For many, the abundance of settings and features will seem redundant. The sensor by order of Nikon is manufactured by Sony (Not Sony matrices, namely by order. With certain parameters). This is your camera, unless, of course, you need shock resistance, dust and moisture protection, a large number of focus sensors, an additional display, etc. But this is a different category and a different price tag.
