Making a comeback to photography

[grahamc]

Well after a few years, I have decided to come back.... and WOW things have moved on. Looking for some advice on camera body, plan to stick with Nikon. Which would you choose or which other would you recommend?

D700
D750
D800
D810
D3x

Photos will be cars (static and moving - with challenging light), landscape and macro. I know there are some older bodies in there, but interested on thoughts of how they compare. Previously I have owned D300, D700 and D3. Prefered the lens choices I had with full frame.

Thanks in advance

From those i would go witheither the D750 or D810 for the subjects you mention and intended useage. And welcome back.

For moving cars the D750 all the way, for landscape the D8xx all the way, if you can compromise with a couple of frames a second get the D810 or save the money and get the D750 and put more money towards glass.

Happy to take on suggestions outside of that list.... that was just my starting point

Dont mind the compromise on a few FPS and more money towards glass sounds good. The D750 does sound like a very good option...

I wouldn't bother, comebacks are rarely successful
I'd like a 750 but I'm skint

D750 and money towards glass, the lenses is where you want most of your money to go

Speaking of glass, what is recommended? Am considering:-
Nikon 16-35mm 1.4g
Nikon 50mm 1.8d

The D750 is the all round best choice, and IMHO has the potential to become a modern classic.

Sounds like a rather good choice then

Challenging light & Landscapes as said in the original post, Full Frame is a must.

D750 then if? It's that much better than a 7100
