Yes, I want to buy both the Sony A9 AND the Nikon D850 so I can take better pictures. Which ever one I choose, I will give the other one to my 7 year old grandson. He likes taking pictures too! I am leaning toward the Sony because with the Nikon, you have to buy a battery grip in order to get 9fps. How stupid is that? The Sony shoots at 12fps without one. My dilemma is this; most people on UHH poo-poo the EVF that Sony uses because they say it's not real. Well, we watch television, don't we? I wonder what lens I should get? And if I go on a trip, can I still take either one as carry on if I travel by air? After all, they are big! And what should I shoot at when I get there?

Here is an example of what I am talking about. My camera only has a 26.5 mp APS-C sensor. I shot this photo with a stock lens and I was about 259 yards away. I had to enlarge and crop this picture just to see these egrets at all. Is photoshop a good program for this sort of thing or, am I just wasting my money It costs me about $11.00 a month with tax. I guess I could spend that money at Starbucks instead.

1. Regarding a purchase -- Buy new eye glasses first.

2 Buy a bird identification guide.

3. If you drank beer before posting, you may have , like so many people do after drinking, mouthed the words as you typed them. This often leads to catching your tongue in you eye tooth and results in you not being able to see what you are saying.

4. Regarding the $14,000.00, I have a suggestion which would involve you standing on a very busy street corner with a sign. I think you could raise the full amount in about an hour. The sign should read as follows, "Will wrestle your Mother-in-law for a $1."

I hope that helps, good luck to you.
