Second Camera
Nov 26, 2015 15:33:24 #
You can go with what you already have, or you can get something which has capabilities / features your current camera lacks. The choice is yours. It will be less expensive if you get the same brand / mount, so your new camera, and old one, can use the same lenses, etc. When I upgrade from my DX format Nikon D3300 to an FX format body such as the Nikon D810, I will still be able to use my DX lenses on the FX body, if I want to. I can use the D3300 as a back up, or as a second camera from a different angle, while relying mainly on the D810 for most things. Your choices may vary.

Perhaps there would have been no questions if you had just stated up front that all you want to do is copy what others do. You've made it clear enough that there is no place for anyone capable of thinking for themselves in this thread!
What is wrong with you. You must not read what you type. You were asking the reason I wanted to know I ,I said why do you need to know the reason. I was just asking a question. What the hell are you taking about, copy what others do. You need help.I'm done

Your plan is best. That is what I would do if I needed a second body. This is especially true if you are going to carry both with different lenses mounted. The ease of switching, without the nuisance of having to deal with different camera controls, will be well worth the money. Most people end up keeping their old camera to use a second body when they buy a new one.
exactly what I do.Upgrade and keep the last bought.

Get something that takes the same lenses, but adds capabilities you don't already have.
If I owned a D750 I get either a D810 for higher resolution or a Df for the better high-ISO performance and more pleasing rendering of tone.
For me it would be an easy choice (the Df) as I have no use for more than 12 or 16 megapixels, but only you know what you want to do with it.

I have been thinking of getting a second camera body. I was wondering what others do in this case. Do you get the same one you have or a little less then the one you have.
I have a Nikon D750. I am thinking of getting another D750. Just asking what others that have two or more bodies do.
Thanks for any help

I'd do something similar but backward. I'd buy the next higher model and then make your current D750 the second camera.

I like the idea of either another D750 or a D810 depending upon what your needs are. Only you can decide! I do like the DF, but it handles too differently than the others. IMHO.

Ask yourself if you would like a smaller and more portable camera for travel etc.

I have three full frame bodies: the 700, the 800E, and my favorite a silver Df.

I wouldn't mind having a Df, but it would be quite a bit different than my D4s and D3. Still have a couple of F5s!

I ask a simple question I was thinking of getting and was wondering what others do. Thats it no biggie just was asking a simple questions. Why do I need to give you a reason. Again just a simple question thats it.
I wasn't being a smart ass. Just wondered why that's all? I have several cameras but that is because they are back ups on a shoot. I like to have 2 cameras one with a wide angle lens the other a zoom for candid shots. But I can't figure why someone that is not shooting as a business would want another camera body.

On a trip at some distance and to places to take pictures (nature) a second body can be a life saver. The cost is sometimes very low compared to the cost of travel, food, lodging, and the exertion to reach places to take pictures. For the right scenic, macro, or nature pictures, the second body is worth it.

I'm not sure what you've been advised in the previous five pages, but I would suggest purchasing a crop camera as your second camera, unless you really want a second full frame camera. My first camera was a D7000 and I kept it when I purchased my D800. I keep my Tamron 10-24mm wide angle on the D7000 when on vacation and it limits lens changes. Also, when used with the 28-300mm, it works great when shooting the grandkids b'day parties and sports activities since it will give field of view up to 450mm. That does come in handy.
When shooting sports, your subject will be center frame, so a ff is not needed. A crop camera is perfect for sports.
