If you have a 10 year old large screen plasma TV, or a 12 year old pentium Windows xp laptop. Work fine and you are happy with them. Do you still want to replace them? Same reasons.

This original post was from a while back. Not much feedback from this site then. Since then I bought the Nikon SB-700 and extremely happy with it.
Good to see that this inexpensive flash is still thriving after 3 years, and getting so many positive reviews.

Yes the lineage of dslr traces to 35mm cameras and inherits the 3x2 aspect (not exact, varies by manufacturer, but close enough). Mirrorless, at 4x3, is better suited for todays wider format. As an example, a 24 mp camera, at 4x3 sensor, yields a maximum of 20.25 mp for 16x9. While the same megapixel camera with 3x2 only yields a maximum of 18mp.

Question is, of course, why the video world moves from square to wide to wider, the photography world is still squarish. Maybe because a circular lens and a wide rectangular sensor do not work well together. Maybe someone here can offer a better explanation.

No one has mentioned it, but the 3x2 aspect ratio is a holdover from film photography--it is what standard 35mm cameras used (image was 36x24mm). The 16x9 format is what a lot of computer monitors have, so it is also quite popular in digital photography. (My church requests I use 16x9 when offering photos for its displays--we have a volunteer group that provides that service.) The 4x5 format is what was needed for making 8x10 prints. And 4x3 is what the early TV screens had.

Thanks for pointing that out Oddjobber. As a Nikon shooter one of my pet peeves is my 6x4 dslr sensor. Since I frequently print at 10x8, and display at 16x9. I always felt 6x4 is a bad starting point for cropping in pp, and I am wasting megapixels. Can you suggest a dslr that has a different and hopefully a better sensor aspect ratio?

And yes it is in camera crop therefore losing mps. I should say prior to cropping in pp.

Sorry, Dylee, but you're wrong on a couple of points. 6x4, or 3x2 aspect ratio is the most common but not the only dslr ratio. There are many 4x3 ratios, mostly point and shoot, and 1x1's. When you shoot 3x2 sensor at a different format, will not be "uncropped" but is cropped in-camera instead of post processing. Yes, the pixel count will be reduced.

All of above are correct. But understand also that all dslr sensors have a 6x4 aspect ratio. Lets say you have a 24mp camera, shooting any other aspect ratios will result in an uncropped image less than 24mp.

For me one of the joys of photography is the continuous process of learning.

And sometimes when I apply my "knowledge" to take a photo, it came up short. That means I don't know what I thought I know. If that makes any sense.

I use the sidekick on a Benro tripod and head, for my Nikon D750 and Sigma 150-600. Easy to carry and no problem whatsoever. But I don't have a full Gimble for comparison.

As others mentioned, you cannot go wrong with either camera. Your selection will be based on your needs.

I upgraded from D7000 to D750 a few years ago. I can tell you my thoughts on that:
1. If you consider photography a serious hobby, and visit sites like UHH often, you will continue to be looking at the DX vs FX debates. Sooner or later you will conclude that you need a FX camera. That thirst will not go away. Now is probably a good time to buy FX over DX, considering the pricing differences.
2. I have been extremely happy with my D750. With a couple of exceptions:
- the D750 is heavier and bulkier than the D7000, and likely the D7500. Together with FX vs DX lenses the weight/size difference is very obvious. If you want to travel light, DX would be better.
- the DX crop factor longer reach is very noticeable through the viewfinder. My 300mm becomes 450. My 150-600 can reach 900. Does make a big difference for wild life and BIF.

I now own a Nikon D3000 and a 1V1(I obviously keep my cameras for a while) and am ready for an upgrade.I am thinking either a D500 or a D750.I already have a sigma 300ml zoom for an FX camera and will buy a kit with lenses for either. Since the cost is not that much different which would serve me better.thanks

Appreciate all your comments. Rubber/Contact cement it will be. Slightly more work than I originally thought but definitely the right way to go. As with Olsonsview, lesson learned is not to take anything for granted shipping and repairing cameras.

Funny you mentioned that Oddjobber. I sent the camera in for shutter replacement 3 months ago in Nikon's last round of recall. Might be it was not glued tight by the technician.

No epoxy. I've read about several D750's going in for shutter replacement and coming back with new rubber. That's because there are screws covered by the rubber that need to be removed to open the body. Epoxy is too permanent.

I have not touched my D750 for a month. Took it out of the camera case yesterday, and to my surprise found out that part of the rubbery skin peeled off. I looked under the skin and saw that two glue spots dried out and unglued. I searched through the Internet and found out that this happened to quite a number of Nikon DSLRs, including the D750. I am planning on getting some epoxy and glue it back.

But before I do that I like to know if this happened to anyone else on this site. If so, how did you fix it. Thanks in advance.

I had the same problem a few months ago. Here's what I find out.
Not all RAW files are the same. In addition, not all Nikon .NEF files are the same. With each new camera, the NEF file format changes. Adobe products use Raw file plug-in's to support all these different RAW formats. To accommodate the ever increasing camera models and Raw formats, there are constantly new versions of plug-ins. Here's the Adobe published Camera Model/Raw/Version cross reference.
https://helpx.adobe.com/camera-raw/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html

Also different versions of PSE/Lightroom supports up to different versions of the plug-ins. Therefore old PSE versions do not support later RAW formats.
