Hi All,
I'm hoping some of you will help me make up my mind!! I seem to be going round in circles.
I have a D7100 which I have had for 5 years and have decided that I have now outgrown it and its time for a new camera
Lens wise I have an AF-S 18-140, AF-S 70-300 and an AF-S 50mm 1.8. My main gripe with the D7100 is the poor ISO. I like taking wildlife pictures but also do quite a lot of table top/close up stuff. I'll attached a couple of recent images.
I had alway thought my next camera would be D500 but now I'm not sure.
I've looked at the D7200 or 7300 but these feel like a bit of a sideways move rather than a step up.
I looked at the Z50 but though this is a move to mirrorless and there would be several improvements, the reviews seem to class this as a mid range, more like the D5*00 range which seems then like a down grade
And then along comes the Z6!!
New prices there is not a lot of difference btwn the D500 and the Z6. At the moment there would be no spare cash for any new lenses. Though on Panamoz I can get the Z6 camera, mount and 24-70 for the top of my budget.
So the questions are :
Do I go for the D500 either new or secondhand and stop at that.
Do I just wait for the DX mirrorless to improve or get the
second hand D500 as an interim.
Do I go mad and get the Z6 and will it be ok with the lenses I have until I win the lottery and can afford some z mount lenses.
To me this is a big move and will have to be the last for quite a long time, so want to get it right.
I'll wait to be bombarded with lots of conflicting replies
Thanks in advance
