Do some computer/camera combinations require some type of driver download for the pictures to be displayed?
MT - I see that you will soon be retiring. Congratulations, and wishing you the best as you go forward.
Please don't let that stop you from providing your input on the various photographic questions that arise. Your valued knowledge is beneficial to all of us.

Another thing to keep in mind with a used Nikon is whether or not it is a Gray Market unit. If buying it new from an authorized dealer or directly from Nikon, there should be no problem. From any other source, if you get the serial number, you may be able to determine its status buy calling Nikon customer service. Depending on who you speak with, they can look it up. If it was sold new to a dealer directly from Nikon, or had come in for servicing, they should be able to tell you.
Can't we just enjoy our pictures without getting overly technical?

Oh yes. In those days you could spend more time in dealing with the composition of the picture and not have to deal with all kinds of settings.
I would think it best to take auto ISO off and set manually......if you want the 2 to be set the same. A slight movement could change exposure.
I don't believe Canons have protectors, so I assume that the screens are durable enough. Probably applies to Nikons also?

Yes, Canon has always worked hard to keep that info secret. Whenever someone comes up with a program to read it, Canon changes the programing or updates the software to make it unavailable again. Funny how every other camera manufacturer simply embeds the shutter count in their Exif data to make it simple to read for all.
MT - What do you think is the benefit to Canon to keep the shutter count secret?

I probably added the D810 as the typo, but whether D810 or D850, you're still taking full-frame cameras with high mega pixel sensors, so you're still talking about new lenses to go along with a full-frame camera. You might find the D750 or even either of the two Z models already released as better options to the top-line D8xx. Or even the D7500. Many who jump to the 46 MP range of the D850, they start having issues with the file sizes and the size and processing power of their computer. The quality of the lenses also factors into these bodies where the resolution of the sensor can highlights flaws in lessor lenses that were not seen when mounted to other cameras.

I have also read of the concerns you mentioned with the 46MP D850.
As I have been contemplating a D810, would those same concerns apply..... or at 36MP is it not a big problem?
With the advent of post Processing, not so sure that camera settings are as important as they might have been. Pictures can be lightened, darkened, cropped, etc. More time can be spent with composition.
Heavy may have its problems, BUT there's something about having a substantial size camera in your hands.
For me it translates into a feel that results in the taking of better pictures. Seems like you are more a part of the camera and the scene you are taking.
