Wait until the is a new function available that will make a difference in your workflow. I wanted to explore bracketing, but my Nikon D60 would not support, so I moved up to the D7100. I realized that a Dx camera was hindering my ability to take amazing landscape shots, so I upgraded to a D810. Ask them what type of photography they do, and more importantly, what they want to achieve. Then choose to upgrade.
What about a Dx camera hinders your ability in landscape photography? I have a D7100 and am curious as to what advantages the D810 might have with respect to landscapes? Thanks for any input you might provide!

Read the manual...all of it! I know, boring, boring, boring, but...knowledge of your camera will free you to quit thinking so much about settings and concentrate more on your subjects. And I agree - YouTube is a wonderful resource and I use it extensively.

I take photographs because it is good for my soul, I'm outdoors, I look at things in new and fresh ways when I'm shooting, and when I capture that one amazing, timeless shot, I feel a sense of awe and wonder, much like magic. Other than that, it just makes me feel good!

I wholeheartedly agree - Thanks for your service on that "vacation" to Vietnam. We can never repay the debt we owe to our service men and women who gave it all so that we could be free to go out and take pictures!

BHC - absolutely correct! Sometimes the best shots are the serendipities that happen when you least expect them, so go out and shoot it all. Hey, it's digital! You can always erase the bad ones and it's FREE!

My mantra is, "This is what I see...do you like it?" From unvarnished straight-out-of-the-camera images to heavily processed artistic interpretations, everything can be a valid expression of the photographer's art. One is not better than the other, they are just different, and each can be magnificent in its own right.

Why the hostility? Isn't this supposed to be a forum to ask those with greater experience how they might proceed on a certain issue? Geez, if you have to dis someone for asking for an opinion, maybe you should get a life or something.

The National Bison Range is a "must see" for landscape and animal photog. Also, be on the lookout for old barns, mines, and other historical sites of interest all along the way. Flathead Lake has some beautiful scenes, but the eastern side has very few turnouts to use off of Hwy 35, so be aware. Try to use the State Park sites such as Finley Point, Yellow Bay, Woods Bay and Wayfarers. Welcome to the Last Best Place - Montana, and happy shooting!
