Electrically speaking the camera doesnt care as long as voltage is correct and there is enough current to work the electronics.
I never moved past the D3S as I found that the D3/D3S gave me everything I need until I got D800/D810/D850. These were more economic to buy and more 'functional' for my use.
The bigger batteries give superior number of shots/charge and is for me the only attraction in the D5/D6, both are now discontinued. The D850 gave me whatI needed.
I still have one D850 for those occasional times when I need to use a DSLR but the mirrorless camera Zf, Z7, Z8 and Z9 are more than adequate for my current needs. The Z7 is slow to focus compared to all my other Zf, Z8, Z9 camera but it is tiny which makes it ideal for long treks.
I’ve come to a realisation… it’s not that my camera is too heavy for long treks…..it’s the treks are too long for my camera, and me.
If it’s too far to lug my one and only camera….its simply too far.
