"flip lcd unless you're shooting photos above your head". This is why you can't rely on reviewers. If you shoot anything low to the ground like newborn, pets or macros of flowers, the lcd is a godsend. Also when I shoot weddings, I like to get a shot of the couple from ground level with the church ceilings in a wide composition.
movax20h I bought the a7iii and the image quality and skin tones are nowhere near the 4 year old D750, I returned the a7iii and got the d750 w nicer glass, plus the feel of it in the hands is just far superior than that of the Sony or any mirror less in that aspect
@@NOKOT51 Great to know. Although I dislike Sony colors, I was so tempted by the α7 III when it came out, but decided to wait for any interesting deals later on. THANK GOD I waited all these months. Nikon discounted the D750, and B&H currently has a deal with the D750, Nikon battery grip, SD card, additional battery and a bag for $1396.95. I could not resist. That's just under $200 more than what I spent on my Nikon D70 back in 2005 with an 28-80mm and a 70-300mm.
Thank you for the awesome review! I bought my D750 10 days ago and even though I read many "low level short reviews" before and after my purchase yours hands down was the best. I have migrated from, not counting my Nikon film cameras, a D40 to a D90 to a D7100 and I finally made the leap to full frame, and the D750 was the right way to go. For me, there was too much controversy around the D600 and D610. I AM GLAD THAT I WAITED!!!!!
Many thanks for possibly the best camera review I have ever seen. Since I started in the days of the black & white darkroom I have seen a few:) You took the d750 through a difficult real world situation which really showed what the camera was capable of...both still & video. Then you provided the raw files for us to decide on them instead of wondering what the reviewers opinion really meant. Thank you very much for a review that actually answered all of my questions about this camera. I see one in my future :) Snuffy
Thank you Jared! The D750 looks to be the one camera that will replace my D7000. I was considering the D810, but the extra $1000 price for the 36MP sensor is too expensive.
I use the tilt screen for stills especially for long exposures when the camera is mounted on a tripod and down low for wide angle shots, very convenient. Great review Jared well done!
This review just saved me from what I now know to have possibly been a big waste of an upgrade haha, turns out this was exactly the type of camera I was needing for my focus and profession I've been really getting immersed in. Feel obliged to throw down a comment. Love the efficient editing and the straight to the point conduct of the whole bit. Easy to keep watching through the end and I now know exactly what I need to do in order to get my work to where I want it to be. Thank you.
Hi Jared, enjoy watching your camera reviews. After watching this one, seriously considering getting a D750( for video(for channel) & stills). Love Nikon for great low light capabilities. Have 2 Nikon D300's use them for capturing lightning during monsoon season here in SE AZ. Thank you for sharing.
Personally, I think the articulating LCD is very helpful when shooting macro photos. Specially if an insect is climbing on a wall, or so low on the ground. Plus, I don't want to pump my lens into things like trees or the floor. This something I wish my Canon 6D had!
I have the D750 but have never tried shooting video with it. Now at this point I wish it recorded at 4K or better yet 8K, but I can't deny the video you shot looks fantastic. I feel more confident about using it for some video recording. Fabulous review, great information. Thank you Jared! You rock.
seems that the problem of D750 apears here as well at 7:20, flare from the metal frame of the af focus sensor that is in the bottom part of the mirror box.
I think the tight grouping of the AF points explains it's superb auto-focusing. My hunch is that by doing so, they made the entire system more sensitive.
Can we get an updated review if the d750 still holds up on 2022?? Wanting ro go full frame.. I shoot mostly sports and my research keeps giving the d750 as an option but I'm worried to buy it being so old and need to upgrade again too soon for whatever reason..
I think the D750 is still the King of street photography in this day of 2020, I've passed up buying the D850 or mirrorless cameras because my D750 is still in great shape, although recently the Canon eon R5 caught my attention looks like ill be upgrading to that these holidays but it doesn't mean ill be giving up my D750. I only shoot 50mm and 85mm in street and been the best fun.
I am loving the new video work you guys are doing across all your content, it has really stepped up compared to your older videos... it looks so professional!!
Jared I've been watching your videos since I started photography and I have to say this is one you best videos. Thanks for the commitment to your videos and keeping us entertained and educated on new products!
Damn it! You convinced me to buy the D750. I have a D7200 and was "swinging" between buying the D7500 or join the team of full frames. And, in the field of FX, which one? I was afraid of such issue of flare in some situations and was waking up in the middle of the night with nightmares. Watching your videos about D750, I hit the hammer and I'll buy it on my trip to Orlando in September. Thanks for the full report. Regards.
3 things I want to see in this, 1) The top CASIO type display has got smaller (When compared to D7000, D7100 & D7200) and I really miss seeing the detail in what i'm shooting at, Whether JPG, RAW or RAW + JPG. Because I switch the modes depending the situation so i have to now press the info button to see what I have selected currently. 2) I feel that the front grip is not fat enough, its great that they have increased the depth of the grip but I would like it would have been little bit fatter than what is right now. 3) Lastly I love the fact that movie record button can be changed to ISO change option, however I really don't like the fact that every time I press dual purpose button like ISO or WB the info display turns on, Specially when changing ISO which your certainly do almost all the time. Because when I'm looking through the view finder & change the ISO all of a sudden I can see the screen lit up. Wish there is a way to turn that off. Other than that, all I can say is WOW WOW WOW WOW!!! This camera just blows my pants away. The problem is when you have such a awesome, brilliant, spectacular, incredible, cool camera your expectations rise up more than it should be, therefore these minor details kinda get in your nerves. But its something I can live with, but without the D750 now I don't think I can live :)
Thanks. It was great to be able to come back to this review after using the d750 for 6 months. You had great feedback and I can confirm I agree with all of it. Especially the backlight buttons.
Though I have upgraded to Z9 and S Line glass, I still use the D750 often. Truly a game changer from 7 years ago and still very relevant and great price.
The focuspoints are squised into middle because it is meant for later cropping in indesign when layouting a ex. Newspaper page. I know the frustrations of not being able to get into the edge. Good thing there is always manual focus which neatly is put on a turning switch on front left side facing the back of the camera your self. Besides that you can put ae-lock as af-on and turn camera to the side so you can get it out of focuspoint range. Third solution shoot dx-crop. The points fit in nicely there and the many pixels allow a nice cropping too.
To get the AF points more spread out in the viewfinder you need a bigger module and bigger secondary mirror. That would make the whole system MUCH more expensive and I am not even sure if that would fit into a Nikon body. So they really aren't spread out more on the DX cameras like my D7000. They just cover more of the sensor because it is smaller than a FX sensor and the viewfinder pretty much represents what the sensor sees. But anyway! Great review! I really like the that this camera fits in. It's "better than a D610, but not quite a D810".
about your comment on the af points at around 21:00 i would assume that the auto focus points are grouped closer to the center to fit dx lenses. when dx lenses are used the outer focus points would place closer to the edge of the frame ;D
shooting with a 600 from the endzone.. my plan was to get a 50-500 and do the same thing. i own canon and someone sent me a nikon 50-500.. now im thinking of getting a d750 to get into nikon.. or just sending it back...
Thanks Jared, great review. While football is hard, lacrosse is harder -- the game moves much faster and the focus of action can move from one side of the field to the other in no time. Thanks to this review I know have a new target for getting out of DX.
the AF points being squashed is due to them using the same cam3500 module for DX and FX cameras, so while it's nicely spread out in DX camera, there will be all squashed in the middle on FX< they really need to develop FX specific CAM modules.
I just wonder if it makes more sense to use a D7100 in crop mode then you could get 400mm out of a 70-200mm 2.8 I wonder if that sensor has got enough ISO range to shoot that kind of event at night?
Yes. And it's a pain in the arse when you have to focus on eyes and then move the camera to reframe. Do this with an aperture at f1.4 and even that slight movement to reframe can give you blurred eyes.
I guess Im asking randomly but does any of you know of a method to get back into an instagram account..? I was stupid forgot the account password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me.
@Kole Melvin i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm in the hacking process now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Can someone please help.. how is he able to focus effortlessly in video. What type of focusing settings are used here.... I can't see back AF button being pressed while shooting video... Please can someone help
11:14 I heard some old time Nikoners say the opposite, like they changed something on this D750. What did they change if that's true? I'm about to move to Nikon so this is my first one, not that I care having different buttons or something but did they actually change something or that's wrong?
Awesome review Jared. I am a hobbyist and currently use a Nikon D5100 camera. It's OK but need to get more creative with bokeh and event photography. A full frame is probably the way to go since majority of good lenses are for full frame cameras. The D750 is definitely something I would consider. Cheers from down under (Australia).
The pull out lcd would be good for real estate images where you pull back as far into a corner as poss and room to correct distortion, up to now the vertical viewfinder attachment has been one of the only good quick options, this 'could' improve on this without twisting your back and neck around - I've not tested the actual screen yet.
Taking the time to do your research and mostly, watch these hands on reviews from the pro's is the best thing anyone can do before putting down a big chunk of change for a camera, or anything for that matter.
+jared polin - the flip out LCD is really handy for high angle work on a tripod. E.g. Shooting detail/abstracts on tall buildings. Also good for low work on a tripod. I've used it for both with manual focus and live view to punch in to refine the focus. (The low work was not my d750 buy my em5 , but same idea)
The angled screen is also good for photos at low angles, IF you do manual focus. I do this all the time on my gh4 + Nikon glass, of course the gh4 has focus peaking to assist manual focusing.
+Maxwell Starr Sadly the A99 isn't a DSLR though, it is a mirrorless. I think many are still sticking away from Mirrorless cameras until the technology and etc matures more, especially in AF abilities
+Vueey Le Technically speaking the A99 is still a DSLR. DSLR, meaning 'Digital Single Lens Reflex', means that there is a Reflex mirror that reflects light out of the viewing path to aid with framing and focusing. What's different is Sony's implementation of it, where the reflected light goes into an always-on focus system and the mirror never moves. Mirrorless implies no mirror at all, and he smaller size/shorter flange distance that comes with scrapping the mirror. Sony's branding of it as 'SLT' Single Lens Translucent' was unfortunate however because now you have plenty of people saying they're not DSLRs (they're not traditional DSLRs but still DSLRs). But the term 'Reflex' doesn't mean moving mirror, after all, the mirrors didn't move in TLR (Twin-Lens Reflex) cameras like the Rolleiflex.
In my opinion, your best review that I have seen to date. This is possibly because of the real world setting and subject. Would really like to see what the 810 would do at a high school football game at night, then compare the two to help decide between the two cameras. Looking to finally upgrade from my trusty D700.
I'd use the flip out screen for shooting close to the ground macros like small flowers or insects. The problems I've had without a flip out screen include laying in mud, a sore neck, and camera shake. I think this camera looks great BTW, thanks for the review!
I have tried to see how we can work around the buffer issues..what I have found is..we can shoots in bursts of around shots and give half a second or one..and keep shooting in bursts..till the SD Card is full :D
Guys, on 2 of the provided files, theres a lot of noise on them (the one shot at 2500 iso and the other at 1600) , I understand that the iso isn't low but how the heck theres a ton of noise on both pictures ? I was thinking about getting this camera specially for the low light capability but now I am thinking twice.
I am trying to decide between the D750 or Canon's 5D Miii. I am a hobbyist, but would like to eventually take professional photos by shooting portraits, weddings, etc. Which would you suggest?
Tilty Screens are important also for photos in my opinion. My photo that ended up being featured on the official flickr blog was possible because i was able to frame it correctly by using the tilty screen on my 70D. Otherwise i wouldnt have been able to come up with the shot. It's just unfortunate that Canon hasn't come up with a full frame body with that kind of a screen yet. But if they do, I will definitelly go for it.
I agree that the d750 seems to be an awesome piece of equipment (with the right glass). In regards to the tilt screen, I find it very beneficial seeing as I'm not '6"4 for high shots or '4"2 for low shots. The stigma of "if a professional does it then the world is in balance" is bologna (not being negative, don't get me wrong). This my first time checking out the Fro Dude (Jared) and I appreciate his feedback.
i'm loving mine d750. but i had a problem with the wifi system when i most needed. it seems to be good now for no reason. but one thing that its annoying me, since i came from the d3, is i keep changing my shutter speed by acident, it should have a bump to hold the thumb.
Hope more Nikons have the tilting LCD screen. Other manufacturers like Canon and Sony have had them for a while. Some pro's don't want to use it (some might even be against it) but no harm in having the option there, right?
Hey Jared great review! I wish you would had edited the raw pictures of the d810 and d750 in a video. Just wishful thinking! I just bought a I shoot raw shirt! Yeah!
in 2018 -2019 best buy in nikon d 750 or canon 6d mark ii or sony a7 m2 or sony a7 m3 which is the best for home use photograph and architecture photo........pls do the need full advice........very confuse....
I do portrait photography and weddings but also do sports photography in the fall. I was between the D500 & D750... I have enough to buy a 750 but should I keep saving to get the d500 to be safe for sports or will the 750 be good enough? I'm leaning towards the d500 though because of the AF points, the buffer and because the technology is more recent than the 750 but I like the 750's depth of field and I feel it's better for portrait photography and weddings but not sure which route to go. Wish I could afford both.
I have one for 9 months ago. I regret it. It is unstable: - autofocus does not work at times; - my personal settings tend to disappear; - buffer is slow at times All this resulting in missing shots! I've had it send back to Nikon again! Also I had this "flare issue" so mine was already gone for 2,5 weeks. I have been shooting Nikon DSLR cameras since the Nikkormat FTN. They built solid cameras thoughout the years. Now, I do have my doubts. Not recommended, but hey: you choose
Very nice review. I am looking forward for comparison of D610, D750 and D810. Can you split the final summary of these three cameras for videographers and for photographers? I would like to upgrade to FX and I am thinking about D610 or D750 + Tamron 24-70mm 2.8 VC. I am not sure if it's just me but I am taking video very rarely so video features are not so important for me in overall comparison.
I need to shoot real estate. I don't know how to take pictures with windows, it's very bright. I have set up bracketing exposure in my Nikon 750. How I can overlay 3 photos with different exposure if I do not have a Photoshop? Is there any functions in camera? Or some free app?
Thank you so much for explaining it in detail, and I'm a show and visual kind of person. So, I'm really glad that you explain how the features would be beneficial for.
Hi Fro, I wish you could make a video about shooting video with the d750 and the focussing modes and focussing techniques to use. I'm still struggeling with that... Thanks! Thomas
well, i could give u one good use for the display : did you know that you can use zoom in live mode? So if you're taking a night sky, for example, you could focus on a star with the zoom capability... MF + zoom on live mode is awesome...
If you're shooting cars, you want to get a low angle, so when you're photographing multiple cars quickly, such as at a car show, it's much easier to flip out the screen than to bend down each time, so that's one use of the flippy outy screen.
I have the Nikon 7100 and thinking up grading to the Nikon 750 after looking at your review. I have a 35 mm and 50 mm prime lenses. My question is which prime lens do you suggest for the D750? I do shoot weddings, landscapes, and some sports. Thanks in advance
Great review. I made up my mind to finally purchase the D750 instead of the D810 just a few days ago, which I can save some bucks to invest in more glass. And thanks for the tips and tutorials man, your assistance has brought me to a higher level photographer
Hi Jared. Thanks for reviewing the Nikon D750 for us. I must say after watching the series you have done a very good job of introducing the camera and its features to us. I'm pleased to say that I have purchased my 1st FX camera and it's the Nikon D750. I sold the D7100 that I had with no regrets. I have installed the new update for this camera which was very easy to accomplish. When time permits could you review or recommend a super wide angle f/2.8 or lower FX lens for this camera? All the best for 2015!
TeK RaVeN I don't have the D7100 but i have the D7000 - it was my first camera because I really wanted a bang for buck and wanted the magnesium alloy body that the D3000's and d50000's don't have. Anyway, i've been using it for about 5 months and it's been really great to learn on. The D7100 i believe only has more AF points and more megapixels than the D7000, probably also updated firmware, of which mine is stock. I've used my friends Canon 650D recently with his 18-55 and to be honest it was a lot harder to control than my D7000. The D7000 I believe is the cheapest camera which has the two dials (one at your thumb, one at your pointer finger), which are used for changing apeture and shutter speed. ISO also is easy to get to, by holding a button and scrolling the apeture dial. Really, i can't offer much help without knowing your gear history, but that was my small intro.
I shoot stills of pets from ground level. The screen tilt that you find not much use, is indispensable for this. There are other things to shoot from ground level. If your subject is interesting, the shot is enhanced by an angle that most don't get to experience.
Absolutely brilliant video. Comprehensive and really clear. Thanks for taking the time Jared. I am tempted to sell my D800 for one of these. I need the 1080p 60fps for video as I do more video than stills.
I sold my D610 and got the D750. It was worth the switch. Get the D750 and the 50mm 1.8. You will not regret it.
S Tra On your camera, so you can regret your regret
I “only” have a d700 but I LOVE my 50mm 1.8.
@S Tra your parents
@S Tra leave teddy alone
what's the biggest difference between the D750 and D610? I currently have a D610 and am looking to get a second body.
"flip lcd unless you're shooting photos above your head". This is why you can't rely on reviewers. If you shoot anything low to the ground like newborn, pets or macros of flowers, the lcd is a godsend. Also when I shoot weddings, I like to get a shot of the couple from ground level with the church ceilings in a wide composition.
You made a good review on the D810. Now you made an even better for the D750.
Only the environment wasn't as interesting in my opinion.
Phenomenal noise performance at high ISO. Probably still the best camera 4 year later.
movax20h I bought the a7iii and the image quality and skin tones are nowhere near the 4 year old D750, I returned the a7iii and got the d750 w nicer glass, plus the feel of it in the hands is just far superior than that of the Sony or any mirror less in that aspect

@@NOKOT51Yup. Thanks! God bless!
I know this camera is great, but come on is anyone still complaining about Sony's color? Sony A7 iii is just the best camera on the planet

You've really upped the quality of your videos Jared. Very good content.
At 6:27 you could've pre-focused on the ground and get some great stills of the players.
about your comment on the af points at around 21:00 i would assume that the auto focus points are grouped closer to the center to fit dx lenses. when dx lenses are used the outer focus points would place closer to the edge of the frame ;D

the AF points being squashed is due to them using the same cam3500 module for DX and FX cameras, so while it's nicely spread out in DX camera, there will be all squashed in the middle on FX< they really need to develop FX specific CAM modules.
The direct audio from the camera was surprisingly good.
I just wonder if it makes more sense to use a D7100 in crop mode then you could get 400mm out of a 70-200mm 2.8 I wonder if that sensor has got enough ISO range to shoot that kind of event at night?
Is it me, or all full frame DSLRs scrunch up the AF points in the middle of the frame? Correct me otherwise.
Yes. And it's a pain in the arse when you have to focus on eyes and then move the camera to reframe. Do this with an aperture at f1.4 and even that slight movement to reframe can give you blurred eyes.
I guess Im asking randomly but does any of you know of a method to get back into an instagram account..?
I was stupid forgot the account password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me.
@Kyle Jayden Instablaster ;)
@Kole Melvin i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm in the hacking process now.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Can someone please help.. how is he able to focus effortlessly in video. What type of focusing settings are used here.... I can't see back AF button being pressed while shooting video... Please can someone help
11:14 I heard some old time Nikoners say the opposite, like they changed something on this D750. What did they change if that's true? I'm about to move to Nikon so this is my first one, not that I care having different buttons or something but did they actually change something or that's wrong?
Awesome review Jared. I am a hobbyist and currently use a Nikon D5100 camera. It's OK but need to get more creative with bokeh and event photography. A full frame is probably the way to go since majority of good lenses are for full frame cameras. The D750 is definitely something I would consider. Cheers from down under (Australia).
The pull out lcd would be good for real estate images where you pull back as far into a corner as poss and room to correct distortion, up to now the vertical viewfinder attachment has been one of the only good quick options, this 'could' improve on this without twisting your back and neck around - I've not tested the actual screen yet.
Hello @Jared Polin, at 10:26 of this video, what type of ball head are you using for the hot shoe? Thanks!
Love your videos. Always go straight to you when I want a good review for something
"Real World"
Uses $10,000+++ lenses
+Mert Kabakci it was a joke...
but but.. isn't it about the camera tho....??
Not only that but only shoots sports lmao I dont think most buyers will be buying this camera for sports. thats what the d500 is for
Or you could be like me and own both cameras. One for action and the burst shooting function, the other for FX positives and higher MP sensor.
He rented them, plenty of photographers who aren't filthy rich do that.
The AF points are spread out exactly like on your D4S. Same Multi-CAM 3500FX AF system.
farturas81 I wasn't are of that.
Taking the time to do your research and mostly, watch these hands on reviews from the pro's is the best thing anyone can do before putting down a big chunk of change for a camera, or anything for that matter.
Kick ass video / review ... Love your real world tests, Jared. Thanks for sharing with us ...
Jared, outstanding review. Your tone in this one the perfect combination of animated and serious/informational. Thanks.
SeeMeBeSeen thank you.
+jared polin - the flip out LCD is really handy for high angle work on a tripod.
E.g. Shooting detail/abstracts on tall buildings.
Also good for low work on a tripod.
I've used it for both with manual focus and live view to punch in to refine the focus. (The low work was not my d750 buy my em5 , but same idea)
Is this camera still worth buying in 2018?
Still a great camera man it surprises me every time i own 2 d750 and one D500 and a Canon 80D i like all of them but i use the D750 the most.
The angled screen is also good for photos at low angles, IF you do manual focus. I do this all the time on my gh4 + Nikon glass, of course the gh4 has focus peaking to assist manual focusing.
First Nikon Full Frame camera to have a pull out screen. Sony's A99 has had a tilt-swivel screen for 2 years now.
+Maxwell Starr Sadly the A99 isn't a DSLR though, it is a mirrorless. I think many are still sticking away from Mirrorless cameras until the technology and etc matures more, especially in AF abilities
+Vueey Le Technically speaking the A99 is still a DSLR. DSLR, meaning 'Digital Single Lens Reflex', means that there is a Reflex mirror that reflects light out of the viewing path to aid with framing and focusing. What's different is Sony's implementation of it, where the reflected light goes into an always-on focus system and the mirror never moves. Mirrorless implies no mirror at all, and he smaller size/shorter flange distance that comes with scrapping the mirror.
Sony's branding of it as 'SLT' Single Lens Translucent' was unfortunate however because now you have plenty of people saying they're not DSLRs (they're not traditional DSLRs but still DSLRs). But the term 'Reflex' doesn't mean moving mirror, after all, the mirrors didn't move in TLR (Twin-Lens Reflex) cameras like the Rolleiflex.
The Sony a500 my dad has (6 year old camera) is pretty good and has a tilt screen
Jared this is your best photo shoot every.
In my opinion, your best review that I have seen to date. This is possibly because of the real world setting and subject. Would really like to see what the 810 would do at a high school football game at night, then compare the two to help decide between the two cameras. Looking to finally upgrade from my trusty D700.
I'd use the flip out screen for shooting close to the ground macros like small flowers or insects. The problems I've had without a flip out screen include laying in mud, a sore neck, and camera shake. I think this camera looks great BTW, thanks for the review!
That football team must have felt like they were in the big leagues with all that attention.
Another great video Fro!
The lo viewfinder angle helps for night sky with camera ~ on tripod aimed up, pointing up at a high angle, live view focusing on stars etc.
I have tried to see how we can work around the buffer issues..what I have found is..we can shoots in bursts of around shots and give half a second or one..and keep shooting in bursts..till the SD Card is full :D
How about shooting with a d3200 with the same conditions at a high school football game?
Guys, on 2 of the provided files, theres a lot of noise on them (the one shot at 2500 iso and the other at 1600) , I understand that the iso isn't low but how the heck theres a ton of noise on both pictures ? I was thinking about getting this camera specially for the low light capability but now I am thinking twice.
You worry too much about freezing the motion. They're moving. Show that in the shots. Still, amazing shots, especially the high ISO stuff.
I am trying to decide between the D750 or Canon's 5D Miii. I am a hobbyist, but would like to eventually take professional photos by shooting portraits, weddings, etc. Which would you suggest?
Tilty Screens are important also for photos in my opinion. My photo that ended up being featured on the official flickr blog was possible because i was able to frame it correctly by using the tilty screen on my 70D. Otherwise i wouldnt have been able to come up with the shot.
It's just unfortunate that Canon hasn't come up with a full frame body with that kind of a screen yet. But if they do, I will definitelly go for it.
Switching to DX mode will allow for 19 shots vs 12 shooting in FX mode at 14-bit RAW before the buffer fills.
+Kenji Shiroma Yes, with 11mp images. The particular situation would dictate whether it is worth the trade-off.
how does he get does dynamic colors in the photos ? is it because of shooting in raw format or is it post prossesing in the computer or what ?
I agree that the d750 seems to be an awesome piece of equipment (with the right glass). In regards to the tilt screen, I find it very beneficial seeing as I'm not '6"4 for high shots or '4"2 for low shots. The stigma of "if a professional does it then the world is in balance" is bologna (not being negative, don't get me wrong). This my first time checking out the Fro Dude (Jared) and I appreciate his feedback.
Thanks for the review. Great job! I have D700, old guy, and now want to change and still considering between D750 and D810.
Another great real world review, Jared. Keep up the good work!
i'm loving mine d750. but i had a problem with the wifi system when i most needed. it seems to be good now for no reason. but one thing that its annoying me, since i came from the d3, is i keep changing my shutter speed by acident, it should have a bump to hold the thumb.
Hope more Nikons have the tilting LCD screen. Other manufacturers like Canon and Sony have had them for a while. Some pro's don't want to use it (some might even be against it) but no harm in having the option there, right?
Shooting football with any equipment is fun, but this video has given me some things to think about as I look at replacing my D60. Thanks!
Jared, the screen is awesome for macro as well ;)
I used that feature in sony cameras and I missed that in nikons.
Hey Jared great review! I wish you would had edited the raw pictures of the d810 and d750 in a video. Just wishful thinking! I just bought a I shoot raw shirt! Yeah!
in 2018 -2019 best buy in nikon d 750 or canon 6d mark ii or sony a7 m2 or sony a7 m3 which is the best for home use photograph and architecture photo........pls do the need full advice........very confuse....
Why do you record a video for UA-cam with 24 instead of 30 frames?
Just upgraded to 750... shooting sports photography.. would love some help!
change your auto focus to afc and put it on 3d mode
at 7:20 there is the lens flare that Nikon D750 is known for :)
Oh boy there it is.
Jared Polin And oh boy, that shouldn't happen on an expensive camera. FFS.
+Cpongen no way, that suuuucks!
+Jared Polin where?
well i bought it already, after seeing this video hoping mine didnt this problem, and i got lucky, great camera!
Great work with the review, the lighting for the video was fantastic.
I do portrait photography and weddings but also do sports photography in the fall. I was between the D500 & D750... I have enough to buy a 750 but should I keep saving to get the d500 to be safe for sports or will the 750 be good enough? I'm leaning towards the d500 though because of the AF points, the buffer and because the technology is more recent than the 750 but I like the 750's depth of field and I feel it's better for portrait photography and weddings but not sure which route to go. Wish I could afford both.
I have one for 9 months ago. I regret it. It is unstable:
- autofocus does not work at times;
- my personal settings tend to disappear;
- buffer is slow at times
All this resulting in missing shots!
I've had it send back to Nikon again!
Also I had this "flare issue" so mine was already gone for 2,5 weeks.
I have been shooting Nikon DSLR cameras since the Nikkormat FTN. They built solid cameras thoughout the years. Now, I do have my doubts.
Not recommended, but hey: you choose
Very nice review. I am looking forward for comparison of D610, D750 and D810. Can you split the final summary of these three cameras for videographers and for photographers?
I would like to upgrade to FX and I am thinking about D610 or D750 + Tamron 24-70mm 2.8 VC. I am not sure if it's just me but I am taking video very rarely so video features are not so important for me in overall comparison.
I need to shoot real estate. I don't know how to take pictures with windows, it's very bright. I have set up bracketing exposure in my Nikon 750. How I can overlay 3 photos with different exposure if I do not have a Photoshop? Is there any functions in camera? Or some free app?
Thank you so much for explaining it in detail, and I'm a show and visual kind of person. So, I'm really glad that you explain how the features would be beneficial for.
Hi Fro, I wish you could make a video about shooting video with the d750 and the focussing modes and focussing techniques to use. I'm still struggeling with that...
Thanks! Thomas
well, i could give u one good use for the display : did you know that you can use zoom in live mode? So if you're taking a night sky, for example, you could focus on a star with the zoom capability... MF + zoom on live mode is awesome...
Is there no wind noise in the audio?
If you're shooting cars, you want to get a low angle, so when you're photographing multiple cars quickly, such as at a car show, it's much easier to flip out the screen than to bend down each time, so that's one use of the flippy outy screen.
Felt like I was at the ball game with my dad. Thank you for this great review, sir
Great review....eoshd ranked the video for being the most capable dslr right now....glad to see nikon stepping up video...
I have the Nikon 7100 and thinking up grading to the Nikon 750 after looking at your review. I have a 35 mm and 50 mm prime lenses. My question is which prime lens do you suggest for the D750? I do shoot weddings, landscapes, and some sports. Thanks in advance
What is "compressed raw"?
how is the focus for the Video, looks like it was stable on Focus, is the Lens set to M or M/A?
Thanks Jared, sound like the Nikon D750 might just be the Nikon I've been waiting to get next.
Great review. I made up my mind to finally purchase the D750 instead of the D810 just a few days ago, which I can save some bucks to invest in more glass. And thanks for the tips and tutorials man, your assistance has brought me to a higher level photographer
+Marcus Souksi ur holding ur cam in weird way... i guess...
+InstitutCrear The guy took the photo before I was even 'posing'
Hi Jared.
Thanks for reviewing the Nikon D750 for us. I must say after watching the series you have done a very good job of introducing the camera and its features to us. I'm pleased to say that I have purchased my 1st FX camera and it's the Nikon D750. I sold the D7100 that I had with no regrets. I have installed the new update for this camera which was very easy to accomplish.
When time permits could you review or recommend a super wide angle f/2.8 or lower FX lens for this camera? All the best for 2015!
How was the D7100. I am thinking about buying one.
TeK RaVeN I don't have the D7100 but i have the D7000 - it was my first camera because I really wanted a bang for buck and wanted the magnesium alloy body that the D3000's and d50000's don't have. Anyway, i've been using it for about 5 months and it's been really great to learn on. The D7100 i believe only has more AF points and more megapixels than the D7000, probably also updated firmware, of which mine is stock. I've used my friends Canon 650D recently with his 18-55 and to be honest it was a lot harder to control than my D7000. The D7000 I believe is the cheapest camera which has the two dials (one at your thumb, one at your pointer finger), which are used for changing apeture and shutter speed. ISO also is easy to get to, by holding a button and scrolling the apeture dial.
Really, i can't offer much help without knowing your gear history, but that was my small intro.
TeK RaVeN Don't hesitate on the D7100 it is a excellent camera...HB
MrKyleDD
thank you.
Harold Bell
thank you for the help.
Does the d750 still only give compressed raw files? Is there an uncompressed solution now?
Really enjoying your videos, man. Trying to figure out what camera to buy to get started. Thinking the 750 will do the job. 🙋🏼📷
Can a reviewer/youtuber be any better? No!. Damn! What a great work! Thanks Fro!
I shoot stills of pets from ground level. The screen tilt that you find not much use, is indispensable for this. There are other things to shoot from ground level. If your subject is interesting, the shot is enhanced by an angle that most don't get to experience.
Absolutely brilliant video. Comprehensive and really clear. Thanks for taking the time Jared. I am tempted to sell my D800 for one of these. I need the 1080p 60fps for video as I do more video than stills.
if I have a d7500 and want to upgrade to full frame what is the best DSLR to go to? can't decide?!?
