I'm not a 'pro' nor am I producing fine art but do like decent quality along with choices

I never do prints with Shutterfly. The only products of their's I like are the photobooks...and then don't go for the layflat option (they fall apart.). Their ordinary hardcover option is great for when your aunt or someone is begging you for something they can show all their friends but you can't justify spending a bazillion dollars.

Looks like I'll be in your neck of the woods around 3/30. I'm waiting on some final details, but I'll have a wedding out there on the 31st!

My D750 will do me more than good for quite a long time (combined with the 70-200 and the 58 prime).
Waiting for March-April here when I understand the wildflowers will be blooming!

I was lazy and just sold (well, got a quote and have shipped them off) my DX-only lenses to B&H. I know I probably could have done better price wise trying to sell them on my own but the hassle for me with getting the $$ and then shipping off individual items just wasn't worth it.
I am still amazed when I am shooting in the "dark" at how much light I can gather between the D750 and that 58mm lens with not ridiculously high ISOs.
Those fiber optic pieces are a challenge between very bright light and very dark backgrounds but still fun to mess with

For now, I'm currently stalking a D3 that popped up for sale with a pretty low shutter count (63k) and for a good price. If it the price holds, I'm going to try and jump in and grab it.
I think I"m going to sell my old D5000 and the kit lenses that came with it. Any idea what a fair price would be? I was thinking $200-300? It has 2 Vr lenses (18-55, 55-300 or maybe it's 200, I forget), a grip, and extra battery. I could maybe even throw in a bag for it.

The D3 is kind of meh - your 610 is a better camera. The D3s is the better deal.
But, the batteries are about $200 a piece and they're dual CF card slots - so again, cards are crazy pricey. I'd like to have one, but I'm unwilling to go the D3 or D3s route because of those things. The D3 and D3s batteries don't last a ton of recharges for the price. I like the D750 over those.
I'd totally own a D4, D4s, or D5, though, they have advantages over the D750.

See, I do love my 610, but it's focusing in low light can be an issue, which is something I'm told the D3 excels at. The one I'm looking at comes with a couple of batteries and some CF cards. I know the D750 would be the wise choice, but I'm not wanting to lay out that kind of money for gear at this point. Maybe if the price comes down, idk.

Very painless process... got an online quote from them, shipped them the lenses (prepaid by B&H), and got the value from the quote(I rated excellent condition even though no owners manual and I had written on the bottom of the soft side bags). About 3 weeks start to finish, check is in the mail. Could I have gotten more if I sold myself, yeah, pretty sure that is the case but this was no hassle.
I'd check eBay and B&H for value estimates as a place to start.

RTR, while the card is still hot, maybe a new 70-200 for me too???
April 26th will be here before you know it - who did you order the D500 from??
