I had to learn to photograph differently with this GX7
The viewfinder was much too slow, and unpleasant to use, I ended up using the screen more, and holding the camera chest-high.

Its big flaw for me, of course, is having a screen articulated on a ball joint. I hate that!

Sigmas are very temperamental cameras. You have to like making life more difficult to use such a device and its Sigma_PhotoPro6 software. 😈

40MP sensor (7728 x 5152)
Price: $1,699.00 USD

Fujifilm X-T5 (2022) by Marc Aubry, sur Flickr

It is my most recent camera, which I learn to master day after day...
In my opinion, it's one of the best value for money you can find on the market today.
$1,699.00 USD is a lot of money, but if you compare it to the Sony, Canon, and Nikon FF, you can already breathe easier.

But the choice of a camera, remains very personal
As the saying goes: To choose is to give up

Hasselblad H1D (2005)
Mamiya ZD 22MP (2006)
Leica M8 and or M9 (2006)
Olympus OM-D E-M1X (2019)

More realistic

Hi,

Dissuasive prices, if ignored, dissolve bank accounts! :P

Here's my latest comparison between the Minolta RD-3000 (1999) and the Nikon D810 (2014)

🎓

The J5 and the Sigma 135 Art are a perfect combination for wild birds, that are not too shy, or elephants at a distance!

Still use my D600 occasionally. It has worked flawlessly through the years, but it did get the deoiling-of-the-sensor treatment for free, including a firmware upgrade!

How can you keep them all running?! Do you charge them regularly?!

I love handling and using these old DSLRs, and one of the reasons for my many comparisons (293) is to force myself to go out with them, at least once every 12 or 15 months. It helps keep everyone alive. 😇

Thanks for the little visit, and good photos ...
