I finally see a camera that will make me an awesome photographer and turn me into a "pro" !!!!
don't buy that hype.. it's the camera grip that determines if your pictures are PRO or not.

Nikon does have some real pluses. But, it does have some serious minuses. Firstly, the 500/5.6 is back ordered if you want it, and secondly, my most used lens is the 100-400mm zoom and Nikon has no acceptable for me equivalent. The Sony knock-off 100-400mm is the nearest equivalent. During the meanwhile, I’ll soldier on with the 5DSR, it still for most of what I do will not be significantly outclassed by the Sony, but I would love to have that A9 AF, 10 fps and buffer, and to be able to switch to an APS-C mode for smaller files.You could have Nikon 500 5.6PF with D500 and D850.
It guts me that Canon has thrown away 2019 in my book. All the while Sony has been catching up in lenses and distancing themselves in the other key areas. Canon, I am rooting for you but it is time to show the goods.
i am longing for a native not 10k+ wildlife lens and for an up to date good high iso camera body with good reach (high mp) that can handle moving subjects.
Yes 5DsR and 100-400II is a killer combination. I was just answering to the other post. I am currently OK! 5DSR, 5DIV and 7DII with 100-400II 400DOII and 500II. All I was saying is that someone who starts from scratch may consider other options. Not a fan of 200-500 though so for me it would be either the 500PF which you correctly said is not available or ... Canon!Nikon does have some real pluses. But, it does have some serious minuses.

We agree most strongly on bodies and lenses, though I am just too old to manage the 500II.Yes 5DsR and 100-400 is a killer combination. I was just answering to the other post.

You resent Sony making a good camera? Aren't you satisfied and out shooting with the new R?I finally see a camera that will make me an awesome photographer and turn me into a "pro" !!!!
I mostly use it when I use a car. When I go on various organized excursions I mostly use the 400DOII. But I used once the 500 because it was a mixed one (car, then bus then back to my car a few days later. In order to save on space I just took the 500 for all occasions. I will hopefully repeat that in a similar case late October. When I walk and carry it it is easier that having it at my back. But it is more difficult to shoot handheld and it needs much higher speeds not only for the 400 - 500 difference but for its weight which makes my hand to shake a little.We agree most strongly on bodies and lenses, though I am just too old to manage the 500II.
Or by selling more cameras, if you care about that sort of thing. We probably don’t, but I’m sure Canon and Sony do.Big deal, Sony. Canon up-staged you with the awesome new Powershot and exciting lens cap technology.

I don't think these bi-annual Sony PR bursts will sway the majority of Canon users but do believe they will have a material impact on Nikon. It is crickets over in their forums.
When you’re starting from leaking like a sieve, even one gasket or o-ring is “better”.One note: Sony is saying the A7R IV has better weather sealing. They've said this with every generation. Their repeat failures here is one of the things that has kept me from giving Sony a shot. If you shoot in anything other than dry weather, I would caution you to wait and see if the A7R IV can actually resist rain and snow. I was torn between the 5Ds and the A7R III right up until the test came out that showed the A7R III leaking like a submarine screen door. For me that killed Sony as a choice regardless of any other technology or consideration. It's ridiculous that Sony can't get this right.
Enjoy it, I find mine to be an excellent lens.I keep digging the hole I am in with Canon deeper and deeper....I just picked up an EF 85 f/1.4 IS in that refurbished sale.
I am really looking forward to it!
I thought it was profit they cared about?Or by selling more cameras, if you care about that sort of thing. We probably don’t, but I’m sure Canon and Sony do.
I agree with you.Of those four things I would love the buffer and like the APS-C mode. I can't say 10 fps never has any utility, I just don't feel it's that big of a difference (again, perhaps influenced heavily by my shooting style). Would be cool to have though.
I came away from my A9 shoots thinking that if I tweaked the prefs and got used to it my keeper rate would be practically the same as with the 5Ds (or any Canon 61pt system), perhaps with a little less effort on my part. For all the hyper over some new mirrorless features, I feel like the kit I have now is already so capable that further body improvements would have minimal impact on my work. My technique and my opportunity to go shoot are far bigger factors. Perhaps that's always been true, but with past kits I could usually point to one or two things that I really wished were better.
If I had to point to one "issue" with my current kit it would be RAW buffer size. That matters more to me than fps. I don't want to ever think about the buffer.
