[QUOTE="Woodyg3, post: 675135, member: 24569"] I know two pro wildlife photographers using Sony A9 bodies, and they are both very happy with them. I do get the attraction to the A9. 20 fps, apparently great autofocus, exposure preview with the EVF, some weight reduction, great video, it all seems nice. But, it's not several thousand dollars nice, IMO. Especially with limited lens availability. We'll see how the new Nikon mirrorless cameras perform, and especially with current F-mount lenses attached with whatever adapter they are going to provide. I know people who are ready to put there money down right now, and that kind of new product mania will drive early sales. A couple of years from now we will see if those people made a wise choice. Meanwhile, I refuse to buy into the idea that my D500 is obsolete. Nope, not even my "old" D7100 is not a relic of times gone by. Gee, I even have a few ancient lenses with no image stabilization. They aren't obsolete, either, and I get very nice, sharp pictures with them. I won't be an early adopter, not because I don't believe in the idea of mirrorless technology, but because it's going to have to prove itself and become affordable first. Ten years from now, I'll probably own some kind of mirrorless camera, and I bet most of you will, too. :) [/QUOTE]
