I've been shooting with a D500 for many years, and FINALLY they asked about it. One of the questions they asked was what were the three things I looked for when buying a new camera.

In the old days press photographers would choose the heaviest cameras they could get in case they had to use their cameras as melee weapons to fight their way out of riots. It hasn't happened to me, but it's a tradition."
