I was hoping for the D750 camera to come down in price after they came out with a new one, not a chance, they keep their prices firm and make sellers abide by their prices, so don't hold your breath.

You should get a new Nikon D5 with dual XQD slots.

I'm rich because I don't throw money away. D5 , heck even the D850 is more than what I need. D750 will do just fine if I ever get it, it has to come down in price before I can justify buying one. I looked at the new one, the technology used is geared for video, as far a still photography there is no real advantage over the 750. My neighbor has a 750, he is a professional photographer, semi-retired, I've seen some of his work with it.

That sucks I like Nikon scopes they are relatively cheap and clear, I pretty much only have them on my rifles except a bsa and some other one on a little pea shooter.

Many years ago I shot weddings then I did some modeling work with my brother in law, then I gave it up for a long time. Eventually the bug bit me again, but this time everything was digital. My last film pictures I took back in 2005 after replacing the seals on my Nikon F3, then one of my sons said he'd like to keep the film equipment so he has it all. A Nikon F-3, A twin lens Rolleiflex medium format, flash, lenses, filters even the bag.
