The wrong camera is the thing that prohibits most photographers from reaching their full potential.

Thank you for your feedback. I'm always doing my research and value feedback that will help us make an educated choice. My wife and I love to create and capture and although our step into a more vast and colorful family in a gorgeous and mysterious world has been more a running jump. We have never felt so supported in this choice. We were blessed through a contact an Amazing and experienced gentleman with a newly refurbished D750 from Nikon w/Nikon warranty and hes giving me a choice of Nikon accessories and time with him to learn how to properly operate and to get started enjoying the world through a different lense. We go get it tomorrow. Thanks to all for your help.

Thank you for your encouragement. I take everything I get into very serious so I go full force and head first, but with eyes wide open (learned to keep eyes open through life experience)

That's great. Remember that you will want to get full frame lenses now. If you have DX lenses now, you can use them but you'll end up with a 10 megapixel camera.

The biggest issue I see here is use of the word "investment". Everything said here is probably true, but you need to understand that this is not like a normal "investment" - I know a guy who purchased a D5600 a year or two ago, and then turned around and traded it in on a Z6. I'm not privy to his private financials, but I suspect that he "lost money" on the deal. Almost any expenditure of this sort will result in your getting less money back than you put into it. As long as you are satisfied with those terms, everything else said holds.

He lost more than that. I use my D5600 about five times as much as my Z6. The dust magnet Z6 ticks me off.

I purchased my D5600 from Cameta. Web site been down since Dec.
I bought with 18-140mm & 70-300mm lenses. Both are VR versions.
Be careful with the bundled kits, A lot offer the 70-300, but the non-VR version.
The D7500 is a better camera. If I had it to do over, I'd go for the D7500.

D5600 is not weather sealed, about the only bad thing I have to say for the camera.
Google D5600 / D7500 for comparisons of the two camera's
I also bought as a kit with a bunch of things thrown in. Bunch of stuff which I don't use much, except for the camera bag and an extra third party battery.
Love the 18-140 lens, it's on my camera most of the time.
Not using the 70-300 much, as I acquired a Sigma 100-400 off of eBay.

Check out Steve Perry's books on the Nikon - at his backcountry web site. Well worth the low price - only available as PDFs
