Not dumb, just uneducated.

I've got the cameras, microscopes, and computers.
So I have the equipment needed but I need a tutorial as to how to post stuff on the forum and the web.
Any ideas as to how I might pursue this education would be helpful.
Thanks, Greg

I seem to have no problems working on the forum, but I want to find a camera for macro photography, but I don’t know which camera to choose so that you can change lenses on it, it is possible to somehow combine it with a microscope. I have not studied this issue very well yet. Can you tell me if any of these

I don't know a great deal about this but you'll need a camera with a C mount for use with a microscope. You also will probably not use a macro lens with a microscope so your idea of changing lenses will be important to you. Someone with more experience will most likely give you some really good advice.

There are quite a few options so I (we) need to know:
1] what do you want to photograph?
2] what magnifications are you hoping for? 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x,.....200x ?
3]what microscope do you have? If none, what do you hope to buy?
4] how much are you willing to spend? Don't need an exact amount but say small budget, medium budget, huge budget?

My microscope is still old and needs to be changed. but have not yet decided which model to take. The camera is of interest for a universal one, both for ordinary shooting and for shooting with a microscope. If at all possible. The budget is about 2-2.5 thousand. I plan to invest in a good and useful thing.

I have a Nikon D7200 and a Nikon D810. Both are excellent and both work well as a regular camera and when attached to my Olympus BH2 with a trinocular head.
Of the cameras you originally referenced the Nikon D850 is likely the best DSLR ever made (maybe the new mirrorless ones are better?). However the D850 is $3,000.00
and the mirrorless even more.
I doubt you can do better than getting a Nikon D750 for <$2,000.00
One big advantage of a Canon camera is that Canon has a lens that goes from 1x-5x, very convenient if you want f this range in a superb quality lens.

Thanks for the recommendations. And another question. Aside from a specific budget, which camera should you choose? Maybe over time it will be possible to allocate funds for a suitable option.
