I am retired and started photography 45 years ago. Went fully digital in 2001. The last 8 years I shoot with Nikon 95%, the other camera;s being Fuji X10 and X100. I lo ve using the D7200, D600, D610 and D850. Sure they are big and heavy, I have Nikon battery grips on all 4, but a absolute joy to use. They all have minimal 150k clicks each left in them. As they stop working, I will upgrade to the Z system. Same goes for the glass ranging from 12 to 600mm. Camera's are just a tool, but tools need to be functioning perfectly. At the end of the day it is the photo that counts. There is no need to follow the hype and buy another "newest model". Have a look for Martin Castein on Youtube for using older camera's.
