Thread: Anyone using a Nikon D750

Funny coincidence but I'm looking at upgrading to either a 7200 or d750. From what I've read, d7200 has great low light performance and is now the top of the range for nikon dx cameras.
the question for me is whether i pay the extra $1000 for a fullframe camera or i spend that money on a quality lens.
I guess where d750 or any other fx camera would show its advantage when using shooting with lenses wide open f1.4 or f1.2.
I'll be following this post. It's an interesting one.

I am shooting with a D750 - I love it.

I went through the same thing a while back Lou... 610... 750...810... ????

The one thing I do miss with full frame is the 1.5 crop when I am shooting birds or similar at a distance.... it certainly helps "get closer"

I kept my D7000 as well, so it's not a major issue and I am learning to work with it. The big advantage from that point of view of a D810 is that even using crop mode you still have lots of pixels on the sensor

D7100 24MP
D810 36MP crop modes, 1.2x (25 MP), and 1.5x (15.3 MP)
D750 24MP crop modes 1.2 x (16.7MP) and 1.5X (10MP)


So depending what you shoot, if you intend to only keep one, I see a reason to stretch to the D810.

That said, I love the D750, landscapes and low light it is amazing. The Nikon trainer I was talking to last week, has access to anything...he told me currently the D750 is is favourite all round body. (He was using one on the walk.

Yeah plan to keep both. I don't really have a need for 36mp because I'm not printing huge pictures.

As for candeniz I would honestly say unless you have the good glass I would be inclined to by the D7200 and start putting the rest of the money towards good glass build up the glass and then do what I would like to do and buy a full frame once the glass is available. Otherwise I reckon you would feel hampered especially if you can only afford say on lense.

What I actually did was get a DX I bought one good FX lense and a couple of good DX lenses and over the years I started to slowly replace the DX stuff. I only have the ultra wide to change and I will have full range from 12mm to 200 in fast glass

The D810 is a pro quality camera and more solidly built. I use a D800 and it gets knocked around a lot. This is a big factor if you're out bush a lot I reckon. The D750 looks like a great camera too, many of the specs are the same, it has a flip out screen, it's 100grams lighter and a bit less bulky ...but, that's because it's not as solidly built. So it would be the D810 for me for durability.

Hi dullbird

I have a reasonable collection of lenses from when i used to shoot on my good old FE2. Ive got a 50mmf1.4, 28mm f2.8, 70-210mm f4-5.6 which are solid lenses and produce quality images. They are manual lenses so i really rely on a good focus system on my camera which is only a d3100. Focussing a manual lens on a digital camera is quite a challenge so d7100 or d750 d610 with 51 focus points would help a lot.

I also have a kit lens 18-55mm (plastic) and a samyang 8mm. These lenses are only good on dx cameras.

I mainly shoot architecture and portrait so need a wide angle lens and a fast prime lens like 50mm to achieve good bokeh.

My other concern is that the higher you go up the full frame range the bigger and heavier they get. Especially in an urban environment during travels, it is a bugger to carry around the camera and lenses on foot. I need something lighter. I even considered buying a fuji xt1 but cost factor is an issue and fuji lenses are very dear. Would not be an issue if i made a living on photography but that's not the case.

The sensors on dx cameras have much improved so much that the image quality is very close to full frame images. Would you notice the difference with naked eye? At what iso.. probably not up to 1600 but maybe beyond.

Anyway at the end of the day the question remains... dx or fx?

Then I think only you can answer that. . I think it will come down to what ever your compromises are.

For me I won't push to the D810 purely because of cost. The cost of one of these second hand I could almost get a D750 new. The weight thing doesn't bother me to much.

I will just struggle to spend the money when I have a very capable camera already.

There has just been a couple of instances when I have realised lately that having a FX would have been a real benefit.

No question, FX is better. But only if needed in a professional situation. A D750 would be awesome for most people's needs. Agree $1000 spent on a great FX lens now, would be better than on camera for most people. And you can always upgrade the camera later, then you already have the lens.
