Who's trolling? This started as a discussion about back focusing... You stated you couldn't tell the difference, but then went on to admit that you don't consider AF to be important to you personally and that furthermore, you use a camera with possibly the worst-performing AF module on the...

That's not really about respecting or giving equal weight to the opinions of people who are ignorant of the subject under discussion though...

Actually it isn't. It's literally the opposite. While I would value - or at least consider - the opinions of those who can demonstrate a knowledge and experience of photographic technique, I won't do the same for some random who picked up a camera yesterday.

Mike54 gives one example, but even shooting portraits and nudes, I find it more intuitive - I used to find that once the AF locked, that if you used shutter-button AF, the camera would try to re-focus and sometimes lose lock completely...

If you just want a new camera, buy one. But there's nothing wrong with the D750 in terms of IQ, ISO and DR... Personally I'd buy a new lens to shoot the kids with - a fast 50 will go nicely with the 35.
