I have been using the D750 for around 9 months now, I mainly shoot live music events where getting the correct exposure is always a challenge, especially with the new brighter spotlights. The D750 is a flawless performer in this environment, the auto focus is lightning fast and images are pin sharp. I spent an age trying to decide between the D750 and D810 but am really glad I chose the D750
+LUITE.TV Of course price was a factor, though not the main one. File size was also an issue. I have taken around 20K images this year so storing so many large files is an issue. I also like to play around with compositing in Photoshop so again smaller files was a good thing. The file size on the D750 allows me to print out to around 30 inches in very hi res, much larger on canvas, I need to update my second camera so am thinking about a D810 but I will wait to see the D5 before I jump. I also loved the feel of the D750 in my hand it really is beautifully balanced, even with a 70 - 200mm F2.8 lens. When you are working a music festival and are carrying your cameras for 12 hours balance is a real issue
Quite a good and nice review and among other things you brought up a few important facts such as the D810 is for the pro oriented shooters and the D750 more for the enthusiasts. However, you forgot to mention a few facts: First of all these cameras have a completely different AF system. The D810 have a wider autofocus point area compared to the D750, so comparing these two can be tricky indeed and even pointless at least to some extent. The difference is about one autofocus point wider on the D810 both horizontally and vertically. When the D750 runs out on autofocus points you can still go one point further toward the edges with the D810. This can mean a lot in many scenarios. The difference is even bigger and more noticeable in portrait mode (vertically). So this means that first of all the D810 tracks action slightly better because of the wider spread out focus points and for those who composes and uses all the 51 auto focus points a lot in their photography the D810 offers far better possibilities. In low light the D810 focuses marginally faster overall compared to the D750 when including all the 51 auto focus points/sensors. EISA tests the entire viewfinder frame (not only the center auto-focus point) and they also test the outer autofocus points and in this case the D810 (which has the same AF system as the D4S) has an OVERALL faster autofocus performance in low light versus the D750 according to the test results. The difference is MARGINAL and not even noticeable by the human eye. The D810 focuses in 0.46 seconds and the D750 focuses in 0.67 seconds. So the D810 is marginally faster and it has a better and wider autofocus point area compared to the D750. The autofocus points are clearly wider on the D810. The D810 wins over the D750 at any given print size and ISO. The print quality is better on the D810 at any reproduction size and ISO setting. With the D810 at ISO-25600 you can make good 8 x 10 inch prints, surprisingly usable and showing only minor "film-grain-like" noise in flatter areas of the test target. To achieve a "good" print at this size is a rare feature indeed and not achievable by many cameras in this class as yet (facts from Imaging Resource). With the D750 at ISO 25600 you can make usable prints up to 5 x 7 inches, noise and lack of detail prevents anything larger (facts from Imaging Resource). The D810 wins over the D750. Imaging Resource bases their evaluations on a fairly stringent standard, that has proven surprisingly consistent between three of the members at IRHQ over the last couple of years. The D810 is better for sports and action and it can shoot at 5, 6 or 7 fps with a superior buffer at any resolution setting compared to the D750 that merely lasts for about 2.2 embarrassing seconds before the buffer fills up. There's no need to whine and complain about having to shoot in 16MP DX mode to get 7 FPS, keep in mind that even the Nikon D4S also offers ""only"" 16 MP, same as the D810. Worrying about 16MP is not a professional approach. You can use both the DX and FX to your full advantage. Shooting in FX(36MP) and quickly within a fraction of a second switch to 16MP(DX) without taking your eye away from the viewfinder is pretty cool. And the buffer in 16MP mode or 1.2x mode is awesome on the D810. You can shoot and shoot and shoot without having to worry about the buffer. That's why you can use better settings on the professional level D810. It's a great feature to be able to shoot at 7 fps with the D810 because it's clearly faster than 6.5 fps in comparison to the D750 (which also has a crippled and very limited buffer). Here is one example: at the time when the buffer fills up on the D750 after merely 2.2 embarrassing seconds, the D810 will still continue at 7fps 14-bit lossless highest quality 16 MP RAW for a very long time before the buffer fills up thus securing and nailing all the shots you take with the D810. Meanwhile the D750 user will have to wait for the buffer to clear and sadly misses the shots altogether. After the buffer is cleared he/she can take another short burst that merely lasts the embarrassing 2.2 seconds. Furthermore, the AF sensor array on the Nikon D810 covers nearly the entire DX framing area. This means that your entire image capture area is almost totally covered with AF sensors when shooting in 16MP mode. A pretty cool and effective tool. So to sum it up: A) The D750 is not at all superior at high ISO B) The crippled and limited buffer in the D750 is not suitable for action C) The D810 excels over the D750 at any photography scenario you can think of except (and this is the only thing) videography, Wi-Fi and the tilting screen. D) I also believe (this is solely my personal opinion and not a documented fact) that all the official recalls and shutter replacement and "Err" issues must have had some negative effect on the popularity of the D750 even if Nikon have been very active in trying to fix all the issues. I truly believe that Nikon will fix everything. At the end of the day both are very good cameras and I love both but the D810 is at least the winner over the D750 when it comes to photography.
The D810 also cost $1000 more and higher up the food chain, it should be better. I don't understand why you wrote all that to say the same thing Nikon already says in its depth chart. The main thing for people is the cost to value ratio. If you do not need all those pro features found in the D810, would D750 make more sense? Would it make more sense to spend that $1000 saved, on a great glass? Again, we all know the D810 is better. It is the cost, need, value ratio that is the question. The answer is different for everyone.
That might have been true when you wrote that comment, but in 2022 used prices for the d810 are only about $100-200 more than the d750. I’m looking at a d810 right now with only 8K clicks for $850 whereas D750s in similar condition are about $750. While this resale value is obviously better as a seller for the d750, as a buyer a used d810 is a far better value than a used d750. Considering the d810 has more pro features as exhaustively stated in the OP’s comment, I’ll go with the d810. And FWIW, I found the OP’s comment very helpful in making my decision.
Good point about D810 sRAW (small raw) file size when compared to D750 there is not much advantage. Nikon D750 shoot 26.9MP RAW files (14 bit lossless). Nikon D810 shoots 40.7 MP RAW (14 bit lossless) or 29MP sRAW (12 bit compressed). Compressed sRAW data losses color data and shadow detail and makes editing files like editing JPEG. sRAW is bad idea if you value editing photos: exposure, highlights, shadows, blacks, whites, etc.
I do wildlife photography and have used a Canon 7d, Nikon 7100 among many others... 24mp is way sufficient for detail, in sports, wildlife, portraits... Don't let anyone tell you otherwise people... Because if they do... it's bullshit. It's how clean those mp are that is important.
so what is ''pro'' camera? i remember when they make nikon d2,it was 5k $...now entry level camera like nikon d3300 for 500$ beat it in every single way...there is no ''pro'' camera only pro photographer
Yeah I know what you mean, but I refer to pro cameras by the amount of weather sealing and the lack of an auto setting...ie camera that is designed to be used by a pro photographer :)
sorry but what a dumb statement, there is no pro camera?? yeah the best cameras are aimed at pro users who require the best available tech to remain competitive in the current environment.so while a d2 was a pro level camera in its day, the d4 is now it's equivalent the d3300 was never aimed now should will be used for professional work unless it is a gimmick like look what I can do with average gear stuff...I bet you Chase isnt rocking to a real money gig with a 3300 in his kit.
***** Clients should be hiring you based on what/how your images look, not by what gear you have. Just because someone may have say D4s, doesn't mean their photos will be better or more unique, clientele have to realize this and focus more on, how a photographers images look. Like having a Ferrari against a WRX for of rallying, one has the great name and all the bells and whistles, but will not be good at off road. I would prefer a older D3s over a 810 or a D750 for weddings, but that's just me.
the d750 raw files are already quite a bit smaller than the d810, so not sure if that is really an best way to make a decision on which camera, not really sold on sRaw either. Unless you really need 36mp(blowing up to billboard sizes) I can't really see a reason to spend the extra $$ on the d810 vs the d750, imo money better spent on better glass. d750 coming in with better autofocus/tracking, better low light, wifi, & titling screen(actually very useful). Only in some extreme circumstances would the faster shutter speed be needed, and neither of these camera's are exactly the best choice for major sports/wild life photography.
Thanks for the review. I just got the D750. My logic is that I use the camera in the field. The weight and size with the faster frame rate make it worthy for me.
So far, I like it a lot. Coming from the D300 and other previous pro level digital and film bodies I was concerned about the build quality and the access to functions via buttons and not menus. I shoot a lot of HDR and the dedicated BKT button is great. I have the buttons configured such that I can access every function I use via a button so it meets my needs. The build quality is good too. My only complaint is I cant find a screen protector that will clip on the articulating LCD screen. I have been known to slide down slopes and have my camera sliding on the ground or rocks. I worry about damaging the screen. I replaced several of the plastic clip-ons with my D300. Now I will have to be more careful. The image quality is amazing! The low light ability and focus is spot on. I can focus on objects in the dark that I can barely make out details with my eyes. I am very impressed with the color reproduction and the detail of the photos I have taken. It beats any camera I have seen to date.
Thanks for the info. I traded in my D800 for the D810 (kept the grip) and I love it... My daughter traded in her D600 for the D750 and I've been using it the last couple of days and I notice the difference in the AF system... I didn't even know why until now, but I can tell you having hands on experience it is better. It's a wonderful camera for most people. However, I order a second D810 because I need the dynamic range and detail. I also have kept my D3s for sports and don't plan on upgrading it with a D4 or D4s... I'll think about it when I Nikon comes out with a new model.
The cost is always an individuals call, but I will tell you that for me it is well worth the extra money... If you are just getting into FX make sure that you have lenses to match... Good glass will always last and camera technology will change next year...Good luck and happy shooting.
pap cy I've personally been saving up to upgrade from my d5200 and f70. I was personally expecting Nikon to come out with a D7200 this year. I was going to either buy a d7200, or a d610, but as we know now, Nikon did not release a d7200, but instead the d750. After comparing the d750 with a d610, which I was going to get, I've decided to get a d750. I highly recommend it, based on the specs, and other reviews I've seen. I'm going to pick mine up within a month. However, if you don't mind the MASSIVE files of a d800, you can get a used d800 that's in excellent 8+/10 rating, from BHPhotoVideo, for about the same price, as a new d750. If you have A TON of harddrive space, go for a used d800. If not, the d750 REALLY is your best bet.
Polishsmile5 Also, make sure you invest in good glass, when going with either of these.Glass is more important than camera sensor, (refer to DigitalRevTV youtube for this). What good is a camera if you have shit glass on it, that distrots your images, not allowing you to use your expensive body to it's full potential. I highly recommend the 50mm 1.8D or the 1.4G as your first lens, as their only 100$ and 400$. Out of all of Nikon's 50mm lenses, the 1.8D has the best glass quality, and is only $100 due to it's age. However don't be fooled, as Nikon still makes them, due to their popularity. If you have the extra money, and you know for a fact that you'll be shooting in extreme low light, or will be selling professional BOKEH, get the 50mm 1.4. Unless you're making money from your shooting, you don't need a 50mm 1.4. I also recommend not getting variable-aperature zoom lenses. Save up directly for the Holy trinity of f2.8 zoom lenses. If you can tell yourself "i'm not going to be shooting so much that I need the good lenses", whats the point of getting such a nice camera? So this is my "Rant" on the importance of lenses, and which lenses to get.
I looked at both the Nikon D750 and the Nikon D810 camera and as much as I like the Nikon D810, I bought the Nikon D750. It was a difficult decision but I really didn't see me needing all those megapixels Nikon put in the D810. So far I'm been very happy with my Nikon D750, it really is a great camera.
Definitely Nikon D810 ,Iso:64; S.S.:1/8000; No Low Pass filter and electronic first curtain.. I think that's enough :)!!! D750 is great camera ,the Nikon D810 is on another planet!!!!
Coming from D600, I'm going with D810 because I already have the PRO glass (85 1.4G, 16-35 f/4, 24-70, 70-200V2, 50 1.4G) and want the best possible sensor out there now also the sharpest to make full use of my lenses. No OPLF/AA filter, 36MP, 64 base ISO, D4S AF module, super quiet shutter, electronic shutter, AF back focus button and PRO sized body.
HI Adam, I to have an D800 and will be upgrading to an 810 shortly From what I have seen and read on line - there is not much that comes anywhere near it
I just upgraded from a crop sensor (D5600) to the D810 in the past month. Even with the release of the D850, the D810 is still an extremely relevant piece of technology. I didn't feel like I needed a 45-megapixel behemoth, and I don't have the money to invest in upgrading my glass at the moment. I understand that as I increase dynamic range, the deficiencies of my lenses would become more apparent. Using a cheap lens on a D850 would be like putting low-grade fuel in one's Ferrari. So two weeks into the D810, and I am extremely happy with my choice. I seriously considered the D750, but I felt the D810 was more suited for my needs at this time and gave me room to grow. Would I have liked the D850? Sure. But I had a limited budget and got the best camera I could afford without breaking the bank. And I don't have the time to be messing around with such a huge file in post. My D810 does everything I want and need it to do, and has exceeded my expectation in every way and I'm still learning it's capabilities.
Chris Kay hey friend, I think I have the similar situation as yours. I’m currently using D5600 and planning to upgrade to D810. So before I buy I am still thinking whether D750 is the better option. Since you were using D5600 too what makes you to choose D810 instead of D750?
Thanks for the response, you are a true gentleman. Since you were so helpful, maybe you can help me with another question; background, in 2010 I upgraded my wedding photog equipment from DX to FX, hence the 3 new d810s & lenses, I was in a terrible accident/disabled, now only need 3 more operation & the say I can get back to work...my question where I need some help, I also purchased 3 Metz 76 MZ5 strobe units with (3) P76 Power Packs (all brand new) one of the P76 power Packs just died (the other 2 are on trickle charge @ 100% charged) not sure if any of them will actually hold a charge, but at very least I need to know where/how to repair/refurbish these discontinued products or if there is an alternative power pack that would work with Nikon iTTL Thanks for your consideration @@BluePacificMedia
@@jackedwards9048 sorry to hear about the accident and hope you recover quickly. Not familiar with those units. For weddings i prefer to stay light and mobile so I use strobes. Personally i use the yongnuo units as they are cheap, the controller offers multiple zones and if the wind takes one out they are easily replaced. Batt strobes are more for studio or fashion shoots where the goal is the images as apposed to a wedding where you need to work around the event schedule and hectic people 😂
Hey, I'm a semi-pro; I am typically participating in shoots of events, such as performances. I have a D700 and really like its focus accuracy, robustness, and pro-oriented button functions. Besides being fairly happy still with the D700 I found myself wanting 2 extra stops during indoor shooting conditions, where I like to crank the shutter speed over 1/100th (for example some of these performances are martial arts). Would the D810 be a sensible upgrade over the D700? D750 does not appear to be as robust (from a pro perspective) compared to D700/D810.
So basically I'm deciding between the D500 (DX), D750 (FX), and D810 (FX). I'm really hung up on the fact that the D750 has an AA filter because it reduces the sharpness so much. The D500 doesn't. I was wondering if the D810 has one?
So...I have choice between D750 with 23K shutter count and great condition...vs D810 90k shutter count with back rubber peeling off and meh... cosmetic condition....for same price... which one should I go with?
I really like that you pronounce Nikon properly. :-) Can you please say is viewfinder comparable with one in D810 or D3 line? I was owner of D3.and somehow viewfinder from D800 was kind a better.lightly,but was. Thank you in advance.
Hey Adam, How would you say the D810 is with shooting (indoor) gigs and also surfing shots? Looks like it would be fine but would you recommend any canon stuff over this?
I started with a Canon rebel T5I. Now getting in to wedding and sweet 16 what do you recommend for long term investment D750 D810 or Canon 5Diii? Thank you.
Great review! I am looking to move up to full frame and I am trying to decide which one. I hear that the D750 has a small, tight grip for the right hand. I am wondering if that would be uncomfortable for a lot of guys. Also curious if the 36mp images on the D810 are going to fill up my hard drive much quicker.
Hi, am beginer photographer and its first time to use full frame camera, for shooting weddings and birthday's . So which camera is better for me.? Tank you.
Adam, I dropped my D750 in the sea for 3 sec while doing a bikni shoot and got hurt while i tried to save camera. Not sure whether water gone inside the body or not. Took off the battery and kept inside dry rice. Heard a lot abt salt water vs electronics (really worried now). Anyways does it worth waiting for few days before i try turning it on or shall i take it to service centre or do u recommend anything?
OMG, gear channels drive me nuts. Pixels don't capture more detailed images. They only interpolated the image. If you shoot the same lens, on two different cameras with the same sized and quality sensor, and made the max sized print of in respect to the native resolution of the smaller pixel camera the image will render the same detail as the camera with more mega pixels at the same size. The only difference is that the camera with more mega pixels is that it allows you to make bigger prints and tighter crops without losing detail. If you want more detail you need to step up to medium or large format, not a camera with more mega pixels. Large mega pixel sensors are for making prints larger than 40x30 inches.
Hi Adam. Great vid. I do mostly concerts, parties, clubs, and a lot of low light shoots with a D300. I've been looking to upgrade to a full frame now. Which would be better for my type of shoots? Which has better ISO and fps for concerts?
Erik Turtinen sure but not often at all. and even then, the difference between 1/8000 and 1/4000 is only one stop. lower your iso one stop and you got a work-around. lacking 1/8000 is no deal breaker.
Great video thanks for posting. I'm a pro shooter using the d800, I really love the camera. But I'm looking for a smaller file size second camera fx. What's you thoughts on the nikon df? Many thanks
Hi adam, i need your advice on which camera should i get? Nikon d810 or should i wait for the canon 5d mark iv? I'm into portrait and landscape photography. I'm looking forward to your response. Thank you in advance.
Same situation as you fella,been shooting 5d mk 2 and 1ds mk 2 for years and was waiting on the Canon mk 4. But you know what i bought the d810 and the pce 24mm just for landscapes and im way happy with that decision. The D810 i just love and that tilt and shift lens suits me fine for my landscapes. Will add more nikon gear as i go,but saving up for maybe a 24-70 for portraits or just stick with my canon gear for that.
+thatmanfromyorkshire Yeah, i heard nothing but good things about the nikon d810 especially on their dynamic range. I've never own both of these systems before, but a friend of mine owned a 5d3 and told me to wait for the 5d4, it should be a better upgrade on the 5d3. However, the d810 has higher mega pixel as well as higher resolution and i should say better for portrait and landscape. I'll just wait and see if the 5d4 can out performs the d810 in overall performance and that remains to be seen.
+Philip Ypon I was waiting and waiting for the 5d 4 and got fed up of it. Just thought i need to do something and i did. I am seriously thinking of selling my canon gear and getting another nikon body as back up and then get two other lenses and maybe a flash or 2 and thats it. I do just enjoy the nikon so much, i been a canon shooter for 24-5 years and for me its about the image not the name, and the nikon just works great. Bit of a pain having to relearn the nikon but hey ho thats life.
I'm with you on this one too Yorkshireman. I'll keep my Canon gear for now, but if the D810 lives up to expectations, I might even sell the Canon 500mm f4 to get good Nikon glass. I'm a motorcycle racing photographer, so the D810 might be a handful to begin with and I don't shoot more then two or three frames at a time, so frame rate is not an issue. Now just waiting for the D810 to get here
@@BluePacificMedia if you can ask another question, I also liked this lens nikon AF-S 20mm f/1.8G ED, which of the two will be the best choice in your opinion
Hello there Adam, I actually just bought the Nikon D750 with the kit lens & I wanted to buy a second body & I'm debating between the Nikon D3s (used but good condition), or another D750 (brand-new or just used), or a used D810 (also used but good condition), I only shoot JPEG, I don't shoot sports, or wildlife, but pretty much everything else, from Weddings, portraits, live events, fashion shoots you name it… I was originally using the D700 & I was extremely happy with it (I still own it)|… It's only drawback it did not have video, I also don't use postprocessing that often except when highly needed… I shoot small clips and/or small episodes… So what is your recommendations for me is the video on the Nikon D3s, horrible? Considering the fact that I shoot only JPEG would the large files of the D810 really make a difference? Please provide your opinion based on picture quality/sharpness/colors and focusing system. Thank you very much for your time, I highly appreciate it… :-)
Just grab another d750, the colors exposures etc will match better if you aren't really processing your images...consider also shooting raw to 1 card and jpg to the second card if you are going to shoot weddings, if for some reason you mis expose an important shot RAW may allow you to recover it when jpg won't...better to be safe then sorry.
Adam Lewis Would your answer still be the same even if I didn't own D750, because most people say if you already own a specific camera model, it is better to stick with the same camera model… But everybody keeps talking about how the D3s is an unbeatable beast… CF cards are faster to record?… I always shoot continuous high when I'm shooting weddings almost always.… So what is your final verdict? D3s, D810, or D750? The question is more specifically to the focusing point/focus speed… Overall picture sharpness/Clarity…? considering the new combo raw + JPEG :-) thanks again for your time.
Yeah d3s is a beast but video is no good, by today's standards. As for the jpg thing look, if you are being paid to shoot a wedding then shoot RAW, but the d750 you have if it is working for you then grab a second, a d810 is a killer portrait beast, but again shooting only jpg's is like driving a Ferrari at 15mph...just my humble opinion...happy shooting.
Adam Lewis Okay so basically go for the D3s if video is out of the question, I will consider shooting raw because some shots did become underexposed & postprocessing is a pain with JPEG as you say, no I don't get paid for my photos they are either for family, or lots & lots of friends that I do it as a gift or services for the church. Thanks for the help man I greatly appreciate it.
Hi Adam. Am planing to buy D810 next week for Photoshooting in Bhutan on January but I also worry that Nikon will update the model to D850 anytime soon as I heard from the rumours. What do you advice? Thanks.
please help me decide...if you should choose only 1 or 2 lenses for nikon d750 (fx) body which one you think the best lens range for wedding (the most usefull)? 16-35mm(nikon f4 VR) , 24mm (nikon f1.8g), 35mm (sigma f1.4 ART), 85mm (nikon 1.8g) or else? please can you sort from the best choice to the worst ..
@@satyayaya14 More than enough. You need two cameras for weddings anyway. Get 28/35 depending on how many times You shoot bridal prep in small rooms and also get an 85.
The sRAW drops down to 9mp, so it would be interesting to see where the image quality falls off in relation to post production. My 7D has RAW, mRAW and sRAW. mRAW on the D810 would be ideal, 9mp is a little too light for this camera imo.
if you want 10mp raw files get a d700 and save yourself 2k dollars? and you won't get them "cooked" like this S raw that nikon introduced... some people claim is almost as bad as a jpeg... do your homework before you jump on the d810 because of this feature.
Adam Lewis If you also say you are shooting video the D810 is not an upgrade to the D800 it is an upgrade to the D800E so it has not lowpass filter. The D750 does have a lowpass filter that does away with moire while recording, not only that but it has an adjustable screen and better ISO performance during video. Certainly do your homework because the D750 has been rated the best DSLR for recording video on the market so far. Good luck with your purchase. I am going to get the D750 during the holiday season because it is more of an all purpose field camera for me I can confidently put my camera over a crowds head and record during concerts, better low light focusing, ISO, etc.
you want to shoot at f2.8 in bight sunlight and that 1/8000th option comes in handy...other wise you use an ND but on the fly I prefer the option to crank up the shutter when needed.
Adam. for studio portraits does D810 image quality have a visible edge over that of the D750? Specs are superior but in practice is the D750 already so good that the bump in mp and elimination of AA filter of D810 do or do not render a visible improvement? Thanks!
+Niels Schaap Well put. I own a D750 and am SO pleased with the purchase. Amazing IQ and low light autofocus and high ISO gives you a nice break in low light too. For my second camera I was wondering whether to get another D750 or try the D810. I shoot events and shows but increasingly studio portrait and headshot. I agree with you that most people think more pixels is better, when in reality it's a tradeoff of pixel size vs pixel count and they have different strengths. I decided to try the D810 oddly enough mostly because of the quiet shutter. I have encountered many situations where the D750 shutter was too noisy (e.g. photographing at a comedy club or during a talk at a large event). The shutter of the D810 is substantially quieter. Also I am just curious about the impact of high resolution. Is it possible that the high resolution of D810 plus lack of an AA filter would put my portraits into medium format IQ territory or do you really just need the larger sensor for that? It was a tossup because the advantage of owning two D750 would be consistency in use at events where speed and accuracy really count. And no one on earth will ever complain about the IQ of that D750 :-)
No idea about the 5D-3 but imo all DSLR audio should be considered monitor audio...I gave up on it and now only use the zoom h6 (I have a video on that kit)...happy shooting

I have been using the D750 for around 9 months now, I mainly shoot live music events where getting the correct exposure is always a challenge, especially with the new brighter spotlights. The D750 is a flawless performer in this environment, the auto focus is lightning fast and images are pin sharp. I spent an age trying to decide between the D750 and D810 but am really glad I chose the D750
+LUITE.TV Of course price was a factor, though not the main one. File size was also an issue. I have taken around 20K images this year so storing so many large files is an issue. I also like to play around with compositing in Photoshop so again smaller files was a good thing. The file size on the D750 allows me to print out to around 30 inches in very hi res, much larger on canvas,
I need to update my second camera so am thinking about a D810 but I will wait to see the D5 before I jump.
I also loved the feel of the D750 in my hand it really is beautifully balanced, even with a 70 - 200mm F2.8 lens. When you are working a music festival and are carrying your cameras for 12 hours balance is a real issue
Quite a good and nice review and among other things you brought up a few important facts such as the D810 is for the pro oriented shooters and the D750 more for the enthusiasts.
However, you forgot to mention a few facts:
First of all these cameras have a completely different AF system. The D810 have a wider autofocus point area compared to the D750, so comparing these two can be tricky indeed and even pointless at least to some extent. The difference is about one autofocus point wider on the D810 both horizontally and vertically. When the D750 runs out on autofocus points you can still go one point further toward the edges with the D810. This can mean a lot in many scenarios. The difference is even bigger and more noticeable in portrait mode (vertically). So this means that first of all the D810 tracks action slightly better because of the wider spread out focus points and for those who composes and uses all the 51 auto focus points a lot in their photography the D810 offers far better possibilities.
In low light the D810 focuses marginally faster overall compared to the D750 when including all the 51 auto focus points/sensors. EISA tests the entire viewfinder frame (not only the center auto-focus point) and they also test the outer autofocus points and in this case the D810 (which has the same AF system as the D4S) has an OVERALL faster autofocus performance in low light versus the D750 according to the test results.
The difference is MARGINAL and not even noticeable by the human eye. The D810 focuses in 0.46 seconds and the D750 focuses in 0.67 seconds. So the D810 is marginally faster and it has a better and wider autofocus point area compared to the D750. The autofocus points are clearly wider on the D810.
The D810 wins over the D750 at any given print size and ISO. The print quality is better on the D810 at any reproduction size and ISO setting.
With the D810 at ISO-25600 you can make good 8 x 10 inch prints, surprisingly usable and showing only minor "film-grain-like" noise in flatter areas of the test target. To achieve a "good" print at this size is a rare feature indeed and not achievable by many cameras in this class as yet (facts from Imaging Resource).
With the D750 at ISO 25600 you can make usable prints up to 5 x 7 inches, noise and lack of detail prevents anything larger (facts from Imaging Resource). The D810 wins over the D750.
Imaging Resource bases their evaluations on a fairly stringent standard, that has proven surprisingly consistent between three of the members at IRHQ over the last couple of years.
The D810 is better for sports and action and it can shoot at 5, 6 or 7 fps with a superior buffer at any resolution setting compared to the D750 that merely lasts for about 2.2 embarrassing seconds before the buffer fills up.
There's no need to whine and complain about having to shoot in 16MP DX mode to get 7 FPS, keep in mind that even the Nikon D4S also offers ""only"" 16 MP, same as the D810. Worrying about 16MP is not a professional approach.
You can use both the DX and FX to your full advantage. Shooting in FX(36MP) and quickly within a fraction of a second switch to 16MP(DX) without taking your eye away from the viewfinder is pretty cool. And the buffer in 16MP mode or 1.2x mode is awesome on the D810. You can shoot and shoot and shoot without having to worry about the buffer.
That's why you can use better settings on the professional level D810. It's a great feature to be able to shoot at 7 fps with the D810 because it's clearly faster than 6.5 fps in comparison to the D750 (which also has a crippled and very limited buffer).
Here is one example: at the time when the buffer fills up on the D750 after merely 2.2 embarrassing seconds, the D810 will still continue at 7fps 14-bit lossless highest quality 16 MP RAW for a very long time before the buffer fills up thus securing and nailing all the shots you take with the D810. Meanwhile the D750 user will have to wait for the buffer to clear and sadly misses the shots altogether. After the buffer is cleared he/she can take another short burst that merely lasts the embarrassing 2.2 seconds.
Furthermore, the AF sensor array on the Nikon D810 covers nearly the entire DX framing area. This means that your entire image capture area is almost totally covered with AF sensors when shooting in 16MP mode. A pretty cool and effective tool. So to sum it up: A) The D750 is not at all superior at high ISO B) The crippled and limited buffer in the D750 is not suitable for action C) The D810 excels over the D750 at any photography scenario you can think of except (and this is the only thing) videography, Wi-Fi and the tilting screen. D) I also believe (this is solely my personal opinion and not a documented fact) that all the official recalls and shutter replacement and "Err" issues must have had some negative effect on the popularity of the D750 even if Nikon have been very active in trying to fix all the issues. I truly believe that Nikon will fix everything. At the end of the day both are very good cameras and I love both but the D810 is at least the winner over the D750 when it comes to photography.
The D810 also cost $1000 more and higher up the food chain, it should be better. I don't understand why you wrote all that to say the same thing Nikon already says in its depth chart. The main thing for people is the cost to value ratio. If you do not need all those pro features found in the D810, would D750 make more sense? Would it make more sense to spend that $1000 saved, on a great glass?
Again, we all know the D810 is better. It is the cost, need, value ratio that is the question. The answer is different for everyone.
That might have been true when you wrote that comment, but in 2022 used prices for the d810 are only about $100-200 more than the d750. I’m looking at a d810 right now with only 8K clicks for $850 whereas D750s in similar condition are about $750.
While this resale value is obviously better as a seller for the d750, as a buyer a used d810 is a far better value than a used d750.
Considering the d810 has more pro features as exhaustively stated in the OP’s comment, I’ll go with the d810.
And FWIW, I found the OP’s comment very helpful in making my decision.
Got the D750 as an "entry level" FX camera and absolutely love it.
Good point about D810 sRAW (small raw) file size when compared to D750 there is not much advantage. Nikon D750 shoot 26.9MP RAW files (14 bit lossless). Nikon D810 shoots 40.7 MP RAW (14 bit lossless) or 29MP sRAW (12 bit compressed). Compressed sRAW data losses color data and shadow detail and makes editing files like editing JPEG. sRAW is bad idea if you value editing photos: exposure, highlights, shadows, blacks, whites, etc.
I have the 810, its stunning, like having corrective eye surgery :D
I do wildlife photography and have used a Canon 7d, Nikon 7100 among many others... 24mp is way sufficient for detail, in sports, wildlife, portraits... Don't let anyone tell you otherwise people... Because if they do... it's bullshit. It's how clean those mp are that is important.
so what is ''pro'' camera? i remember when they make nikon d2,it was 5k $...now entry level camera like nikon d3300 for 500$ beat it in every single way...there is no ''pro'' camera only pro photographer
Yeah I know what you mean, but I refer to pro cameras by the amount of weather sealing and the lack of an auto setting...ie camera that is designed to be used by a pro photographer :)
Yea, but would you be spending thousands to hire a "pro photographer" who's using D3300 as your wedding photographer at present days?
sorry but what a dumb statement, there is no pro camera?? yeah the best cameras are aimed at pro users who require the best available tech to remain competitive in the current environment.so while a d2 was a pro level camera in its day, the d4 is now it's equivalent the d3300 was never aimed now should will be used for professional work unless it is a gimmick like look what I can do with average gear stuff...I bet you Chase isnt rocking to a real money gig with a 3300 in his kit.
*****
Clients should be hiring you based on what/how your images look, not by what gear you have. Just because someone may have say D4s, doesn't mean their photos will be better or more unique, clientele have to realize this and focus more on, how a photographers images look. Like having a Ferrari against a WRX for of rallying, one has the great name and all the bells and whistles, but will not be good at off road. I would prefer a older D3s over a 810 or a D750 for weddings, but that's just me.
Jay Wolf
If the guy can give good pics. on a D3300, I think he can give more better pics on a D4.
the d750 raw files are already quite a bit smaller than the d810, so not sure if that is really an best way to make a decision on which camera, not really sold on sRaw either. Unless you really need 36mp(blowing up to billboard sizes) I can't really see a reason to spend the extra $$ on the d810 vs the d750, imo money better spent on better glass. d750 coming in with better autofocus/tracking, better low light, wifi, & titling screen(actually very useful). Only in some extreme circumstances would the faster shutter speed be needed, and neither of these camera's are exactly the best choice for major sports/wild life photography.
Thanks for the review. I just got the D750. My logic is that I use the camera in the field. The weight and size with the faster frame rate make it worthy for me.
Very welcome, how are you liking it?
So far, I like it a lot. Coming from the D300 and other previous pro level digital and film bodies I was concerned about the build quality and the access to functions via buttons and not menus. I shoot a lot of HDR and the dedicated BKT button is great. I have the buttons configured such that I can access every function I use via a button so it meets my needs.
The build quality is good too. My only complaint is I cant find a screen protector that will clip on the articulating LCD screen. I have been known to slide down slopes and have my camera sliding on the ground or rocks. I worry about damaging the screen. I replaced several of the plastic clip-ons with my D300. Now I will have to be more careful.
The image quality is amazing! The low light ability and focus is spot on. I can focus on objects in the dark that I can barely make out details with my eyes. I am very impressed with the color reproduction and the detail of the photos I have taken. It beats any camera I have seen to date.
Thanks for the info. I traded in my D800 for the D810 (kept the grip) and I love it... My daughter traded in her D600 for the D750 and I've been using it the last couple of days and I notice the difference in the AF system... I didn't even know why until now, but I can tell you having hands on experience it is better. It's a wonderful camera for most people. However, I order a second D810 because I need the dynamic range and detail. I also have kept my D3s for sports and don't plan on upgrading it with a D4 or D4s... I'll think about it when I Nikon comes out with a new model.
I am about to purchase an fx camera I am between D610( because of the price) and D750 . What do you suggest ?
The cost is always an individuals call, but I will tell you that for me it is well worth the extra money... If you are just getting into FX make sure that you have lenses to match... Good glass will always last and camera technology will change next year...Good luck and happy shooting.
pap cy I've personally been saving up to upgrade from my d5200 and f70. I was personally expecting Nikon to come out with a D7200 this year. I was going to either buy a d7200, or a d610, but as we know now, Nikon did not release a d7200, but instead the d750. After comparing the d750 with a d610, which I was going to get, I've decided to get a d750. I highly recommend it, based on the specs, and other reviews I've seen. I'm going to pick mine up within a month. However, if you don't mind the MASSIVE files of a d800, you can get a used d800 that's in excellent 8+/10 rating, from BHPhotoVideo, for about the same price, as a new d750. If you have A TON of harddrive space, go for a used d800. If not, the d750 REALLY is your best bet.
Polishsmile5 Also, make sure you invest in good glass, when going with either of these.Glass is more important than camera sensor, (refer to DigitalRevTV youtube for this). What good is a camera if you have shit glass on it, that distrots your images, not allowing you to use your expensive body to it's full potential. I highly recommend the 50mm 1.8D or the 1.4G as your first lens, as their only 100$ and 400$. Out of all of Nikon's 50mm lenses, the 1.8D has the best glass quality, and is only $100 due to it's age. However don't be fooled, as Nikon still makes them, due to their popularity. If you have the extra money, and you know for a fact that you'll be shooting in extreme low light, or will be selling professional BOKEH, get the 50mm 1.4. Unless you're making money from your shooting, you don't need a 50mm 1.4.
I also recommend not getting variable-aperature zoom lenses. Save up directly for the Holy trinity of f2.8 zoom lenses. If you can tell yourself "i'm not going to be shooting so much that I need the good lenses", whats the point of getting such a nice camera? So this is my "Rant" on the importance of lenses, and which lenses to get.
I looked at both the Nikon D750 and the Nikon D810 camera and as much as I like the Nikon D810, I bought the Nikon D750. It was a difficult decision but I really didn't see me needing all those megapixels Nikon put in the D810. So far I'm been very happy with my Nikon D750, it really is a great camera.
Definitely Nikon D810 ,Iso:64; S.S.:1/8000; No Low Pass filter and electronic first curtain..
I think that's enough :)!!!
D750 is great camera ,the Nikon D810 is on another planet!!!!
Nice work Adam. Finally a decent unbiased video comparing the two in brief :)
Coming from D600, I'm going with D810 because I already have the PRO glass (85 1.4G, 16-35 f/4, 24-70, 70-200V2, 50 1.4G) and want the best possible sensor out there now also the sharpest to make full use of my lenses. No OPLF/AA filter, 36MP, 64 base ISO, D4S AF module, super quiet shutter, electronic shutter, AF back focus button and PRO sized body.
You didn't mention the most important thing ... wifi capability of the d750 which makes it more practical.
I disagree because d750 shoots better than the d810 in sports photography plus better in low light situation.Like to hear your response
HI Adam, I to have an D800 and will be upgrading to an 810 shortly
From what I have seen and read on line - there is not much that comes anywhere near it
9 years past... and today, Nikon D780 or Z5?
Haven’t kept up with the newer models…but I am all about the z7ii so probably the z5
D810 better for landscapes. D750 for everything else
I am all over the z7ii now…does everything i need and then some.
Which one for landscapes, action (low light and daylight), and wildlife with a Tamron 150-600 G1? I’m coming from a D700
AppleClassicGamer thanks for watching, D750 all day as an all round body
Did you ever upgrade your D700??
which would be best for hand held pet photography, both in the studio or people's homes with and without strobe
I just upgraded from a crop sensor (D5600) to the D810 in the past month. Even with the release of the D850, the D810 is still an extremely relevant piece of technology.
I didn't feel like I needed a 45-megapixel behemoth, and I don't have the money to invest in upgrading my glass at the moment. I understand that as I increase dynamic range, the deficiencies of my lenses would become more apparent.
Using a cheap lens on a D850 would be like putting low-grade fuel in one's Ferrari.
So two weeks into the D810, and I am extremely happy with my choice. I seriously considered the D750, but I felt the D810 was more suited for my needs at this time and gave me room to grow.
Would I have liked the D850? Sure. But I had a limited budget and got the best camera I could afford without breaking the bank. And I don't have the time to be messing around with such a huge file in post.
My D810 does everything I want and need it to do, and has exceeded my expectation in every way and I'm still learning it's capabilities.
Chris Kay hey friend, I think I have the similar situation as yours. I’m currently using D5600 and planning to upgrade to D810. So before I buy I am still thinking whether D750 is the better option. Since you were using D5600 too what makes you to choose D810 instead of D750?
Same here i love my D5600 and looking to upgrade and go profession so either D810 or D850 hmmmm xx
I have 3 brand new d810s are they still good for professional wedding photography or should i update my equipment?
Absolutely fine for any kind of professional shoot. The part that will make them great is you.
Thanks for the response, you are a true gentleman. Since you were so helpful, maybe you can help me with another question; background, in 2010 I upgraded my wedding photog equipment from DX to FX, hence the 3 new d810s & lenses, I was in a terrible accident/disabled, now only need 3 more operation & the say I can get back to work...my question where I need some help, I also purchased 3 Metz 76 MZ5 strobe units with (3) P76 Power Packs (all brand new) one of the P76 power Packs just died (the other 2 are on trickle charge @ 100% charged) not sure if any of them will actually hold a charge, but at very least I need to know where/how to repair/refurbish these discontinued products or if there is an alternative power pack that would work with Nikon iTTL Thanks for your consideration @@BluePacificMedia
@@jackedwards9048 sorry to hear about the accident and hope you recover quickly. Not familiar with those units. For weddings i prefer to stay light and mobile so I use strobes. Personally i use the yongnuo units as they are cheap, the controller offers multiple zones and if the wind takes one out they are easily replaced. Batt strobes are more for studio or fashion shoots where the goal is the images as apposed to a wedding where you need to work around the event schedule and hectic people 😂
Great, thanks. I have being going back and forth on which to get. Now I have to figure out my lens set up. =)
There is (2) recalls on the Nikon D750
Hey, I'm a semi-pro; I am typically participating in shoots of events, such as performances. I have a D700 and really like its focus accuracy, robustness, and pro-oriented button functions. Besides being fairly happy still with the D700 I found myself wanting 2 extra stops during indoor shooting conditions, where I like to crank the shutter speed over 1/100th (for example some of these performances are martial arts). Would the D810 be a sensible upgrade over the D700? D750 does not appear to be as robust (from a pro perspective) compared to D700/D810.
So basically I'm deciding between the D500 (DX), D750 (FX), and D810 (FX). I'm really hung up on the fact that the D750 has an AA filter because it reduces the sharpness so much. The D500 doesn't. I was wondering if the D810 has one?
Austin Hightower the d810 does not have an AA filter
So...I have choice between D750 with 23K shutter count and great condition...vs D810 90k shutter count with back rubber peeling off and meh... cosmetic condition....for same price... which one should I go with?
I really like that you pronounce Nikon properly. :-) Can you please say is viewfinder comparable with one in D810 or D3 line? I was owner of D3.and somehow viewfinder from D800 was kind a better.lightly,but was. Thank you in advance.
Lol, yes I try to say it correctly...I am a fan of the newer VF's by nikon, love the info display for focus etc.
D810 ALL THE WAY!
Which one should I pick for wedding, nature and fashion photography ?
+Adham Hamid D750...spend the extra cash on good glass
Hey Adam,
How would you say the D810 is with shooting (indoor) gigs and also surfing shots? Looks like it would be fine but would you recommend any canon stuff over this?
I started with a Canon rebel T5I. Now getting in to wedding and sweet 16 what do you recommend for long term investment D750 D810 or Canon 5Diii?
Thank you.
Can you afford FX lens's
Great review! I am looking to move up to full frame and I am trying to decide which one. I hear that the D750 has a small, tight grip for the right hand. I am wondering if that would be uncomfortable for a lot of guys. Also curious if the 36mp images on the D810 are going to fill up my hard drive much quicker.
Hi, am beginer photographer and its first time to use full frame camera, for shooting weddings and birthday's . So which camera is better for me.? Tank you.
d750 or the d800?
Adam, I dropped my D750 in the sea for 3 sec while doing a bikni shoot and got hurt while i tried to save camera. Not sure whether water gone inside the body or not. Took off the battery and kept inside dry rice. Heard a lot abt salt water vs electronics (really worried now). Anyways does it worth waiting for few days before i try turning it on or shall i take it to service centre or do u recommend anything?
OMG, gear channels drive me nuts. Pixels don't capture more detailed images. They only interpolated the image. If you shoot the same lens, on two different cameras with the same sized and quality sensor, and made the max sized print of in respect to the native resolution of the smaller pixel camera the image will render the same detail as the camera with more mega pixels at the same size.
The only difference is that the camera with more mega pixels is that it allows you to make bigger prints and tighter crops without losing detail.
If you want more detail you need to step up to medium or large format, not a camera with more mega pixels. Large mega pixel sensors are for making prints larger than 40x30 inches.
Hi Adam. Great vid. I do mostly concerts, parties, clubs, and a lot of low light shoots with a D300. I've been looking to upgrade to a full frame now. Which would be better for my type of shoots? Which has better ISO and fps for concerts?
75o for sure, it's a little smaller n lighter faster better for lowlight and the screen will come in handy
Thanks!
I've been shooting for more than ten years and never in my life have I shot at 1/8000 sec. has anyone really?
mentalmetal1 Ever shoot f/1.4 in broad daylight?
Erik Turtinen sure but not often at all. and even then, the difference between 1/8000 and 1/4000 is only one stop. lower your iso one stop and you got a work-around. lacking 1/8000 is no deal breaker.
+mentalmetal1 Come shoot in Florida haha
+mentalmetal1 totally agree!!!
I actually do. I have a propensity for shooting when the sun is harshest. I dig the extreme contrasts. www.paulmoodyphotography.com/
Great video thanks for posting. I'm a pro shooter using the d800, I really love the camera. But I'm looking for a smaller file size second camera fx. What's you thoughts on the nikon df? Many thanks
nikon df has a slight low light issues and it is over priced. You should choose D750 or a D610
Sabyasachi Chowdhury
agreed
Hi adam, i need your advice on which camera should i get? Nikon d810 or should i wait for the canon 5d mark iv? I'm into portrait and landscape photography. I'm looking forward to your response. Thank you in advance.
+Philip Ypon no idea on the canon, so I would have to say Nikon :)
Same situation as you fella,been shooting 5d mk 2 and 1ds mk 2 for years and was waiting on the Canon mk 4. But you know what i bought the d810 and the pce 24mm just for landscapes and im way happy with that decision. The D810 i just love and that tilt and shift lens suits me fine for my landscapes. Will add more nikon gear as i go,but saving up for maybe a 24-70 for portraits or just stick with my canon gear for that.
+thatmanfromyorkshire Yeah, i heard nothing but good things about the nikon d810 especially on their dynamic range. I've never own both of these systems before, but a friend of mine owned a 5d3 and told me to wait for the 5d4, it should be a better upgrade on the 5d3. However, the d810 has higher mega pixel as well as higher resolution and i should say better for portrait and landscape. I'll just wait and see if the 5d4 can out performs the d810 in overall performance and that remains to be seen.
+Philip Ypon I was waiting and waiting for the 5d 4 and got fed up of it. Just thought i need to do something and i did. I am seriously thinking of selling my canon gear and getting another nikon body as back up and then get two other lenses and maybe a flash or 2 and thats it. I do just enjoy the nikon so much, i been a canon shooter for 24-5 years and for me its about the image not the name, and the nikon just works great. Bit of a pain having to relearn the nikon but hey ho thats life.
I'm with you on this one too Yorkshireman. I'll keep my Canon gear for now, but if the D810 lives up to expectations, I might even sell the Canon 500mm f4 to get good Nikon glass.
I'm a motorcycle racing photographer, so the D810 might be a handful to begin with and I don't shoot more then two or three frames at a time, so frame rate is not an issue.
Now just waiting for the D810 to get here
Hello Adam, is this Nikon AF-S Nikkor 50mm f / 1.8G lens suitable for my D750? Thanks in advance 🙂
Or this lens Nikon AF-S 50mm f/1.4G
Thanks for watching, yes both lenses are full frame and will be great on the D750
@@BluePacificMedia thanks for the help you are wonderful
@@BluePacificMedia if you can ask another question, I also liked this lens nikon AF-S 20mm f/1.8G ED, which of the two will be the best choice in your opinion
Nikon continues to do odd things with the numbers of the cameras.
agreed, strange lil' system or lack of one :)
good review and good slideshow ! we enjoyed it !
Thank you for taking the time to comment harjeet :)...happy shooting
Hello there Adam,
I actually just bought the Nikon D750 with the kit lens & I wanted to buy a second body & I'm debating between the Nikon D3s (used but good condition), or another D750 (brand-new or just used), or a used D810 (also used but good condition), I only shoot JPEG, I don't shoot sports, or wildlife, but pretty much everything else, from Weddings, portraits, live events, fashion shoots you name it… I was originally using the D700 & I was extremely happy with it (I still own it)|… It's only drawback it did not have video, I also don't use postprocessing that often except when highly needed… I shoot small clips and/or small episodes… So what is your recommendations for me is the video on the Nikon D3s, horrible? Considering the fact that I shoot only JPEG would the large files of the D810 really make a difference?
Please provide your opinion based on picture quality/sharpness/colors and focusing system.
Thank you very much for your time, I highly appreciate it… :-)
Just grab another d750, the colors exposures etc will match better if you aren't really processing your images...consider also shooting raw to 1 card and jpg to the second card if you are going to shoot weddings, if for some reason you mis expose an important shot RAW may allow you to recover it when jpg won't...better to be safe then sorry.
Adam Lewis Would your answer still be the same even if I didn't own D750, because most people say if you already own a specific camera model, it is better to stick with the same camera model… But everybody keeps talking about how the D3s is an unbeatable beast… CF cards are faster to record?… I always shoot continuous high when I'm shooting weddings almost always.… So what is your final verdict? D3s, D810, or D750? The question is more specifically to the focusing point/focus speed… Overall picture sharpness/Clarity…?
considering the new combo raw + JPEG :-)
thanks again for your time.
Yeah d3s is a beast but video is no good, by today's standards. As for the jpg thing look, if you are being paid to shoot a wedding then shoot RAW, but the d750 you have if it is working for you then grab a second, a d810 is a killer portrait beast, but again shooting only jpg's is like driving a Ferrari at 15mph...just my humble opinion...happy shooting.
Adam Lewis Okay so basically go for the D3s if video is out of the question, I will consider shooting raw because some shots did become underexposed & postprocessing is a pain with JPEG as you say, no I don't get paid for my photos they are either for family, or lots & lots of friends that I do it as a gift or services for the church.
Thanks for the help man I greatly appreciate it.
Light2thenations Why on earth would you use a pro level camera in jpeg mode?
Hi Adam. Am planing to buy D810 next week for Photoshooting in Bhutan on January but I also worry that Nikon will update the model to D850 anytime soon as I heard from the rumours. What do you advice? Thanks.
Its the 750 better in low light than the 810 ? i have the 810 and the 800
please help me decide...if you should choose only 1 or 2 lenses for nikon d750 (fx) body which one you think the best lens range for wedding (the most usefull)? 16-35mm(nikon f4 VR) , 24mm (nikon f1.8g), 35mm (sigma f1.4 ART), 85mm (nikon 1.8g) or else? please can you sort from the best choice to the worst ..
and what do you think, nikon d750 is enough for wedding work for now or need to wait for the successor to buy?
@@satyayaya14 More than enough. You need two cameras for weddings anyway. Get 28/35 depending on how many times You shoot bridal prep in small rooms and also get an 85.
Love my D750
Me too 🙏😊
good review and comparison, I need your thoughts on how Nikon D750 fair against Sony A7S in photography and video. thanks
Have never used the A7S so cannot offer an opinion :)
If sraw is compressed, is it really raw? What are the drawbacks to image quality and the ability to take edits without artifacts?
The sRAW drops down to 9mp, so it would be interesting to see where the image quality falls off in relation to post production.
My 7D has RAW, mRAW and sRAW.
mRAW on the D810 would be ideal, 9mp is a little too light for this camera imo.
nikon 750 , d810 or 5d mark3 ?
This is the camera of my choice but not that clunky sound.
if you want 10mp raw files get a d700 and save yourself 2k dollars? and you won't get them "cooked" like this S raw that nikon introduced... some people claim is almost as bad as a jpeg... do your homework before you jump on the d810 because of this feature.
Right, fair point...am a fan of the D800 so still happy to grab a d810 myself :)
Adam Lewis If you also say you are shooting video the D810 is not an upgrade to the D800 it is an upgrade to the D800E so it has not lowpass filter. The D750 does have a lowpass filter that does away with moire while recording, not only that but it has an adjustable screen and better ISO performance during video. Certainly do your homework because the D750 has been rated the best DSLR for recording video on the market so far. Good luck with your purchase. I am going to get the D750 during the holiday season because it is more of an all purpose field camera for me I can confidently put my camera over a crowds head and record during concerts, better low light focusing, ISO, etc.
how does shutter speed 1/8000 vs 1/4000 play into good image
you want to shoot at f2.8 in bight sunlight and that 1/8000th option comes in handy...other wise you use an ND but on the fly I prefer the option to crank up the shutter when needed.
And whats your thoughts between 7DM2 vs D750??
Awesome video! Thanks :)
Great review!
Thank you :)
Adam. for studio portraits does D810 image quality have a visible edge over that of the D750? Specs are superior but in practice is the D750 already so good that the bump in mp and elimination of AA filter of D810 do or do not render a visible improvement? Thanks!
Huge difference, in detail, but very similar in dynamic range
+Niels Schaap Well put. I own a D750 and am SO pleased with the purchase. Amazing IQ and low light autofocus and high ISO gives you a nice break in low light too.
For my second camera I was wondering whether to get another D750 or try the D810. I shoot events and shows but increasingly studio portrait and headshot. I agree with you that most people think more pixels is better, when in reality it's a tradeoff of pixel size vs pixel count and they have different strengths.
I decided to try the D810 oddly enough mostly because of the quiet shutter. I have encountered many situations where the D750 shutter was too noisy (e.g. photographing at a comedy club or during a talk at a large event). The shutter of the D810 is substantially quieter.
Also I am just curious about the impact of high resolution. Is it possible that the high resolution of D810 plus lack of an AA filter would put my portraits into medium format IQ territory or do you really just need the larger sensor for that?
It was a tossup because the advantage of owning two D750 would be consistency in use at events where speed and accuracy really count. And no one on earth will ever complain about the IQ of that D750 :-)
Talks about wanting 4k from DSLR's. Says he's going d810 for smaller files.
Photos and video, 2 different things Jordan
Great review!
how does shutter speed play in good image quality ex: 1/8000 vs 1/4000
Having the option to crank up the shutter speed to 1/8000th has its time and place.
Adam Lewis you mean when its sunny out?
the d 750 FX beats on night the nikon 800 810
I prefer d750.
Thanks for the quality vid! Sub'd!
again nikon capture market with d750 exlent
we shoot weddings D750 610 are aur beasts chicago usa
But what about the sound why does it have a cheap clunky sound. Can the db be reduced and sound be like 5DMarkIII ? This sound is abhorrent.
No idea about the 5D-3 but imo all DSLR audio should be considered monitor audio...I gave up on it and now only use the zoom h6 (I have a video on that kit)...happy shooting
I love my D810 🌟❤
So the D810 is better
All depends on what you would like to shoot
review from someone that has not buy the camera yet lack a bit of credibility, we can read specs allright on our own.
music is a secret, (slow clap)
lol, bright side , video is far superior than someone opening a box like i see everywhere.
music is a secret hahaha true
He didn't say anythnig
what about the low light high ISO of both the bodies...........
+Debankur Mukherjee IMHO the D810 is marginally better at Hi ISO
Check out this video on UA-cam:
Adam Lewis Both the Nikon D810 and D750 are excellent FX-format DSLRs.
