Mirrorless cameras allow you to see the exposure that will be rendered before you make the exposure itself. This means that to a large extent bracketing is unnecessary. The cameras are lighter and for me the Fuji XT2 control layout is superior to anything Nikon or Canon has offered in a DSLR. This is just my personal preference but it mimics my Nikon F3 in many ways.

Does this apply to long night exposures too? I have been disappointed with the D300 and D3300, live view screens in this respect, it's OK with 'normal' exposures and video but for long exposures it doesn't seem to provide any clue as to the expected look of final image. It COULD of course be operator error...

No long exposure results are not so accurate. For short exposures it is a definite plus.

If live-view means looking at the monitor , then that`s when the camera dances in my hands...I can not use that feature on my D3S due to it doing the cha-cha , mambo, foxtrot all at the same time...is that operator-error without the operator being at fault... If only the waist-level finder could be re-invented...

The advantage of mirrorless is that there is no optical viewfinder but you rely on the eyepiece electronic viewfiender whoch yields an image as the sensor will capture it (more or less). On the Fujis you have the eyepiece or the TFT screen on the back of the camera whichever you choose. At this point in time I am very much still on assessment mode for the D850 but the IQ from the camera is limited by the lens I am sure. Focus speed is excellent as is the AF accuracy.

Auto tracking on these Canada Geese was spot on focus locked on the front birds. Nikon 500mm AF-S F4 Lens plus x1.4 = 700mm 800ISO 1/1000 sec F18. I'm getting to grips with the new camera and it is working very well. Noise levels are very impressive, sharpness spot on. Attachment: Canada Geese.jpg (Downloaded 13 times)

That's my concern. I won't commit the necessary cash for 500mm or 600mm primes and without doing that, I fear the D850 quality advantage won't be realised. I feel the D500 may still be my preferred route for long range photography.

I keep hearing that , but I`ve found that the better the camera is, the better the lens gets , my ancient 55mm/f1.2 was never a champion at anything , but on the D3S/X when selecting the right profile , it delivers sharp, punchy pics. with good color rendition , even wide-open , so perhaps a software thing then....when everything clicks , overall quality improves tremendously,..there are several here who shoot with " classic " lenses,and perhaps have made the same experiences ?
