Hello, I’m trying to figure out which camera to get in addition/substitution of what I’ve currently got and would appreciate you more experienced people’s advice!
I’ve got at Fuji X-T20 and a Nikon D7500. I’ve invested a great deal of time and energy into getting to know the Fuji and now feel that I’m really familiar and comfortable with it (even got muscle memory for the main settings, which is how it should be, right?)
I’ve not really invested much time in the Nikon yet and am reluctant to do so as I’m not sure if I’m even going to keep it.
The issue is this: I feel I’ve slightly ‘outgrown’ the XT20 - or in other words, I’m ready to move to a more (semi) professional camera, possibly full frame. I feel that if I’m going to invest a great deal of time in a new camera I want it to be worth my while, a step up in the world of photography. With the D7500 I don’t fell that I’m getting that.
I want to do more landscape/ seascape photography and so think that full frame will be worth it, for the extra light and also as I want to do some larger printing. However I still need the camera to be capable of fast autofocus (think kids and dogs) and a decent amount of FPS.
The confusion I have is this:
- Seeing most professional landscape photographers seem to use Nikon (or am I wrong about this?) I’ve looked at Nikons but cannot identify which one would be worth getting. I think the D850 is too big and slightly too expensive but the D750 is 5 years old (does this matter?) and the D810 doesn’t have a flippy screen and no flash (can be handy).
- I’ve thought about the Fuji X-T3 (advantage would be that settings and menu similar to what I’m used to) but wonder if I’m missing out by not getting the option of a ‘proper’ FF camera with optical viewfinder, better battery life etc
- I am thoroughly confused by Canon’s offering. I don’t even get the whole MD Mark naming of their cameras! So what’s the Canon equivalent to the Nikon D810, 850 or 750?? Which Canon would you recommend for landscapes but also capable of fast kids/family shots?
- is it still worth getting a traditional FF DSLR with the market seemingly going mirrorless?
Any thoughts welcome. Thanks in advance.
