That's exactly my line about DSLR cameras : price are dropped, you get more value and more lenses than mirrorless cameras. I don't care about the machine or the tech involved as long as the output statisfy me.

I had my D750 out of its boxes and packaging, battery installed and lens mounted in about one minute. Another three or four minutes for date, time, file naming, copyright and card formatting. After that, the mirror was flopping up and down. I put the strap on later.

You will be just fine with the D750 and you made a wise upgrade. I own the D500 for birding, wildlife, and sports. I own the D750 for weddings, due to its file size and a D810, which I got a great price on used and it is for Landscapes and Studio work under controlled lighting conditions. The D750 is the natural upgrade for you if you own APSC and looking to grow as a photographer, so enjoy it, it has been a wonderful camera for me. You have on the left side U1 and U2, which allows you to program certain settings. Before getting my D810, which I got in Jun of this year, I would use the U1 setting for my studio stuff and set my settings up for portraits and it was really quick as a baseline that I could adjust based on my lighting conditions. For weddings I would go to the church and reception hall and measure my light, I still use a light meter and I would set things up under U2, which also gave me a nice baseline to start from. You can also program the recording button to be your ISO button, like on the D500 and it's much quicker to change ISO. I also have my Depth of Field Preview button as my My Menu Button, which allows you to put the things that you use the most often and have quick access to them. The biggest difference between the D750 and D810 is the Mega Pixels, the ability to shoot at ISO 64 and small, med and large Raw File selection. The D750 has better ISO performance than the D810, it is better in low light and has greater dynamic range. The Difference between the D750 and the D500, outside of one being crop and one being APSC is the almost limitless buffer, which allows you to shoot at 10fps up to 200 frames and it will stop, take your finger off of the trigger for a second and you can shoot 200 more shots. This is great for birding or anything fast action. I also go to Airshows and if you have ever tried to photograph a Jet in flight, you will need everything that the D500 has. The D750 and D810 buffer fill up to fast for action with raw files. The D500 even beats the D850 in buffer capacity and is only second to the D5, it's father. The D500 has a better autofocus system than both the D750 and the D810, it's the D5 and D850 autofocus system but tweaked a little in the D850. Nikon tweaked the autofocus system in the D750, which is better than the D810, it's slightly faster. Good luck with your new D750 and don't believe some of the negative issues that Nikon had with it, I did have mine in for service for a different issue and Nikon authorized a new camera and I got it back in a week and I haven't had a problem since. I have had the D500 and D750 since they both came out and bought them brand new. I still shoot film as well and own a Nikon F4. Good luck with your camera, you will enjoy it and I still enjoy mine.

Im the one of the view that made the switch from mirrorless camera to DSLR. We are now in september 2022 and lately I read that ' they ' are saying the DSLR is dead. It could be but, but I like the form factor so much. I sold my complete mirrorless set the Panasonic G90 and I wanted so badly the Nikon D7200. I couldnt find a proper one in mint condition and less klicks. Instead I found and bought the D7100. Well compared to the Panasonic G90 its maybe a luttle stepp back regarding video setting abillity and for not having the famous IBIS system it is still a great joy to shoot pictures. Now I want to make a step further and I still thinking on the D7200. And compared to the 7100 it has the Expeed processor 4. So maybe the next step the Nikon D750? What do you think?

The D750 is FF as I am sure you are aware. So if you have lots of APS-C glass, the D750 may be a big step if you also need to change a lot of glass. That said, I love the D750. It is one of the most uncomplicated cameras I have ever worked with. It never talks back. It just does what you ask it to. Regarding the D7100/D7200 - I have seen grown men cry because they parted with their beloved camera! So if you love the D7100, it may that staying with it - or maintaining it as a backup camera - would be a good idea.

I've had mine for 2 years now, and I'm just as happy with it now, as when I bought it new. I have a 28-300mm that rarely comes off these days, as it's just SO versatile, yet giving wonderful images. I have many FX lenses now, albeit few primes, other than my 50mm F/1.4 & a Tamron 90 Macro, but would like to get the 105mm F/1.4 as it's one of Nikon's lenses for near perfect clarity. Again, it depends on the photographer, but these days I'm usually carrying my tripod and gimbal head to get the best of sharp shots. Great review!

I’m wondering is it still worth to buy this camera considering 5 years old?. The concern I have is from D750 is - 1. Slower AF, 2. Shutter speed 1/4000 which is half the D780/Z6ii/Z5 1/8000. Are these show stopper for D750?. Purpose of buying a camera is for taking Portraits, Still, Landscape, Bird, Product photography (learning) and of course my kids. It would be really great if you throw some lights on my concern to make a wise decision.... other options I have considered is Nikon D780 with one of the lens and Z6ii with the kit lens... apart from D780 and Z6ii I have been suggesting to go with D850 with the kit lens. Thank you and looking forward to your suggestion.

One factor that helped determine my choice for the D750 over the 850, when comparing them side by side, was weight. I'll cover one music festival, in particular, almost yearly, which can find me carrying my camera around up to 14 hrs a day, often with a 70-200mm zoom attached,. That 850 is just way too damn heavy for my liking, while the 750 is nice and light. I liked the idea of it, but after picking it up, I could see it killing my wrist fast for the type of stuff that I need to shoot. I also don't feel like I need or want to deal with the amount of memory needed for the 45.7mp and, with the price I got the 750 for, I literally could have bought 2.5 of them, before ever hitting the price that the 850 is sitting at right now.

Thanks, yes, your line of reasonning is very similar to the wedding photographer (applehead studios) that I studied when determining the D750 - he actually godt four D750s! I also find the 46mp a bit intimidating, although when doing heavy cropping of the 0.0000001% of my pictures that need so, I could use the extra pixels. 14 hours - that's serious. If you were carrying a Z6/Z7 you would need so many batteries to cover a full day that you would need a little trailer to carry it :-D

Looking back over the last 5 years since this video was made, and the 9 years since the D750 was released, and the developments in cameras over that time, the only thing that's important is the quality of the raw output before processing of a camera's sensor. The thing about the D750 is that with perhaps the sensor in the Lumix S1/Leica SL/2, is that the images produced are astounding. They are fabulous even when using a kit lens...good enough to win the UK Landscape Photograph of the year in 2022 and the lens used there was the Nikon 24-120 F4, a lens that can be bought today for $500.

I'm watching a d750 review in 2019 because it's camera shopping time! At its current price (new or used), D750 competes with more 'modern' 2017/2018/2019 mirrorless cameras (Olympus EM1 MK2, Lumix G9, Fujifilm XT3, XH1, Sony A7ii/rii, Canon M5/M50) and Canon entry level full frame 6D (with 24-105mm) or 6D MK2 (with budget left for only a nifty fifty). Contrary to many reviewers/photographers' over-emphasis on video spec, high ISO, high DR, pixel count, etc, I actually just want a good, reliable, easy to use/handle (not too big such that I won't carry with me, and not too small until I can only hold with 3 fingers), still photography camera with good image quality VISIBLE on electronic media. As such, it seems that Canon 6D Mark 1 may look dated with only one capable center AF point, while Mark 2 doesn't have noticeable upgrade (if I ignore video friendly features like Dual-Pixel AF, tilt screen, etc). Canon and Nikon full frame mirrorless offerings are out of my budget. Have you considered those mirrorless cameras mentioned above in the same price point as your D750 for stills? And how do you choose D750 over them? Is it because you just want a FF DSLR for different handling experience?

Hi Jas, since I made the video on the D750, I have actually purchased a Sony A7rii which now within the reach of my budget (1380 EUR body only). So I can speak to the D750 versus the Sony A7Rii with first level experience (maybe I should make a blog post about the difference between the two...). You should know that I most of the time use these cameras for stills, landscape and other subjects that basically don't move. So AF systems and FPS is not key to me. I happily buy vintage lenses and spend minutes fine tuning the focus manually... First of all, I was surprised to find how little difference there is between a 40+ mp and a 24+mp frame. I thought the level of detail would be mind-blowing on the A7rii. It is not. It is better. But just better. In terms of shooting experience the Sony is horrible. You get used to it, but it is horrible. The best thing is that it is consistent horrible across their product range (the RX100 is another of my cameras, and the menus are the same). You can tell that Nikon has been in this game for a long time and they have listened to feedback from photographers for many years and improved and improved. Sony is - I think - an engineer driven company where technical specs and superiority is key. Not shooting experience. A mirrorless has some big advantages, especially when shooting with vintage lenses: Focus peak and focus magnification. Great help. Really useful. Secondly, you can see the level indicator + histogram also in the viewfinder. I find that extremely useful. And then most importantly: what you see in the EVF is what you get - follows from the fact that you see a tv screen with what the sensor is exposed to - so if you over- or under expose your pictures then you see it prior to pressing the shutter. What would I go for? Well, if you shoot a lot with manual lenses then the mirrorless is a big help. If handling and shooting experience is more important to you, then the D750. If find I use both. And every time I grap the Nikon, it is with a sigh of relief - it is just a better friend. More easy to work with. And the battery lasts forever on the Nikon. The Sony burns batteries like chainsmokers burn cigarettes. Hope this gave some insight. Happy to elaborate. As said, I can make a blot post with a more thorough analysis if it is in demand!

@@frederikboving thanks so much for the insights. Yes I had both dslr and mirrorless. And real rangefinder too. I think based on your experience, one can see mirrorless as a mega-pixel-monster plus an economical rangefinder for manual focusing style (economical compared to leica). I can see huge use for landscape if the mirrorless body is weather proof plus tilt screen plus lighter to carry and mainly put on tripod when handling is not so important. In terms of mirrorless handling, maybe in 3-4 years time canon and nikon will beat sony when their ff mirrorless can reach their dslr speed and handling. Best of both world. And probably cheaper overtime as with most new technology.

I know that your video is few months old but I hope by now you have checked out how your Sigma wide zoom 18-35 that you say you love will fit perfectly on your D750 and give you the real field of view of 18mm to 35mm not a crop version of 27mm - 52.5mm like it does on your crop camera. I use my beloved DX 12-24mm Nikkor wide zoom on my full frame bodies and between 18mm-24mm there is no vignetting at all (from 12-16mm yes) so what it gives me is extra coverage in my wide angle that my 28-70 didn't give me and of course I can still use it on my D500 but of course on that body it then gives me that 18mm-36mm field of view compared to Full Frame.

But for me the best value Nikon at the moment is the D800, they can be picked up for as little as £500, for me is way too slow for the shooting that I do, however for most people it is the best pound for pound camera at the moment.

Right you are! Just tested the ISO button and you are absolutely right! And it does not help to block the viewfinder - it still switches on. And using the record button as ISO button does not solve the problem either! (when my D5600 turns on the screen when I dont want to, then I just flip the LCD inwards, but that is not possible with the D750). Good point about the D800. I have stayed clear of the D800 due to the oil problem, but will give it a second look. I guess the 800E is the one to go for?

New2Photography the ISO button is the one thing that has stopped me using it as my primary camera, as it feels great to use and everything else about it is great. Though having looked online and through the manual and on the camera there is no way to turn it off, so for me at least I don’t think I will be keeping mine for very long. I’ve just sold by D800 to replace it with a D4 and I never had any oil issues, in fact I didn’t think it was susceptible to it (thought it was only D600/610). Though the D800e is the one to go for, but you pay a £100 or £200 more for one, and I couldn’t justify it. Just be aware the the ISO performance leaves a lot to be desired.

There also is a review of the camera 1 year after shooting. I think it is a very great camera still and many wedding photographers has this as their workhorse. You can see an example of a wedding photographer who chose the D750 and why he did it: kzitem.info/news/bejne/t2p3unaBiqp6jZg - You may also want to look at the Nikon D700. It is an old camera and far from perfect, but it is amazing value for money. You can find my playlist with D700 videos here: kzitem.info/door/PLPjooVCTLG910wkb8TMrajbIHmA54MJ-A - Finally, if you do not need full frame, I suggest you also consider a used D7100 or D7200 as they are still amazing cameras, but of course you have to find a copy that is not too beaten up and with a reasonable shutter count. Hope this helps!

You can still use your DX lenses by switching to the Nikon D750's 10.7 MP DX mode. BTW, Higher MP cameras are good for cropping as well. Not everyone has the right long focal length lens for all situations. Plus cropping for composition, unless the photographer was Henri Cartier-Bresson.

@@frederikboving The FX viewfinder just provided you with a DX mask for viewing. Although a hacked 10.5mm DX lens without the lens shade could cover almost the whole FF area. That would be the time you switch off the DX mode to disable the mask. Also, that was another reason for a higher MP FX camera, to get a higher MP DX mode. Such as 19.4 MP with the D850.

Yes, I see your point with the high MP. Probably should have gone for the D810 to re-use my DX lenses better! But I still have a feeling the DX lenses will be sitting on my D5600 more often than D750. With the 11-16 Tokina DX lens, the sensor captures exactly (= very close to) what I see in the viewfinder, including lens shade when going below 16 mm. With the Nikkor DX lens I can see more in the viewfinder than what the sensor captures. So it seems like Nikkor and non-Nikkor lenses behaves differently out-of-the-box. So I need to figure out how to disable the mask when using the Nikkor lens, if that is an option with the D750. Will study the manual. Thank you!

You can put the 18-35 on FX but only at 35mm you'll get vignetting levels low enough to fully remove in post production; making it an extremely heavy and oversized 35mm on your D750.. although usable. The D750 is a fantastic camera, a true allrounder with a great autofocus system. I own one aswell.. no need for the D850's massive filesize as I don't do astro-photography or landscapes. They couldn't have made a more allround FX full of options than the D750. I sold my D7100 together with the 18-35 a while ago.. but boy I miss the versatility of the Sigma.

Hi! I upgraded from D5600 to D750, and in terms of sharpness I see no difference! The D750 has better low light performance, better metering and much better autofocus system, but sharpness is the same. Also notice that if you have a lot of DX glass, then it may not be possible to use on a FX body (some DX can do it, some cannot (too much vignetting as it cannot cover the full area of the larger sensor)). I have no experience with Sony A7iii, but I do have the Sony RX100mk3 and it is excellent, so Sony can definately also make good cameras. The Z6 is (in my mind) very expensive, but as far as I can tell from reviews, it is a fantastic camera body and the EVF is one of the best ever made. So I guess all the options you are considering are good options, and that is why it is so difficult to choose. If you shoot a lot of landscape, I would look at the D810. If you shoot a lot of wildlife (birds) then I would look a the D500. If you need a good all-round camera, the D750 is a very good option and at a good price. FF has better low light performance, but if you do not shoot a lot in low light, you may not need it. If you need a lot of pixels because you shoot landscapes, then you should also look at the D810/D850 (both FF). Hope this helps.

@frederikboving
5 жыл бұрын
Hi Jay, if you go from D7500 to D750, then you go from APS-C to full frame. If you have many APS-C lenses, then they may not work (or only work for some focal lengths) on the D750. So you will need to upgrade your glass in that case. That can be a costly operation unless you are an e-bay shark and can get out of your old glass with a minimal loss. In general, upgrading to D750 means FF glass which is more expensive and more heavy. If you are on a tight budget, I would think twice before going for the D750. Switching to Sony is worse in terms of costs. The Sony A7II is also FF, so same problem here - the APS-C glass may not be useful + you will have to use an adaptor for your Nikon glass if you keep it. And then there might be other costs - for example I have Yongnuo N685 flashes for Nikon and hoped I could use them as optical slaves for my Sony, but no, the YN685 has no optical slave system! So now I also have to invest in new flashes. So if on a tight budget, I would stay with the D7500. Let me know if this was useful - happy to elaborate if I can be of help.

Hi Tuan, the D800 is an older camera than the D750 (2 years), so the D750 beats the D800 when it comes to e.g. AF system, FPS, low light performance, battery life and tilting screen. However, the D800 has one big advantage over the D750: Pixel count. The D800 has 36mp versus the D750 24mp. It also beats the D750 when it comes to max shutter speed and life expectancy.

I shoot events, landscape, cityscapes, streets n travel. Started with Nikon D5200 which started dragging me down with poor autofocus n lack of handy controls. God I missed so many great moments because it camera missed focus even on single point AF. So I decided to upgrade. For price I had to choose between D500 n D750. 750 is full frame and you get extra bokeh, low light performance n all is that bs. Its of no use if you don’t get focus in time for shot. 750 autofocus would be better than D5200 fosho. But D500 has the same AF as D5. Hands down best AF by Nikon. Landscapes don’t need most advanced focus system. But with any other type of work you do need that. Camera is a tool to capture moments. Easier it is to use better the results. I don’t see any good reason to upgrade to full frame just for the heck of it. I think D500 is the best option instead of 750. Just need faster glass for that bokeh n low light performance. Fast primes are best. Also, all my lenses are DX lenses. I will start collecting FX lenses which are super expensive compared to DX lenses. If find D500 is holding me back, I will switch to full frame. Its been a year I chose not to buy 750 and never regretted my decision when I see almost 100% shots in focus from a shoot without spending thousands upgrading lenses as well. Just get over the whole full frame bandwagon. It’s just slightly better in my opinion. Why not go medium format then? Even better right?

Hi Aditya, you make some good points. The D500 is by many called the king of DX and it is the preferred option for many pro wildlife and sport photographers. And of course I fully agree that a 100mp picture out of focus is 100mp wasted. Pictures in focus and a good AF system is key. Although I cannot prove it, it is my feeling that the gap between DX and FX over the recent years has narrowed and that DX has taken some giant steps to move closer to FX. And DX lenses are less expensive and lighter to carry. So most of us could probably do with DX and be fine. So by choosing FX of DX today I guess you only get a marginal improvement. The low light performance of my late D7500 was very close to what I see in the D750 - I think the new expeed processor has a lot to do with this. In terms of lenses, should you choose to buy some FX lenses, I can recommend the angry photographer and ken rockwell. They have pointed me to some great lenses that I bought used on e-bay for a bargain. I think that Canon and Nikon users have access to 40-50 years of used glass out there and you can make some mind blowing deals where you get top quality glass for next to nothing. The 50mm FX prime that I got is so sharp it is unbelievable. So you can get access to good FX glass without breaking the bank. I shoot a lot of low light photos. So low light performance AF wise is key to me, and the D750 is claimed to be top of the line here. I would agree based on approx 3 months of personal experience. That was one of the reasons I went for the D750. I hope it is clear from the video that I am not trying to convince anyone to make the same decision as me - I want to tell my story to give inspiration to others, and hopefully that will help them further in their decision process. So I am not an FX ambassador, I am just a photographer that went for a FX camera that I am now very happy to use. And I still have my D5600 in my kitchen window with a long lens on, ready to shoot the birds at the birdfeeder just outside. I know that a lot of experienced photographers are angy at newcomers and amateurs that talk a lot about technical aspects of gear and not about photography. I see the point. And the next discussion will probably be around mirrorless, 100mp and in camera stabilisers. Personally, I find 100mp (or even 46mp in the D850) a bit intimidating and the thought of doubling all my storage capacity on my PC, NAS and cloud services is not appealing to me. And I can see that the more resolution you get, the more sensitive to camera shake your camera gets. I drink too much coffee for 100mp... So no, 24mp is fine for me. I will stay in this range, I think. All talk about the technical aspects of camera gear takes away time to talk about photography as such, I've read somewhere. That is true. I have 5 videos on photograhy composition. They have in total been viewed 200 times. This video about my D750 has been viewed 30t+ times now! So based on this, the most people are not interested in photograpy, but selecting gear for photograhy. I don't know why it is like that. It just is. Market forces. So I think videos with camera reviews etc will be around for some time still. As will posts like this.

Hi Petronics, thank you! Just to make sure I get it right: (1) you have a Nikon D5300 body currently, (2) you want to upgrade the camera body (3) you want to stay with Nikon, (4) you want to stay with APS-C / cropped to be able to re-use your lenses (I assume), (5) video is less important (I assume). Upgrading within the 5x00 Nikon series (IMO) will not feel much of a upgrade. I have a D5600 and it has a pivoting touch screen, better dynamic range, better battery life, etc. You can see a detailed compare here: cameradecision.com/compare/Nikon-D5300-vs-Nikon-D5600 But as said, I think you will not feel it as much of an upgrade - for example, the sensor, processor and AF system is very much the same. To upgrade, I would look at D7100 and D7200. In my end of the world (Scandinacia), I can get a new D7200 within your AUD1100 budget, but prices may vary across the globe. Buying used, especially if you do so via an authorized dealer, is a smart way of saving money IMO. You may also get some good glass as part of the deal and still stay within budget. The dream APS-C camera in the Nikon range is the D500 but I think you would have to accept a used model with a high actuation count to stay within budget. If you shoot wildlife and sports, the D500 is the king. Happy hunting! Curious to hear what you eventually decide to go for!

The D750 was my second full frame DSLR after a used D700 (since sold) and I took it with me to Vietnam in April 2019. It performed very well in the hot & very humid conditions. I believe it is still a very viable system and have no problem recommending it, especially as the D780 comes in at $2,300.00 US. Best of luck with whatever you buy.

If you can wait, probably wise to do so - then you can compare the specs on the D750 and the D760 before making your decision. Tony Northrup has a video on projections for 2019 out where he talks about the upcoming D760, and this article nikonrumors.com/2018/12/04/nikon-d760-rumored-for-2019.aspx/ gives some idea what to expect, but not very specific yet as we are still some time away from the release date.

After doing some research of Nikon d750,it does 24 mp but it goes for around $900 and up. In my opinion you should've bought the Panasonic Lumix g85 for three hundred bucks cheaper. Yes it's 16 mp but the auto focus is amazing and it can record 4k for more than 8 hours without it over heating with no recording limit, you just need extra battery packs. 🤔
@frederikboving

I'm sure the Lumix G85 is a great camera and I know that James Popsys is very happy with this camera. However, it comes down to personal preferences: I have no need for 4K video and certainly no need for 8 hours of recording. I have lots of Nikon glass that I would like to continue to use (switching to Panasonic glass even if I sold my Nikon glass would be very expensive). The D750 is also known to have amazing autofocus and especially in low light situations; and that is where I really need it. So I continue to be very happy with my D750 based on my personal preferences. Yours are different. Hence the Panasonic. And we are both happy with our choices :-)

Uh, that is a tough question. I guess it depends on your needs and what is important to you. The D780 appears to be a combination of the D750 and the Z6. So when shooting in live-view mode it acts as a Z6, and when shooting in viewfinder mod, it is more like a D750. You can find more details in my blog post here: frederikboving.com/nikond780/ If I was to answer for myself, i.e. if the D780 is worth the extra money for what I need and what is important to me, the answer is a big no. I would like the D780, but the extra money I would rather spend on lenses and gear.

This could save you some money or at least give you some time to shoot with one of your current lenses while you save money for an FX lens. See this blog where I test one of my favourite APS-C lenses on a full frame camera: new2photogrphy.blogspot.com/2019/06/using-nikon-nikkor-dx-lenses-on-fx.html You can also buy a Nikon vintage lens on say e-bay to get a new lens on a budget: kzitem.info/news/bejne/y4aE1aSPnGSEhoo The D750 in my mind is fantastic value, and the price jump to the D810 is steep.

@@frederikboving IMHO the uptake of mirrorless will be slow. This is because there is a great inventory of DSLR cameras and associated lenses in the world. On top of that the cameras in mobile phones can take images that enable large scale prints to be made. The majority of the current young generation do not want to haul kilograms of glass and metal around to capture images. Software abounds that allows images from lesser devices than mirrorless cameras to be tarted up to look like competent images. I can take a D3 or D700 fitted with lenses of yesteryear and produce timeless large scale prints. I acknowledge you will have the look at me shooter with the latest and greatest hanging from their necks like a fashion accessory. We’ve seen that with hi tech running shoes used to walk or drive to the shops! Similarly snow bunnies on the slopes of Aspen dressed for arctic winters but never leaving the on slope cafe. The professional photographer may be expected to be seen with the latest gear, after all it’s a tax right off. But doesn’t need it to take great images. On top of that we have COVID-19 which is putting a brake on economies. Luxury items sales will slow. Folks will look for secondhand gear of quality instead of new. Discretionary spend will be away from photography. Travel has been severely affected which affects photographers. Weddings have been severely curtailed. I’m sure the birth rate will drop. This may be temporary but it will impact the development of mirrorless technology.

Hi mohammadreza! If your budget is limited so that you choices are down to choosing between what you list above, then it depends very much on what you are shooting. The D750 with a 50mm gives you no zoom, so I think that sounds like a challenge to work with. But of course, if you do mainly street photography, a 50mm may just be fine. And the D750 is stellar in low light. The D7500 and a6500 sound like better all round options. I do not know the Sony, but as it is a mirrorless it has some clear advantages in terms of what you can see on the screen and EVF prior to shooting. Also, the a6500 gets a really good review from DPREVIEW: www.dpreview.com/reviews/sony-alpha-a6500/10. So for a good all round camera I would probably go for the Sony, but you will not get the good ergonomics and intuitive user interface from the Nikon. If you can live with that, I would go with the Sony. But as always: It is your money and your decision. Make sure you REALLY understand what is important to you and use that to guide your decision. Only you know what your preferences are and hence which camera is the best for you. Hope whatever you choose, makes you a happy photographer!

If I shoot a bird or something where I really need to crop and sharpen, then I could use more mp, but I really can't justify paying 2-3 times as much for a camera when the D750 does the job so well as an all-round camera. The low light performance of the D750 continues to impress me - it litterally sees things in the dark that I cannot see with my eyes. Always exciting to see what the camera picked up when you lift the dark sections of a picture in Lightroom :-)

I only owned digital cameras before (most expensive one was a Sony, for $285 which I bought in 2009), I don't have much info. about new DSLR or Mirrorless cameras, but I intend to take courses and learn. I don't want to buy a cheap camera and then upgrade to a better and more sophisticated camera in the future. I want to buy a camera for a good amount of money which can stay with me for a long time before I buy a new one. I need someone to recommend a camera and a lens for me for a budget of about $1700 or less. I was searching for a good camera with a lens (kit) in this price range for days, and I reached to this conclusion: EOS 6D II, EOS 7D II APSC sensor, this Nikon D750 which I think is the best until now, and the Sony A7II. Among all these choices I found that 6D II is newest and has a fully-articulating touch screen, it's full frame yes, but they say it has a low dynamic range. The Sony might be the best specs-wise but the battery life is very short: 320 photos. The 7D II Canon has a much better shutter and AF-points than the D750 but the screen is non-touch and the sensor is not full frame, and no built in WiFi.

Hi Fadi, you have done a lot of good investigations! (Btw: the D750 has no touch screen either, and its screen only flips out, it is not articulating - you can tell it is a 4-5 years camera model...But it's low light performance is stellar) When I was newer to photography than I am now, I found that one of the most difficult questions to answer was: what type of photographer are you? (1) landscape, (2) events (wedding and birthdays), (3) friends and family, (4) vacations, (5) wildlife and sports, (6) products and still life (like food), (7) portraits, etc. The type of photography really drives the requirements to your gear (I think I will make a video about this!). So I started out with my smartphone as my camera. I added olloclip lenses (the alternative is Moments) to my smartphone and started shooting with that. That way I learned a lot about what kind of photos I want to take, and found that landscape was clearly dominating with still life a close follower. If you are not in a hurry to buy a new camera, I can recommend waiting af few months and try shooting with your smartphone to learn (more about) what kind of features is important to you. Then you may also see the D760 arriving, which I think will drive the price of the D750 further down. I have also later learned that if you want to do product and still life shooting, then you need to reserve budget for lights (both LED and flash light) to get good results.

He-he - welcome :-D Yes, have returned the support - got it! Not a big fisherman myself, but could see myself join the Canadian drone club!

If you have budget constraints, like most people, why buy a D750 with video capabilities. As you don’t use video, get a well used D700 and you’re set.

Uh, the D700! I have seen grown men crying after parting with their D700. Although I have never owned one, I sense that there was something magical about that camera. Good point if 12mp suffices.

@@frederikboving I still use a D700 along with my D500 :) I have been doing portrait/fashion work the last two years! I went between both cameras which have been great but I use the D700 more now because the results are great, file sizes are smaller and sorting out the photos is less hassle :) if I put them through lightroom :) I sometimes do 200-300 per shoot! which isn't bad at all! I tend to grab the D500 for event stuff where random things might happen, the D500 is a ninja for that stuff :)

keep watching your video all the time, current using d5500; consider d7500 recently, or the wait newer version of d500 or d7500 in coming two years;

Thank you! They are all good cameras - D500 is however something special; I think it by many is considered one of the best cameras Nikon has ever made, and probably the best camera with a cropped sensor. If you need many FPS, then the D500 is top of the line; it is the preferred option of many wildlife photographers.

Also considering upgrading to the D500 from my D5600, tried it a few times in the shop, the viewfinder is a joy to use, as is the joystick for AF point select, just all around a very nice body to use....
