I shoot a D750 for 90%, but when i need more reach like for wildlife or sports I switch to a DX crop sensor (D7000 or D5500). Well worth it. A crop sensor is likean automatic 1.5x teleconverter without the extra glass to cause loss if IQ.

It would be really nice if you would keep your political viewpoint off the forum. Thank you.

The last fall I took a 3 year old stepped in front of me. I was so worried about landing on him I didn't think of myself or my camera. My face hit first (6 stitches and lots of swelling), the camera (D750) hit hard breaking the mode dial and cracking the outer covering, and my 24-120 came apart. But the 3 year old was fine and got to ride in an ambulance! The camera probably wouldn't have fared any better in a CC.

This is what I mean. In the first pic the balloons stand out and distract from the woman (I'm not claiming this is great street photography, just an example). In the second she stands out more.

There are times when color is a distraction to the subject/story. I often shoot street in color, but sometimes making it B&W will make the subject "pop" out of a background that is too busy/colorful. Also in street the story/moment is what is important, so removing distractions can help. I find myself lately using color more than B&W, but there are times B&W really works better.

What does this mean?

From my experience the 1.4x is very good, the 1.7 acceptable but has noticeable loss of IQ (although very slight), the 2x is not very good. As always YMMV.

My Nikon lenses are pretty good, no need for Canon.

My understanding is that you would need a property release if you used it in a commercial or advertisement, but not if you sell it as art. Same for model releases. Many street photographers sell their candid photos as art without model releases. Is a calendar art? I don't know.

Certainly not me. I have images on 500px, Getty Images, a gallery on Etsy and a gallery on Fine Art America. I sold two images on Getty. I made a whopping $ .04 on each. Getty charged at least $50 for them (that is their price for the smallest size), and I made $ .04.

Ricoh GR for street photography and general carry in my pocket APS-C camera.

My family Christmas card this year has three images. Two are good quality images taken with my D750 and Tamron 70-200mm F2.8 G2 of my fiance's son. The third is a grainy iPhone picture taken by his mother of him onstage with my band pretending to play ukulele (he is 3 years old). In the picture he is imitating the moves of our guitar player and is ADORABLE. The picture is poorly lit, very grainy, and technically a very poor picture - but the moment it captures is priceless. Sometimes technical perfection isn't necessary, especially in a family picture.

As far as Ken Rockwell - some of his opinions, like saying that the smallest JPEG image is all you need to take, are laughable. But I have read his reviews for all of the equipment I own that he has reviewed - and his reviews are spot on.

I still have my Canon A1, and it still works.

I didn't get my first good camera until 1978, but then it was a Pentax Spotmatic (Asahi) with 55mm and 100mm lenses. That was a great camera for learning. And it would work (except for the meter) without a battery.

Thank you all for your comments.
