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.

Film guy reviews D750..
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 downMy 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.
