I'm Gideon144, and I need lots of help. I think I'm smart, which probably means I'm really not smart. With all my newness, i'm almost 70 years old. I always wanted to be a photographer. Hope you can help make my venture successful. I am considering investing in a Nikon 750 before I loose liveable income. I have a nikon with a couple good lenses that might be usable. From the reviews it sounds like the 750 is a good entry pro camera. Thanks in advance to you all.

Welcome to UHH, Gideon. The 750 would be a great camera with which to enter this medium.

Hi and welcome to the Hog. You say you have a Nikon already, but which one and what lenses do you have to go with it? Knowing that will help get you better informed advice.
Nikon is running a promotion on the D750 right now, but the value of savings are not as good as they were last November (body for $1800, or kitted with the 24-120mm f/4 lens for $2300, vs $1500 or kit $2000 last November). There is still speculation about when the replacement for the 4 year old D750 will come (if ever), or will Nikon offer a mirrorless model. No one outside of Nikon knows, and they are not talking. I wondered last November if the D750 sale was in anticipation of the release of a newer version of the mid level full frame dSLR, but with the sales of the new D850 still going strong, the release of a "D760" would cut into D850 sales.

Welcome to UHH. Nikon 750 is a very good camera. Hopefully those “other lenses” you have are not DX lenses.
