Arashiyama Hanatoro (嵐山花灯路)
The Sony GM lenses are made to handle even higher resolution sensors to come, especially the later ones like the FE16-35mm f2.8 GM.
The bamboo leaves are practically individually distinct as per this shot.
With the push towards 8k and beyond, ever higher mp sensors is not a pipe-dream.
Mirrorless is the way forward for very high mp sensors. Sony A7r2 was the 1st body to enable properly crisp handheld shots at high mp without the penalty of shooting at 1 to 2 stops higher shutter speeds just to counter mirror and shutter shocks. From personal experience, Nikon's D800E was an abject failure at this. I am frankly surprised that there has not been a class action against Nikon for failure of fitness for purpose pertaining to the D800 bodies.
As such I've zero interest in D850 because it's more of the same, its sensor is not much better than that of the older Sony A7r2 and it has the same mirror and shutter issues as D800E. If I shoot sports or anything that requires high shutter speeds, the D850 is fine. For handheld stills the D850 is in fact worse.
Hopefully Nikon's upcoming mirrorless body will be a good one.
