wannabegood Loc: Connecticut
 
I have been reading the conversations on here for a little while and have often found them to be very valuable. Thanks for the education...along with the humor! My photography has been mostly of wildlife and landscapes, especially since I became pretty serious about it in the last few years. We also travel quite a bit so I am trying to improve my "storytelling" skills on those adventures. I use Nikon gear (please don't hold that against me Canon folks! And my wife uses Sony!). My first question here is: what am I better off using with my longer lenses for the largest, clearest images possible, my D750 and a 1.7 teleconverter or my D7000 and it's 1.5 crop factor? Could it be both, depending on what I am shooting and what factors (on that day) come into play? I shoot all RAW, if that might change anything. Thanks for your responses. I apologize if this has already been covered.

I have lots of questions but will not inundate you in one post. Hint: I have Lightroom, but need to take a course in how to use it efficiently. That could be a lengthy topic. There are so many more too! Thanks.

Welcome aboard. In general terms teleconverters take away from the quality of the image. To answer your question I would use your DX 7000. You can find many free Youtubes on learning Lightroom. I use Lightroom. Great tool to catalogue and process images. 95 percent of what I want to do to my images I can do in Lightroom. The balance in PhotoShop.

Welcome aboard.
I find the humor here much better than anything on TV.

Your D750 is a 24 MP FF sensor. The D7000 is a 16 MP crop sensor. You will get clearer photos with the FF.
