Yeah!
If you don't need the video features of newer cameras, the main advantage of newer DSLRs is improved low light performance.
You don't need the extra megapixels unless you have specific needs, such as perhaps astrophotography.
An "ancient" ~7.2MP sensor gives you 3000x2400 pixels. Plenty for full page prints at 300DPI.
- asdff 4y agoEven with the low light abilities, its not like low light photography was impossible before the sony a7s.... You do things like use a tripod or monopod. You can bring in supplemental lighting. You can also hand hold a wider lens and get away with lower shutter speeds too, and pull up what you can in post processing from the raw file. Noise can be made to look a lot more like film grain using some tricks in lightroom.
- JohnBooty 4y agoRight, of course. But being able to use faster shutter speeds is just a win in general for a huge number of applications.
