It's personal so I wont bore everyone with a book of 'why these 3 cameras'.
Suffice to say.
I'm keeping the D850 and primes for 'serious' duties.
I'm keeping the Z 50 and kit lenses for mrs me because i'm told that's what's happening, so...
I'm looking for my own walk around.
My rough want list was.
Never be disappointed with the image quality, but be realistic. Nothing here ever to be viewed above A3 size.
I'm oldish. Weights over 1200g are out. That's life.
I shoot from 24-around 100. That range would never be too limited. i have feet and can move (just hahahha ).
The finer detail?
4/3rds is too compromised IQ wise
I want to LOVE this camera for its personality, ease of use, looks, and build.
And I don't like something (don't ask for details) about Sony.
Leica Q, Canon, Nikon or Fuji.
In the end I picked these 3.
Leica Q3
Nikon Z5 with 24-70 f4
or Fuji X-T5 with 16-55 2.8
Compromises everwhere and temptations in equal quantity!
Leica? I never owned one but I think I really want to. However 28 - 90 and that cropped to silly degrees? Hmmm 700 odd gms tho!
Nikon? 24mp? Is that going to do those 'must have sparkling detail moments and f4??
Fuji is a handsome devil in black and that lens is great but how heavy? 1212g? Really? for an APSC? The Z5 FF is lighter, so why go APSC?
Hmmmm
All advice from uses more than welcome!
