Basically is determines how 'sticky' the AF point is to the subject before it focuses on something else.
Excellent! Thats very helpul for horses as they go over the jumps! Will put mine up to 4 or 5.

Which is why I have that option on my custom menu. Occasionally someone will want to take a pic of me and so it's quicker just to change before handing over.
When we were away I was taking shot of my better half and daughter shooting into the setting sun. A guy next door spotted us and offered to take a snap of us all, so i politely said "sure, but are you ok with an SLR?" Of course he says confidently. Needless to say, all were badly OOF and framed terribly lol

How's everyone find the location tagging of photos with wifi download of photos to iOS? Tried it for the first time today and it placed my photo near Boston, Lincolnshire.....where I have never been in my life!

I must admit, why do people use location tagging? Seriously, what is the point?

I often do it for my own benefit when it's not obvious what/where the photo is. An aide de memoir

I assume "the other one" was Canon
What didn't you like about Fuji? To be honest Fuji's still no match for the D750, great system but not quite there yet. Any reason you bought the D750 and D500? I thought about it but not sure what advantage the D500 would offer me tbh. I don't need 12fps and the AF system on the D750 is more than capable for the sports and wildlife I shoot. TBH sometimes I use my D750 at 3fps for sports as otherwise I can end up sifting through too many virtually identical shots.

Fair do's. My folders generally are listed by 'event' which often also contains the location

Yes it was Canon, there was nothing wrong with the Canon system i just fancied trying a new system and jumped in fully! i got a xt1 and xpro2, there is no doubting they are great bits of kit but just not for me or my style, there were things i preferred but for me some of the things i did not like were, the battery life, the constant switching between lvd, evf trying to save power, being unable to charge the internal battery without removing the grip, the aperture ring is really easy to catch and move by accident as are the dials on the camera, not being able change the iso manually without removing the flash gun, not the greatest or fastest autofocus in tricky conditions, poor noise levels at high iso, just to give you an idea, im mainly weddings and need to move fast and found it fiddly for speed although that may have improved with time but i did enjoy the quirky controls when shooting for pleasure which unfortunately is not very often, im not starting a war its just how i found it for me
I got the 2 Nikon bodies to give me a variety, extra reach, have a future proof backup camera (although im finding i use it loads more than my canon backup camera) the batteries are the same so they work quite well together, the extra fps are good to have if required and the reported auto tracking is something to have again if required. Of course if you dont require the extras great but for me i like to have as many bases covered!

Slippery slope. We're going do a cake smash for her birthday in a few weeks and so wanted a pink paper. I've now got white, black, 2 different greys, ivory and now pink lol. That will do now. I bought a hi lite the other month secondhand as was going cheap, still haven't used it and no real plans either, just handy to have if someone wants a hi key shoot at home.

I am the opposite I have some money to burn before the wife uses it for something sensible and can't find anything to buy.
Raging!

Surprise her, take her out for a nice meal. Then when you do work out what you really want, she'll be more sympathetic.

With the amount of weddings we have done recently the last thing she wants to do is go out for something to eat.
Of to look at a 200-400
Is there anyone else out there who's had problems with the D750 focusing with older lenses (which work fine on other bodies) excluding teleconverters?
Mine seems to hate my Nikon 300mm f2.8 AF-S II and I'm trying to see if there's any other people in the same situation to learn a little more before I get it repaired.

Took little one to PYO Pumpkins today, but she was an absolute terror as she hasn't been too well the last few days, still managed a few shots:

Was a nightmare for this, we wanted to replicate a shot from last year but no such luck

I've also noticed I need to get to grips with colour portrait editing, I choose the easy option and convert to black and white.

I gave my new-to-me D750 it's first work out this weekend and I'm very happy with it. The camera is so nice to handle, I was at home with it compared to the A7ii it has replaced. The 24-120 F4 is a super lens considering it's range and price. The camera takes superb RAW files with lots of 'play' in them. I'm also very happy with the Jpegs it produces, I put in some custom settings for Jpeg and must of guessed correctly as they are lovely. Much more life in them than the Sony Jpegs which you don't get much control of so they are either plain and lifeless or well OTT.
Very happy with my D750. All family snaps taken so far but will hopefully have something to post on this thread soon
