This is a really nice shot however I would level the horizon and selectively sharpen and burn the bottom left edge where DOF falls away, like this .

Forget the failed Kickstarter campaign with no refunds, who would buy from a company where the person running it is nameless and faceless?

Seriously, look them up. Under contact there's an email address and phone number. Dig a little deeper and all you'll find is a PO box.

Judging by the comments on the ******** page from people who placed orders months ago and haven't received anything + the failed Kickstarter campaign you would have to be crazy to send this company a single dime now.

Photography equipment manufacturers sure know how to ream their customers.
Grease for the tripod locks comes in a two pack of tiny tubes for $20. They don't even tell you how much is in it but it's less than travel sized toothpaste.
The exact same stuff in a 500g tub from an auto store costs $10. Enough of a supply for several lifetimes.

Amazing! What camera/lens did you use for those bird photos? The detail is crazy!!
Here's a shot I took from the top of a tower in Bologna. Felt like I was in Assasins Creed!

5D Mark IV almost-official specss….
I hope this competes with Nikon as I'm too invested to ever switch to Nikon lol.
Although I'm not sure I'll ever be able to afford this if college doesn't quit raping me.

However the real question for me is the sensor. They've been reheating and repackaging the same sensor technology for over 10 years.
Fanboys will be quick to point out if you nail your exposures, use flash, bracket, etc., then it shouldn't matter, but there are definitely situations where you'd prefer to be working with a Nikon RAW file for all that extra clean detail in the shadows.
That's the main reason why I'd still prefer a D800E/D810 to a 50mp Canon 5DSR.

The reality is the highlight latitude of all digital cameras (aside from Fuji's old Super CCD technology) is straight up garbage. You've got around 2-3 stops above middle gray. There are so many shots where you'll easily need another 3-4 stops above that to expose middle gray as middle gray without clipping highlights.
Unless you can light the subject with flash, use a grad filter to pull back the sky, or bracket exposures and blend later with a subject that isn't moving, then you're forced to underexpose the whole scene to keep those highlights and then try and bring back the rest of the exposure in post.
As you know this is where Nikon and any manufacturer using a Sony sensor has a clear edge over Canon.
It's not marketing spin or meaningless scenarios that don't occur in the real world. Unless you're working in a studio where you can control the lighting it's going to be an issue.

However, my old D800 continues to provide more camera than I can rightly say I need. No justification to upgrade to the D810, let alone this Hassy beast.
Depending on the D900/D820 though it's going to be interesting whether I sell off old gear/canon stuff and get another body.
The D900 would have to do some neat stuff. DR improvements, ~50mp, clean high ISO, maybe some kind of pixel shift high res shot mode, 1 or 2 more frame per second, etc.
I have a feeling that isn't going to happen.

50mp+ is always a possibility but my guess is they will go with a 42mp sensor like the Sony A7R II.
For landscapes I've got a pano setup that is working pretty well so resolution isn't really an issue. I'd like to see improvements to the interface. No reason why these cameras shouldn't be able to automate processes like panos, exposure blending, focus stacking, etc. and spit out a RAW file. I'd rather spend more time taking photos and less time screwing around in software.

Also the auto-pano feature of a phone but with the IQ of a big full frame sensor, as you move it around, even in a sphere, it stitches the pano together.

This isn't fanboy gloating since I have no strong emotional connection to either brand but how did Canon get into this position of playing catch-up with Nikon?
D500 > 7Dmk2
D750 > 6D
Was looking at 5DmkIV specs: 30.4mp / 7fps / 61 point/41 cross-type AF / etc.
Nikon drops a 42mp D850/D900 with 6-7fps + the D5's 153-point/99 cross-type AF and it's game over.

It wasn't that long ago that Canon was way ahead. I'm not talking only sales but technology.
Nikon was "me too" and took years to respond (full frame DSLR, CMOS, etc.) and usually by the time they responded Canon had something better.
That's not the case now. Role reversal. For every Canon DSLR in the range Nikon have one that matches or exceeds it.

That being said, if you have friends who own a lot of Canon gear or you've got access to Canon lenses at work for example, that could influence your decision.
For the past 10 years I've only owned full frame DSLRs but a D500 looks extremely tempting. Would have to be the best all round DSLR.

Now, that is moderately recent…hence you may be talking about a time before mines.
