My sincere thanks to all of you who have replied, commented, suggested. This has all been very helpful and educational. It's given me a lot more to think about and research before I do anything Thank you!
Thanks, Larry. This discussion has really helped. I’m going to do some more research, especially on the D750. That might be a good option.
Thanks, Haydon. I appreciate your comments and ideas.
Oops, misread that. The price is $1400, and includes a multi battery power pack pack.
Haydon, thanks for those 2 links-very interesting. The D750 might be a good alternative. There is a camera store in Milwaukee selling the D750 (body only)for about $950. I do like my 7200, but need that low light option.
Yes, I always shoot in RAW. And use Lightroom for any post production. But I have yet to upgrade from
Lightroom 6, so if I do go to the D850, I will need to go the LR subscription route because I don’t think my current version supports the D850.
Thanks, DaveO. Appreciate the quick response.
This is my 2nd post, and I have truly gotten to enjoy all the other postings. I look forward to receiving and opening this email every day. So, I need some help/advice. The majority of my photography is shooting grandkids sports and school events and landscapes. I currently use a Nikon D7200, and my lenses are the Sigma 18-35, 1.8; the Tamron 24-70, 2.4; the Tamron 70-200, 2.4; and the Tamron 18-400, 5.6. I also use the Tamron 150-600 at times and the Nikon 105 for macro photography. Typically, when shooting a soccer or baseball game outside, I have great success with either the 24-70 or the 70-200. I can get some really sharp images. On a cloudy day I might have to adjust the ISO a bit, or even go to Auto ISO. But there is almost always enough light outside. However, when I go indoors, it’s a different story. I will shoot in a variety of gyms and trying to freeze movement, at a basketball game for example, is really difficult. And going to a higher ISO for those types of shots just doesn’t give me what I’m looking for. I almost always use a monopod or tripod when I shoot indoors.
The question, then, is: Would I have better results with the Nikon D850? From everything that I have read so far, it seems that the D850 is better designed for the type of indoor photography that I like to do, and landscapes as well. I would really welcome any and all advice. Thanks!
Thanks a ton for your help. Setting on Manual made the difference.
Hello! I'm brand new to Ugly Hedgehog, but sure do like what I've seen so far. I'm having difficulty using a remote flash. I'm using a Nikon 7200 and a Neewer TT560 Speedlite. I think I've made all the correct setups on the camera, and the TT560 does flash. However, the photo is dark, no matter how much power I'm using on the speedlite. Somehow the remote flash and the camera are not syncing properly. When I attach the flash to the hotshoe on the camera, it works fine. Any ideas of what I am doing wrong? Thank you.
