    “Old” high-end DSLRs are aging well, digital photography has been in the diminishing returns for a while now. You’re almost surely getting better pictures out of a 10 year old flagship than a brand new mid-level camera, and the “thoroughly tested” part matters a lot in spaceflight

      Still surprises me that it’s a D5 of all things, but then my main camera is only a year newer than that one. Not sure I’d use a DSLR at this point though.
