Sony a7III and a converter from Nikon to E mount, that's the way I went from Canon or wait for the a7IV , the a7III's are at a really nice price for what you get .

I disagree shooting Raw or jpeg has nothing to do with how good of a photographer you are.
Raw just allows you to easier manipulate the picture how you want it to look in post by using your knowledge and ability in your editing software to create the final product .
Taking your camera out of Auto and knowing why you are going to put the exposure settings where you are , Will make you a better photographer

Nothing at all for me I shoot Raw to one card and medium-sized jpeg to the other (in winter quite often mono ) to the other the than download both together delete what I don't like and tag the rest.
Than all the remaining Raw files are backed up to 2 seperate hard driveswith original copies being kept on my laptop where I can work with them more the jpegs are usually for social media.and the RAWsare for serious work

I also have gifted a few and have sent some to friends who have seen one they really like on Facebook .My wife makes a calendar every year and gives them out to her staff and to family/friends at Christmas

My parents recently entered a Assisted Living Senior Complex and have to get board approval and hire the maintenance guy to even hang a picture. I have made peel and stick prints, even poster size for them, no wall damage what so ever . I have pics stuck to the walls of 7 different apartments (my mom is my photo pimp)

It is a bit of an Ego Booster that something I did is truly liked by others because I am much more critical when I look at it

My suggestion would also be to use a tripod
I have also enjoyed using both the Tamron 16 to 300 and the 18-400mm as walk around,travel lens for my crop sensor Canon the 18-400mm is on my 7D2 99% of the time since I added the Sony a7iii to my arsenal .

Also if your camera allows it ,fine tune the autofocus

The Tamron 18-400mm is my favourite travel walk around lens and is on my Canon 7D2 99% of the time when I am just wandering around

I have had luck with distilled water and a Qtip on the front element , dampen the Qtip ,not spraying the glass and than a swirling /circular motion from the center out . finish with a bulb blower

If you go to the Benq website you can get a deal on a refurbished, I have bought 2 in the last year that way with no problems

It is an excellent lens outstanding image quality . one of my favorite features was the short focus distance . It even worked well adapted to my Sony a7III (AF was slow though) On my Canon 7DII I never had a complaint Save some $$$ get a used one.

He's also appointed more women to higher levels than Obummer did , most of those comments could have also been about a man

Why not just shoot in jpg ?

I would go with 32 if I could but if you do go 16 make sure you can upgrade the RAM some of the makers are soldering the ram onto the board making it not upgradable, at least that's what I was told about my HP Envy

I really enjoy the Tamron 18-400 as my travel lens the 16-300 was also a nice walk around lens . I would suggest calibration to the camera if it allows it

I thought the question was weather or not to toss the other card that came in the 2 pack when he bought it , Yes the cardswere most likely from the sam batch. Toos both

Because no lens and no camera are 100% identical at sub millimeter spec . There is always a tolerance, that the part has to fall within. When you match up parts say the lens and the body the difference in tolerance can be magnified. Micro adjustment corrects that or at least makes it less noticeable.
I know on my 7Dmk2 the calibration was a big change on the Tamron 18-400 and minor on the Canon 100-400 the first time but over the last 3 years I have only made minor adjustments to both as the body and lenses both get bumped around a lot hiking on a shoulder strap or floor of the truck.
After the first time or 2 using FoCal was quick for long lenses I got lucky and my boss allows me to use our training room which allows for proper distance indoors
