probably more so the mediocre lenses

yes, I have just started looking at these too... paralysis by analysis

but apparently worthy of your time...perhaps someone would say "I'm getting great images out of my D500 and don't know that a FF sensor would be that much better" or "the fast and accurate autofocus of the D500 results in a higher keeper rate" or "the D750 is worth the clumsier body because of the tremendous sensor" or "when I shoot the D500 like a machine gun I have way too many pictures to edit so I find I don't use it"

jeeshe

Opinions wanted: torn between the two. I want the super fast autofocus. build, and button layout of the D500 with the full frame sensor of the D750.

Which did/would you choose and why?

Thanks - probably a subject that's been beaten to death.

That's a great deal. $1000 cheaper than the D500.

I guess you win.

But you have to be you so it's a Pyrrhic victory at best.

Really?

If mom catches you using her computer to be a smartass on UH, she'll take it away.

Not if you buy the Nikon first!

I try to stay away from B&H because of their terrible labor practices.

I'll take one!

Sometimes you need the gear to get the shot but often we have what we need. Yesterday, at dusk and beyond, I saw a lot of people with entry level cameras and kit lenses trying to shoot fireworks, portraits and candids (without tripods). You could see their reactions when reviewing the shot they weren't happy.

There is nothing wrong with entry level DSLR's. For most of the day, they were taking fabulous pictures but not at night. Here's the kicker. It had rained so I decided not to take my big boy camera and lens. (I know and I have a weather proof bag...) The golden light was beautiful and there were a few rainbows. I had nothing. I guess where I'm going with this is that the basic equipment will be fantastic in most conditions. The higher-end stuff is needed sometimes...but only if you bring it.

I gave up Nikon for mirrorless. I did not like how the cameras functioned. I tried both Olympus and Fuji XE-1. I was able to sell them before they bottomed out and am slowly returning to Nikon. I use a D7100 and the 17-55 2.8. It is not light but I'm happier. It's the old "It's not you, it's me" defense.

I have my x100 for when I want to travel light.

Hey!

I think I can help. I got these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00TRDVGUO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. So far, I have used three of them. No problems as far as I can see. I'll order them again, no problem.

Also, just to let you know, the 13x19 paper is not on sale after June 30th so grab it while you can.

Sony Rx-1 if you want to spend the money.
