The improvements in digital really are getting to be off the charts, especially in ISO range.
I have a room full of 35 mm and medium frame cameras which will probably never be used again. I also have maybe 50 rolls of 35mm and 120 frozen in the freezer. They too will probably never be used.
Canon has announced a new body with a 50mp sensor. This is a 35mm size sensor too. I don’t know if it is on the market yet or not.
I am no longer really serious about photography and a basic DSLR will be fine. I even could get by with a auperzoom but please, it must have a viewfinder. I can get by with an evf but try taking pictures in the bright Sun with the lcd screen.
Oh, one more thing. Digital zoom is the same as no zoom. It has to be optical.
I just got a camera few months ago, the Canon 7D MK 11. 70 x 300 Canon zoom lens L IS series. Rebel xsi will now sit on the shelf.
I won’t buy a camera without a viewfinder.
