D750

I purchased a D750 but returned it because I found the image quality to be about the same as my D600, even with the higher quality 24-120mm lens. I also bumped into some odd reflection/flare issues with this kit, although the serial number for the D750 I purchased was not listed as having this issue.

As a caveat to this review, keep in mind that unlike most I´m not upgrading from a DX-format DSLR to an FX DSLR, but a 35mm *film* SLR (Nikon N75# to a DSLR. As such, I can´t speak to how well DX lenses and whatnot work other than the mathematics of it, and not field tests.

But that being said, this body is solid. It accepts all of my FX-lenses #which was a major point--would hate to have gone DX and dealt with the crop factor# and the quality is at least as good as my N75 body if not better. Naturally there are more levers, knobs, and other customizations on the body over a film camera, but even with that the only real ´´placement´´ thing that I have to get used to is the AF/MF #Auto Focus/Manual Focus# switch works in the opposite direction. Oh No. Darn. All of the automatic modes are pretty foolproof. If you´re an amateur you can set everything to auto and still get a good snapshot, and if you´re an amateur that´s good at framing you can get a great photograph. If you´re a tinkerer or a semipro the option to go into full manual is still there which IMHO is a big plus--where you can set the Aperture, Shutter, and even the ISO #truth be told I´m in AutoISO more often than not, since that´s one less calculation I have to do in my head, but I can still set the ISO manually if I want to drill down an exposure precisely#.

With a 32GB SDXC and all settings on full I get about 580 shots total. Using 2 I can have one SD use RAW and another use JPEG. Coming from the film school of thought this is a lot better than 36 max shots--throw in AutoISO and you´re not constrained for the same ISO for all of the shots--a big plus on flexibility while still allowing the control power of being able to set everything manually if you so desire.

Again, from the film school of thought that every shot has to count, I don´t use burst or bracketing too much, so I´ve not run into the buffer issue. I´ve played around with both functions but not to the extent that for my style it´s a negative. Nikon also has a page where you can check to see if your camera is affected by the ´´lens flare´ problem. The site said mine wasn´t affected, and I tested this out by shooting with a bright light just off-frame.

The AF functions--especially subject tracking, are definitely more advanced than my N75. The body has a screw drive AF in it #so any lens without a focus motor can work# and it works as fast as my N75. For shots that I need the picture as soon as depress the shutter button, I´ll always go manual, but that´s just me. I´m sure you can get a fast-focusing AF lens that works with this camera, since at least in manual mode it will use just about every Nikon lens made since about 1956.

The only other complaint is the Smartphone App that comes with it--it´s virtually worthless. The only thing I think it could be useful for is geotagging your photos. While you can use it to ´´preview´´ your photos like the live view on the body, and control the shutter release remotely, whomever programmed this didn´t program it well enough--it doesn´t work in bulb or long exposure mode! Thankfully, the dirt cheap IR remote for Nikons woks for that mode and I can do hyper-long exposures without touching the camera or tripod.

But if the two biggest issues are the direction of the AF/MF and the fact that a Smartphone companion app is worthless, then it´s a good thing for the camera.

All in all I would highly recommend this DSLR.

the nikon D750 proves once again that nikon doesn´t care about their customers, and released yet another fully plastic camera. Although image quality isn´t questionable, because it´s exelent, i think it ridiculous to put a movable screen and a plastic body (instead of predecesor´s magnesuim body) in a 1900USD CAMERA, supposed to be professional.

I´ve owned Nikons for 50 years, including a decade spent in newspaper photojournalism, and the D750 is my best Nikon body yet. In the past decade I´ve upgraded every few years starting with the D50. I had been quite happy with the images produced by the D7000 but I wanted to begin to move towards full frame sensor. The D750 is a great transition as it can use both DX and FX lenses on the fly. The upgrade has been very worthwhile. The speed of autofocus, the processing speed when taking a dozen shots rapid fire and the ability to shoot at low light levels has been exhilarating. I´ve included a few photos of birds shot in the past week.

I bought this agile little gem just over a month ago for no-flash pics and I couldn´t be happier!
Let´s be frank, I am NOT a pro. But I am very discerning about the quality of the caps I take, and this camera does not disappoint. I wanted something to replace my lovable D90 so I could take gig-photos without the flash that so infuriates the bands. After a first night of pics at 3200 and 12,800 ISO, I am very much in love with this night-stalker! Even at 12,800, the grain is as aesthetically pleasing as a good film and there is no hot-pixel noise. And just to cap it off, a hand-held star pic isn´t out of the question. I´ll let a couple examples do the talking

I was super excited to receive the d750 for Christmas but I soon noticed a major issue with light metering. I´m a hobbyist but I am very familiar with camera settings and generally use manual or aperture priority modes when shooting. I also understand the different types of light metering. When I used this camera I was getting erratic exposures either over exposed or way underexposed. I thought it may be bracketing but that function was not on and there was no distinct pattern. I finally set up an experiment with my d3200 where I set both cameras to the same Iso, aperture, shutter speed and meitering modes. The d3200 had the proper exposure every time while the d750 had either badly over or underexposed shots. I´m returning the camera and hope there is no issue with getting my money back from B and H. It really stinks that I will have to wait up to 2 weeks to have the refund. The next time I´m going to purchase it from a ground store like Best Buy. Forget about saving on sales tax.

After a long layoff from photography, I regained my enthusiasm again back in 2009 when I took my dad back to his homeland in Switzerland. I have stepped up from the D300 to the D750 and cannot believe the difference in quality. Yes The D750 had issues in the beginning but Nikon quickly resolved those issues and that is why I will be a life long Nikonian.

Ive been using Nikon 5100 for 3 years before I upgraded to D750 and in every way its been a best decision.
The full frame and the vast iso range gives a good tool for night photography. The milkyway photos are so much nicer and crisp compared to a DX camera.
Nikon is leader in lense and i bet it will lead the way in future as well.
Love the tilting lcd screen feature in this model.

Own it from couple of days. Amazimg camera. Perfect for everything.
