How long have you had your 40D Nivag?
Since 2009, I bought it 2nd hand. The last year or so I've been wanting a camera that handles low light better. I've got 3 lovely lenses, so reluctant to swap brand due to the added cost of buying new glass.
Sony are bloody excellent in low light and you can always use an adapter for your old lenses....
Well, you know I'm always of the opinion that you take the best photos on the camera you like to use the most, so I'd say why not. I know you always liked the OM-D, and while it might not have the pixel-peeping high ISO performance of the Sony, modern m43 cameras are still perfectly usable at 3200 or more, particularly with fast primes.You know what? I'm debating moving back to Micro Four Thirds and getting the new Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark III. The thing that pushed me into going full frame was taking football pics in the badly lit Dulwich Hamlet ground but now that they've got no shortage of snappers I'm fed up with the extra weight.
Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark III review | Digital Camera World
The Sony A7ii is a great camera but you know that thing when you buy something but never get to love it? That's how I feel about the Sony set up, even though it takes cracking pics. The lenses weigh a ton, but I prefer to use the Sony RX1 and even the Huawei P30 phone is doing a brilliant job of capturing the night shots I like.

Only one is a crop only lens. The rest will work on both.
Until early 2018 I was a dedicated Sony User, sadly age has crept in and I have switched to Olympus micro 4/5 I have a Mk1 EM5 .. a troublesome M5 mk 2 and a M1 mk 1. I do find the low light performance poorer than the Sonys but at least I can carry them about without crippling myself and do find the lightweight Panasonic 45 to 150 lens to be useful for much of the time. There is also that lovely little 45mm f1.8 Olympus lens.
I have found the ibis on the Olympus OMD cameras to be very effective.
It's the 150-600 Sigma, the Contemporary one. Contemplated buying the more expensive 'Sport' but it's significantly heavier and gets similar reviews. The Manfrotto is a 055MF4 that I've had for some years now, with a 488RC2 head.mauvais nice big lens, is that the xx-500 Nikon? (I forgot the first number) my Manfrotto tripod is a bit similar to that, different head though. With a D500 you should be getting quite a massive telephoto with that l lens!!
Aha I have an 055 but perhaps an earlier model, I forget the designation of my head.
Nikon's APS-C (DX) has a crop factor of 1.5x, so a 35mm equivalent of 900mm.600 aha, what does that give you effective zoom? something massive I would guess
You can do portrait shots while you are social distancing!
900mm (600 * 1.5)
Yes, it extends out and can be tilted. Not something I use much but can be useful occasionally.
D'oh, yes.
My Fuji S2 failed around power issues.
How do you plan to sell them?
I was planning on eBay but I figure now's not a good time!
Just been window shopping on mpb.com interestingly most of my lenses are still selling at about what I paid for them going back many years. My Nikon dslr has come down quite a bit, and the next newer model along is now priced at what I paid for mine 2 years ago. Browsing mpb is like being in a sweetie shop so many interesting lenses etc, of course the very best are not cheap though
