I have a Leica IIc, an Argus C3, and a Nikon D750. Among other cameras. The D750 is a stable, solid camera that consistently performs. Newer cameras may have more pixels, faster auto-focus, and weigh less. But many times I return to the D750 if I want a camera that will just work.

Yup, I bought a D750 a few years ago to use solely as my film digitizer, which works very well. Recently I was asked to document some folks in the last No Kings march which was a perfect situation for digital; I shot several hundred frames along with some short video segments with the Nikon using a cheap Nikkor AF zoom and results were great. I was kind of blown away by how intuitive and comfortable the camera was in a relatively fast paced documentary environment.

My only digital camera is a D700 and it does everything I need. I shoot it with auto and manual focus lenses.

Another thumbs up for the D750. I love mine.

Same here, the D750 is my work-horse camera.. It never gets in the way of any task that I throw at it.

The Nikon D780 is my full frame digital camera. Works great and I'm happy with the image quality of the 24mm - 120 f4. kit lens that came with it.

For several years, I shot a Nikon D1x and a D2H. I loved those cameras, but as I grew older, I really started to notice the weight and bulk of the system. So I eventually sold all the Nikon gear and moved to a micro 4/3 system. Still, I really do miss those cameras. They were built like tanks and super easy to use, and the images were outstanding.

Canon Sold More DSLRs in 2024 Than Fujifilm Sold Total Digital Cameras
While the DSLR market is shrinking, it's still quite large, and Canon owns nearly all of it.

I have a D700 that’s great, but I’m eyeing a D750 to replace it.

I picked up a used D750. My D700's battery door fell off; that's how much I've used it! I'm not done with it! The D750 is nice, but I still like my D700. who needs a tilting screen, anyway. There is still duct tape for my D700.

I picked up a Z8 a few months back--I really kind of needed the frame rate and high ISO performance for shooting pro boxing--but I still keep my D810. For one thing, it produces images that, other than missing a few pixels, equal those from the Z8. It's got an optical viewfinder, which I prefer. And it can use all my autofocus lenses, not just those with internal motors. I do have a few screw-drive AF lenses still that I really like, and I'd love one day soon to score a 135mm/F2.0 DC lens, which would be MF only on a mirrorless camera.
Nikon DSLRs will be rockin' and relevant for a while to come.

I still have my D810 and a couple of zooms, the image quality has hardly been bettered.
I also have a D500 with a 200-500mm for birding, wildlife and surfing. I have yet to find a mirrorless alternative, certainly not from Nikon...

Why do you recommend the D780?

The D780 is awesome...but the last of its kind. I also, have a soft spot for the D610, which punches well above its "weight class".

The 750 is nice. The 780 is nicer.
But: The Z5II is nicest. A short and not scientific test showed me that the 3d tracking is even better than the 780´s.

I have a D750 also and I think it is awesome. Sometimes I use my D80 when I want to shoot with a crop sensor (makes my 80-200 f/2.8 zoom into 300 just like that) and I also have a D7000 which I have never warmed up to and have even considered selling. But the D750 is on a whole nother level in terms of image quality.
