The D750 and the D7100 make a good combination. As for getting the D7200, that's a judgement call. You can sell the D7100 on ebay. Try some comparisons.

Read comparisons and specs, and decide what features are important to you.

Here's what the D7100 has sold for lately.

I have to agree, it is the combination that I currently have and love it.

Let me get this straight: You donate enough clothes & furniture to charity to reduce your tax liability by $800 - $1,000.

Did I read this right?


That would be about 3000 - 4000 worth of stuff at a 25% tax bracket - just saying.

Welcome, do you have a budget in mind? I'd suggest going to a local camera store and start handling different brands and models that feel good to your touch. I prefer Nikon but that is me - there are many good brands to choose such as Nikon canon, sony etc etc. A good thought would be to find a camera that you like and then add a "walking around" lens - a lens that has multiple focal lengths ie 28-105, 18-300. Good luck

I know exactly where you were on Bellows, we rent one of the rental units there every year right on the ocean. Looking forward to seeing more of your posts. Here is one I took with my iPhone back in 2015.

I went to Germany and all I brought is a D750 and 24-120 f4 lens. I recommend you bring the D750 with the 24-70 f2.8 and the 70-200 f2.8 and leave the rest at home, this will save you some weight. Add your flash and you will be okay.


Rob, thank you for the suggestion, think you are right although it would be nice to have the extra 100 of the 28-300 - I know I am giving up the 2.8 for the 3.5 but wouldn't the flash make up for that? I will change lenses in my room (out of the elements) so should work fine. I need that flash for the dark Hall pics, I used it last year for the 30-40' range and it did well.

I know, we stay in the same town and know almost everyone there. When word gets out that we are coming, the Amies are coming, people start to plan when and where we will be eating and the food is great! We too have had visits from the friends we have made over there. One lady that I met has really gone deep into Photography and even gone to a formal Photography school for a year and a half and is about to change her career. I like the weather better in September and October then during Karneval and every other year is Photokina. I stopped the wedding thing years ago and will never again do another one again unless it's in either England or Germany. LOL When I did carry more gear I too would only take what I needed for our day trips that sometimes turned into 2 or 3 days. This year was the first time I ever traveled so light and you know I got all the shots without any problems.

Thanks for the come back, I agree that Sept/Oct are better weather-wise but Karneval is special to the people of this region and it comes during Jan-Mar time frame (it varies with when Lent comes). I went to Munich one year for Octoberfest but did now know anyone there so I did not go back. During the time I go, we have two parades (One for Bad Godesberg and one for Schweinheim), the large party in the Halle,Rosenmontag and probably 5 or 6 nights full of partying with bands and a whole lot of beer consumed (everything is within walking distance or cab so drinking does not cause concern, besides I like beer LOL). It is a nice hotel, you walk out of a side door in the hotel to an attached bar/restaurant so everything is convenient. Remember in Cheers when Norm would walk in the everyone would yell his name? That is how it is for me when they yell my name, really a great feeling!!

Patriot, your travels are to be envied. I'm a fan of traveling light, mostly because of the security gestapo but take what pleases you and have a great time.


Thank you Londonfire

I travel to Germany for a month at a time. In September I took my Canon 7DMKII with a kit lens (18-135) and it covered everything just fine. I like to also take a tripod for night shots but as I was carrying two large canvas prints rolled up in a tube I bought a small Manfrotto tripod in Germany for just under $100.00. I have traveled to Germany and England with a lot more gear, when I had weddings to shoot and it was a hassle. I don't shoot BIF or wildlife over there except for the wildlife that's up close during Ocktober Fest. It was so much more enjoyable this last trip traveling so light, I felt like a tourist but it was in the back of my mind, I don't have any back ups. Take lots of memory cards along with extra batteries and a cable release. I didn't want to stand out in the crowd and I sure didn't want to keep watch on a camera bag while I was shooting. What ever you do, have fun, shoot a lot and drink a beer for me.

As I mentioned on another post, I go to the same hotel for the entire stay (this year about two weeks) so I will not be lugging all the gear all over Germany. I will not be doing any wedding type shoots, just the parade, people in/out of the bar and the party celebration in the large dim lighted hall. Everybody there know me (I am like the token American) so looking like a tourist does now bother me. Some of these people have even visited my home here is the US as they were vacationing here-good stuff. We drink either Kolsch or Pils beer mostly were I go and eat Frikadelles, Spiegeleir, Reibekuchen, Schnitzel, Wurst usw.

Thank you for your reply!
