Absolutely not! Yesterdays technology, beautifully implemented but still yesterdays tech.

The single digit D range is a highly specialised body for heavy duty professional use. I don't see it relevant to general photography or leisure use. Maybe motor racing or field sports where the user is needing high frame rate and a very robust tool. If I came across a clean D5 at a give away price and I had spare funds (unlikely) I might be tempted, D6... even more unlikely.

I have owned all the single digit D series, except the D5 and I find them very relevant to general photography. They don't have features that I don't want; built in flash scene modes etc. They have common batteries, D2 and D3 anyway and there is a charger that, with an adaptor can charge EN-EL4 and EN-EL18 batteries so only one charger to carry. Battery life is long and that usually means a week's holiday on one battery pre body. They have built-in grips and I dislike having a finger handing off the bottom of a camera. Why don't I want a built in flash, simple they are far too close to the lens axis to be of any real use and in any case a single flash can produce some very harsh effects. I rarely use flash now anyway. One other very personal consideration is that I actually like the handling of these cameras, they are all very similar. They are also smaller than other bodies once a grip is added. Until such time as I can't carry them I'll keep using the single digit bodies.

I stopped at the D3 when I retired. I would just make the point that the D750 and D850 have bodies that don't leave a finger hanging off the bottom and performances that really don't need the extra battery grip. At 1/2 & 2/3 of the weight and 1/5 & 1/2 the price of the D5 (respectively) .... it's hard to argue the advantage of a D5 for amateur use. The Ds do feel nice in the hand...but so does the D850.

NO, From the information on the D6 so far, I see nothing new/revolutionary. If I wanted a fresh single-digit D camera, I would buy a used D4/D4s, for something like a third of the price of a new D6. Regards, Gilbert
