I’m glad you’re finding it a love affair, but just the opposite here. If I were to do it over, I’d get a light crop sensor Nikon for hiking, and buy a Nikon D850 for all other photography.
The ergonomics (mostly the move of control buttons to the right side) and the electronic view finder are difficult for me to become accustomed to. Image quality is superb, but retraining my muscle memory is proving difficult.
I know some folks may think I am a knuckle dragger, but I am with Steve. I will keep my Nikon DSLRs until they or I die. I relish the feeling of seeing something I want to photograph and use the camera almost like an extension of my hand and eyes to get the photo. Likely it is a sign I am too set in my ways to learn a new system.
More often lately I encounter people using mirrorless systems. They seem satisfied with their gear.
So far though, I have not seen a mirrorless image that I could not get with my old DSLRs. And I have a lot invested in the bodies and lenses.
My primary cameras nowadays are the D850, with a grip, which gives me 9 frames per second, the D500 which gives me the same autofocus function as the D850, with 10 frames per second, and the D5 for low light situations.
