Welcome board Julie. Ask questions and post images is a great way to learn. You tube is helpful also.

I have messed with The D5500. Love taking pics and wanted to upgrade. Couldnt decide between the Z6 or The D750. I liked the mirrorless and heard good things about the 750. My daughter asked me to take her sr pics so i wanted to get a good camera to do it with.

Welcome to UHH Julie. Another good website to check out is Photography Life ( https://photographylife.com/ ).

They have recently put courses on YouTube for free that they used to charge for.

Have fun, post photos, ask questions if you need help.

Hi Julie, welcome to UHH. For someone new to photography, you have an enormous amount of camera equipment. My suggestion to you is to use one of the cameras and one of the lenses for about 6 months. Then when you see what you can do, change to another lens for the same amount of time. Even longer if you can. In that way, you will see what each can do, and what your limitations and also exercising your imagination.
Good luck, and I am looking forward to seeing some of your images here.
Rich...
