My daughter and I shoot together and she has a D7000 and I a D3400. I inherited some money and bought us each a D750. We shoot many indoor and low light events and are both very happy with the upgrade. A lot fewer missed focus in the darker environments and cleaner images. She mostly uses a Nikkor 18-200 and I used a 50mm 1.8 (before I bought 'Baby' Sigma 105mm F1.4) If you shoot mainly outdoors in good light you won't see much difference. In dim indoor shots where flash may not be allowed it is a night and day difference and you can't take our D750's from us.

Buy a tripod when you get there.

How are you liking your results with the 50mm f1.8 or the 85 f1.8? That should give you an idea as to whether the lens would be the solution or a FF camera. If these lenses are giving you the results you are looking for, then maybe a new lens is in order. If they don't, then the 50-100 is not going to do it either.

I went from crop to FF and never looked back. To me there is just no comparison to image quality and low light capability.

Results are pretty decent with both primes but I do need more distance for stage shots.

Looks like a killer lens, but I'm surprised it's not stabilized.

good point. 70-200 f2.8 with image stabilizing would get 2 to 3 stops (I've seen claims up to four stops) so would that would beat 1.8 non stabilized?

I found a fix in photo shop with the healing brush that is simple. After choosing it switch from normal to darken. Alt click and choose a non shiny spot near the shine. Then brush over the shine. It won't darken any farther than your selected area. That won't improve your future shots but will help you for now.

I need some help deciding. I have a crop Nikon now (D3400 and D3100) and am pursuing more photography. Second shooter at weddings and many event shoots (Sci-Fi Conventions). Where I feel better equipment will help my shots is low light ie. audiences, receptions where flash is not always an option. I'm saving and budgeted (in a few months) less than $1000. This can get me a used D610 body maybe D750 or a Sigma 50-100 1.8 for crop cameras. Noise is my concern so am I better off with the body or lens. De-noise programs are much better than in the past so the lens? Body so there is less noise to begin with? Lenses I have now are 50mm 1.8, kit 18-55, kit 70-300, 85mm1.8 (manual focus), Tamron 18-200mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC. 99% of shots will be for social media situations. Thanks for your input.

I agree very nice. I like the tonality. A longer lens may help so the hands look smaller in proportion to the face, but really nice none the less.

You need to know how you are using the photos. If they are just being shared on social media a little noise won't ruin the moment. If you are expecting to do large prints or photo books I suggest using flash.

Because life is busy and people lose focus of whats important. Photography can remind people of the beauty in the world. I need that reminder and if any of my pics touches someone all the better.

I heard it was robbed. When they caught the guy he said "It was a whisk worth taking"

I inherited my Great Uncles photo album from 1929-31. He lived in South Dakota. I think he needed to expose this longer to get all of the faces. Like twenty more years.

I read a photo magazine in the 80's about making your own cleaning solution. It stated 1 part Isopropyl alcohol to one part distilled water. Being an optician I have learned since then this is not great for coatings. To strong of an alcohol will "dry" out the coatings making them brittle and easy to scratch. Straight alcohol is worse. I have found 1 part Isopropyl to 4 parts distilled water works well. The water does the cleaning and the alcohol helps with drying the water quickly so it doesn't leave streaks or water spots.
