I agree with the comment above. If it’s the D750 you really want, I would take another look at current prices for the D750 before grabbing this D610. Prices on the D750 have come down a lot in the last 4 weeks.
Both are very capable, mid-range FF DSLRs, but the D750 has a clear edge over the D610. Either way, I think you’ll be happy with a FF DSLR.
I have all three of those Ansel Adams books, and no co-author is listed for any of them.
Generally, on the sale of any used camera equipment, assuming it is in good/excellent condition, if you can recover 50% of the value that the item currently sells for, I think that's considered to be pretty good. The market for serious amateur/professional camera equipment is shrinking, so sometimes it's difficult to get even 50% on used equipment.

I'd go with the D850, you already have full-frame "F" glass, and the capabilities of the D850 are incredible.
I agree with this. The D850 gives you a significant step up in features and capabilities while still allowing you to use the F-mount lenses you’ve already invested in. There’s a reason that DSLR sales still outpace mirrorless sales . . .
Why not a Ninja V recording monitor to use with your DSLR? Cheaper than most camcorders, has more features than many camcorders, and you can make use of the DSLR and lenses you already have.
Take a look at www.atomos.com — they manufacture the Ninja V. And I can tell you from experience it works great on the D850.
One of my worries is that my wife may someday find a way to figure out how much money I've spent at B&H over the years! ;-) One of the best on-line retailers out there. I'm not Jewish, but I've always respected the fact that they won't take orders during the Jewish Sabbath or holidays. Seems like not many commercial enterprises put their beliefs and principles ahead of their business interests these days.

I ask though for legacy and to be remembered by what will later generations really care about?
Which will really be cared about 100 years from now and be our legacy?
Think about it.
This is an excellent point. If I'm not careful, I find I spend more time scanning and restoring old family photos (Silverfast is a great tool!) than I do taking new images -- several of those old photos have become prized family possessions with my brother and sisters. Just be sure that you're continuing to add to the family archives . . . future generations will thank you!
