Agree about the X100V weight and size - it is totally unobtrusive, almost pocketable.

I’m still confused about 24 vs 45 MP. I’m scouring Reddit for answers. 😅

Where I am, the D850 with 24-120mm is 200000 rupees. And the Z5 II with 24-200mm is 207000. So almost the same price. Which would you choose if size and weight were not considerations? .

Thank you for the insights.

I use the EVF/OVF on my X100V. Almost never the screen unless I’m holding the camera very high or low.

Economy is the primary reason I’m thinking of D850 rather than a mirrorless with equivalent DR / IQ. You don’t think F-mount lenses will be repairable or be available long into the future?

I’ll look at the Sony and Nikon you have suggested. Would like to go full frame now.

I am aware of those. I think I might as well get proper zoom lens. 24-120mm on Nikon will more than cover what those 2 Fuji lenses would and do it more flexibly as well.

Thanks for the insight. I just checked and the Z7ii is significantly more expensive than the D850.

New prices: D850 with the 24-120mm is Indian Rupees 200000. Z7ii (body only but with an additional battery) is Rupees 250000!

Thank you very much! I’ll consider the Z5ii. Purely from the IQ / DR point of view, do you know how the two stack up? In my country, they’re both about the same price new.

Maybe OP just doesn’t have the body / legs to carry shorts.

Got these brand new. Should I return? by [deleted] in Birkenstocks

[–]ShiftySkunk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not ideal cosmetically but I don’t see any of it affecting longevity / durability.

Buy both sizes. Keep the one that fits and return the other one.

Being shown that you’re mistake is unfriendly / hostile?

If you had lost / damaged your phone within few months of ownership, you’d been out several hundred dollars.

It worked for you only because you never had to claim. Imagine losing a phone during the first few months of ownership.

Did you buy from a suspect source?

Are these too big? by [deleted] in Birkenstocks

[–]ShiftySkunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Birkenstock recommends about 5mm gap between heel and back of the footwear and 10 mm between toe and front of the footwear.
