>>4384323Just look up the expected shutter life for the camera in question (Google). Be aware that the rating is an average. Some don't make it that far, some go much further.
No experience with the Z30. As for the 5DsR
- IQ beast better than MF film. Immersive fine detail, big prints, 2x cropping when needed. Can support 60" prints with sharp glass, and 2x cropping.
- Built like a tank.
- Excellent OVF, 1DX derived AF using the OVF, and exposure meter. It even has iTR (mirrorless like subject tracking) through the OVF, not as good as decade newer mirrorless bodies, but works pretty well in certain situations.
- Excellent detail and noise characteristics to ISO 3200. 6400 and 12800 are usable, just don't expect 60" prints from them and apply a little NR.
- Not very tolerant of underexposure at high ISO, you definitely want a good histogram.
- Base ISO DR a little better than Portra. If you nail your exposures and learn ETTR you won't have a problem.
- Great ergonomics.
- Bigger and heavier than mirrorless bodies, it's a weather sealed DSLR tank.
- Video almost isn't worth mentioning, except that it does produce good, sharp 1080p. But you're on your own, LiveView/video AF sucks and there are none of the tools video guys expect. It was the early days of hybrid video.
- My only real complaint is that the RAW buffer is 17 frames with a fast card. It's definitely not a "spray and pray" camera. But if you anticipate peak moments, perfectly capable of fast action photography. Other than that, fucking awesome with amazing IQ.
