I had a D610 before the A7, and would have preferred a deeper grip (and LCD on the top plate).
It is a bit large and heavier (D850).

I have a D600, which is already comfortable... My current Grail DSLR is a D850 (failing that a D750 / D780). I will try both and pick the one that feels the best. As mentioned, I purchased a grip for my D600, looking forward to using it !
"Heavy is good, heavy is reliable. If it does not work, you can always hit them with it!"
Well, following my last post about that here, I installed it for the first time (received it only today).
Wow is it great! Finally my pinky finger has somewhere to go other than under the camera body! Love the extra battery capacity and the ability to swap to Portrait and keep the position of the controls... It will live on my D600 from now on.
I agree, it helps balance the camera with a heavier lens.
How are you liking yours on your new D780 ?
A Tele? Pah! Try a 1970s Les Paul! Many many kilos of back-breaking mahogany and maple....
Seriously though, I have a Les Paul CM, it's a "thin body" Les Paul with 1 pickup.. no weight relief... It must be made from mahogany and lead, as it outweighs every guitar I have (including a Framus Renegade in Swamp Ash with an Ovankol neck).
It rivals a 1995 Les Paul Standard I had, no weight relief... man that was heavy...
Ooft sorry to screw the story, thanks for clearing that upCapa's D-day images were shot on four rolls of film (Super-XX). Not glass plates. The majority of them were lost because of a darkroom/development screw-up. It's a well known story, worthy of looking up.
Sorry to say but I strongly doubt the EF-M lens mount that the 2021 Canon M50 Mark II is built upon will be produce further because of the RF-S lens mount.Been doing some research, pros and cons. It seems the pros outweigh the cons these days?
Nevertheless, I know many of you love/prefer DSLR. Why would you buy a Nikon D3500 when Canon M50 MkII mirroless costs just a smidge more?
There must be more to this than meets my eye, so why are DSLR holding their own and why isn't morrorless taking over? (or is it?)
I hang out with a fair few photographers, all of whom have made the upgrade to mirrorless. I think it depends on needs. For me, photographing children and weddings, the next sensible move is to get the Canon R6, the focus is amazing and the camerabody so much lighter.
It definitely was for me but like you know just going to mirrorless isn't the answer you also need the newer auto focus. Going from an A7R to an A7C with the latest AF has been amazing for photographing my children running around. It feels like cheating.Eye or even just face detect coupled with the ability to focus accurately anywhere in the frame could be both revelations and a game changers for people shots.

Digital camers: dSLR vs Mirrorless (no smartphone & point & shoot)
So pretty meaningless then.
However, it looks at the photography market with one eye closed.It puts to numbers where we are on "Why hasn't mirroless taken over?"
dSLR R&D spending has stopped for Nikon & Canon.
Whatever dSLR body, lens & accessories in stock right now will be continued to be produced based on demand.
