[QUOTE="BF Hammer, post: 823293, member: 48483"] About your daughter relying on P-mode: I do not see switching to tactile dials as a way to change that. It is the fact that the Auto and P-mode exists that it is used. A DF still has those. I only see the Df as a secondary body to use. The feature set is a serious downgrade from a D750 or D780. Still I myself tried to justify buying one over the years but I could not get past the high prices a used body still gets. It really is a nostalgia thing above all else. Especially when you consider the low-low prices that you can buy back a D750 for. It just is a better body on tech specs. Myself, I am in early stages of moving to Z-mount. Still working on buying the Z lenses to replace F lenses I have and use with the adapter on a Z5. But I retain my D750 as a second body. When I reach a tipping point the D750 and most remaining lenses will get traded in for a new Z8. Would love to have a Zf as the second body, but even then I maybe don't see enough of a technical upgrade from the Z5 to buy one. [/QUOTE]
