I think the d200 deserves legendary status as well. Skin tones are just sublime.
Told people recently I bought a new camera which was over 10 years old and only has 12 megapixels and people thought I was crazy. Then when they saw the images i produced their mouths dropped lol
Indeed..me too. I used Nikon d90 almost 9 years then switched to Nikon D600, but I never satisfied with it. So, I made a decision to purchased Nikon D700 on 6th May 2021.
People chase numbers, man. Even when it comes to phones, they don't get it either. Early iPhone models had 8MP cameras and they took great photos.
I've now completed my collection, thanks to you and all of your videos! I just scored a mint condition D4 from Japan with just 10k clicks for $1,200.00! This gets added to my F5, D3s, D700 and D850! Don't get me started on the lenses, more than half are your recommendations and 'must owns'.
My first DSLR was a Nikon D300. Got my first Milky Way images with that one. I love the image quality on everything. I was waiting for a legitimate replacement for that camera for what seemed like ages. Then the D500 came out! I was already inclined to get it but your videos on that camera sealed the deal! I got a great deal with that camera with the Nikkor 17-55 F1:2.8 which is also a lens you recommended. Couldn’t be happier than an elephant eating his own shit! I’ve had this setup since shortly after it was released and I’ll never sell it!
When I first picked up a D3 some many years ago I just loved it, the aesthetics and tactile feel but there was no way it could be afforded. Just picked up a Mint D3 with 22,000 exposures today. Could not resist. Already have a couple of D800's and D850 so wanted low MP, for personal use, such a classic.
Nikon D700❤️❤️❤️
I got a lovely D700 with a very low shutter count on your advice 18 month ago and I am so happy with it. So thanks for the advice! I'll upgrade to a D850 if the price drops at some point.
Don't upgrade from the d700. Just keep it and add in 😃 ... The d700 is the keeper.
Always regretted selling my original D700 a few years ago and just last month bought a used D700 with 7700 shutter count and could not be happier.
P0
Wise decision...I use the nikon D700
old sensor, boring images. sell it
I have the D850 and D800e and love the crap out of both of them! I love your videos and always go to them when I want to buy a new lens or body!!! I appreciate your honesty and expertise
Hobbyist here, still rockin my D300
The D300s is a great camera, treated like a red headed stepchild!
Agreed 💯 my fellow Photographer am still using it with great fun and excellence!❤❤
In my experience, the D810 is another great camera that can be picked up for very little.
D700, looove it it's build lika a tank, i almost broke my ribs on it when i sliped on a rock in Germany and fell on top of it, both of us still 100% !!!! lol :)
I love my D700. It doesnt like minus 20 degrees. Who does. Amazing camera. Yes its but like a tank. Colour renditions are out of this world. Something in my background pict. All of a sudden becomes my perfect subject.
I've bought 2 x second hand D750s. Great camera, no issues.
Yep, me too.
Bought a used and almost mint D4 off your suggestion for $1k. It had only 24k actuations. Just got it today. What an amazing camera and deal. Thanks
Very nice!
Waaaaitt for it ... Nikon..... whatsssss up Ken, I really miss the loud screaming ending. Waaaaait for it .. NIIIIIIIIIKOOOOONNNN !!!
Yessss!!! That’s what I’ve been waiting for!! Exactly those 3 things!!
You're reviews still are relevant. I put some mentions in my videos. Bought the both the D3S and D4 this year based on your reviews.
Thanks for this video I found a D700 with 4417 clicks for $465 and i love it. Nice upgrade from my D7100 which i love.
@@nickreid5939 I like the color and it seems my lenses auto focus better. The D700 is also weather sealed.
Love for D3x.
I’m a long time fan of Ken’s blogs and I usually let him steer my choice of Nikon kit (subject to my low budget.) I have a bunch of primes, the 24-85VR and the nicest version of the 180mm f2.8 IFED. Despite the fact that I knew Ken didn’t like it, I was curious, so I bought a very cheap D3X I saw in Feb last year. For my use (mainly strobe studio portraits) I have to say really like it. It produces sharp, detailed images. The colour & contrast requires slightly more fine tuning in post than the colour from my D700 - but really for the £650 U.K. that I paid for my D3x (with 155K shutter count) and a year using it, I’ve been impressed. I feel the focus acquisition is a bit snappier than the D700 focusing, and I really like its handling and output. I have just ordered a nice looking D3s with 130K shutter count (I have not received it yet) and I’m expecting to like that very much too. I’m hoping it’ll be something similar to the D700 but on steroids for high ISO and focus acquisition. If it meets my expectations, it will be really interesting to see if I prefer the ‘S’ to the ‘X’ when it comes to studio strobes portraiture. PS. If you haven’t seen the old 2008 ‘Hitler Rants about D3X’ UA-cam video - then do check it out cos it’s brilliant.
Yes the d3s is damn close to d700 but iso on on d3s much bettr.steriods .
So after some time, what is your opinion about the d3x vs d3s?
I am planing to buy one if these two, but still not sure which one. Both cost the same, same condition, same shutter count. I prefer to shoot nature and landscape. Not always on a tripod.
Maybe you can help me with your experience. Thanks
@@mirjbrzi A caveat to start off with - I'm not a great photographer. It's all a question of - do you want the higher detail and sharpness in your images from the D3X? If you do, then you pay a price of only 4.5 fps (instead of 9), a very limited useable ISO range, and greater tendency to blow over-exposed highlights if you are sloppy with your exposure. The D3S is the more versatile camera but you sacrifice the high detail in pixel-peeping so you can't crop your images so much. Would I choose the D3X as a landscape camera these days? TBH for the same money roughly - I'd probably go for a used D810 - maybe even D800* ( *There was an autofocus issue with some D800 bodies. With a used D800 make absolutely sure the autofocus is working reliably before you loose your chance to return it to the seller. About 3 or 4 years back, I had a used D800 for several days, but could not make the autofocus work reliably - so I returned it to the shop.) Hope this helps
@@Cotictimmy thank you for your detailed answer.
Yeah I was also thinking about the d810. I know it's a better camera technicality, but the feel of the d3 and the shutter sound is what made me fall in love with the camera. Sounds geeky, but for me the experience of taking a photo and the feel that a certain camera gives me, is more important than image quality. Also the burst rate is also not important for me since I never shoot fast moving objects.
I won't be using the camera for everyday shooting, but more as a back up camera for travel, nature and some cityscape photography.
Hey Ken, Just won a D3 w/ 6500 shutter actuations for $560! the only reason I bought it was because I ran into your another video commenting about color science being slightly different between D3 and D700, which I already own. Couldn’t find anywhere in UA-cam or photography forums with any real examples so I had to try it out and see for myself. Can’t wait till Monday!!
Yup - that's pretty much exactly my reason for ordering a D3s.
D3 and d 700 have the same sensor and color science,,,, the d3s has slightly bigger pixels and a different color science
I bought the D750 last year (1400€ with the 24-120 f4 lens) for landscape (Tamron 15-30) and some portrait work (Nikon 50mm 1.8G) and have no issues...of course, there are better performing cameras out there but I´m fine with it (also got the Fuji X-T20, which I really like!)
I have a D750 as well, no problems.
Ken, I watched one of your best lense video's and you talked about the 135 f2 DC lense well after searching I found one, in the box as well as new. All I can say is incredible, it is definitely one of the best lenses I have ever shot with. Thanks for the info, in your debt.
Picked up a D4 last week for $700 from a customer of mine. Took me five years to make him sell it to me. 10100 actuations on the body. Like brand new. Have the D850 but I will be using the D4 mainly because of the file size. Appreciate your reviews of the D4. This thing is a tank and I LOVE IT.
I bought a d700 on your recommendation. It’s loud and it’s a tank..... and I love it!! Looking at buying a second body, just in case.
I have a pair of ‘em. Found the last one with only 1900 actuations…
Found a Nikon D700 in mint condition with less than 6000 shutter clicks from a camera shop in February 2022. They are still out there.
I have the D3s D4s D500 and D850 and sold my D700 which I regretted a month later because the image quality was beautiful. When I grab one of my cameras it doesn't matter which money of them let me down. I may let the D3s go with only 22,000 clicks but not sure yet. If you find any of these in good shape grab them.
Picked the D700 up few years back on your recommendation its my baby great to hold a legend in your hand
Hi Ken, I just wanna let you know that I bought a minty D700 about 1,5y ago, for a very good price, on your recommendation and I love it! The guy sold it to buy a D850 I guess... Anyway, it's the only DSLR I need. Besides, I own a FM3A and a FE when I wanna go through the whole process and I love I can use all my lenses (which I bought mostly on your recommendation as well) on both cameras!!!
Other than that my Fuji X100T is my main camera because it's so easy to carry and it delivers sooooo much beauty!
Thank you for everything you offered all these years! =)
FE was my favourite of all time. So simple - so solid - so beautifully made.
@@Cotictimmy True! I'll keep it and pass it on to my kids... Actually, now that we're on quarantine, I'll just find my old EM and do some film photography with them. They're 5 and 7 =)
@@bekuadro Jealous of your FM3A - I predicted they'd be collectable because due to the timing and expense, they were always going to be in short supply. Best wishes - I guess we'll be locked down here in England in the next few days.
@@Cotictimmy I know... I had to pay the price to have it and sell some photo gear. I don't regret it though, it's a superb camera!
Bought D3 three month ago in nearly new condition. Absolutely amazing.
Great camera...had mine for years...just recently gave up the ghost unfort...enjoy!
A D3 is like a Toyota.
@@Mike_M_Smith lol so true!
I found a mint d850 for 2,200usd out the door. Fantastic device. Finding a used mb-d18 was a lot harder and takes patience.
I absolutely agree with with you about D750. For some, it a great camera, and 6get that. Not for me. I bought it new after I sold my D3s and sold it after a month, and bought myself used D4. Now that's a thing a used to and love. On the other hand, I liked my D7100 that I also bough new seven years. ago.
I still have my D3s and a few F mount lenses, but otherwise I have gone completely mirrorless with Nikon. I have had a Z6 since it first came out, and recently bought a used Z7 in like new condition, and I couldn't be happier. I agree they are probably not the best cameras for action photography, but for portrait, landscape and travel they are excellent. I can also adapt all my AiS, Leica and Pentax lenses to them, which broadens the photographic experience. I still miss my D4, but I can't manage heavy cameras and lenses any more, and I await the pending Z8 with great anticipation.
Yes, I'm COMPLETELY with you on the Z6 - and YES the Z6 and Z7 ARE professional cameras. Look, just because it doesn't have 2 card slots is NOT an issue if you are a professional. If you are - you ALWAYS take 2 camera bodies with you to important shoots anyway. And the XQD format may be more expensive, but it's totally rock solid. I have a D750 as well, that I am selling in the next while - sad to see it go but in almost every way (including autofocus) it easily beats my D750 (sad to say because I have an emotional attachment to that camera). Also I have no idea why this channel is bashing the Z glass - look I don't need to say anything, just put them side by side with your old glass and well, you'll find out for yourself. Also if you are thinking of a Z camera - here's a place you can get some real info on them from someone who knows what they are doing: ua-cam.com/channels/-idGD_pRr67UcXou0_hfuQ.html
I'd put the D200 in there too. For the SLR category the F4 and F100 are in the timeless category. (I still shoot film)
maybe include the fe2/fm2 and fa in there too
When I think about it, there's been no need to make a camera (for me) since the D700.
Bought a Nikon D700 from BnH, great condition not a scratch on it !
Spent just under $500. Checked the shutter count .....
206,000 clicks 😳. Thought ok
maybe I’ll be one of the people who get 400,000 clicks before it dies ?
Two days later started getting “err” messages after taking a shot. Immediately sent it back, BnH return policy is excellent !
A week later I found another
Nikon D700 and ordered it.
Got it a few days later and again it was beautiful ! Excellent condition.
Checked the shutter count....
1761 clicks 😀
I hit the jackpot !
I spent a little under $600
D750 is amazing, without a doubt the best FF bargain out there in my opinion. Used it for many events and the AF has been excellent, it's dynamic range is simply jaw dropping. 😊
Yeah, he's full of shit. It's among the top selling bodies that Nikon has ever produced. Hard to say that it's been a "boil" on Nikon's backside. There's been more recalls on the Toyota Camry.
Loving my D750, and I got a e-mail about the shutter recall, yet my shutter was working perfectly, but I thought 'why not' since Nikon was willing to pay for shipping both ways! Got it back, and it hasn't missed a beat from the day I bought it! Took a dive off of my tripod once, no external damage and worked as if it had never happened!
@@matthewwells1606 No he is right on the money, there has been numerus recall's for the D750. I have two friends that have been part of each one. I also have seen first hand the D600/D610 oil spillage. I think a lot of folks just look at these issues as gossip. Well it's real, and I think he is trying to keep everyone aware when buying used.
D750 is indeed a great camera, but not TIMELESS.
I used a my D3 and D800e in photography school and have been using a XT4 after that. I really miss the feel of the old Nikons and considering buying a D700 again. What a classic
Buy the D700, I'm never selling mine!
watching the video again, i now have a D700 and D4s lol
May i ask a question my good man?
What amount of mount 'play' do YOU get when you attach a 70-200 2.8 vr11 to your D4? I'm getting about 1/8th inch ...concerned it could cause damage..or...
Thanks.
still a fan of the D750! thumbs up.
I like my d750 too.
@@nickreid5939 lmao
Dear Ken. I appreciate your wisdom and candour. Can you please make a video where you go into specific detail about what makes the autofocus on the D750 "not so good"? Is it not so good in live view mode specifically or not so good overall? Is the D750 autofocus less than on the D4 / D4s / D850 / D500 / Fujifilm XT something? If so, in what way is it less than it should be? I am asking because I own and use the D750. I rarely need to use autofocus. I use manual focus 99% of the time to photograph static subjects with a solid tripod. Whenever I test the autofocus in stills mode with the optical viewfinder, the autofocus performance seems acceptable to me in that use case, whereas in live view mode autofocus often feels disappointing by comparison, but that is just an instinctive assessment. I freely admit that I don't have any direct experience with the other cameras you mention, so I cannot tell in what way the autofocus is better on those other cameras. I am just trying to understand what you mean by the expression "not so good". I think you are trying to say that it will be good enough for many users, but maybe not good enough given the other models available from Nikon of the same vintage or given the price of the D750 when it was new. Am I interpreting this correctly?
Oh my laughing so hard 😂 thanks needed that! Hope Nikon listening 👂You are in epic form today!
NOO 😡🤣
I’ve been a long time Nikon owner and have the Z50, Z6 and Z7 along with four Z lenses. Honestly I love them and wouldn’t change a thing. The ergonomics of the z series are far superior to that of Fuji or Sony. I think the two card slot thing is blown completely out of proportion. I’ve shot over 10 years with DSLR’s, mirrorless and drones and have yet to ever have an SD card fail. Did film cameras have two rolls of film? The xt30 also has one card slot and the worst ergonomics and menus I’ve ever seen. To each his own but I happen to like what Nikon has did with the series.
Absolutley - I have a Nikon D750, D5300 crop, and now have a Z6 - I'm completely blown away with the AF performance I'm getting on the Z6 - you just need to re-learn the system. If you want to find out how to use the Z series properly I would highly recommend Ricci Talks - he knows his Nikon Z - ua-cam.com/channels/-idGD_pRr67UcXou0_hfuQ.html
I'm selling my D750 now, sad to see it go, but there's nothing I can't do with my Z camera that I can with my D750. And the video from that thing is insane!
A Camera with only one card is worthless if you're a professional wedding photographer.....
@@robertb.3651 Don't quote me on this, but I believe the job has existed before cameras began to have two SD slots.
Hi there, just picked up a Nikon D3, nice piece of kit, noted the batteries are expensive when in stock, due to the micro chip? Are the third party batteries detrimental to using them in the D3 or are they ok to use, without the chip. Also noted that the CF cards are not being recognised by iMac 12.5 Monterey any recomendation as to. which reader we could purchase that would work? Thanks, loving your channel and use it before purchase of equipment, as you talk sense, best wishes, CS
Nikon D500...I love it...even if it has a crop analog sensor.
I love my D4, will never sell. I do regret selling my D700, that was a great camera and one I should have kept.
One can go through divorce.. and lose all manner of shit.. but what bothers me is trading in my 50mm f1.2 Pentax KA lens.. what was I thinking???!!! We both might just have to go and buy another one.. get that regret sand out of the undies. :P
D810 Owner & it’s definitely an honorable mention for the price you can find it at right now
Love my D7200. I wish I could have purchased a D500 but did not have the funds and had to take advantage of a Black Friday sale. But the D7200 does what I need.
Ummed and Arred what to buy after putting my D7000 through over 130k clicks -
D850 [ files too big ] - D750 [ build quality + recalls ] - D800/D800E/D810 - D4 - D4s - D5 - D500 -
Eventually a D7200 with 1k came along for £430 - I snapped it up and I love it .
I still hanker after a FF and a D4s is HIGH on my list ...but the weight puts me off , that and I'm old .
I just picked up a D4 with 11k shutter count for 1100 bucks. Love it.
Nice!!
great cam for making confinement blog now and shooting the great depression biopic later
I actually bought a lightly used D4S last summer from an ESPN photog who didn't need it anymore for $1500. Crazy good deal, and the D4S is a total legend!
I reckon I’ve spent more money on Nikon gear than you Ken 😂 But then I’m a trader and can’t afford to keep barely any of it. Keep up the good work!
Really enjoyed your video. Will you still recommend D500 after 4-5 years? Or is nikon likely to launch any upgrade version?
ohhhhhh yes, the D500 is still amazing
I have d4, d4s, d5, and d500... d4s is my favorite but it’s on its third focusing issue repair with Nikon. Had a d700 and just didn’t like the copy I had as I was pretty happy to sell it... thanks Ken! Always good info.
Why do you like the D4S over the D5?
Adam Henderson I find that it has an edginess to it that I really like. I might not be describing it very good but that’s the best way I can describe it.
@@jensenbell4429 Fair enough. I had the D4 and loved it but upgraded to the D5 for the better AF system which I'd used in the D500 and D850 which was superb. Was just curious. Anyways I still think the D850 is the best do it all camera but there's just something about holding/using a pro body camera. Feels great in the hands and they are rapid!
Adam Henderson Hi Adam, I use the d500 for wildlife, the d4 for underwater and work, and my d4s and d5 for work only. I would say the image quality between the d4 and d5 are more similar than that of the d4s... I feel they render a little more on the warm side and have a smoothness to the image .. where the d4s renders a little cooler with that edginess around the focus area. Right now my d4s is waiting for Nikon to open their repair service as they had it for a month and sent it back to me not fixed .. and so received it back the day the service centers closed due to covid 🤦♂️.. can’t wait to get it working right! The d850 is an absolutely wonderful camera my mother has one so I use it often but I totally agree about the pro body in hand. Cheers.
I have a brand new in box D700 in August 2022...what CF card should I be looking at to complement this camera...
Is there a go to card ....
Watching your video 3 years later April 2023 and still no Z8 ! This is a great video Ken makes so much sense still in 2023 you are truly validated.
What about the d800. I bought one second hand in July. 11k clicks with power grip. 900 cad. Is it a Timeless camera too?
The lack of FTZ adapter with screw AF made me switch away from Nikon. I did not and will not buy the Zs. I found a better camera that can manually focus the AFD lenses. That was the one thing Nikon missed and they still don't get it why this is important.
The D810 is better than all of the cameras he talked about except the D850 in every catagory except sports.
Which DX camera should one have/keep besides the Nikon D500 ?
I love my Nikon F65, yes I still use it. I say 'Nik on' you say 'Ni kon.' ;-) I say Zed you say Zee ;-) wait for it 'Fuji' thanks for the Fuji book Ken.
I’m new to the camera world and I’m using a Nikon D7100! Is that good? I presume it’s close to the D700?!
I have D810 and still rocking it. I shoot only photos so its great for me
I like my d750 but I really like my two d7200’s and use them a lot more for paid shoots.
Speaking of timeless Nikons, what model Nikonos did you have?
I was lucky to get new Nikon D200 with 10mpx in October 2022. Thinking which lens to attach to it. Love the feeling of old Nikon bodies.
Not sure if I am ready to spend lots of money for new mirrorless Nikon which feels like a toy.
D200 feels amazing.
I agree on the d850 and have another use, incredible for scanning negatives.
I have all of these cameras. Here’s one. My current fave camera, the D5600. Small and fully featured. Yes, please shoot me down if you need to. Please try the D5600;before you do though please.
EXACTLY right about Z-8 AF-D compatible adapter. It could carry it's own EN-EL15 Battery for the screw drive. BTW. Whay not male Non-AI compatibility too?
Thanks for the info. Always straight forward. There is a lot of horrible outdated info on shutter count out there. Can you set the record straight, please?!!!
Hi Ken , i tried to join or paypal donate but cannot do it from vietnam , can you lift the restrictions ?
I found a d700 for 400 with only 6k in clicks. Love it.
Hi Ken, I thought you'd shed insight on the Nikon Df your age will agree as a skilled Photographer??
Hi, what about the already legendary Nikon Df ?
great subject I want my first dslr but i want video too and i want a one and done camera should i get a used nikon 850? SOS!!!!!
struggling to decide between a d700 and a d600 your thoughts?
Does anyone know when Nikon is coming out with the firmware update for the CFEXPRESS on the D850? That’s the only thing holding me back from getting the D850.
theyre late and lazy for sure
I'm planning a trip to Colorado with my friend and I want to get him a starter camera to see if he's into it. I was thinking of a D5000 or D3100?
D7200 used
just got a mint D4s with 33k clicks on ebay for 1599 USD. Thank you Ken! :)
the Sony A mount to E mount lens have a screw driven lens it is possible
I think what happened is that camera & lens image quality plateaued many years ago, some people like small cameras, some people like big cameras, simple!
Yes...I want to use my lovely D-Lenses on a new camera. Please call Nikon for a new adapter again👍😉
I've been shooting with the D750 with no issues . Guess I got lucky and my camera was never on the recall list . What do you think about the D800 got one on order ?
3 recalls honey
Watching this at 2x speed makes it even funnier lol. Why is the x-t30 so much better than z50 though? In a lot of ways they seem to perform similarly, but I think the Nikon has a better grip. The Nikon Z lens selection sucks but can the ftz adaptor make up for it?
What are the best budget sports lens for D500
You say not to buy a USED D750 but right now brand new ones are so cheap you don't need to, and a new one isn't going to have the issues.
Kinda silly, but after picking up the D850 I realized that I also wanted a lower megapixel camera body for when I dont want crazy large files or need better low light performance.
Picked up a mint D4s on this channel's recommendation. Very solidly built camera with great, clean output. A joy to use and 16mp at a third of the d850 are easier to handle. Handling a pro body is just a different experience. Considered the D4 but wanted the newer processor and group AF mode.
2023 soon. Looking for a good D4s. D850 may be the best but why, it’s to expensive to process. To much money involved in using it. I choose D4s and truly mis my F100 !!!
Ken...I have a offer for Nikon D700 for $150, but the shutter count is 135000. Need suggestion... should I buy?
Hi angry Photographer! quick question if I may: does the D700 camera accept tethering?
Thanks
-C
too old for that
@@kathodosdotcom how about the D500? Does it tether? I need theeeetheeerrr😂😂😂
Nikon D3 & 180mm 🔥
I have sold my soul to Fuji xt30 after 9 years with Nikon D600 and happy as an idiot. Finally, not have to pull fuji raw profile on a dull and boring raws of d600 in C1pro as i did for 8 years, hell yeah.
Have pro friend running 3 D700s and absolutely happy with it)
I still have my D2hs and D40. Both need new batteries but I am still satisfied with using them.
you are not crazy, just a little emotional, i agree all your points...
I bought a d700 a year ago because local film developers will not return the negatives, Washington State..... I have manual but.... Are there any books, etc., on how/what all the setting do and when to use them? .......... Had a FG 1980s, FE 2000 F3 2002. Currently, I set A and shutter and let the camera choose ASA. FE is my favorite, but film is impractical. I need to become more proficient with the D700...... Thank you .......................
And I take pictures of my analog electric meter every week day. The last meter in the county. They, 'PUD', tried to steal it, two years ago now.... Common-law verse corporate.
Hope you are feeling better. Cold? Or, gain-of-function cold?
YES for a DtZ adapter YES
I bought a D700 last year - $425.00 and only 12,000 actuations. Incredible color rendition. They can bury it with me, cause I’ll never sell it.
I just bought a Nikon D700 with 17492 shutter count, 12 percent of its life (after buying a mint F5)and hardly a mark on it, now I want a D4s
Thank you Ken!
My D4S is still a BEAST in it's own right...
I get confused when people talk about the D700 output and colors being so amazing. What makes it so amazing? If you're shooting in raw, can't you adjust WB, saturation, contrast in post anyway? I'm fairly new to photography, so I legit don't know...
They probably shoot jpg :) Every software is using its own engine for raws, so even at this level you will get a bit different results. Normally you end up with your own profile in raw software where invidual colors and curves are set to your liking, so all that is 'amazing' depends on you.
It’s the sensor
@@user-zv6qu4ks1p Thanks for the thorough response. Appreciate the info!
Howdy, ken! Thanks for all the excellent videos, and suggestions, my Friend! I started out with a Nikon D7000, and though it has it's warts, did eventually get some great photos out of it! (Nikon f1.8 35mmG DX, 18-200 f3.5-5.6mmG DX, and finally Nikon 17-55 f2.8G DX). Upgraded to the Nikon D7100 and D700 on your excellent recommendation, and love both of them! And, as we travel a lot, and weight is an issue, I bought two Nikon D750's, and as I have NO interest in filming videos on my cameras, found them excellent for what I like to do! No problems with either of them, and lots of excellent photos from both. Now, I'm considering adding one more Nikon camera to my stable. I'm considering the Nikon D500, or the Nikon D4s. What is your opinion on adding one, or the other, to my camera selections? In truth, I'm leaning towards the D4s, but the D500 deep buffer is attractive to me, as well. if you have time, I would deeply appreciate your suggestions, Good Sir! You steered me right on the D7100 and D700, and I hope you can help with this one, too! Thanks, and God Bless! - Every Good Wish, Doc Mark
