[QUOTE="nikonbill, post: 777010, member: 47024"] When I made the jump to a digital DSLR in early 2012 I was having good luck with Canon point and shoots and really impressed with customer service on one of those when it died. So going in I was Canon biased. I research a lot before purchases, and found the great advice to pick up the camera you want to buy and see how it "feels". This lead me to the local camera stores (they were still open then) and I made a few visits. No stranger to DSLR's (Pentax film shooter) the entry Canon model versus the Nikon (D5100) just did not "feel" right to my hand. The D5100 was great and used it a lot with the kit lenses. I then graduated to a D7200 in 2019 this camera has put the passion back in photography for me and confirmed Nikon's commitment to ergonomics. I think all the major camera makers can offer similar "image" quality, my advice to folks searching is in handling, (or personal ergonomics) buy what feels right in your hand. As I have got reactivated I am leaning that different Nikon cameras "feel" similar to me. I am excited for the mirror less technology, currently following the Z50 threads (would like to stay with the APS-C sensor for lens reach) so impressed with the images folks are getting with that body and the ability to use existing lens with the FTZ adapter to ease the total cost at one time.
