Very glad you have the mirrorless - how significant is the weight saving on a rig like that?
Thanks Peter.
Yes Peter, it is significantly lighter than a D610 (640g x 1350g - with battery), and the body is also thinner.
I am still learning to use the camera but:
The things I am liking:
- focus peaking for quick focus (hand held, moving birds, etc)
- focus magnification for tripod work and fixed subjetcs
Both far better than the not always precise focus dot of Nikon DSLRs viewfinder.
-the sensor looks like superb and perhaps even better than the D810 one?!
Things I dislike:
- as someone pointed out (Leighton or Kevin?), the menu system is odd to be polite;
- and the battery life is ridiculous! You need to buy 1-2 more batteries for a day long shooting session...
