I had my Canon T3i, all my lenses, camera gear, my Macbook pro and all my Uni work/ text books stolen from my car the other afternoon when someone picked the lock and got in.
Luckily it is covered under insurance and I've been given a situation where It would be dumb not to upgrade.
After researching heavily over the last week, I'm thinking of switching over to Nikon and looking at D750. I'm keen to go full frame and am willing to put in a bit of extra cash to get something good. I was keen to stay with Canon how ever from my research it seems that Nikon are better value for money (correct me if i am wrong)
I shoot primarily Timelapses (mostly night/stars) Landscape stills and plan to occasionally film / shoot skiing.
Am I on the right track with a D750 or what do you think.
I did Search bar but couldn't find too much on the D750.
Your help is much appreciated NS.

Any camera in that price-bracket is decent and will do the job fine. If size is a concern (or if you want to fiddle with mah old manual lenses get an A7(R/S/II/RII/SII/whatever many models sony pumps out))

Really sorry to hear that, even though your covered it still must be a bummer. Is there an exact price range you have (and does your budget need to include a computer?), and do you have any specific requirements in regards to gear? For example, if you are only doing video for skiing, go for older lenses and save cash. If you are going to shoot photos of jumps though, then I would recommend you set some cash aside for a nice 70-200 (with AF). Also, if you are planning on shooting more than the occasional sports photo, I would stay away from the mirrorless offerings. While the AF is fine for static subjects, having shot with a number of mirrorless and dslr's, the mirrorless camera's simply can't keep up with the DSLR's when it comes to tracking a moving subject. Even the "lesser" canons (5D, 6D both have slow AF compared to 7D and 1 series) can beat them in regards to this hands down. If you aren't shooting many sports photos though (or they will be with a wide angle so AF isn't an issue), the mirrorless cameras let you use some fantastic glass that won't fit on most if not all dslr's. Starlapses/landscapes should be similar on similar models/formats (eg, comparing full frame to full frame). Micro four thirds can give great results, but it isn't really fair to compare it to a full frame (mirrorless or dslr) for landscape/star photography use.
