Nikon D750 FX-format Digital SLR Camera Body

I have owned a number of SLR and D-SLR cameras and have found a perfect match to my needs in the Nikon D750. I won't get into a comparison of brands - each brand has its merits. I chose the Nikon family because many of my original film SLRs were Nikon and I wanted to get even more use out of my lenses. My first Nikon D-SLR was the D90, followed by the D7100. I loved both, the D7100 even more so (which is fair, given that it had several upgrades to the D90). The D750 is everything I've been waiting for. For a full-frame camera, it is very reasonably-priced. The photo quality is excellent - with good lenses, the images are sharp and the colours are beautiful and accurate. Low-light photography is amazing - I am continually stunned at how sensitive the sensor is and how minimal the noise is at high ISOs. I've used the camera for everything from fast-moving action shots (sports, auto-racing) to meteor showers and everything in between, including portraits and nature photography. Images enlarged to poster size retain their sharpness and detail. I have greatly enjoyed the photo quality of the D7100 - it's a great DX camera that I highly recommend if you're looking for DX. Sorry, you can't have mine because I'm keeping it!:) I was eager to do some side-by-side comparisons with the D750. Using the same lens, I took photos with each camera and, while pleased with the results of each, the photos from the D750 were exceptional. Much of the difference is likely due to the full-frame sensor and simply having so much more image to work with, but I was also impressed with the outstanding clarity in low-light conditions which is surely a result of the updated CMOS. I took some ambient outdoor photos during the last full moon using a tripod and was stunned by the detail in the D750 images. And the photos of the full moon itself were astounding - they were so clear and detailed, I wouldn't have been surprised to see an astronaut waving to me. :) The D750 has many features I've been longing for. - the tilt LCD is fantastic. I sometimes shoot using a monopod to get an angle above people's heads and the tilt LCD allows me to see what I'm getting. I recommend a wireless remote (Nikon or the AmazonBasics) or Nikon MC-DC2 remote release cord. - the built-in Wi-Fi has made it infinitely easier to go from camera to smartphone/tablet without needing to pull SD cards out of the camera and use a computer. With the Nikon WMU app on your smartphone or tablet, it takes only seconds to transfer images that you can then further proof, email, or post to social media. I've transferred images in 1-2 seconds each. You can also take photos on the D750 from your smartphone or tablet. (Be sure you have a fully charged battery to get the most out of the experience so you can have Live View appear on your device.) I recently shot photos for a competitive event and people were amazed at both the quality and the speed of the photos I was posting to Twitter. Within seconds of taking a photo on the D750, I could have the image posted to social media. - Speed! 6.5 fps can capture a lot of action, especially combined with the advanced auto focus features. I've been able to capture some amazing moments. - Face recognition - HD video is really fun and the quality is amazing! Even though the camera has reasonably good autofocus for video, I do recommend using manual focus if only to avoid the noise form the auto-focus (if you're using an external microphone, which I recommend, this isn't as much of a consideration). Most of the video I've taken has been in inherently noisy locations, so the autofocus noise is barely discernible and can be easily removed in post-processing if desired. - Dual memory card slots are super convenient! I got spoiled by this feature in the D7100 and love that I can set it up so that raw goes on one card and JPEG on the other, or have an automatic backup, or even set it up for overflow so I never have to worry about filling up a card right before that vital shot. ~ A couple of additional notes ~ LENSES: Like many photographers, I tend to find that lenses can have a greater impact on the quality of my photographs than the camera itself. It had been my intention to purchase a full-frame camera ultimately, so I ensured that my lenses were FX, even when I had DX cameras. This made the eventual upgrade to FX a much easier transition because I had lenses to choose from. (The DX lenses will work on the FX cameras, but the sensor will only shoot as though it were DX, so it's not taking full advantage of the FX sensor. The FX lenses work on the DX cameras, so it's a good long-term strategy to invest in FX lenses even if you have DX bodies.) Invest in the best possible lens you can afford, even if it may mean waiting to get a better camera body later. RAW/NEF: the raw (NEF) format has been updated, so you'll need to get an update to your image-processing software. (I use Adobe Photoshop CC and the current update is able to correctly process the NEF format.) MEMORY CARDS: Be sure to get high quality memory cards that have a Class 10 rating. This is the write speed. Given how fast you can take photos and video with this camera, you'll appreciate having memory card that keep up. My personal favourites are SanDisk Extreme Pro (32GB or 64GB) that have a write speed of 95MB/s. They are also shockproof and waterproof. "FLARE" - you may have seen reviews where people mention a problem with flare. Although this seems to have affected a very, very small percentage of the original D750 and only under very specific conditions, Nikon has made a correction, so any D750 you buy now will not have an issue. If you happen across an older one, Nikon will fix it.

Let me start off by saying that I am not a pro photographer, meaning I haven't ventured into "selling" my work. I would consider myself an enthusiast instead; I understand the basics of photography and read about the technology that drives the equipment. I don't take a purely artistic/creative approach, instead I like to see my photography as somewhere between documentary/event and photo-journalistic. These days, most of my photography takes place indoors, mostly in the evening hours, in poor lighting (probably the three least conducive variables to capturing light.) The lenses I've used to take such photographs consist of the Nikon 70-200 f2.8 VRII, Nikon FX 50 & 35 f1.8, and Sigma 18-35 f1.8. The photographs consist of portrait style, and group/candid shots. The other half of my photographs are of a similar style, but the subjects are hardly static (think action sports; actually I'll just tell you: indoor rock climbing.) I was using a D7200 with the above lenses and was getting mostly great results; depending on how poor the lighting was, my biggest obstacles were accurately attaining and maintaining focus and keeping high ISO noise to a minimum while freezing the action. For example, the candid and portrait shots I could shoot between f1.8-f2.8, 1/60-1/125s and stay at around ISO800-1600. For the action shots, I would have to be shooting f2.8-f4 at 1/200-1/250s with VR-ON (slows down focus acquisition, especially during bursts) and anywhere from ISO1600-6400 (in 1/3 steps), though I think most of those shots fell at 3200 and higher. At this point the noise would start to creep in and while I could apply NR in post, I would lose lots of fine detail in cleaning up the image. Since I do not get paid for my time, I shoot mostly in JPEG and strive to get correct exposure and WB in-camera. I do not have time to mess around in LR6 editing each RAW file (tangent: I started this hobby taking lots of pictures of my baby daughter and after 6 months or so, I have over 3,000 RAW files, mainly of my daughter, taking up over 92gb of hard drive space. Probably only 10% of those pictures would benefit from RAW post processing and in retrospect I would have saved a lot of time and space shooting in JPEG). This is where the D750 eliminates most of my problems. I had read lots of reviews and when the latest, hyped cameras come out, sometimes the reviewers can make some pretty lofty statements (forgive them, if you were a camera geek you'd be pretty stoked too). I also looked at the "scientific" performance of the camera, and while I am NOT a pixel peeper, nor a Brick Wall Analyst, the results I obtained from using the D750 and high quality glass had me doing double-takes. What I mean is, this camera did AMAZING things when it came to my two primary concerns: focussing action in low-light and high ISO/low-light noise management. I was zooming in to my photographs because I was so blown away by how well this camera performed compared to the D7200, and I just couldn't believe it. I have straight-out-of-camera shots (albeit, of my wife in our dim fluorescent lit living room) taken at ISO12,800 (Fine, JPG, High ISO NR-Normal, ADL-Auto) with my 50 f1.8 and they look FANTASTIC. Speaking from memory --so this could be a bit hyperbolic-- the shots taken on the D750 at ISO12,800 look just as good (if not better) as shots I've taken at ISO6400 on the D7200 (same settings and lens). From this, you can extrapolate that if you shoot mostly in outdoor/good light, or don't need high ISOs, your pictures will be EVEN BETTER. I somewhat regret not buying the D750 before the D7200 because while the D7200 is a great camera, and does really well in High ISO situations, the online reviews were just not able to articulate the difference in High ISO performance between the two cameras (while at the same time praising how well the D7200 performs in low-light) when I was deciding which camera to purchase so now I have to sell it for a loss. Other benefits I have noticed over the D7200 (or FX vs DX): - the bokeh (subject isolation) is appreciably better on the D750. - the ergonomics of the D750 are quite similar to the D7200, but a few rearranged/shifted buttons here, thicker grip there, all lead to a more comfortable experience. I use Back-button focussing for action, and although they shifted the AE/AF-L button a few mm to the left, I find this more comfortable than it's placement on the D7200. I am 5'4" with rock climber hands (still size small in blue nitrile gloves, though) and I found the D750 grip to be much more comfortable than the D7200. Folks with larger hands will probably find the same to be true. The D7200 was comfortable only if I slapped on the extended grip, because I would finally have room for my right pinky finger. The weight isn't really an issue; I use a nice strap (OP/Tech or Joby, depending on the lens.) - the tilting screen seems nice, though I have not found myself needing it so I taped the bottom of it to the camera body so that it would not accidentally open. To me, it's just another point of possible mechanical failure. - video capabilites: haven't used them, and don't know much (nor care) about what it offers, but Nikon seems to be pushing this feature-set. - quality of the rear LCD: same as the D7200, as far as I can tell. It's got 1200k dot resolution as compared to the 921k resolution of the D610 and lesser DX (and older FX) bodies. Bottom line - it's sharp and I like it. To summarize: If you shoot primarily indoors, or in low-light, or need to freeze action indoors and in low-light, and have good glass (f1.8-f4 max. aperture) GET this camera if you can afford it (the D610 I've read also performs similarly, however I like the ergonomic/button feature-set the D750 adopted from the D7100 and D800) If you shoot outdoors, in good light, still, landscape or street photography, and don't make a living with it, you can save yourself a lot of money by not getting this camera, and instead getting the D7100, D7200, or an even less expensive DX body and using the savings on better glass (any of the Sigma Art primes, or the Sigma 18-35 which I am very upset that I will have to sell since it's a DX lens.)

Looks and functions like NEW. Moving up from a D7000. Much more premium. Dials turn smoothly and are chunky rubber. Will take some time to get comfortable with the slight change in button layout. The jump in image quality is quite noticeable. My D7000 does not handle even slightly low light environments very well. ISO gets very rough at only 400 or so. The D750 is lightyears better. This will greatly open up creative possibilities and opportunities. I can’t wait to dive in. I’ve wanted this camera since its release. I’m so happy to finally own it.

I have owned the D300S for several years and would categorize myself as an enthusiast. I had been looking out for a some time to upgrade to the FX format... the D750 finally opened that opportunity up for me. I decided that the features of the D750 were a big enough step up from the D300S at a good price, which made it easy for me to take the leap. My DX lenses still work on the D750 (the viewfinder shows the cropped image), so I can slowly upgrade my lenses to FX over time. The first thing I noticed about the D750 was how trim and light it is compared to D300S. The D750 at first felt almost toy-like since it does't have the heft of the D300S, but the build does feel tight and sturdy. Other items compared to the D300S: The focus is much snappier, smarter, and accurate; my pictures are more clear and vivid (the FX format does not disappoint!); the flash seems to fill in a lot better; the LCD screen on the D750 angles for better creative and hard-to get shots; and the video-taking features are much more robust. I have not tried out the WiFi features yet, but will update the review once I do. Nighttime shots are much improved over the D300S, as are indoor darker shots. Sunset shots were also much truer in color than the D300S. I tried several shots at ISO 6400 and higher with very good results results. Very little graininess compared to the D300S at high ISO. Shot with a 50 mm 1.8 FX primary lens. I find that I carry this camera with me a lot more than I did the D300S. It is quite compact and light, especially with a small prime lens on it. I bought an ApeCase Plus which fits this camera very well with either the prime lens or the Nikkor 24-70mm 2.8 lens. And, by the way, this camera and the 24-70m 2.8 Nikkor are an amazing pair! VERY fast focus, and the images are extremely sharp. I continue to be very happy with this upgrade, particularly at this price! Of course, moving to the D750 will mean most of my legacy accessories will need to be retired. The MB-10 battery grip, extra batteries, etc. don't transfer over. The lenses do, however. I had always thought that I would have to shell out another $1,000 and go up in camera weight and size to get a pro/semi-pro FX camera. The D750 has put a lot of great functionality within reach for a lot of people. If you're considering the step up from DX, this is a great camera to do just that.

Full disclosure: In addition to NOT being a huge technophile, I'm really a digital-dinosaur who spent the bulk of my life shooting Tri-X pan in basic manual cameras. When I unpackaged my D750, I'm sure my expression resembled that of the first Neanderthal to look upon a cook fire. That said, I am a savvy photo cave-man who realizes choices are good. Although the manual focus on the camera works extremely well and gives me perfect through the viewfinder and ZONE FOCUSING, the D-750's auto focusing is extremely fast and responsive. For action shots I choose a single focus point in CONTINUOUS MODE. The camera focuses continuously (does not lock), and can gather data from as many as 51 adjacent focus points to track unpredictably moving subjects. This is very practical as no one knows the direction a man will take when fleeing a T-Rex (or if a tennis player will cut left or right). The camera also uses "predictive focus tracking" which comes on when your subject moves towards, or away from you. In short, the camera tracks the subject's SPEED and DIRECTION so that it can continue to focus even while the shutter opens. Another great feature because even Cro-Magnon photographers know that the elderly flee predators more slowly than Millennials . Seriously, though, it will lock onto a Hockey player, or a Football player and most of the shots in a burst will be in focus (sorry, most of your carefully chosen DECISIVE MOMENTS). DANGER...If your shooting a portrait, be sure to slap a single focus point on your model's eyeball and TURN OFF CONTINUOUS FOCUS, or you might get a nicely focused hand, or ear-ring. Personally, I like to assign auto focus to the AEL-AFL button which naturally lies under the thumb of my right hand (forefinger on the shutter, thumb on auto-focus.) This eliminates the need to hover over a subject with the shutter pressed halfway down My only gripe about the d750's focusing would be that the 51 focus points are grouped too tightly in the center of the viewfinder. Wouldn't it be better if they were spread out over most of the frame?? It's cool that the D-750 has the best low light auto-focusing of any Nikon camera (up to -3EV), but I'M A NEANDETHAL. I like to ignore that impressive spec, shut off the annoying focus light, and use zone focusing for family portraits inside my cave. (it gets really dark in there when the fire goes out). Also, the spot meter is spot on for far away shots of Pterodactyls against the afternoon sky. Seriously, though, zone focusing has never failed me. I would also like to mention that as a digital-Neanderthal I always shoot in MANUAL EXPOSURE MODE. I mostly use the auto modes in the D750 like a fancy reflective light meter. If you have a scene with a lot of contrast, as I said, the spot meter works great. OK, I admit it. For the occasional grab shot I use program mode and essentially turn my D750 into a PHD camera (push here dummy). I am very embarrassed to admit this. HOWEVER, I must give credit to the auto exposure modes in the D750 which work exquisitely 90% of the time. If not, you can fix a RAW file in post, right? Speaking of which, the Nikon editing software that comes with the camera (Picture Control Utility 2??) is so detailed and comprehensive, it almost eliminates the need for Photoshop. Even for a high-functioning Troglodyte, the D750's menu is huge, multi-layered and maze-like. However, most of the functions you will ever need to change are readily accessible through buttons located on the camera body. In addition, there is a folder called "my menu", and you can transfer your favorite menu items to this location. Did I already mention I'm a Neanderthal? Some of my non-PC friends even call me a "knuckle-dragger". That's why I ALWAYS use a camera strap or a ROCK-SOLID tripod, because as far as I know, no modern digital camera responds well to being wacked on a rock, or smacked with a club. Nikon claims that the D750 is "weather sealed" and "dust sealed" . That said, shooting in the rain is one thing, but I would never submerge my D750 or plop it on a sandy beach. BUYING INSURANCE is a probably good idea for a $2,000.00 camera body. So let's wrap this up. With 24.3 megapixels and a full size sensor the D750 produces images with incredible resolution and color. To my prehistoric eyes, most digital cameras over saturate colors and the D750 is a bit more guilty of this than most. If you think this looks pretty, you're in luck. If not, you can TONE IT DOWN with Nikon's editing software. Also, the files are very data rich, so feel free to do some cropping. Even though the camera is smallish for a full sensor camera, it has a wonderfully deep grip that feels very secure in your hands. Nikon says the shutter is good for 150,000 iterations, but if you read the fine print this is more of a marketing claim than a get your money back guarantee. One last thing. This camera has so many bells and whistles you should make sure it works to your liking before an important job. The first week I had the camera I was shooting a portrait and the lens aperture changed with every picture I shot. Turns out I had accidentally activated the aperture bracketing function a few days before my job. Miscellaneous: • In 3D focus mode the camera chooses the focus point. I don't use it. • The view screen articulates 90 degrees up or down (see photos). • The D750 has a radio slave that can control two banks of flashes. • Battery meter shows shots left on battery, as well as the age of the battery.

I have been in DSLR photography since 2009 and my first camera was Nikon D90, which I am still using as of today. Then I bought a great film camera (F100) to find out what "full frame" experience was. Well, I liked it enough to start thinking of upgrade to Full Frame by 2012. As long as photography is not my primary job, I never intented to invest a fortune here, so D600 was my first target, but I am glad I waited (dust/oil issue). Then D610 was announced and I was still concerned about my investment - I shoot sports sometimes and AF ponts spread across the frame was a major issue to me, as well as AF speed. Meanwhile, I made a thorough research of discontinued models as well, like D700 or D3. Then I heared something new is coming, possibly a D700 successor. That turned out to be D750. This review is from a position of enthusiast photographer, who has few years of experience in digital and film photography. But I bet I have spent enough time in researching possible upgrades. When D750 specs were finally announced officialy, I was happy with the price/value, so I preordered it and received on Sept 27, 2014. I strongly believe this is more D650 than D750, but this was not a post-purchase surprise. D610 is a very good camera itself (from my position) and improvements in D750 are significant, especially in AF performance. So far, what I can say about this camera is mostly positive. including: 1) low light capabilities - I think I re-discovered low light and night photography. high ISO performance of this camera is outstanding 2) AF speed/accuracy - I am used to 11 point autofocus on DX camera, where only one was crosstype. Now I have almost 5 times more points, which I still do not know how to use, but the bottom line is that AF speed is super fast and it just never missed so far (still needs to be checked in extreme tests) 3) body - my assumption was that FullFrames are big, heavy and bulky. This is not. I take it as an advantage, moreover, the grip is very solid and feels comfortable in my average size hand. I think I will never need a battery grip. 4) tiltable LCD - very nice addition. I always felt jelous to those amateur cameras having riltable screen for low/high angle pictures. And this LCD is definitely not for selfies, you cannot turn it all the way around to be facing front. 5) wifi built in - good thing to have, especially for sports photography. I will be sharing pics to my colleague in real time, so I do not have to exchange SD cards many times during the game. There are some issues already reported concerning security of wi-fi sharing, but I think this will be fixed in the new firmware. I have not tested video features yet as I am not a video guy. But this will be some new experience for me. Bottom line - I think this is a great camera to upgrade from DX. At the same time, this can be a very good option for a back-up camera for wedding photographers.

Already received it and here's my initial take on it. Basically it IS a D610 with a new name and a handful of refinements. It has a new Expeed 4 processor in it which is supposed to be faster than the D610, however I see no differences in start up, menu response time, or menu navigation improvements. So the faster CPU isn't impacting the user-experience with the software in the camera. The Tilt screen is nice, but there is no LCD protective cover included with the camera. This is my first Nikon that did not include one. Maybe due to the design of the flippy LCD? I think this could be an issue down the road unless the type of glass covering the LCD is made out of diamond or similar. <g> The Focus points are better but are clustered together in the middle of the screen just like (but not as tight as) the D600/D610 and your average DX camera. This is very odd and probably done on purpose to put us in our place. The grip is new. It is deeper and I like it a lot. I grabbed my D610 and D90 to compare and the D750 grip was the best of them. Although there are some more angular corners on parts of it that some may not enjoy, but other previous sharp points on the camera (from the D610) have been rounded nicely. [UPDATE: The more I use it, the more I dislike the part of the grip under the heal of the thumb--it is part of the SD card door and really "sticks out" compared to prior Nikon models--a bit too pointy in my opinion.] There is no little plastic cover for the "hot shoe" that has been in every camera I've ever owned. This one is either missing or they just don't offer it. So I pulled the one from the D90 and will use it. [UPDATE: The hot shoe cover is not included for some dumb reason.] [UPDATE: The menu system is similar to D6xx however, the Timelapse option is moved to the new MOVIE menu. In addition the name of Movie files (at least the prefix of them) has an option to change the first 3 letters. So I tried to change it to VID instead of DSC and was able to type in the VID letters however the "geniuses" at Nikon did not include a way to actually save that change, so it always reverts back to DSC. [UPDATE: I have detected no fewer than 3 software issues which will need to be corrected via Firmware update when Nikon realizes and fixes these issues. I've spoke with Nikon on them. Those three software defects are: (1) as mentioned above, the naming on the Video files reverts back to the DSC prefix. (2) The camera needed the have the battery removed to power it off after leaving sit for a lengthy duration (about 40+ minutes) of non-use. (3) The message when an SD card is locked and can't be used by the camera is ambiguous at best. NONE OF THESE are show-stoppers and shouldn't influence your decision making. ] [UPDATE: I shot a dozen pictures of my wife on Ch (continuous high 6.5 fps) as she walked down the stairs at home. I used the Nikon 50mm f1.8 lens. Of the 12 shots, 4 were in focus. So the new AF wile "new" isn't much better than what you had with the D610. Just marketing BS. [UPDATE: I took it out in "my" environment and shot several nature photos. The autofocus was very accurate, more so than those I shot indoors. In fact, sandhill cranes taking off were continuously in focus. The pixel-peeper 100% zoom in on photos as higher ISO setting (about 640) do not have noise at all, but instead the "noise" pixels seem to be white. My wife commented that the photos at 100% zoom looked "dusty" but you don't publish 100% zoom typically. I'm not sure if I like this or not, but it may just be that it is different (from the D610 that I also own).] Oh, and the photos look great right out of the box, maybe a subjective tad better than the D610 but I can't be sure, but certainly not enough to warrant a D750 over the D610. [UPDATE: Test shots taken with my D610 and D750 using the same lens (Nikkor 50mm 1.4G) same camera setting and same everything showed the following: Focus on D750 was MUCH more accurate than D610. Colors on D750 were brighter due to D750 seeming to always shooting brighter images (this seems to always happen with new nikons until the first firmware update). The detail at 100% zoom/crop was subjectively different. The D750 showed more detail near the focus area than D610. But again, that "dusty" look is new for me. Perhaps someone with more experience can clarify what this may be. It could just be a perspective issue.] Bottom line: If you have a D610, enjoy it, this is pretty much the same thing but with a few refinements and a flippy LCD. If you are considering this vs D610, get the D750. If you're thinking about a D7100 vs D750, get this. It is a great camera, great quality but does have some (in my view) missing pieces. [UPDATE: My recommendation to get the D750 hasn't changed, so those who replied to this review with an attitudes that my recommendation was to the contrary, apparently can't read.] UPDATE: 26 March 2015: I have a "camera lockup" issue with the D750 and sent it to Nikon. Unfortunately for me, this was during the "Lens Flare" issue product recall period. My camera did not have the lens flare issue, however Nikon service performed the lens flare service request. Okay, fine... no harm. But (A) They did not resolve the lockup issue and (B) the splashed something on the lens causing at least a half dozen spots to appear (even at wider apertures). So I had to send it in a 2nd time. That time they did nothing but "clean the sensor" and return it. however, the spots remained. A 3rd trip to Nikon Service and a dozen or so emails and phone calls finally got them to restore the camera to "new working order' (i.e., "no spots") Again these were caused by something splashing on the sensor during the Lens Flare service, an issue I did not have with my camera. Bottom line, I'm very happy to have the camera back--I've been using other cameras and while the format is nicer (smaller) there is nothing quite as good as the D750 with good glass.

I have been a Nikon shooter for the past 4 years. My previous experience includes a Nikon D3000, D700, D7100, and now the Nikon D750. I have always been impressed with Nikon picture quality, build quality and ergonomics, and this camera is no different! It truly is wonderful in so many respects. I am a wedding and event photographer, and my D700 has served as my main camera throughout my career. Some will argue that this is not a true replacement of the D700, and I will agree with them on some levels, but when it comes down to photo quality, this camera is indeed better. IQ, High ISO performance, and Dynamic range are all much improved from the D700. Autofocus is extremely fast and accurate, and will nearly shoot in the dark. Additionally, with some post processing, I can deliver usable photos up to 10,000 ISO. AMAZING! Where this camera from the D700, is the way it feels. It is considerably lighter (which is a good thing in my opinion), but lacks the weight and durable feel of the D700. Since I normally carry my camera for hours over my shoulder, I will take the lighter body almost every time. This camera also lacks the dedicated buttons for ISO, WB, and QUAL, but certainly not a deal breaker. The last noticeable difference is the shutter speed difference (1/8000 from the D700, and only 1/4000 from the D750. For bird photographers, this is a deal breaker. Compared to the D7100, this camera is nearly identical. Controls are 99% the same, as well as weight and ergonomics. The D7100 and D750 are a wonderful combination as a backup and main camera. The D750 high ISO performance is almost 2 stops better than the D7100. Otherwise, IQ, and controls are very much the same. The D750 buffer seems appropriate for what it is designed for, filling after a few second, but still getting off around 10-15 before it slows down. WB seems accurate (but if you shoot in RAW, this doesnt matter anyway). When you pick up the camera for the first time, you will say WOW! this handle feels so different! It may take some time to get used to, but I find it balances the weight of the camera better than the fatter handles. All in All, the camera for the price gets a 5/5. No problems with it yet, every function works as described, it is saving me some shoulder pain, and makes wonderful photos just like my other Nikons. You will enjoy, I promise!
