Hi I'm a Nikon user for past 30 years and own a D750 (still have a FM2 also :). Loved your video. I would really love to see astrophotography results with 20 mm f1.8 lens. Thanks.
Love my D750. I'd consider buying a D780 (which looks to be the same handling wise - and even more of a low-light monster) and keeping the 750 as a spare body. I'd sell the 610 I've been keeping as a spare. I don't shoot weddings, so no need of a second active camera with a different lens on it, but cameras *do* fail - or get dropped). Having a spare saved my shooting days the last time I was in NZ (other side of the planet for me). I don't print big enough (or crop down far enough) to need more than 24mp, but the more dynamic range I can capture the happier I am in post.
I've owned Nikons for 50 years plus and the D750 is my choice for daily use. Rich colors, tone, reliability and when people see the final product vs the cost of a new mirrorless it sells itself. You've done a great service for many users who don't feel the need to jump to "latest & greatest" .... thanks :)
My uncle was a press photographer and had a photo studio in 70s/80s in India… took his old Nikkormat(when he had moved on to other business ) in 1994(light meter wasn’t working I think..but otherwise still hanging on)…in 1996 I landed in US, bought my first N70… then an old Nikon FT from a shop in Santa Clara …then the great F100…the D70s and now the D750…. Only Nikon fans can understand the legacy and the nostalgia …
I also have d750 and it's great camera I bought in used condition for 600$. The only thing I want to have that d750 does not - built-in stabilisation. I use cheap old manual lenses and sometimes it's hard to take sharp photo. Also I dream to have Sony A7S because of outstanding ISO range to make astrophoto with cheap lenses but I don't want sell d750 for it. Maybe someday I will have money to buy a7s as second camera.
Thanks for making this video. I’ve owned my D750 for several years. I felt the “need” to purchase a mirrorless camera and did so 2 years ago. Yet, I find myself using the D750 95% of the time. Told my local photo shop guy the same thing. He asked if I knew everything about my D750 and I told him no. He suggested I master my D750!
A press photographer for over 30 years the D750 is my soul mate. I make an ask of it and it delivers. I've owned mine for 8 years it's been 'hammered' in all weathers, knocked and used daily, it's never let me down. The pop up flash has saved the day and made the picture more than once. Thank you for your considered celebration of a remarkable piece of equipment.
i just bought mine 2 days ago :) I cannot wait to use it! ive slogged away on an old ancient crop sensor D5100 for a decade now. This is my first full frame camera body and from what reviews I have seen it is still so good and so relevant even by todays standards. Its perfect for my landscape and astro work I do. Thanks for the great video glad you not selling yours either!
Got mine since 2015. Still in love with it. Almost feels like a mechanical device, I love the big and clear viewfinder, the grip, and the overall form factor. I did all my photographic city trips with it, many hours every day with many lens changes (I'm using primes only). This thing just is a reliable workhorse. Oh, and thanks to the optical viewfinder the battery is almost impossible to kill, even after days of continuos shooting.
Hello, I'm a professional photographer and I still prefer this camera. It manages to deliver clean, sharp images and great quality in low light conditions. I recommend.
D750 is my workhorse for real estate photography. I don't feel the need for mirrorless upgrade but I do have a Sony a6400 as a walk around camera which is very good. I also have a D810 when I want the best high res image (D750 is much better for low light though).
I've owned Nikons for over 40 years and I upgraded from the D300 to a D780 since it really is a great choice. I also recently purchased a D850 as well. I really like the D780 for my family and friends shooting and night photography as well. I know it's not a D750 but it's a close cousin that fits the job just as well. I have a 20mm prime and the 70-200 and others that the 24mp image is remarkable with good glass as you pointed out. Keep up your great videos.
Im in the same boat. Began 40+ years ago with F, F2, FE cameras then to D100, D200. Went Fuji X mirrorless 11 years ago but this past fall went back to Nikon DSLRs with a purchase of a D850 while the price was hot. I am also looking to getting the D780 for the same reasons and general shooting. I Did get the Z5 when it came out but kept on with it to this day because of the IBIS but it is NOTHING like the handle and feel of the DSLR Nikons. The Z5 will be replaced eventually with the D780, and my D850 will be my high-end shooter going forward.
@@artsilva I agree with your assessment of the Z5. The major advantage is the IBIS. If Nikon came out with a D790 with trickle-down technology from the Z9, particularly in video, and with IBIS, that would be my next camera and I'd thumb my nose at the mirrorless to come, for another few years at least. [A DSLR with D750-like ergonomics and Z-mount would be pretty sweet. :-) ]
Great video Adrian! Every time I visit my son in law and ‘borrow’ his D750 to shoot family shots (he recently purchased a Z6 ii) I’m impressed by the feel, quality and image output. Your comments about your likes and uses for the D750 are spot on. 👍
The D750 still going strong! I love it. Yours looks new. The range of photography you achieve with it is phenomenal and the colours are beautiful - you're right. How amazing that there was a little kookaburra in that hole, awesome that it could be brought back and it was so clear.
DSLR still has its place. If I know I'll need to change lenses in the field I'm always inclined to take the D850 or D5 over one of Z's. Even the sensor shield on the Z9 doesn't totally prevent dust on the sensor and has burned me in travel. The D750 was my first Full Frame DSLR and took plenty of keepers over the years. Sadly, I sold mine when mirrorless burst onto the scene, but your use case makes total sense and the results you are getting are fantastic. So many of the things I sold from the DSLR days I ended up repurchasing later on. I imagine I'll rebuy a used D750 at some point for nostalgia more than anything. Cheers!
I'm not photographer, and the pictures and video the D750 take make me look like professional. I bought the camera for the Nikon brand name and pondered on the thought it might be too difficult to use but on the contrary, it's very rookie friendly. I take it every where I go if only not to miss any special opportunity to capture the world as it spins. The colors are magnificent I love my camera.
Ditto, I upgraded from a d80 years ago to the d750 and love(d) it. Then I upgraded to the d850 and love many of the new features and extra MP’s. When hiking longer distances or doing Astro photography here in the SW (USA), I often default back to the smaller and lighter d750...two features of that camera that I appreciate under certain conditions. At the same time I don’t feel I am sacrificing significant image quality. So I’m with you, not selling it...too many great memories and many more to come!
I’ve had my D750 since shortly after they came out and can’t imagine ever parting with it for all the reasons you mentioned I just wish my photos were as good as yours are
Hi Adrian as you know I’m not a Nikon owner but since I’ve been following you everything you do with both of your old Nikon cameras can’t blame you, photos that come out of your D750 are stunning and videos are amazing. Why change a great thing just to go with the times. Great video my friend. Enjoy weekend 🙏🏼📸
I agree 100%. What I’d like to know is if I bought another d750 new and put it on the shelf as a spare for the future, would it still be operational in ten years? I simply don’t want an EVF. If they’re not going to make any more DSLR’s, I’ll be ok with what this does for the next 20 years.
The 750+50/1.8 is fantastic I sold my D750 when I recently moved to the 850, and I sometimes miss it. Legendary combo of size, weight, image quality that’s hard to beat
Wow! I love this video. Thank you. I will go to your D750 playlist. My first interchangeable-lens camera was a D3200 and my second was a D750. After four years, I still love the D750. I gave the D3200 to a friend, but I can't imagine giving away or selling my D750. I purchased a Z5 about a year-and-a-half ago, thinking that I'd set myself in a position to upgrade in the future and participate in the developments and improvements to come. What I have found is that, despite more advanced technology (and the sensor being the same or similar, as I read when I was deciding on the Z5), the D750 is a superior camera. Above all, there is the almost magical ergonomics of the D750. Its fit in my hands, the feel and heft of it, its robustness and the sensation of solid durability when using it add up to a _pleasure_ of using that the Z5 doesn't come near. I have not held a Z9, but apart from that camera, I can't imagine a mirrorless giving the same satisfaction in my hands that the D750 gives. The Z5, with all the newer bells and whistles (some of which ARE improvements, such as the silence of shooting) frustrates me with its limitations at times whereas the D750 still surprises me with its capabilities. As for video, I have found that in static situations, such as light reflected off a stream playing on a rock next to the water or a bird preening on a branch, the video quality can be quite beautiful. In such situations the D750 is not inferior; the point is to catch the beauty, and it does. For wildlife, the Z5 has a lag time in the EVF, and although the lenses respond as quickly or more quickly with it, the D750 is absolutely superior. When I go hiking for birds and wildlife and landscapes, the Z5 is not a consideration. It stays home. Over time I have learned to lead with the Z5, and if I anticipate correctly I can catch a bird or insect in flight, but that is frustrating. The smaller, lighter camera with the more compact lens is ok for walking around town or for travel, but I prefer the quality of images, overall, from the D750. For portraits, the D750 has a je ne sais quoi over the Z5, and it is very real. At my daughter's wedding I thought I'd get better photos with the Z5, and using both, took about two thirds of the photos with the Z5. Every one of the photos that were picked out by my daughter (and by me) as a favorite was taken with the D750. I am an amateur, not a pro, so I still have much to learn about photography, and I feel that with both cameras. But after four years, I feel that I still have a lot to learn within the D750; I haven't reached the end of its possibilities for me. The D750 is a camera for a lifetime. Nikon really hit the mark with the D750, fit and technology. In my hands it feels like an old friend whose company is a pleasure--dependable, familiar, and just right. But with the Z5 I feel frustration. And upgraditis.
Thanks for watching and commenting. I was really interested in reading your experience. I know a lot of other people in the same boat. Enjoy your weekend.
Just bought a D750 two weeks ago, second hand “as new” with a shutter count of 5k. So far I am learning what it can do. Wanted full frame to use with 4 old Nikkor lenses that have owned since 1968 along with my retired Nikon F. I have otherwise used a D90.
Fantastic video! I’ve had my D750 since 2017, and I’ve hiked and backpacked with it all over the world including Antarctica. It’s a joy to handle and operate, especially the full-frame viewfinder. Your images in this video are awesome, and you’ve inspired me to try some new things in photography. Thank you!
It's great to know your view on D750 Adiran ! I bought myself a second hand D750 from a friend in 2020. Previously I used a D7200 but at least on the two aspects I would definitely put D750 ahead of D7200. One is low light, high ISO performance and the other is focussing speed. I would try to upgrade in sometime but I want to keep it. For upgrade , I am stuck between D850 and D780. Mirroeless are still not my favourite despite the lucrative IBIS. Thanks for your valuable views !
Watching this video will definitely bring ' SELLERS REMORSE' to those who have got rid of their D750. Mine nudges me to shoot it. Results sublime......Good lesson taught .
I left Canon for the 750 it is a real favourite & I still use it. I don't think of camera's aging. I did upgraded to the 850 & so love the features it has yet I am often drawn back to the 750 & use it regularly.
I have my D750 and upgraded to the D850 because of your images… however I’ll take the 750 out and some of the images are just INSANE. It’s a spectacular camera that will be relevant for a long time coming…. It’s a spectacular body. Thanks for the awesome video 🤙
I kept mine when I bought my Z7 and lenses, for many of the same reasons [except video, I've never used it] as you. I find that if I'm going for a long hike I'll take the Z system for its lighter weight, but for short hikes I often take the 750 and 24-120, and that's it. It's like the feeling I had with my D700 -- I kept it for quite a while after I got the 750, but finally my older son wrangled it out of my hands and is now getting good use out of it.
Still top results from a camera that was released almost ten years ago, how amazing was that shot of the kookaburra in that tree hollow, love it!😀😍 Great summary mate, thanks for sharing! P.s. I’m never gonna sell my 1DX II either😜
Thanks for watching Peter. My wife laughs at me every time I come home with the D750. I've given up the notion of selling well and truly now. When I post processed that baby Kookaburra shot, it inspired me to make this video. Enjoy your weekend mate 📸🙏
I only started serious photographic shots around 20 years ago and am now closer to the 100 mark rather than the 0!! I started with the Nikon 7500 and a few years ago purchased the D750. It does all that I want to do with it, and at my age, it would seem foolish to buy a mirrorless camera When this one serves me so very well I have several lenses and the one I love using the most is the 24-120, so very serviceable. I am pleased I found you here
It was renting a D750 recently, after having switched to Canon years ago, that brought me back into the Nikon world. And i also agree with you that that 50mm f1.8 is remarkable especially for its price.
Love this video, I realy love my D750. Owned a D80 for 12 years and I still have that. I would never sell my D750, it takes magnificient pictures. A few days ago I was sorting some pictures and was still amazed by the vivid colours and dynamic range of my camera. Can’t imagine another camera giving me better satisfaction. Thank You!
I own a Nikon D750. It's my primary, and I absolutely LOVE IT !!! My go-to lenses are my 18-35mm AF-S, 70-300mm AF-S VR and my 180mm AF-D F/2.8.
Рік тому+2
Another great review Adrain and not selling your D750 camera. Looking at your photographs, why would you want to get rid of it, even the video shots. Many thanks for sharing your thoughts and info. Have a great weekend :)
I’m so glad I found your channel, thank you. I have had the D750 for years - resisted upgrading to the 850 because I’m just an amateur and frankly it hasn’t disappointed me. I’m grown up now and can afford the Z8 and have been waiting because of all the hype around Nikon’s lack of auto focus but now that I’m about to do it I 1. Can’t get myself to trade in my 750 and 2 can get myself to take on the size and weight of the Z8. Because I seem to do the same kind of photography you do, my kids are grown up and so sports are over (except the occasional Atlanta Braves or United game), do I really need the stellar autofocus of a canon and now the better 78 - and the speed? I think based on your videos I’m going to get myself a Z7ii and hold off on trading in or selling my 750. I am also going to use the extra to get that nifty 24-120 F4. That and all of the amazing glass I’ve accumulated over the years plus an adapter should make me very happy. Thanks again for your great videos.
Thanks so much for your kind comment. I can afford the new Z8, but I’m not getting it. I think that speaks for itself when people ask my opinion. The D750 will always have that something special image wise. You’ll find the Z7II is very good (I have the Z7) but it has a whole different look to the images in my opinion compared to the DSLRs. The 24-120mm F4 is pretty amazing. I’ve made a couple of videos on my channel on it. Thanks for stopping by 🙏
I own 2 D750's and 2 Z6II's. I purchased the Z6 primarily for video and the aut focus which is phenomenal. That being said everytime I think about selling my 750's something stops me. Then it dawned on me. I recently shot a 90th birthday party with an assistant. I gave her my 750 to shoot with and before I knew it they were both strapped to my black magic harness, and she was using the z6's. The images we captured were fantastic. and as much as I love my Z6's those 750's are workhorses that still deliver incredible images. Thanks for reminding me.
Adrian, You are a man after my own heart: I bought my D750 in 2017, and have never looked back. Even on my limited budget, my small range of lenses seem to bring a new life and character to the camera; to expand its nature and facility. Your review has captured the beating heart of this exceptional instrument. I understand the call of mirrorless and hear it myself, but I suspect my D750 will see me out.
I have 2 D750s. I bought the first one when they were introduced. For events I prefer 2 cameras/different lenses and bought a second body in 2019.. From time to time I think about moving to the D850 but so far I've always talked myself out of it. I've printed lots of my files, often 12x16, sometimes larger and I'm happy with the resolution. If these bodies keep going I'll be reluctant to 'upgrade'.
Makes perfect sense Wayne. Why upgrade when the cameras are doing the job you need them to do. I think it'll be only until my cameras break I'll look at another camera. But that's just me. Thanks for watching 🙏
You know I am a big Nikon fan Adrian, but I never knew the 750 was so versatile, great video mate, love the slow motion clips and the food stuff. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching John. I think that's why I have both the D750 and D850, they're both so versatile. If one goes down for what ever reason, at least I've got another equally as good camera to keep on shooting with. Have a great weekend mate, cheers 📸🙏
Adrian, love the new intro to your videos. Even tho I have gone to mirrorless (Z6ii twins), I will always keep my D500 for a lot of the same reasons you bring up in the video. Cheers.
Ciao Adrian, i'm an italian wildlife photographer, i use in 2023 the d750 and the d4. I don't need other for my necessity. You are great, your video's are very interesting 💪💪💪
Get so confident by seeing this video. I own the D750 since 10years and I just started my own photography business. Always been super happy with the camera but as a startup I doubt myself. This makes me believe in myself and my skills, that I can be great even if I can't afford the most expensive, newest gear at the moment.
Thanks so much for watching Colin. That baby Kookaburra shot was what inspired me to make this video. I couldn't believe it myself when I could see that little guy hiding away in there. That 70-200mm F2.8 lens certainly helped too in taking it. Have a great weekend mate, cheers 📸🙏
There is something about DSLRs, Nikon in particular that I meesed since I switched to Mirrorless, Sony. That's why until now I haven't sold my DSLR. For video and ecpecially events and use Sony, and I use my Nikon for landscape and architecture photography
I just recently put my D750 up for sale in Fort Wayne Indiana and your right it’s been and still is a great reliable camera. I just got hooked on the mirrorless cameras but wonder if I was acting too quick
Absolutely spot on, mate! I also love mine to bits, it's so versatile. I use it for travel, squash, macro, concerts, etc.. And it does a great job every single time! The files simply look amazing. 24 MP is the sweet spot IMO, especially when you do a lot of low light photography with it, because it excels at that. I don't feel the need to switch to a Z6 at all (although IBIS is tempting). In conclusion: I will never sell it either! Great content as usual, Adrian. Love the channel! Cheers
I've been close to buying a mirrorless camera 100 times and always found my d750 to have everything I needed - and even more. Thanks for your work Adrian, best regards
As an amateur, I found an excellent D750 with a low shutter count for 700€ on the suggestion of a professional. The first impression is real a surprise on how complete it is (and complicated). I'm really enthusiastic.
I have two D750s. A few years ago, I was using a D810 with a D600 as a backup. I didn't feel my work needed the pixel count of the D810, so I sold it and got a D750. I like it so much that I retired the D600 as my emergency backup and got a second D750 as my second body (both D750s have battery grips). Love them, they just fit my working style, and the size and feel balances the two large zooms that I typically use (24-70 f2.8 and 80-200 f2.8 - Nikkors).
I bought the D750 because I couldn't afford the D850 but I have no complaints. As an amateur, it has a plethora of features for me to learn so I can continue to improve, but it's not overwhelming. I get great photos out of it, it's easy to handle for my small hands, and it has never let me down. I feel like it's the kind of camera we'll still be using for a while yet because it's solid and reliable and the tech is still pretty good. I'd love to get the D850 one day, and eventually add a mirrorless, so I have a collection and range of options, but I really can't complain about my D750. But then I've got no comparison, except for an old Olympus film camera from the 80s so what would I know? ;)
Hi Adrian, as technology got that good meanwhile, there are a lot of cameras that are able to do the job. Choosing a camera we feel most comfortable with, is indeed a quite good tip. And then we also should ask ourselves: what is the real difference between old and new, actually? Everything that was new will anyway get old with time :) A fantastic video, buddy! Enjoy your weekend, Christian
Very true Christian. Everything new gets old and these days, quickly. I remember when the D750 was launched. Until I bought it, I did not realise how good it was. Have a great weekend buddy, take care 🙏📸
That's my 2nd camera when i upgraded from a DX D5300. I have 2 D750 bodies at the moment and My Oh My i love this camera to bits. Not the best at video focusing but Photography. It's still a beast. I'd still get another 750 if i find one with low shuttercount. My dream has always been to own a D850 i love the camera from what i've seen on UA-cam reviews and i've worked with the image files before and would love love to own one someday.
The D750 is my 8th Nikon (digital and film) and it is incredibly reliable, and super tough. One Nikon got destroyed by a massive ocean wave, another by the eclipse, and one was taken by monkeys, but the D750 has been through all weather, and I don't even worry about it for a second. Colours are so soft and beautiful.
This year i bought my D750 refurbished as an upgrade from my D3300 and at some point i was very much wondering if I made the right choice or if I shouldve gone for something more new. This video really helped me appreciate my purchase and sticking with my choice!
I am in the same situation. I joined fujifilm system with XT4 and I was selling Nikon Equipment, but finally i changed my mind and I kept the D750 and a couple of lenses (Tamrin Sp 35 and Nikon 85 1.8)
Great video Adrian, the Nikon D750 looks a great all round camera . The details and the colours of the dragonfly was superb, and as for the kookaburra shot, WOW Thanks for sharing mate 👍 Cheers,Cliff
Thanks very much for watching Cliff. Those Kookaburra and Dragonfly shots did take me by surprise I have to admit. Could not believe when I lifted the shadows and saw that little face and beak in there looking at me. Hope you're well mate and have a great weekend, cheers 📸🙏
The birdsnest shot with the actual bird hiding in the dark…amazing. 😮 By the time the Nikon 750 came out I was still a Sony man but after getting my hands on a D850 2 years back Im stuck with Nikon.
I'm pretty much like you,why buy a new car when my it's almost new,low miles and in perfect condition? Paid 30 ,it's only 6 years old and a newone will cost me 65.000. I bought the camera early 2015 and in 2023 I found myself still loving it like in day one. This year,been the eighth since I have it, I'll start experimenting with video for a while and all dough it's only 1080, it'll do ( for a long while provably). Thank you for your very ediucated and positive thoughts on this wonderful camera.
Good stuff, Adrian! I bet you would love a D780. Works like a D750 when in normal shooting mode and like a Z6 in live view! I've never talked to anyone who owns a D750 who doesn't like it.
Many thanks for watching Phil. I'm happy with this D750, I have to actually use it today to do some studio shots for my wife's new ebook. Have a great weekend mate, cheers 🙏📸
You are not alone. Gave mine to my daughter with the caveat, if she ever wants to "upgrade" I want it back. I replaced it in my 850/750 kit wit a 780 for the better video specifically because it does a better job shooting youth sports training videos. Other than that, its a SLIGHTLY cleaned up 750, and I'll not ever get rid of it either.
Hi Adrian, I just got a Z50 for its light weight and speed, I love it. But like you I love the D750 so much that I won’t give it up. Agree every bits you said in the video, from the first day it is a good camera for photographer who knows what he needs. Never envy the higher pixels camera, d750 give me what I need, as some said, I if the pictures are not good enough, it is the photographer that is not good enough, not the camera.
Went mirrorless some time ago, then back to DSLRs. It's great to have a battery that can last all day, and when I push the shutter, the images are always perfect. The feel and sound of the click is prime.
I’ve been shooting with the Nikon d700 for the longest time. Even shooting paid work with it last year. I love that camera! I’ve semi converted over to the Sony alpha system for its autofocus and video capability. But I still have great Nikon glass and with dslr out of favor now it’s a great time to pick up even more great glass for great value. I ordered the d750 from Adorama yesterday for just under $500 usd. I am excited to fall in love with the next generation of Nikon d7xx! I agree the colors and character of these cameras is fabulous.
I have a D750, when we were in Vietnam recently I had trouble with my camera bag zip, it got difficult to open and close. I was standing in a market looking at some shoes when I heard a loud thunk, and my camera was sitting on the footpath. The zip had given way and the camera fell out. I had the Nikon 50mm 1.4 lens on it and both of them survived the fall and still work perfectly. Not even a scratch. Still takes beautiful clear shots.
Beautiful images, I don’t blame you for keeping it. I would. Love shooting my Z7II and my other camera for fun or just great shots is my old XT2 bought 2nd hand. Never selling it.
Got my two D750 bodies in 2015...Shot 1000s of images with them...Be it weddings, events, corporate head shots,food, real estate even corporate related video work... Have been the backbone of all my work...both of them through a lot and not many outside parts are left 😊...But still works...❤
Enjoyed the humor Adrian, you must keep your partner in stitches when working on your videos. I’ve never had a D750, I jumped from a D7000 to my D850. I must admit that I don’t use the D7000 very much anymore, while the photos I took with it were very nice, the D850 is so much more superior in every way. Anyway, thanks again and looking forward to you next video.
Thanks for watching Leo. She couldn't stop laughing at me, but eventually we got a snippet of video for the dodgy dealer haha! I'm using the D750 tomorrow to start photography work on my wife's new ebook. Lots of general lifestyle and food shots. Love using the D750 for stuff like that. Have a great weekend, cheers 📸🙏
The D750 is my main DSLR. I have a Sony cropped frame mirrorless, but that's for long walks (lightweight) rather than just relying on smart phone, but not moving on from full frame DSLR to mirrorless any time soon. I second that awesome shadow recovery at night time - quite unbelievable the first couple of times. Shutter stuck on high speeds and had to be replaced - during COVID which was a real hassle. Never wanted for higher resolution or more pixels and the compact file size always helps - stills and video.
Love my D750. Beautiful pictures & colors. Easy to hold due to size & weight. Have had Nikons now for 35 yrs. Lots of analogue cameras (favorite 8008) including F3, FM-2 & 4 others. The 750 & my 8008 are amazing. Favorite lens is my old Nikon 70-200 f4. Still favorite over half a dozen other Nikon lenses & use with the 750 90% of the time. Shoot mostly birds, wildlife & Sunrise/Sunsets. I am not a pro, just love photography. Thank you for your video.
Ok, I'm a previous Canon apsc owner and I did the jump towards the full frame with this camera and I don't know why.. but it went really good, despite big difference in the menu, after two weeks I started to find the options at the first attempt.. great sensor very good image quality. I'm happy with the change!
After using 2 D200s for a long time, saved money and bought a D750, and yes all you say is true. My only regret is not having bought TWO D750s, but I did get a D7200 and this duo will stay with me. One of my D200s works still!. With all that glass bought along the years, can't even think of getting one of those new models. Maybe in my next life, haha...!
I have an old Nikon D750 and am just now learning how to use it. I am an analog amature photographer så digital is new to me, that is why I love the D750. This camera will serve me the rest of my life 🙂
I actually just bought this camera last month. Well, I bought one body, that one had an issue with the sensor, even though the site said it was in excellent condition. I sent it back and got a second body and that one works just fine. I got it to be my main camera and my D600 will be my backup camera. I mainly shoot stills, and I find that this camera body works best for me. I have the 50mm 1.8 and I love that one. It was my first non-kit lens. I also have the 85mm 1.8, 105mm 2.8 VR, and the 70-200mm 2.8 VRII. I do want to get a wide angle zoom, but that can wait. I'm focusing on portraits, and boudoir photography. Along with street photography. I plan to jump to mirrorless later this year (saving for it now), but I'm never getting rid of my DSLR bodies.
Hello Adrian, I feel the same way. The D750 was my first FF Nikon DSLR body and despite owning a D850, Z9 and a brand new F6 (yes, a film body and Nikon's last), it seems like I grab the D750 first. It still is a great camera, especially as you mentioned, in low light. Another great video that I'm glad you posted.
I had two D750s and used them while traveling for many trips to Europe but my age and the weight of carrying two cameras and the rest of the kit drove me to M43 which I really like. I sold one but could not separate myself from the lovely photos and the pleasure of using this great camera. I will not sell my remaining D750, just too many great photos from the past and many more to come. Thanks for the reminder of how good this camera is. Frankly, I kept it to help prevent me from buying a mirrorless full frame camera, so far it has worked.
I have a D750 as my main DSLR and a D7200 as a backup/wildlife camera. As photography is a hobby and does not generate an income I find it hard to justify upgrading. I don't feel restricted by the D750 or that I am missing any features. Maybe as the Z series cameras start to make their way onto the used market and get a bit cheaper I'll consider changing but for now the D750 does everything I need.
Hi, same here. However, not completely happy... I upgraded to a used D750 from a D7200. Don't know if it's my unit, but the D750 tends to blow-out highlights more often than the D7200. For the same settings, for shots taken with the D7200 I just pull down the HL slider in LR and get details, but on the D750 I need to be extra careful in the field with the settings. Did you notice this also or it's just my camera? Thanks if you manage to answer.
I’ve owned my D750 since 2014, and it works as good now as it did brand new. No plans on upgrading any time soon, as it sits well with my IPhone 14 pro max.
Thanks! Yes, I own a D750 since 2015 now and am quite happy with it. Sometimes a rather slow AF with the 70-200 / 2,8 zoom ... but I know that I will never ever quit using a DSLR, just because I love the sound of the clic plus: I want an optical viewfinder and nothing processed! So: I also won't ever sell this fine tool.
Thanks for watching. Leave your Nikon D750 stories below in the comments. I’d love to hear about your experiences with it 📸🙏
Hi I'm a Nikon user for past 30 years and own a D750 (still have a FM2 also :). Loved your video. I would really love to see astrophotography results with 20 mm f1.8 lens. Thanks.
@@driksolo I did make this other short video using the D750 for astro ua-cam.com/video/hnyoef-nI0E/v-deo.html
Love my D750. I'd consider buying a D780 (which looks to be the same handling wise - and even more of a low-light monster) and keeping the 750 as a spare body. I'd sell the 610 I've been keeping as a spare. I don't shoot weddings, so no need of a second active camera with a different lens on it, but cameras *do* fail - or get dropped). Having a spare saved my shooting days the last time I was in NZ (other side of the planet for me). I don't print big enough (or crop down far enough) to need more than 24mp, but the more dynamic range I can capture the happier I am in post.
I've owned Nikons for 50 years plus and the D750 is my choice for daily use. Rich colors, tone, reliability and when people see the final product vs the cost of a new mirrorless it sells itself. You've done a great service for many users who don't feel the need to jump to "latest & greatest" .... thanks :)
Thank you very much for watching and commenting. The D750 has such beautiful colors in its images I agree. Hope you have a great weekend 🙏📸
My uncle was a press photographer and had a photo studio in 70s/80s in India… took his old Nikkormat(when he had moved on to other business ) in 1994(light meter wasn’t working I think..but otherwise still hanging on)…in 1996 I landed in US, bought my first N70… then an old Nikon FT from a shop in Santa Clara …then the great F100…the D70s and now the D750…. Only Nikon fans can understand the legacy and the nostalgia …
I also have d750 and it's great camera I bought in used condition for 600$. The only thing I want to have that d750 does not - built-in stabilisation. I use cheap old manual lenses and sometimes it's hard to take sharp photo. Also I dream to have Sony A7S because of outstanding ISO range to make astrophoto with cheap lenses but I don't want sell d750 for it. Maybe someday I will have money to buy a7s as second camera.
Hpw you compare it with d850?
I don’t have a D750 yet, but I will have one soon. Thank you so much for the information about this camera!
Thanks for making this video. I’ve owned my D750 for several years. I felt the “need” to purchase a mirrorless camera and did so 2 years ago. Yet, I find myself using the D750 95% of the time.
Told my local photo shop guy the same thing. He asked if I knew everything about my D750 and I told him no. He suggested I master my D750!
A press photographer for over 30 years the D750 is my soul mate. I make an ask of it and it delivers. I've owned mine for 8 years it's been 'hammered' in all weathers, knocked and used daily, it's never let me down. The pop up flash has saved the day and made the picture more than once. Thank you for your considered celebration of a remarkable piece of equipment.
Thanks for sharing 🙏
i just bought mine 2 days ago :) I cannot wait to use it! ive slogged away on an old ancient crop sensor D5100 for a decade now. This is my first full frame camera body and from what reviews I have seen it is still so good and so relevant even by todays standards. Its perfect for my landscape and astro work I do. Thanks for the great video glad you not selling yours either!
Got mine since 2015. Still in love with it. Almost feels like a mechanical device, I love the big and clear viewfinder, the grip, and the overall form factor. I did all my photographic city trips with it, many hours every day with many lens changes (I'm using primes only). This thing just is a reliable workhorse.
Oh, and thanks to the optical viewfinder the battery is almost impossible to kill, even after days of continuos shooting.
Hello, I'm a professional photographer and I still prefer this camera. It manages to deliver clean, sharp images and great quality in low light conditions. I recommend.
D750 is my workhorse for real estate photography.
I don't feel the need for mirrorless upgrade but I do have a Sony a6400 as a walk around camera which is very good. I also have a D810 when I want the best high res image (D750 is much better for low light though).
Top video mate. That baby Kookaburra shot was just insane! I didn't realise what that camera was capable of until I watched this.
Thanks for watching. Enjoy your weekend 📸🙏
I've owned Nikons for over 40 years and I upgraded from the D300 to a D780 since it really is a great choice. I also recently purchased a D850 as well. I really like the D780 for my family and friends shooting and night photography as well. I know it's not a D750 but it's a close cousin that fits the job just as well. I have a 20mm prime and the 70-200 and others that the 24mp image is remarkable with good glass as you pointed out. Keep up your great videos.
Thank you for watching and commenting Dennis. I like your set up. Have a great weekend 🙏
Im in the same boat. Began 40+ years ago with F, F2, FE cameras then to D100, D200. Went Fuji X mirrorless 11 years ago but this past fall went back to Nikon DSLRs with a purchase of a D850 while the price was hot. I am also looking to getting the D780 for the same reasons and general shooting. I Did get the Z5 when it came out but kept on with it to this day because of the IBIS but it is NOTHING like the handle and feel of the DSLR Nikons. The Z5 will be replaced eventually with the D780, and my D850 will be my high-end shooter going forward.
@@artsilva I agree with your assessment of the Z5. The major advantage is the IBIS. If Nikon came out with a D790 with trickle-down technology from the Z9, particularly in video, and with IBIS, that would be my next camera and I'd thumb my nose at the mirrorless to come, for another few years at least. [A DSLR with D750-like ergonomics and Z-mount would be pretty sweet. :-) ]
Great video Adrian! Every time I visit my son in law and ‘borrow’ his D750 to shoot family shots (he recently purchased a Z6 ii) I’m impressed by the feel, quality and image output. Your comments about your likes and uses for the D750 are spot on. 👍
Thank you for watching 🙏
Feel the same about my D500 for a crop sensor camera, it keeps delivering quality hassle free images every time I use it.
The D750 still going strong! I love it. Yours looks new. The range of photography you achieve with it is phenomenal and the colours are beautiful - you're right. How amazing that there was a little kookaburra in that hole, awesome that it could be brought back and it was so clear.
Thanks for watching. Have a great weekend 📸🙏
DSLR still has its place. If I know I'll need to change lenses in the field I'm always inclined to take the D850 or D5 over one of Z's. Even the sensor shield on the Z9 doesn't totally prevent dust on the sensor and has burned me in travel. The D750 was my first Full Frame DSLR and took plenty of keepers over the years. Sadly, I sold mine when mirrorless burst onto the scene, but your use case makes total sense and the results you are getting are fantastic. So many of the things I sold from the DSLR days I ended up repurchasing later on. I imagine I'll rebuy a used D750 at some point for nostalgia more than anything. Cheers!
Many thanks for watching and sharing your experience Dave. Have a great weekend. 📸🙏
I'm not photographer, and the pictures and video the D750 take make me look like professional. I bought the camera for the Nikon brand name and pondered on the thought it might be too difficult to use but on the contrary, it's very rookie friendly. I take it every where I go if only not to miss any special opportunity to capture the world as it spins.
The colors are magnificent
I love my camera.
Ditto, I upgraded from a d80 years ago to the d750 and love(d) it. Then I upgraded to the d850 and love many of the new features and extra MP’s. When hiking longer distances or doing Astro photography here in the SW (USA), I often default back to the smaller and lighter d750...two features of that camera that I appreciate under certain conditions. At the same time I don’t feel I am sacrificing significant image quality. So I’m with you, not selling it...too many great memories and many more to come!
Thanks for watching Stephen. Glad to hear you're enjoying the D750. Have a great weekend 🙏📸
I just recently bought the Zf - but I'm not gonna sell my 750...no way...
thanks for your video!
I’ve had my D750 since shortly after they came out and can’t imagine ever parting with it for all the reasons you mentioned
I just wish my photos were as good as yours are
Thank you for watching and your kind comment 🙏
Hi Adrian as you know I’m not a Nikon owner but since I’ve been following you everything you do with both of your old Nikon cameras can’t blame you, photos that come out of your D750 are stunning and videos are amazing. Why change a great thing just to go with the times. Great video my friend. Enjoy weekend 🙏🏼📸
Thanks very much for watching. This D750 continually surprises me and that's what I love about it. Have a great week my friend, cheers 📸🙏
I agree 100%. What I’d like to know is if I bought another d750 new and put it on the shelf as a spare for the future, would it still be operational in ten years? I simply don’t want an EVF. If they’re not going to make any more DSLR’s, I’ll be ok with what this does for the next 20 years.
The 750+50/1.8 is fantastic
I sold my D750 when I recently moved to the 850, and I sometimes miss it. Legendary combo of size, weight, image quality that’s hard to beat
Thanks very much for watching and commenting. I agree re the D750 and 50mm F1.8. A cheap combo for awesome results. Have a great weekend 🙏
Wow! I love this video. Thank you. I will go to your D750 playlist. My first interchangeable-lens camera was a D3200 and my second was a D750. After four years, I still love the D750. I gave the D3200 to a friend, but I can't imagine giving away or selling my D750. I purchased a Z5 about a year-and-a-half ago, thinking that I'd set myself in a position to upgrade in the future and participate in the developments and improvements to come. What I have found is that, despite more advanced technology (and the sensor being the same or similar, as I read when I was deciding on the Z5), the D750 is a superior camera. Above all, there is the almost magical ergonomics of the D750. Its fit in my hands, the feel and heft of it, its robustness and the sensation of solid durability when using it add up to a _pleasure_ of using that the Z5 doesn't come near. I have not held a Z9, but apart from that camera, I can't imagine a mirrorless giving the same satisfaction in my hands that the D750 gives. The Z5, with all the newer bells and whistles (some of which ARE improvements, such as the silence of shooting) frustrates me with its limitations at times whereas the D750 still surprises me with its capabilities. As for video, I have found that in static situations, such as light reflected off a stream playing on a rock next to the water or a bird preening on a branch, the video quality can be quite beautiful. In such situations the D750 is not inferior; the point is to catch the beauty, and it does. For wildlife, the Z5 has a lag time in the EVF, and although the lenses respond as quickly or more quickly with it, the D750 is absolutely superior. When I go hiking for birds and wildlife and landscapes, the Z5 is not a consideration. It stays home. Over time I have learned to lead with the Z5, and if I anticipate correctly I can catch a bird or insect in flight, but that is frustrating. The smaller, lighter camera with the more compact lens is ok for walking around town or for travel, but I prefer the quality of images, overall, from the D750. For portraits, the D750 has a je ne sais quoi over the Z5, and it is very real. At my daughter's wedding I thought I'd get better photos with the Z5, and using both, took about two thirds of the photos with the Z5. Every one of the photos that were picked out by my daughter (and by me) as a favorite was taken with the D750. I am an amateur, not a pro, so I still have much to learn about photography, and I feel that with both cameras. But after four years, I feel that I still have a lot to learn within the D750; I haven't reached the end of its possibilities for me. The D750 is a camera for a lifetime. Nikon really hit the mark with the D750, fit and technology. In my hands it feels like an old friend whose company is a pleasure--dependable, familiar, and just right. But with the Z5 I feel frustration. And upgraditis.
Thanks for watching and commenting. I was really interested in reading your experience. I know a lot of other people in the same boat. Enjoy your weekend.
Just bought a D750 two weeks ago, second hand “as new” with a shutter count of 5k. So far I am learning what it can do. Wanted full frame to use with 4 old Nikkor lenses that have owned since 1968 along with my retired Nikon F. I have otherwise used a D90.
Thanks for watching and sharing your experience with the D750 Tom. Hope you get many years of enjoyment out of it. Have a great weekend, cheers 📸🙏
Fantastic video! I’ve had my D750 since 2017, and I’ve hiked and backpacked with it all over the world including Antarctica. It’s a joy to handle and operate, especially the full-frame viewfinder. Your images in this video are awesome, and you’ve inspired me to try some new things in photography. Thank you!
It's great to know your view on D750 Adiran ! I bought myself a second hand D750 from a friend in 2020. Previously I used a D7200 but at least on the two aspects I would definitely put D750 ahead of D7200. One is low light, high ISO performance and the other is focussing speed. I would try to upgrade in sometime but I want to keep it. For upgrade , I am stuck between D850 and D780. Mirroeless are still not my favourite despite the lucrative IBIS. Thanks for your valuable views !
Watching this video will definitely bring ' SELLERS REMORSE' to those who have got rid of their D750. Mine nudges me to shoot it. Results sublime......Good lesson taught .
I left Canon for the 750 it is a real favourite & I still use it. I don't think of camera's aging.
I did upgraded to the 850 & so love the features it has yet
I am often drawn back to the 750 & use it regularly.
Thanks for watching 🤙🙏
I have my D750 and upgraded to the D850 because of your images… however I’ll take the 750 out and some of the images are just INSANE. It’s a spectacular camera that will be relevant for a long time coming…. It’s a spectacular body. Thanks for the awesome video 🤙
5:10 that recovery was really impressive!
I kept mine when I bought my Z7 and lenses, for many of the same reasons [except video, I've never used it] as you. I find that if I'm going for a long hike I'll take the Z system for its lighter weight, but for short hikes I often take the 750 and 24-120, and that's it. It's like the feeling I had with my D700 -- I kept it for quite a while after I got the 750, but finally my older son wrangled it out of my hands and is now getting good use out of it.
Many thanks for watching and commenting. I can understand your set up and agree. Have a great weekend 🙏
I totally agree with you: I think there's something in the D750's colours and tones that makes it kind of special
Thanks for watching, much appreciated 🙏
Still top results from a camera that was released almost ten years ago, how amazing was that shot of the kookaburra in that tree hollow, love it!😀😍 Great summary mate, thanks for sharing! P.s. I’m never gonna sell my 1DX II either😜
Thanks for watching Peter. My wife laughs at me every time I come home with the D750. I've given up the notion of selling well and truly now. When I post processed that baby Kookaburra shot, it inspired me to make this video. Enjoy your weekend mate 📸🙏
I only started serious photographic shots around 20 years ago and am now closer to the 100 mark rather than the 0!! I started with the Nikon 7500 and a few years ago purchased the D750. It does all that I want to do with it, and at my age, it would seem foolish to buy a mirrorless camera When this one serves me so very well I have several lenses and the one I love using the most is the 24-120, so very serviceable. I am pleased I found you here
It was renting a D750 recently, after having switched to Canon years ago, that brought me back into the Nikon world. And i also agree with you that that 50mm f1.8 is remarkable especially for its price.
Thanks for watching Craig 🙏
Love this video, I realy love my D750. Owned a D80 for 12 years and I still have that. I would never sell my D750, it takes magnificient pictures. A few days ago I was sorting some pictures and was still amazed by the vivid colours and dynamic range of my camera. Can’t imagine another camera giving me better satisfaction. Thank You!
I own a Nikon D750. It's my primary, and I absolutely LOVE IT !!! My go-to lenses are my 18-35mm AF-S, 70-300mm AF-S VR and my 180mm AF-D F/2.8.
Another great review Adrain and not selling your D750 camera. Looking at your photographs, why would you want to get rid of it, even the video shots. Many thanks for sharing your thoughts and info. Have a great weekend :)
Thanks for watching Shaun. It's a great camera. Very reliable to get the job done. Have a great weekend mate, cheers 📸🙏
I’m so glad I found your channel, thank you. I have had the D750 for years - resisted upgrading to the 850 because I’m just an amateur and frankly it hasn’t disappointed me. I’m grown up now and can afford the Z8 and have been waiting because of all the hype around Nikon’s lack of auto focus but now that I’m about to do it I 1. Can’t get myself to trade in my 750 and 2 can get myself to take on the size and weight of the Z8. Because I seem to do the same kind of photography you do, my kids are grown up and so sports are over (except the occasional Atlanta Braves or United game), do I really need the stellar autofocus of a canon and now the better 78 - and the speed? I think based on your videos I’m going to get myself a Z7ii and hold off on trading in or selling my 750. I am also going to use the extra to get that nifty 24-120 F4. That and all of the amazing glass I’ve accumulated over the years plus an adapter should make me very happy. Thanks again for your great videos.
Thanks so much for your kind comment. I can afford the new Z8, but I’m not getting it. I think that speaks for itself when people ask my opinion. The D750 will always have that something special image wise. You’ll find the Z7II is very good (I have the Z7) but it has a whole different look to the images in my opinion compared to the DSLRs. The 24-120mm F4 is pretty amazing. I’ve made a couple of videos on my channel on it. Thanks for stopping by 🙏
I own 2 D750's and 2 Z6II's. I purchased the Z6 primarily for video and the aut focus which is phenomenal. That being said everytime I think about selling my 750's something stops me. Then it dawned on me. I recently shot a 90th birthday party with an assistant. I gave her my 750 to shoot with and before I knew it they were both strapped to my black magic harness, and she was using the z6's. The images we captured were fantastic. and as much as I love my Z6's those 750's are workhorses that still deliver incredible images. Thanks for reminding me.
Spot on. Thanks for watching 🙏
Adrian, You are a man after my own heart: I bought my D750 in 2017, and have never looked back. Even on my limited budget, my small range of lenses seem to bring a new life and character to the camera; to expand its nature and facility. Your review has captured the beating heart of this exceptional instrument. I understand the call of mirrorless and hear it myself, but I suspect my D750 will see me out.
Thanks for watching and your kind comment. Much appreciated 🙏📸
Picked one up last year. My first full frame digital. Very happy with it runs all my Nikon lenses. No ready to jump to mirrorless.
I have 2 D750s. I bought the first one when they were introduced. For events I prefer 2 cameras/different lenses and bought a second body in 2019.. From time to time I think about moving to the D850 but so far I've always talked myself out of it. I've printed lots of my files, often 12x16, sometimes larger and I'm happy with the resolution. If these bodies keep going I'll be reluctant to 'upgrade'.
Makes perfect sense Wayne. Why upgrade when the cameras are doing the job you need them to do. I think it'll be only until my cameras break I'll look at another camera. But that's just me. Thanks for watching 🙏
You know I am a big Nikon fan Adrian, but I never knew the 750 was so versatile, great video mate, love the slow motion clips and the food stuff. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching John. I think that's why I have both the D750 and D850, they're both so versatile. If one goes down for what ever reason, at least I've got another equally as good camera to keep on shooting with. Have a great weekend mate, cheers 📸🙏
Adrian, love the new intro to your videos. Even tho I have gone to mirrorless (Z6ii twins), I will always keep my D500 for a lot of the same reasons you bring up in the video. Cheers.
Thanks so much for watching Ron. Really appreciated. I understand your comment and can see why you’re hanging on to your D500. Have a great weekend 🙏📸
Great video I have still my D750 and mean to hold for long time it's simple and fantastic.
Thank you Adrian.
Many thanks for watching Giorgio. Glad you’re enjoying your D750. Enjoy your weekend 🙏
Ciao Adrian, i'm an italian wildlife photographer, i use in 2023 the d750 and the d4. I don't need other for my necessity. You are great, your video's are very interesting 💪💪💪
Many thanks for watching and commenting Emanuele. Glad to hear you're enjoying your cameras. Have a great weekend 🙏
Get so confident by seeing this video. I own the D750 since 10years and I just started my own photography business. Always been super happy with the camera but as a startup I doubt myself. This makes me believe in myself and my skills, that I can be great even if I can't afford the most expensive, newest gear at the moment.
Great camera and not hard to see why you love it Adrian. The baby Kookaburra, dynamic range in post, just amazing!
Thanks so much for watching Colin. That baby Kookaburra shot was what inspired me to make this video. I couldn't believe it myself when I could see that little guy hiding away in there. That 70-200mm F2.8 lens certainly helped too in taking it. Have a great weekend mate, cheers 📸🙏
There is something about DSLRs, Nikon in particular that I meesed since I switched to Mirrorless, Sony. That's why until now I haven't sold my DSLR. For video and ecpecially events and use Sony, and I use my Nikon for landscape and architecture photography
I just recently put my D750 up for sale in Fort Wayne Indiana and your right it’s been and still is a great reliable camera. I just got hooked on the mirrorless cameras but wonder if I was acting too quick
Great video The D750 is still a capable camera adrian so glad your still using it as I can get a lot of tips from your videos hopefully👍
Absolutely spot on, mate! I also love mine to bits, it's so versatile. I use it for travel, squash, macro, concerts, etc.. And it does a great job every single time! The files simply look amazing. 24 MP is the sweet spot IMO, especially when you do a lot of low light photography with it, because it excels at that. I don't feel the need to switch to a Z6 at all (although IBIS is tempting). In conclusion: I will never sell it either!
Great content as usual, Adrian. Love the channel! Cheers
Cheers Phil, thanks mate. I do enjoy this D750 and it keeps surprising me. No need to sell as it does all I want. Have a great weekend 📸🙏
I've been close to buying a mirrorless camera 100 times and always found my d750 to have everything I needed - and even more. Thanks for your work Adrian, best regards
As an amateur, I found an excellent D750 with a low shutter count for 700€ on the suggestion of a professional. The first impression is real a surprise on how complete it is (and complicated). I'm really enthusiastic.
I have two D750s. A few years ago, I was using a D810 with a D600 as a backup. I didn't feel my work needed the pixel count of the D810, so I sold it and got a D750. I like it so much that I retired the D600 as my emergency backup and got a second D750 as my second body (both D750s have battery grips). Love them, they just fit my working style, and the size and feel balances the two large zooms that I typically use (24-70 f2.8 and 80-200 f2.8 - Nikkors).
I bought the D750 because I couldn't afford the D850 but I have no complaints. As an amateur, it has a plethora of features for me to learn so I can continue to improve, but it's not overwhelming. I get great photos out of it, it's easy to handle for my small hands, and it has never let me down. I feel like it's the kind of camera we'll still be using for a while yet because it's solid and reliable and the tech is still pretty good. I'd love to get the D850 one day, and eventually add a mirrorless, so I have a collection and range of options, but I really can't complain about my D750. But then I've got no comparison, except for an old Olympus film camera from the 80s so what would I know? ;)
Hi Adrian, as technology got that good meanwhile, there are a lot of cameras that are able to do the job. Choosing a camera we feel most comfortable with, is indeed a quite good tip. And then we also should ask ourselves: what is the real difference between old and new, actually? Everything that was new will anyway get old with time :) A fantastic video, buddy!
Enjoy your weekend,
Christian
Very true Christian. Everything new gets old and these days, quickly. I remember when the D750 was launched. Until I bought it, I did not realise how good it was. Have a great weekend buddy, take care 🙏📸
That's my 2nd camera when i upgraded from a DX D5300. I have 2 D750 bodies at the moment and My Oh My i love this camera to bits. Not the best at video focusing but Photography. It's still a beast. I'd still get another 750 if i find one with low shuttercount. My dream has always been to own a D850 i love the camera from what i've seen on UA-cam reviews and i've worked with the image files before and would love love to own one someday.
Thanks heaps for watching, cheers 🙏
The D750 is my 8th Nikon (digital and film) and it is incredibly reliable, and super tough. One Nikon got destroyed by a massive ocean wave, another by the eclipse, and one was taken by monkeys, but the D750 has been through all weather, and I don't even worry about it for a second. Colours are so soft and beautiful.
This year i bought my D750 refurbished as an upgrade from my D3300 and at some point i was very much wondering if I made the right choice or if I shouldve gone for something more new. This video really helped me appreciate my purchase and sticking with my choice!
I am in the same situation. I joined fujifilm system with XT4 and I was selling Nikon Equipment, but finally i changed my mind and I kept the D750 and a couple of lenses (Tamrin Sp 35 and Nikon 85 1.8)
Good call. Thanks for watching and commenting. Have a great weekend 📸🙏
Wow the timing of this video! Exactly what I needed Adrian, I think I'll go ahead and buy a used d750. Thanks again!
Great video Adrian, the Nikon D750 looks a great all round camera . The details and the colours of the dragonfly was superb, and as for the kookaburra shot, WOW Thanks for sharing mate 👍 Cheers,Cliff
Thanks very much for watching Cliff. Those Kookaburra and Dragonfly shots did take me by surprise I have to admit. Could not believe when I lifted the shadows and saw that little face and beak in there looking at me. Hope you're well mate and have a great weekend, cheers 📸🙏
Love my d750 too! Great video! Just asking, is the tamron 18-400mm compatible to our d750?
The birdsnest shot with the actual bird hiding in the dark…amazing. 😮 By the time the Nikon 750 came out I was still a Sony man but after getting my hands on a D850 2 years back Im stuck with Nikon.
Many thanks for watching.
I'm pretty much like you,why buy a new car when my it's almost new,low miles and in perfect condition? Paid 30 ,it's only 6 years old and a newone will cost me 65.000. I bought the camera early 2015 and in 2023 I found myself still loving it like in day one. This year,been the eighth since I have it, I'll start experimenting with video for a while and all dough it's only 1080, it'll do ( for a long while provably). Thank you for your very ediucated and positive thoughts on this wonderful camera.
Good stuff, Adrian! I bet you would love a D780. Works like a D750 when in normal shooting mode and like a Z6 in live view! I've never talked to anyone who owns a D750 who doesn't like it.
Many thanks for watching Phil. I'm happy with this D750, I have to actually use it today to do some studio shots for my wife's new ebook. Have a great weekend mate, cheers 🙏📸
You are not alone. Gave mine to my daughter with the caveat, if she ever wants to "upgrade" I want it back. I replaced it in my 850/750 kit wit a 780 for the better video specifically because it does a better job shooting youth sports training videos. Other than that, its a SLIGHTLY cleaned up 750, and I'll not ever get rid of it either.
Hi Adrian, I just got a Z50 for its light weight and speed, I love it. But like you I love the D750 so much that I won’t give it up. Agree every bits you said in the video, from the first day it is a good camera for photographer who knows what he needs. Never envy the higher pixels camera, d750 give me what I need, as some said, I if the pictures are not good enough, it is the photographer that is not good enough, not the camera.
Thanks for sharing 🙏
Went mirrorless some time ago, then back to DSLRs. It's great to have a battery that can last all day, and when I push the shutter, the images are always perfect. The feel and sound of the click is prime.
I’ve been shooting with the Nikon d700 for the longest time. Even shooting paid work with it last year. I love that camera! I’ve semi converted over to the Sony alpha system for its autofocus and video capability. But I still have great Nikon glass and with dslr out of favor now it’s a great time to pick up even more great glass for great value. I ordered the d750 from Adorama yesterday for just under $500 usd. I am excited to fall in love with the next generation of Nikon d7xx! I agree the colors and character of these cameras is fabulous.
I have a D750, when we were in Vietnam recently I had trouble with my camera bag zip, it got difficult to open and close. I was standing in a market looking at some shoes when I heard a loud thunk, and my camera was sitting on the footpath. The zip had given way and the camera fell out. I had the Nikon 50mm 1.4 lens on it and both of them survived the fall and still work perfectly. Not even a scratch. Still takes beautiful clear shots.
Beautiful images, I don’t blame you for keeping it. I would. Love shooting my Z7II and my other camera for fun or just great shots is my old XT2 bought 2nd hand. Never selling it.
Thanks so much for watching Laurel. Really appreciated. Have a great weekend, cheers 📸🙏
I have owned a d750 for 5 years. It works great. I like it so much I just bought one that had low shutter count to have another one!
Got my two D750 bodies in 2015...Shot 1000s of images with them...Be it weddings, events, corporate head shots,food, real estate even corporate related video work... Have been the backbone of all my work...both of them through a lot and not many outside parts are left 😊...But still works...❤
Enjoyed the humor Adrian, you must keep your partner in stitches when working on your videos. I’ve never had a D750, I jumped from a D7000 to my D850. I must admit that I don’t use the D7000 very much anymore, while the photos I took with it were very nice, the D850 is so much more superior in every way. Anyway, thanks again and looking forward to you next video.
Thanks for watching Leo. She couldn't stop laughing at me, but eventually we got a snippet of video for the dodgy dealer haha! I'm using the D750 tomorrow to start photography work on my wife's new ebook. Lots of general lifestyle and food shots. Love using the D750 for stuff like that. Have a great weekend, cheers 📸🙏
@@adrianalfordphotography interesting, you must share a link for your wife’s ebook. I’m sure my wife would be interested in it.
The D750 is my main DSLR. I have a Sony cropped frame mirrorless, but that's for long walks (lightweight) rather than just relying on smart phone, but not moving on from full frame DSLR to mirrorless any time soon. I second that awesome shadow recovery at night time - quite unbelievable the first couple of times. Shutter stuck on high speeds and had to be replaced - during COVID which was a real hassle. Never wanted for higher resolution or more pixels and the compact file size always helps - stills and video.
Love my D750. Beautiful pictures & colors. Easy to hold due to size & weight. Have had Nikons now for 35 yrs. Lots of analogue cameras (favorite 8008) including F3, FM-2 & 4 others. The 750 & my 8008 are amazing. Favorite lens is my old Nikon 70-200 f4. Still favorite over half a dozen other Nikon lenses & use with the 750 90% of the time. Shoot mostly birds, wildlife & Sunrise/Sunsets. I am not a pro, just love photography. Thank you for your video.
I absolutely love my D750. I use it mostly for low light concerts.
Thanks for watching and commenting 🙏
Ok, I'm a previous Canon apsc owner and I did the jump towards the full frame with this camera and I don't know why.. but it went really good, despite big difference in the menu, after two weeks I started to find the options at the first attempt.. great sensor very good image quality. I'm happy with the change!
I just bought a secondhand D750 and... It's everything I wanted a camera to be.
It’s awesome 🤩
I’m very happy with my D750. I do landscapes and Astro, and it works great for that!
After using 2 D200s for a long time, saved money and bought a D750, and yes all you say is true. My only regret is not having bought TWO D750s, but I did get a D7200 and this duo will stay with me. One of my D200s works still!. With all that glass bought along the years, can't even think of getting one of those new models. Maybe in my next life, haha...!
I have an old Nikon D750 and am just now learning how to use it. I am an analog amature photographer så digital is new to me, that is why I love the D750. This camera will serve me the rest of my life 🙂
Finally upgraded to a D750 from DX last year. Really like it as well as the DSLR attributes.
I actually just bought this camera last month. Well, I bought one body, that one had an issue with the sensor, even though the site said it was in excellent condition. I sent it back and got a second body and that one works just fine.
I got it to be my main camera and my D600 will be my backup camera. I mainly shoot stills, and I find that this camera body works best for me. I have the 50mm 1.8 and I love that one. It was my first non-kit lens. I also have the 85mm 1.8, 105mm 2.8 VR, and the 70-200mm 2.8 VRII. I do want to get a wide angle zoom, but that can wait. I'm focusing on portraits, and boudoir photography. Along with street photography. I plan to jump to mirrorless later this year (saving for it now), but I'm never getting rid of my DSLR bodies.
Great video and photos! I really like your thoughts on this and feel the same way about my D700 & D800
Thanks so much for watching. Have a great weekend, cheers 🙏
Hello Adrian, I feel the same way. The D750 was my first FF Nikon DSLR body and despite owning a D850, Z9 and a brand new F6 (yes, a film body and Nikon's last), it seems like I grab the D750 first. It still is a great camera, especially as you mentioned, in low light.
Another great video that I'm glad you posted.
Thanks for watching, cheers 🙏
Im pondering upgrading to a d750 from my d7100. Want to try full frame.
I had two D750s and used them while traveling for many trips to Europe but my age and the weight of carrying two cameras and the rest of the kit drove me to M43 which I really like. I sold one but could not separate myself from the lovely photos and the pleasure of using this great camera. I will not sell my remaining D750, just too many great photos from the past and many more to come. Thanks for the reminder of how good this camera is. Frankly, I kept it to help prevent me from buying a mirrorless full frame camera, so far it has worked.
Thanks for watching and commenting 🙏
It handles macro well, very forgiving! Landscapes, I agree, it does well and provides true colour ranges well also.
I have a D750 as my main DSLR and a D7200 as a backup/wildlife camera. As photography is a hobby and does not generate an income I find it hard to justify upgrading. I don't feel restricted by the D750 or that I am missing any features. Maybe as the Z series cameras start to make their way onto the used market and get a bit cheaper I'll consider changing but for now the D750 does everything I need.
Hi, same here. However, not completely happy... I upgraded to a used D750 from a D7200. Don't know if it's my unit, but the D750 tends to blow-out highlights more often than the D7200. For the same settings, for shots taken with the D7200 I just pull down the HL slider in LR and get details, but on the D750 I need to be extra careful in the field with the settings. Did you notice this also or it's just my camera? Thanks if you manage to answer.
I recently bought the big brother D780 wowwww what a camera !!!!! Well I'll be buying a used D750 as my backup no better combination.
Had mine for 3 years. Love it. Don't know what I'm going to do when it breaks.
Always enjoy your watching your point of view on things.
I’ve owned my D750 since 2014, and it works as good now as it did brand new. No plans on upgrading any time soon, as it sits well with my IPhone 14 pro max.
I love mine so much I am considering buying a back up d750.
my second camera after the z6II . And I use both.
Even my old d300s I still have . Great tank camera.
Thanks! Yes, I own a D750 since 2015 now and am quite happy with it. Sometimes a rather slow AF with the 70-200 / 2,8 zoom ... but I know that I will never ever quit using a DSLR, just because I love the sound of the clic plus: I want an optical viewfinder and nothing processed! So: I also won't ever sell this fine tool.
