[QUOTE="Vincent, post: 577520, member: 15675"] My maybe changed into a yes. The first idea was to complement my current set of cameras with a D5. Looking into the budget, I was looking at current (mid 2016) D4S prices second hand. Then I tried to lower the budget and came to a D4, D500 and then D5 (selling the D4) purchase. Giving the D5 more time to become old before I purchase it. Now looking at discussions on the crop factor versus ISO preformance, I might have had it wrong. ISO might be less important to complement my current set up then crop factor with very good AF. The point does remain that the D5 has a different shutter mechanism and that the blackout time is a selling argument for the high end bodies. The D4 is a heck of a camera, but the AF of the D500, together with the crop and good ISO performance, probably would help me more in the difficult situations I'm trying to improve on then the superior D4 ISO preformance. The D4 is out of the picture. I have set a D500 purchase price in my head, now I have to see when I can get the camera at that price (currently 200 EUR too high at the cheapest point). Normally I should wait till 2018 on my photography budget, but I can transfer from the building budget (only due in 2019). My future set-up would then be: Main camera: D500 Low light: Sony A7S (manual or limited to a 300mm zoom lens), to be complemented later with a D5 (both due to difference in weight and lenses I can use) Secondary camera: D7000 (no intention in changing this till the D5 arrives) Allways with me camera: D70S (no intention in changing this till the D5 arrives) [/QUOTE]
