The attached file is a TIFF. I was careful to use the exact same settings on the D600 as I had on the D750. I also cannot find any other photos taken with the D750 that show this effect.

My very well traveled workhorse Nikon D750 took some very nice pics of the super moon except around the edges. Photo attached. The next night I took some photos using the same lens but with a Nikon D600. No weird edges. Has anyone seen anything like this? Have any idea what it is and what to do about it?

I think this is likely. I've been surprised at how much they've gotten out of cell phones and expect them to continue to advance, but it's hard to overcome physics. A sensor smaller than my fingertip with a slightly larger plastic lens. I mean absolutely phenomenal what they have done with that but I can't see how that ever beats or matches a full frame sensor with a multi element glass lens attached. I embrace new technology. I saw mirroless replacing DSLR's almost a decade ago, and bring on the AI. But physics is tough to beat. I found that out while I was young and managed to survive my experiments to prove it wrong. Happily the failure of those experiments didn't kill me.

Went to Europe with spring with a Nikon D750, also from 2014. Admittedly that camera was very advanced for its time but it is now a bit dated. My Google Pixel 7 takes excellent photos but at the end of the day, it's still not up to the D750. Yes, the Pixel is delightfully convenient and yes it takes remarkable photos for its size but if I really want to get the best photo, I'm reaching for the nearly 10 year old D750.

One would think so but Sony operates their different divisions as isolated silos. It's remarkable how little sharing goes on between the divisions. So while their cell phone division works on upping computational photography to compete with Google, Samsung and Apple, what they develop isn't being incorporated into their mirrorless cameras. It's a shame because marrying these two technological paradigms would catapult Sony even farther beyond Nikon and Canon. Imagine if you could hand hold your full frame mirrorless camera the way Google's Nightsight allows you to handhold a cellphone in low light. Or if you could automatically focus stack in camera. Etc and etc.

Wish I could avoid changing lenses outdoors. I mostly do but when I'm hiking I only carry one body so if I need to change the lens, the best I can do is try to shelter the operation. But the results are clear. Outdoor lens changes are the culprit!

I've never attempted to clean my sensors. But now with so few camera shops, there's no place to take a camera for cleaning. I'm terrified to do this for fear I'll damage my sensor. But I'm thinking this probably isn't that hard. Suggestions please.

I very much empathize with this decision but I made a different one. My first inclination was to take the best small lightweight camera I have, which is a Sony NEX6. But then I realized that if I am going someplace that I might never return to, shouldn't I be taking pictures with my best camera? And that is what I settled on. Walking up and down the hills of Lisbon with a Nikon D750 and a zoom lens did create some stress on my 72 year old back, but it was definitely worth it. I plan to continue to travel that way, inconvenient though it is.

I have found that a tripod is a bit too much and sometimes a problem as many venues won't let you bring them in. So, kick up the ISO and shoot at a fast enough shutter speed to deal with camera shake. It works well enough though it makes me wonder if a newer camera that handles noise better is in my near future. :)

By your way of thinking, the tool makes the photographer and anyone can buy skills just by throwing money at equipment.

Agree. When I have researched switching from my D750 to a newer Z camera, the weight actually favored keeping the old camera, which so far I continue to do. And while I'm completely unwilling to switch systems, I am envious of how lightweight the Canon R cameras are. The R5 comes in at 26 ounces, only slightly more than the 25 ounce Z6ii and noticeably less than the comparable Z8. And before anyone points out how much more capable the Z8 is, it's also a few years newer than the R5. Not willing to fork out the money to change systems, or engage in the learning curve of a new system, but really hoping Nikon finds ways to make these new cameras lighter. They used carbon fiber in the D750 which made it one of their lightest full frame DSLRs. Come on Nikon, lighten up! :)

BTW, when this happened to me it was the same as you describe. When I was shooting I checked some photos along the way and they were there and being recorded, but when I dumped the card, nothing, and when I put it back in the camera, nothing. The card reader had corrupted the card, but the files were still there. It just took a bit of work to get to them and get them into my computer. Recuva was a good starting place. It was able to show that the files were still on the card.

I had a similar experience and like Dave, Colorado Springs, I found out it was the card reader. Upgraded to a more expensive one from B&H, problem solved. Recovering the photos is sometimes easy sometimes not. Recuva works in a lot of cases. And thanks for reminding me why I will never shoot without 2 card slots again - ever!
