End of an era - mst - 11-08-2020
The D3x finally found a new home today.
Feeling kind of sad, because it has served me well and reliably for almost 12 years.
On the other hand: no more sensor dust cleaning
Well, ok, now and then, still, but certainly not as often as in the last 12 years...

Wow, 12 years. My 70-200/2.8 has been serving for this long, and it's been through a lot.
Whither from here? D850 or straight to Z?
RE: End of an era - mst - 11-09-2020
Yep, same here. The camera has been to a lot of places and collected a few physical memory marks
I occasionally grab the D850 for some shots, since it's in the house (or the lab) anyway. As is the Z7, but I haven't used it for anything else but (upcoming) reviews so far.
My main camera now is a D5.

What's changed that your need for sensor cleaning has reduced ??

The D3x was the last Nikon without built-in sensor cleaning.
