Should I buy a 6D or 5D4?

The 800 doesn't go to 10 fps. If you want to get that sort of rate out of a Nikon FF you will have to buy a D4S or D5. There are a whole bunch of factors controlling frame rate. With the D800/D810 Nikons the inhibiting factor is the massive file size. Couple that with a much slower rate when using the SD card over the CF card. According to a Lexar tech rep I met, the SD interface in the D800 is slower than the CF interface. Which it shouldn't be, but if you are shooting Ch, one would think that that if one slot was performance downgraded, you would select the medium which performed best. Even then the difference between the two isn't going to be the biggest factor in slowing down the Ch rate, it is still going to be the file size and the ability for the buffer to clear. The 4fps rate found in the specs is the performance ceiling, not a big issue in a studio, or for landscapes. There is a reason the FF Nikons best suited for high frame rate sport shooting are the D4S 16MP(10fps) and D5 20MP (11fps). The D800/D810 while having great resolution is limited to 4fps before the buffer just chokes on those fat NEF files. The question I have is, just how important is a very high frame rate for you? If you are satisfied, great. I would think that the higher frame rate gives me a chance of getting the wings of a bird in just the right position. Probably. It is just one method for capturing that magnificent miracle shot, but still no guarantee. There are additional factors involved, incuding, but not limited to stuff such as AF-C tracking. I am NOT saying that a lower FR is not good for animals & birds. I found that where the target is passing through a practical capture, or composition window, at an airshow, or motorsport event for example a 5 to 11 frame burst is the most that is actually practical. I typically end up with a usable burst of 5 to 8 frames, and can find a single frame, or perhaps two to work on. https://www.dropbox.com/s/apoel49w3s05ota/screenshot_48.jpg When I have shot an event such as the triathlon cyclists making a slow climb towards me up an extremely steep hill, Cl at 4-5fps is just fine, 8-11fps is too much, and just over-kill. https://www.dropbox.com/s/93je2mw5g665zbk/screenshot_47.jpg There is a difference between shooting live critters and cars. Are not pilots, drivers, and cyclists live critters? Most of the time their vehicles are the subject. The expressions on the planes and cares do not change. However, for some odd reason the expressions on cyclists seem to change quite often. https://www.dropbox.com/s/jtpwq70bxjf7dhg/DSF2420-E.jpg https://www.dropbox.com/s/cit0eig1wcbplnh/DSF2575-E.jpg https://www.dropbox.com/s/7xgpw562ct8exl4/DSF2716-E.jpg https://www.dropbox.com/s/b9iscn0ugjcwtgw/DSF2775-E.jpg I like the first and fourth, best. I suspect there are more birds and monkeys, than cyclists. -- PeterN |
