Why would a high end camera obsolete a entry level camera like a 6D MK II? That logic makes no sense. All cameras are obsolete as soon as they are delivered. The technology in them was developed 2 years previously.

There will be some nice features in a D850, but experience tells me to watch out for the things they do not put in the specifications. I bought a D800 when everyone was gushing over the specifications only to find that it was noisy at ISO's over 800, and the tethering capability which I use for product photography was a bad joke. DXO told us about low noise at high ISO, but you had to reduce the image to 8MP to get it.

I'd skip it just because the only source for XQD cards is Sony, and I do not like the limitations of SD cards like requiring a low level format to get advertised speeds.

The final straw, however is lack of a direct print button

Lets just hope Nikon isn't about to unleash more shutter recalls and virtually unusable wi-fi utilities.

The D850 sounds great "on paper"...

Canon products are consistently the most solidly built and user friendly tools on the market, if that didn't matter to people then Microsoft would still be bailing out Apple.

Oh look, Nikon has a financial future about as bright as the Arctic Circle in December, and Canon is recording growth in a time when their industry is supposed to be failing.

Funny all this talk about Nikon got me curious about DPR's comments on the latest top of the line D5.

"Even at a modest 3 stop push, we see the D5 has already contributed a considerable amount of noise to its low ISO images compared to the 24MP D750. After a 5 stop push the gap widens, with the D750's 5 stop file looking more like the 3 stop file from the D5. In fact, the D5's performance closely resembles the performance seen from the Canon 6D, with just a bit more color noise showing in the 6D's file."

Any 6D shooters should feel pretty good about this, maybe you needed a little boost to your beleaguered ego.

So, the conversation just goes round and round on the same issue with all the animosity as usual. Some things never change.

Let alone these are rumored specs, the same way that hybrid evf/ovf was rumored from a photo of some screw holes.

I think it's interesting how people act like the current camera, 5div, d850, a9, are the last cameras to ever be built. They talk about how this camera is offering these specs that will make all the difference. Well 3-4 years from now we will see another group of cameras, all with new specs.

Ill hold off on upgrading my 5d3 and 1dx for another generation. I can almost gaurenteee both will still work flawlessly and continue to create the same quality images they did when they were new. Plus now, it saves money for other purchases, like the 70-200 f2.8is ii I purchased today.

Cameras have more specs people can talk about than lenses. The OP mentioned like 20+ items... Imagine now how many pages we can write about this stuff. Lenses are boring - MTFs and AF speed/accuracy. Booooo
It's not even worth mentioning the lenses render pictures, and any sensor made after 2005 or film is more than capable to capture it, right? But who cares, 4k is everything these days.

Took this today with my obsolete piece of garbage 1dx2...

As I said in another thread, rumored specs are cheap. Let's compare actual specs, actual performance, and actual prices against Canon's products, mmmkay? And then let's see if Nikon can build it reliably and profitably, or if it's going to be plagued by issues and lose money.

Good lord people...

Well, at least you're right about one thing.

Well, you've already predicted the A99ii to be a 5D4 killer, and

the 5div and how long this camera has before its totally obsolete within 2 years

and

Soon Canon and Nikon will be the niche market

So maybe as Neuro said 'deadwrong' is actually a good moniker.

 

[LesC]

Only a tiltable screen & no GPS? Rubbish!

 

[YuengLinger]

The title of your post, "Sadly..." is disingenuous. Whatever you might be feeling when you attempt to provoke with brand slurs, it isn't sadness.

Why so bitter?

And I have bigger news, the planet she is dieing, along with our sun, we will soon need another home, in other words this world is done. Consumed by mankind and the need to progress.

That is all.

All commercially sold cameras are obsolete.... by the time they make it to market, there is much better stuff in the lab...

And somehow, people continue to use those obsolete cameras for ten or more years and get great pictures.....

But Canons emails!

Nikon D850 Full Specification

Would the D850 suffer from lockups requiring users to take the battery out to release?

Would the D850 suffer from shutter oil splatter problems?

Would it be recalled three times for shutter oil splatter problems?

There's more to a camera than specs.

100% of my good pictures aren't great because I had the best camera in the world.

100% of my bad pictures would have still been bad, even if they had been taken with the best camera in the world.

Cameras are not smartphones or PCs. Obsolescence isn't nearly as major an issue, because the technology is very mature. We're also at practical limits of megapixels, because let's be honest, 50MP 5DSR images are a pain. They are massive to archive and store, slow to transfer, and slow to process in post. And for what? Most of us aren't going to print billboards.

Beautiful picture from that relic. Of course some folks took really nice pictures in the nineteenth century, too.

 

[DominoDude]

The very same day I see the first big beautiful print made from a spec. sheet, is the same day I sell my Canon bodies and stuff the lenses where the sun don't shine.
