See my Nikon wish list and get Nikon D850 at B&H Photo.

MPG has advised users, particularly profeessional users, not to upgrade to macOS High Sierra for at least 6 months.

Apple quality control has gone seriously downhill over the past 5 years. The most recent evidence for that is exposing cleartext passwords + a new zero day exploit and having to rush out a fix. It speaks volumes.

Below is a camera-related issue issue I received in email today: you might not be able to update firmware for Sony cameras when running macOS HighSierra. Sony ought to be more clear, is it it “may not” [sic] or “will not”.
