The 300PF + 1.4TC is an excellent combo, but on a D750 it'll come up short much of the time. I'd recommend a 500PF - super light, incredibly fast and sharp.

Thanks for the kind words everyone :)
The thing is, between low engagement numbers, the negative e-mails, confusion, and honestly - the unsettling numbers of people un-subbing from my newsletter everytime I sent out a podcast update - it just wasn't worth it to me. It actually takes a lot more time to come up with these than their 20 minute average time would indicate, and it seemed to be a losing proposition. Ironically, I think this may be the first time anyone has actually even mentioned one of the podcasts outside of my site. Lack of shares = lack of growth.
I've owned internet-based businesses for over 20 years now - before I was able to to wildlife photography / education full time. In the time, I've become fairly good at spotting a bad idea - I figured ultimately that my time would be better spent on other projects / videos / articles. When you realize you're making a mistake, I've found it best to stop making the mistake (many don't) and move on.
Again, thank you for your support.

Make sure Custom Setting A6 is "OFF" (set to AF-On Only.)

It's funny, when I was reading through the info I was trying to decide what constituted "published" - and I think you're correct. I was going to call and see when I get a chance. Thanks!

To clarify, in the US, your creative work is protected by copyright the moment you click the shutter. Registration is optional. However, registration gives you a much stronger legal position if it comes to it. As of now, I don't register my images - however - after doing some research I may start. $55 for 750 pics doesn't seem unreasonable.

Thanks for the concern about the BBAF booklet, but that one can be distributed freely. Enjoy!

Depends on what you're doing. I love the Z7 for landscape and macro, but no way would I trade it for my D850 when it comes to wildlife / action. Also, the D850 offers a lot more customization and control. IMO, the Z7 is more of a mid-range body, where the D850 is a pro camera. Just wish they had a pro mirrorless - then we'd be all set :)

Be careful with using older flashes on newer gear - the voltage is far too high and it can fry your camera.

You know we all love ya, but, you are quoting nikon RUMORS. I know you know the definition on RUMOR.
I will say nothing more.
As you have posted earlier, Nikon announces it's flagships very predictively, usually just before a major sporting event.
But, until Nikon does make their announcement, there is NO D6, YET.

The thing is, there are different degrees of "rumor" - you have to figure out which ones are more reliable. I'm glad I mentioned the D6 to the OP. It would have been a shame for him to purchase a new D5 right now with the D6 around the corner.

The D7500 is probably one of the most underrated cameras ever. IMO, it's a little gem and I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Have fun and congrats!

Fair enough :) I'll report back on the 4th :)

Looks like the D6 is actually getting announced sooner than expected, you know, for those who thought I was making stuff up :D
