Thanks, RocketCowboy.
Right but actually D810 is still my #1 choice, although you might not believe it from my mumblings and grumblinga. I wanted to share my concerns with you guys and its nice to get all this positive feedback. My choice is largely based on the unbeatable dynamic range of the 810 which is years ahead of Canon and maybe only surpassed by the very latest Sonys. The A7Rii is a hair's breath above the 810 on DXO mark. I'm not sure yet about that camera, I need to do a lot more research on it and it's the wrong place to discuss that here anyway.
You're right. At the end of day its what will feel comfortable with and what produces the pictures I like. I want something which I can use for all styles of photography, but principally landscapes, and one which will produce images which occasionally can be blown up big and wall-mounted. I need a camera that's future proof for at least a few years. I'm not a pro who's going to be buying up new models each year.
I currently own a Canon 60D which is a toy in comparison to full frame cameras, but I've taken thousands of beautiful photos with it albeit at a lower resolution and lower iso quality (higher noise is what I'm trying to say) than a full frame would give me. I won one competion with an image I took with the 60D, but I know if I was shooting full frame I'd have a better chance in competitions. I only have one full frame canon lens which I could sell and buy the nikon version (Tamrom 150-600mm) so I really won't lose very much at all if I decide to switch over to Nikon. Whatever camera I choose the raw files are going to be much bigger so that might present challenges for my rather old laptop. I should probably be more worried about that!
Cheers,
David.
