p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Should i pick up a used D4 or a used D500?? Help please... | |
I switched to Nikon in the fall (from Canon and Fuji) and I shoot a mix of landscape & wildlife (birds and dogs primarily). I currently have a D750 and I really like this body...But, I am lacking in frames per second and buffer vs either of the above two and a bit of focus speed vs the D500. Also, I would like to have the crop factor when shooting birds, as we all know we can never get close enough.
My main lens right now for this type of shooting is the 300mm f4 PF with a 1.4x mark 3. I won't be picking up another lens anytime soon, so this will be the set up.
My dilemma is this ... I have tried the D500 on 2 occasions and I am finding the IQ vs my D750 isn't close. The images on the back of the camera look good, but once I load them into LR, they seem soft and noisy vs the 750. Not horrible, but definitely hard to get used to. Having the crop factor really helps, but I'm not sure I can get used to the way the images look.
If I were to buy a used D4, I would get the FPS and the image quality, but I would sacrifice the crop factor and also pixels (but I'm not so concerned about that unless I am having to really crop in post).
Has anyone had this experience or dilemma in purchasing the D500, mostly related to IQ vs Full Frame?? I see such good images online from those using the D500, so it's making this decision hard.
Basically, I can get a used D4 for around $2400 and a used D500 for around $2100 (Canadian $$).
BTW, I am not looking to replace the D750, it will stay in the bag for landscapes ect...
