Question - what current Nikon body produces comparable SOOC shots like a D3s or D700?
D850? D810? D750? D780? D4? D4s? or D5?
Asking because compared to my D500...my D3s shots are WAAAAYYYY more colorful and lively compared to the D500. Granted - different sensor sizes...but the D500 never comes close to image quality.
(sorry if this has been discussed in earlier threads...didn't see it while scanning the last few pages)
The answer is none. There was a big shift in the colour science with the D800 and future cameras. It was very obvious at the time. (Very subjective opinion follows) In many ways D800 and up have what looks like a more faithful presentation of the original colour compared to the D700. However, a bit like analog and digital audio media. Even though analogue has the snap, crackle and pop nothing can come close to the sound for a person for prefers and has a good analogue rig. Digital is just, well, clean.
When it comes to shooting people, I really loved and still very much do, the D700. The D300/s comes very close at low ISO, you can tell they are cameras from the same era but D700 is really a special camera.
