(Singing...badly) Que Sera Sera, will it be cloudy? Will it be bright? Whatever will be will be...

With the most sincere respect, I think UHH members have gone totally nuts preparing for an event where the so-called "totality" will last just a few minutes tho the "waxing/waning" will be a bit longer. Numerous professional scientists will be recording images with extremely high grade cameras and telescopes, and those images will be published in every way possible around the world. /Ralph

I had my d750 serviced by Nikon in Melville NY, not being to far from my home I dropped it off there. One week later a Nikon tech call and said my camera was ready to pick up. I had asked him how many shutter activation he told me around 12,000, I asked if the shutter activations could be reset to zero, the response of THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION, kind of startled me. he just told me to subtract 12,000 off the count.

But all in all camera was updated and everything seems to be working perfectly.

Over all a good experience.

Rohn...I was shooting yesterday with a Canon 1D X and my old faithful Canon EF 400mm f/5.6L lens. It's still the cheapest L series long distance telephoto lens on the market. I also use a Canon 7DII, but I find myself preferring the full frame cameras over the crop factor APS-C sensor 7DII. Don't get me wrong, I still use the 7DII a lot and would recommend it in a heart beat. Crop factor cameras like the 7DII do give you more long distance magnification. For example, the 400 mm lens on my 1D X give me 8X magnification, whereas my 7DII having a crop factor, gives me a magnification of 12.8X using the same 400mm lens. That is quite a significant difference between the two cameras. But when you consider image quality, the full frame 1D X is somewhat better in my opinion. Both cameras are used by very well know bird and wildlife photographers, and both do a great job.
