Today I headed out with the D7200 to Fenn Pond, Middlebury, CT along RT 64 at Charcoal Avenue. This mission was to capture 'reflections'
in the pond. I think I accomplished what I set out to do. There are no PP yet. I do have RAW files and will do some PP with the Zoner
Studio PP software.

Thanks for visiting, sit back and enjoy.

I have 2 Nikon d-80 from way back. I use one as a second camera and the wife uses the other on full auto. I upgraded to FX with the D600 when it came out. After two sensor cleanings and a shutter replacements, Nikon USA replaced it with my current 610. I would like better low light results. Native iso is only 6400 and perhaps 3000 is my limit with acceptable noise. Higher frames per second would be nice for airshows, car races and birds in flight. My 24.3 Megapixel is adequate but a higher mgpxl could be nice for cropping.

My glass consists of: Nikkor 17-35mm 2.8 D, Nikkor 50mm 1.8 D, Nikkor 60mm 2.8 G Micro, Nikkor 70-200mm 2.8 G II VR , Nikkor 300mm 2.8G II VR, Nikon AF-S TeleconverterTC-20EIII along with a few DX lens for the d80's

Bodies I am considering: 750 but not much of improvement over 610.. I pick up 1 stop on the iso, same fps 6, more focus points 51 but I tend to use single. Expeed 4
Down side old body and I understand it's on its 3rd recall. Price is cheap. $1500.

D810 much like the 750 but 36 Mgpxl, older than the D750. They are still selling them but not on the Nikon USA web page under FX cameras. $2800.

The D850 and the D500 look like sweethearts.. All I hear is good things about the 850 except the wait time to get one. It's a tad more than I want to spend. Good low end iso at 64 but only 25,600 on the high end. fps is only 7 and with the battery pack 9fps. The D500 also looks sweet with features better than the 850 - iso 100-51200 , higher fps 10. Down side is its a DX.. That would help with the field of view with the long glass but I would then need a great DX wide angle zoom. The D500 for all you get is cheap also at $1900. Both have exceed 5

Numerous sources, big box stores in Ny , Nikon USA other blogs and here have guessed at the wait time for the D850 between a week to 12 weeks or even longer....

Sooo What say you? Bite the bullit for the 850, settle for the 500 or pick up an older body???
