Nice writeup on the Nikon 750

Very impressive 5 stop under exposure recovery..test. Used plus 5 stops in LR. The recovered shot looks pretty good to me. A lot of samples from wedding shots in the writeup and compare his workhorse nikons to the new 750.

It made me think back to days of film. I might push 1-3 stops, but by 3 using tri-x, grain was pretty obvious as I remember (been over 20 years since I last pushed tri-x). I can't imagine how thin the negative would be pushed 5 stops.

Used mine under low light and it is very impressive. Not a pro build camera , but still very good.

That's crazy! I thought my D800E was good where you probably could unexpose -3 stops and recover it..but -5 and recover it..that's awesome!

once upon a time

the only thing a Nikon 750 could be

was the 750 exposure film back for the Nikon F2.

Will this camera finally send used D700 prices down where they should be? 😀

Used one yesterday.

Seems that Nikon can't help making some bad taste errors each time they release something for now : the D750 has no PC socket... 🙄

Otherwise, this is really a very very very nice camera, with IMO the best grip ever on a DSLR (for average-sized hands) and a superb build quality.

And - it's overall smaller than the Df, and has a better viewfinder.

So far after a week of use I'm extremely pleased with my D750. Light, easy to handle. great ergonomics, lots of dynamic range and just about everything else I wanted.

John - was this your first Nikon FX or an upgrade? I have a D700 and I'm making myself a bit insane over the D750 vs D810 upgrade path.

Best,

This is my first FX Nikon. Previously I owned a pair of D90's. So far the only shortcoming I've found is the limited in-camera B&W. I enjoy using my Sony a6000 in this mode with b&w views on both the EVF and rear screen. I do however find the tilting LCD screen to be very handy.

I too considered the D810 but due to size/weight considerations and because I really didn't have a pressing need for the 36mp sensor and because I was more interested in the D750 frame rate, I opted for the 24mp camera.
