I've been debating lately whether I want to keep my D810 with grip or sell it and get a D3s instead.
I think I'm really obsessed with an integrated pro body but can't afford a D4 or D4s just yet financially.
But I'm worried that I may be missing out on functions that newer generation cameras offer.
What are your opinions?
If it is only the "grip" no way should you switch.
Curious what are the functions on the newer generations that you feel you might miss you should stay put that are missing on a D3s? I simplfiy it to focus, FPS, IQ/DR, resolution. The D8xx and Dx offer very different extremes.
I had a D810 several times over, it is the best all around Nikon camera ever! .
I just went back to a Df/D4. Got my D4 today tried on my 24-70, 70-200, 200F2. There is no question handling a integrated grip with the 2.8 zooms ( no strap ) has a level of security that I never found with a DSLR with added grip. Put it into 10FPS and was sweet music to my ears. I am looking forward to shooting dance and some sports this fall and nothing beats a pro body and quick bursts with lightening fast focus to pick the best frame, simply not as easy with a D810.
I shot my D810 in low light and for stage shows/ballet. It was wonderful and I wouldn't have traded it for a D4 / D3s.
For sports/action the camera pick is the other way around.
The swing factor for me, I've printed many of my favorite pictures to 16x20, I didn't find D4 versus D3s versus D810 to really matter that much, and my best pictures all came from the higher FPS cameras. decision was done.
They are just tools, pick the best one, sometimes feel is important. I am looking forward to the handling of my D4 and 70-200 2.8 this fall.
