Hi All,
I see such great pics on this forum. They are amazing. Many that post do not show what gear they are using, but some do and a majority look like they are using Canon equipment. I rather not switch, for I have a fair amount invested in Nikon.
Now, the long saga, hope you bare with me.
For lenses, I have the Tamron 70-300, 150-600 and a Nikon 18-140 DX kit lense. Of course I use my 150-600 99.9% of time. I am also contemplating getting a nikon 80-400 af-s g with maybe a 1.4 converter as well.
Been using a D7100 for a while now (10 months but been having issues with it, been to repair 2 times now, just got it back. Though when it's working good, I do like the pics from it, though my keeper rate is not that high, LMO) and I did get a D750 about a week ago but to be honest I am not that thrilled what I see out of it, though I am sure a lot has to do that I have not used it much (about 800 shots) and when I have, it's been for BIF shots. I am just not getting the wow factor, nor the tracking that I assumed would be somewhat better then D7100. I was bouncing around like a grape fruit (yes, crazy analogy - ask my ex-wife... ) on which to get a few weeks ago. But was reading a lot of good stuff on D750 so went for that.
I just don't want to shoot another 8000 pics and then try to return it, I shoot Raw,"Manual Mode", AF-ON, AP-C, different metering modes. Usually not spot weighted though. For AF-area mode: D51, D21, D9 and GF
I have no problem PP shots I like (as long as most don't take more then say 10-15 minutes - not hours)
So, for those that hopefully have both, what are your feelings?
Eventually would like to (hopefully) do more then just BIF's such as landscapes. But my guess is still BIF will be at least 70% or more of what I like to do. As we all know the D750 has a better ISO in low light but everything I read is all over the place with regards to D750 vs D810 (I wish I had money for a D4S). To me, I think I would be keying more on the best pic in "decent" Light as well as AF and tracking. I don't want to carry more then weight then above, so a high end prime will not work that weighs a lot more and cost a lot more, least for now...I'm getting old...
Sorry for the long rant. But wanted to provide info enough for good responses.
Thanks in advance for any feedback.
Chuck
