Things that I touched and really loved, but didn’t buy I was taken aback when I realized that the D810 images are even sharper than the D4 images! I settled on the Nikon D810 ( affiliate) for its high resolution, and for its fantastic image quality. While a D610 or D750 would be a fine back-up camera to those beasts, I really wanted a camera that offered me more and offered me different. But it also needed to offer me more than my D4 bodies do.

I wonder how much of our lives are wasted waiting during those tiny tiny moments where we wait for a computer to respond. I even got the 1Tb SSD drive, opting out of a Fusion Drive.Īll those interstitial moments we lose when images load or save – those moments add up into a lot of lost time.

Its optical performance also surpassed that of the Nikon. Then the Sigma 50mm f/1.4 ART lens hit the market, and it looks and feels like quality. It is my least used lens, aside from the fish-eye.
