I know there is the equipment forum but as I mainly shoot motorsport I thought I'd ask here.
I have been using a D3100 since I started photography 7 years ago and am finally in a position to buy something new. Just looking at the specs of my D3100 compared to the current range of cameras and I can see a massive difference.
Mirrorless seems to be the latest thing but when I last looked at upgrading a few years ago mirrorless cameras weren't quite there for sports photography yet. Are they now?
The other option is the D500 which seems to be the go to Nikon sports camera these days and would allow me to keep my current lenses but is there a newer version around the corner? Also I'm not against getting new lenses as I don't own anything particularly special at the moment.
Whatever I buy I will want to last a good few years so a degree of future proofing would be good.
Overall it would be great to hear people's thoughts of where to go next.
