[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 565070, member: 9240"] Always read your email. As of this morning B&H hadn't processed my return (they received the camera on the 22nd) so I called them up and about an hour later I got an email acknowledging the receipt. Two hours after that I got an email saying that the return had been processed. Whoo-hoo - now I just need to wait for the next shipment. I opened the email and read that my "return has been processed". Had I stopped there I wouldn't have noticed that they'd processed it as a refund to my credit card and not as an exchange. I called them back immediately and managed to get it reversed. Waiting another day and the credit would have been issued and I may have had issues getting back to the top of the queue. Dodged a bullet. And while I'm typing, I've been back to using my D750 for my evening birding shots. I can't believe how much better the D500's focus system is. When I first got the 150-600mm I was impressed with the lens and figured focus speed was focus speed - not lightning quick but faster than the 150-500mm. But on the D500 I could set the focus point anywhere and it would grab focus almost immediately, even in dark, low contrast areas and with a 1.4x TC. With the D750 I'm getting hunting in high contrast areas where I want to focus on something close with plenty of empty space behind it and the center focus point aimed right at it. I also miss the heck out of the complete side-to-side focus points. I still love the D750, but I've always said there are horses for courses and I miss my filly. [/QUOTE]
