Hello Everyone, My wife is getting back into photography and would love to get a full frame camera. We currently have a D7000. If anyone knows of a good deal for either of these cameras, please let me know. Our budget is pretty tight so really hoping to find a great deal on a used camera. Thanks in Advance!


Check the KEH website. They sell used equipment and offer a warranty as well.

Simply open Safari and type google.com. That should take you directly to Google. Google is an internet site, not a program specific to Microsoft or Apple.

Thanks for the feedback.
It opens another discussion..
I was at a Pow Wow held indoors.
The lighting was VERY low and there was a barrier between the dancers and crowd. No big flashes allowed.
The equipment was a Canon 70D with kit tele lens of 24-135m. Any suggestions on how to make lemonade from lemons in this case is welcomed.
And you are correct my background is abstract art. I tend to capture images "as best l can" then ("over") process them into something l like.. My shortfall also being lack of Photoshop ability...

I am not familiar to what a canon 70d is capable of with ISO, but if it were me, I would test higher ISO settings and use a faster shutter speed. Then try to correct the ISO noise in post processing. Some cameras will not handle higher ISO levels well, so you will need to experiment until you get a photo that you are pleased with. Good luck and remember, practice makes perfect, so keep shooting until you get it the way you like it.

In my opinion, both are over processed and out of focus. I realize there is movement in the photos, but either most of it needed to be in focus, using a faster shutter speed, or at least the face of the child. Bring down the contrast a bit to soften the colors. That being said, you need to make the photo to your taste, you are the one who needs to take the credit, or criticism.

Yes, I knew that, but I expressed the thought incorrectly. For us, the potential cost of the glass we wanted would have been prohibitively expensive in FX format, so we intentionally started in DX, relying on improvements in sensors and bodies to catch us up a bit over the years. Neither my wife nor I have regretted the choice - the D7100 and good Nikon DX glass gives us printable images up to 16x20, and I deal as best I can with low light noise by laborious post processing. I'm quite happy to stay within our budget and I accept the limitations of the DX format.

The D7100 is a great camera, but if you were waiting for a Nikon DX to improve on their sensors, check out the D500. It is a bit expensive, but nowhere close to it's big brother the D5, but the quality has definitely caught up to a full frame body.

If you would remove just a hair of the haze in the second one, I would choose that one. It seems to have a bit more depth. definitely not the first one, sorry. The third one is cropped a bit too tight in my opinion. A nice capture and composition on the second one.

I had understood that using the crop mode on any full frame camera gives you fewer usable pixels and a lower IQ than using a crop sensor body of the same generation. So you lose all of the advantages of full frame (except possibly low light performance) and don't gain anything. Am I wrong?

Since I entered the digital world, I've always been advised to use APS lenses on APS bodies and full frame lenses on full frame bodies.

I've "learned" many things in my lifetime that have proven to be wrong. But am I wrong on this one?

You are correct in losing pixels and photo quality using dx lenses on a fx body. The camera may be set to dx mode, then you may use a dx lens, but you will sacrifice photo quality, in my opinion, and you will lose about 1/2 the pixels in most situations. You are incorrect in not being able to use fx lenses on dx bodies, they will work fine. Some lenses, such as the Nikon 200/500mm lens is a full frame lens, but works just as well on a dx body, without losing any quality. I often suggest that when a person is starting out in photography, and can only justify the cost of a less expensive dx camera until the are sure they want to dive in, to buy the camera, but as they upgrade their lenses, only buy fx lenses in case they ever decide to upgrade to a fx camera.

Anyway the people of UHH could share images using there d750? Im still on the fence. I was prepared to pick up the d7500 cause i had the funds. Now being recommended to buy 2 different cameras but funds are higher and making me think im gonna make the wrong choice and regret it.


Either camera body will produce great photos, assuming the photographer has learned to use the camera and has taken the time to practice and perfect their hobby. The d7500 is about 1146.95 and the d750 is about 1296.95. Not that much difference in price, so it would depend on what you prefer to shoot. If you are shooting landscapes, portraits, and stills, the d750 would be my choice. If you are shooting wildlife and sports, a lot of people like the cropped frame sensor of the d7500 for more reach with your lenses. Which ever one you purchase, try to buy full frame lenses, that way you will not need to reinvest in lenses if you should ever decide to go with a full frame body. Good luck with whichever you choose.

I shoot mostly Wildlife (birds). I'm looking to step up to a nikon d-500 and a telephoto lens. My budget could fit a tamron 150-600 G2. The specs on the lens says full frame format. The d500 is a crop sensor and i'm wondering if I am making the right choice on this combo. Any help? Thanks


Personally, I prefer the Nikon 200-500, but that is a personal choice, and the tamron or sigma are both fine lenses as well. Do not be concerned about the cropped frame body and full frame lens, they work very well together, I usually recommend full frame lenses when you purchase a lens, in case you ever upgrade to a full frame camera, all your lenses will work. As to price, check out KEH for used lenses at a slightly lower price. They usually warrant their used equipment, and they are very reliable as a resource for used equipment. B&H Photo sells used equipment as well. You will find that most used lenses are in great condition.

But why is it gray? I buy from an authorized dealer in Japan.


Million dollar question. The cameras are all made by the same Chinese factory. Nikon, while I think it is a great camera, is narrow minded when it comes to repairs. The parts and repairs are the same, no matter where it is sold, but Nikon will not work on cameras or lenses that were originally sold in another country. Stupid.
Just my opinion.
And my rant.
