Yeah, right! In their defense, you can't fix oil splattering, mirrors falling off, gross focus errors or poor weather seals with firmware updates. That is one reason I stuck with my D300S until it seemed that Nikon was never going to produce a replacement. Naturally weeks after I made my move to Fujifilm, Nikon announced the D500. As much as I have been very tempted by the D500, I have come to appreciate the character and light weight of the Fujifilm X-series cameras and the choice I made. I find myself using the D500, much more than the D800, except for Macro and Landscape. The D500 is a better camera than the D800 for many photography genres, probably the best of the current APS-C DSLRs, even with the D800's wide landscape FF sensor capability. You know that you want one! ;-ppp I wanted one 30 months ago when it didn't exist, and it didn't look as if Nikon would ever come up with a successor for the D300S. So I made my move to Fujifilm X. For me Nikon was too slow in releasing the D500 because of their push to FF. That does not mean that I don't recognize and appreciate the excellence of the D500, and now I can say I don't miss DSLRs so much that I have to spend $2000 to say I have one. I read the above as that you would have gotten a D500 if you would have made the choice today. What's wrong with Fuji? :-)) -- teleportation kills |

I read the above as that you would have gotten a D500 if you would have made the choice today. What's wrong with Fuji? :-)) Then you read wrong. I would have bought a D500 if they had released it in 2013 when the D300S was showing its age against many of the other APS-C DSLR's of the time. I had even considered a D7100 or D7200, but the only advantage they had over the D300S was the sensor. I started looking for alternatives back then, and the idea of going lighter appealed to me. So mirrorless was the logical way to go, and that decision led me to Fujifilm X-series. To answer your question, there is nothing wrong with Fujifilm, and these days I am established in the Fujifilm system and I can live without a D500. That is not to say that in a moment of madness I wouldn't buy one. ;-) -- Regards, Savageduck |
