or something else. I still have the D3s but have not shot it in a long time. I have bought a lot of used things out of curiosity and tend to use them for specific applications. I shoot on the fly with my phone a good bit (Google Pixel 2), but I also have a Sony A6000 (mirrorless) as well as an Olympus OM-D E-M5 (mirrorless), which I shoot solely when I want to hike in the mountains and use it with a Panasonic 100-300mm so that I can have up to 600mm (effectively) in a very light package. I also have an old beater Canon 6D for low light, and I tend to keep a beater EF 24-70 f/2.8 on it expressly for that purpose. With such an array, I see no particular reason to put more money into mirrorless. So, I have a lot of rigs for specialized applications, but the old D800E is pretty much what I grab before I go out the door. At seventy-four, I expect what I have will outlive me. I really am not interested in learning another system at this point. If all of the above sounds like an indulgence, well, it has been an indulgence, but I think that the D800E was about the last big thing I bought new--back in October, 2012. It's all been fun, and it still is. My Nikon stuff (except for the D3s) all runs off the same model battery and charger--I'm not totally indifferent to the virtue of simplicity, in spite of the varied collection which I have I have yet to try to sell any photos. I'm saving that for my old age. --Lannie

The 28-300 blew me away when I first bought it and used it on my D800E. It is not the lightest lens around, but I have easily carried it for several hours of mountain hiking. The resolution on my copy was superb.

Holy cow! Glad you're all okay, Gup.
