Eric Stevens: When I bought my D750 I made the deliberate decision to limit myself to 24 MPx. Had I wanted to I could have bought a 45 MPx D850 but I didn't see that I would benefit from the file size. While I don't place pixel count first in choosing a camera, 24MP or thereabouts works well enough for me. Ergonomics comes first and I like the feel of Canon cameras. 5D Mark IV, 30MP 6d Mark II, 26MP M5 (mirrorless), 24MP Those are Canons, of course, but since this seems to be mostly about Nikon, I should say that I have a Nikon D100, 6MP, that was my first DSLR* and that I keep because I like to use the excellent 60mm Micro Nikkor from time to time. No one ever looked at a Flickr photo or a print from that camera and said "Gee, too bad it's only 6 megapixels." *But not my first digital camera. That was the 1997 Kodak DC120, "the first point-and-shoot megapixel quality digital camera under $1,000." Alfred Molon: My brother bought a D600 a while ago, then barely used it. Too big & heavy, too hard to use it (he never managed to learn how to use it). What was he using before? When I "upgrade" it tends to be in evolutionary steps rather than revolutionary leaps; 5D Mark III to 5D Mark IV, e.g. Not much to learn. In any case, even if a new camera is very different to what one was using before, it is not necessary to learn all of the features on day 1! I have to say that the Mark IV with battery grip and, say, a 70-200 Ÿ2.8 is a heavy beast, but I generally use it on a really good tripod and I have the lighter-weight cameras listed above, plus iPhone, for walkabout. Understood. I have a lot of good Nikon glass. Nikon lenses. So far from what I have head, only my 105 macro would be able to take advantage of the increased pixel density. My concern is that I might get distortions from my other lenses. I will see and eventually run some tests myself. I can always spend the money. -- PeterN |

But the Swedes switched in living memory. I recall having seen TV news; at the appointed time (noon?) all drivers simply went to the other side of the road. A Swedish friend told me that it wasn't very traumatic; Swedes are pretty well traveled and very many of them had experience driving on the right. Sweden might not have been very traumatic with their switch, but Argentina had a transition from left to right which came as a surprise for the public. I visited Buenos Aires in 1963 on a trip with my parents, and we were regaled with tales of the 1945 switch from left to right, which came from legislative decree, and immediate, overnight implementation. The switch came days after a coup, and establishment of a military dictatorship before Peron took over in 1947. In 1963 it was still a tender spot in Argentinean memory. Many longed for the days when they drove on the left. Apparently that switch in 1945 resulted in multiple daily accidents, and daily deaths. It took them years to get the street signage changed, and some of the old signage was still in place in 1963. The day of the switch is recognised today as “Road Safety Day” in Argentina. They had some other odd rules of the road which I won’t get into here. Which sign do you follow? https://www.dropbox.com/s/yb1vcu7vys1e6sv/2017-07-23%2018.08.59.jpg?dl=0 -- PeterN |
