Controlling much??? Who the hell are you to even think for a nano second that you have the power to tell someone to think the way you do? No matter what your reasons, he has already purchased the camera. Your comment was not only rude but stupid. I am assuming here that you are thinking he should have purchased something like a newer mirrorless camera, something along those lines anyway.

I have been purchasing cameras since I was about 13 years old. New cameras have come and gone. The mirrorless cameras are the hot new topic right now but I will never buy one. You and others can tell me they are better but nobody has ever shown they take better photographs. Yes, they may be lighter in weight but even at 73 I am not bothered by the weight. Many other people are not bothered by the weight either. I love DSLR's and have no desire to go to something different. You may like some newer system but you people that continue telling us that mirrorless is the way to go are basically just spouting your own desires. You like it then you continue buying it. But to tell us it is better in any way is a bit presumptuous in every sense of the word.

My main problem with your last sentence is that the OP had already purchased the D750. He did not ask for advice on what camera to purchase. If he had then your comment might have been appropriate. But since he already has the camera it is totally rude for you to, now, bring up dying technology. That is my point. Why make him feel bad that he did not buy something you like, something you would have purchased you. He didn't ask you for your opinion on the camera, just asked for some tips on operating the camera he already purchased. If you can't understand how that is rude then I have absolutely no advice for you. You should have listened to your parents about using common sense and treating people with respect.

My pastor is an attractive woman that looks half her age and next to the Catholic Church has the largest congregation and church attendance in our community. She is the mother of five and a grandmother of three. Some of us think our increase in attendance is because she has probably the finest sermon and looks like a total 10 in a dress. She spends about 50 hours a week doing the work of the church, volunteers at the food pantry and reads to the children at the library on Saturday's. For all of this they pay her well.

She drives a Mustang GT, has purple hair.

She is probably packing a pistol anytime you see her, even while preaching. She once said in an exaggerated way "I'll be damned if anyone is coming into my church and shooting the place up." We all got the humor. And since most of the people in church have guns they are okay with it. The church is an open carry/conceal carry friendly church.

When you visit her house she is likely to offer you some Mike's hard lemonade and home made apple pie. If her husband is home you may find yourself sitting on the front porch drinking some Tennessee Honey or Apple Pie moonshine. She is down to earth and never acts like she is too good or "holier than thou."

When I introduced myself to the Catholic Priest and mentioned her, he said without hesitation, "She is a lover of God."

When I think of all of this I truly feel blessed to have her as my pastor, but even more so, to have her as my wife.

What is your pastor like?

My wife and I went for our 25th anniversary in September 2015 and stayed here -- www.dimoradelpodesta.it

Sorry about the links. I guess UHH doesn't allow shortened URLs.
