I've just downloaded Steve Perry 's book on wildlife photography and he recommends an app for photography planning. After a little searching I found two apps, PhotoPills and Planit. I'm wondering if many users have one of these apps and what they think of it (them). Cost is about $10 which would be a bargain if the apps are useful. Appreciate your opinions. Thanks in advance.


Hello

I use PhotoPills. It is worth it. I use it to plan my sunrise and sunset and for astrophotography. I was going to the Caribbean in November and I discovered that there will be a full moon that weekend.

It come down to price, body only D7500 is going to $700 and the D500 for $1,300 (rounding up). The D500 is a better camera, but you got to determine wha is in your budget.

I am glad I wasn't the only one disappointed. I was in Oriental, NC and the skies were clear. I did see a few meteors, but there wasn't a meteor shower. The area I was in had a dark sky and looking in the right direction and time, but I was disappointed.

Couldn’t be happier with my D7500.


I agree. My Nikon D7100 broke over the summer and wanted a new camera. I think one for the reasons the D7500 got a bad review was because of the single card reader. I was looking at D500 and D750 during the holidays and my wife (the boss) said NO! In February (before all the closing and shutdown), I purchase a D7500 at the local camera store in Greenville NC. I love it. I was a good. If the would had let me purchase a camera on Black Friday, I would had gotten the D750, because it marked down to $950, but that shop had sail and glad and satisfy with the D7500. It's good camera. It has the processors as the D500. I think the D7500 is good camera.

I have had good luck with this place. They give you a bid from your description of the equipment. They provide a shipping label and once acceting the equipment they transfer the miney into your account. After checking prices, thier bids were fair. E Bay can charge hefty fees for selling.

I checked the website randomly selected D750 and it looks there are deals for Nikon D750 at Nikon and Best Buy, not that I am getting Nikon D750. I will have to check them out for trading in. Thanks!

Sounds like car mechanics. "If I find something else, it will cost more." They usually find more.


Great information! Thanks

Check ebay to see what they are selling for. And, call Nikon and find out what a new LCD screen will cost to put in, subtract that from the prices you find on ebay and determine if it is worth it.


The LCD is not crack, it stop working. I already checked into how much it will cost to replace, and from Nikon in Atlanta $300 plus. I am not sure if it is worth fixing. There was company in LA that would do it from around $200, and that doesn't include if they found something else.

Thanks for the input.

Would you be getting an FX or DX model? That 50mm is an FX lens whereas the other is a DX. If you get a DX model, keep both, if you get an FX version, I'd keep the 50mm. Just my 2 cents. As for the camera with the broken LCD screen, I have no suggestions...It's not likely that you would get much for it. It may be better to sell it on eBay as a "parts" camera...


Hello Scott,

Thanks for the input. Unfortunately my wife wants me to sell off my equipment before getting a new camera. I told her I would not get much the D7100, but you can not argue with a stubborn woman.

Thanks!

I am thinking about trading in my Nikon D7100, with a broken LCD screen, and getting a new camera. What do you think is the best to sell the old camera? and How much do you think the D7100 with broken LCD is worth?
I also have two Nikon Lenses in very good conditions:
Nikon AF-S Nikkor 50mm 1:1.8 G
and
Nikon DX AF-S Nikkor 55-300mm1:4.5-5.6 GED VR.

Appreciate any input.

the D500 is also same format DX as your D7100. no math of crop factor to think about. I dont think anyone mentioned this yet. just my $0.01. :-)


I think someone did mention the D500 and it is on my radar. Unless the Olympus come down in price, with the two lenses I already have, I just need the body for the D7500 or D500. I am going to wait and see if the D500 comes down. I also heard the Nikon is coming out with D7600 in the 1st quarter of 2020, so maybe the D7500 will come down further too.
