That is crazy cheap

Lol...now....d800 swap to 810 or 750 for that silly price !!!!!
Will hold back for initial tests of its AF. ...but then 810 has same AF and no AA filter with more mpix
 
A used low clicks D800 is a bargain at the present time ……. for many types of photography ……. £1200 max

The same will apply to the D810 in a couple of years time

most on here don't need the latest and a low clicks used model is the one to go for, whether it be a D700, D800 or D610 ……. as Nikon bodies seem to be reliable

now we have this (great) choice of very good Nikon bodies …… good, (the best), glass should be the main consideration and each nikon lens has a specialised use

Okay thats simply mad! But its only a 'Consumer' camera as Nikon says :D

Nikon do say that. However, the D750 features weather sealing gaskets throughout its construction. The level of moisture and dust resistance is equal to that of professional Nikon cameras. Other highlights :-

- ISO 100-12,800
- Expeed 4 image processor (D4s / D810)
- 100 shots 1 in a single burst of continuous shooting at 6.5 fps
- 24.3-million pixels
- Highlight-weighted metering
- 51-point autofocus system
- low-light shooting -3 EV (Thats night vision !)
- Tilting LCD monitor
- Wi-Fi function
- Time-lapse photograh film function
- Dual SD memory card slots

Consumer or professional, it matters not when you look at these features......

Yeah the specs look good, btw the RAW buffer is only around 21 shots so that is pretty poor, The Duel SD is also a downside personally, its not a camera for me, not build well enough and body style is way to small for my liking...Take it your getting a D750? ;)
 
Not "build" well enough? How on earth would you know?

Both the D750 and D810 cameras have a durable build. The D750 has a combination body of magnesium and carbon composite material, The D810 has a full magnesium alloy body and chassis. The D750 body has a top and back made of magnesium, the front is made of a carbon reinforced thermoplastic material. I am going to get one as back-up. Theres a lot of features for the price and more positives than negatives.

Yes but compare the price - it's good value for money. Not sure why you have a downer on it ?

Given his website starts with the line "Joe is a Official Nikon Professional Services (NPS) Member", which just means he owns a pro camera or lens, then I feel we aren't going to get much in the way of coherence and logic from him.

That way my opinion and all you lot do it go and criticise every little thing I mean seriously have you nothing better to do than? :D

Cut to the chase the D810 is better built

The new materials (F1 technology) certainly make it lighter, but that does not mean inferior. When I have handled it and compared it to my D810 I will let you know !

The D750 should be strong enough for Joe you and all Twitchers ;)
 
The thing is, you are commenting on a camera you have never used. So saying the it is not "build" well enough is somewhat difficult to take seriously.

You have completely lost the topic here and starting trying to aim personal digs at me here, I said my opinions of the camera and you all do is criticise them when there my own opinions :thinking:
 
The D8** series are built more ruggedly but why is the D750 "not build well enough"? I reckon a lot of those D800s that are suddenly appearing in the for sale ads may well be destined to be replaced with these poorly built D750s.

Maybe those people build quality is not a necessity to them, for the 101 time I said my IMHO so its my take on the camera and if you feel differently thats fine, each to there own :thumbs:
 
You must be Ken Rockwell's son as you can make comments on products without actually using them.
 
I think the point is that you have formed an opinion without even seeing or handling the camera. Sometimes when you put your head above the parapet it gets shot at. Something you will learn as you progress towards the age of some of us that are too old to know everything.
 
Can we just please start with all those silly arguments !!!!!

The D810 has had great reviews and I cannot see why one would not want one, I can see why any D800 owner would be tempted, but there is a £1,000 price difference between a used low clicks D800 and a UK retail price D810.

The D750 is another consideration, it's image falls between the D6xx and the D8xx ........ it may have a problem in that most will aspire to a D8xx or D4S

I think that I would be more tempted by a good used D800 or D810, (when available), rather than a new D750, but I mostly buy used

but we are faced with quite a few good choices, D700, D600, D610, D800, D810, D3S, D4 and D4S and now the D750 ...... they are all different

You are commenting on the build quality of a product you have never used after mocking someone for, amazingly, commenting on a product they haven't used.

Couple this with your poor spelling and grammar then I feel this is entirely fruitless.
 
But its not big, and everyone knows that big and heavy just screams out 'Pro'. Personally I'm having one, I will put the change from my D810 budget towards my new glass and hope the D750 doesnt fall apart when Im shooting wildlife. Might get a barbour jacket too instead of the poor quality outdoor gear I have at the moment.

I said 'its not a camera for me' thats my IMHO how hard is that not to understand? :S
 
Ironically saying it's not the size or layout of a D300 type body / button layout, wouldn't be arguable even if none of us had used it. And that's the reason I won't get a D750, it looks a fab camera with alot of features I would like in my D610 but for landscaping I really doubt I would be able to tell the difference between a D610 and D750 photo.
 
Some people get too hung up on their cameras having metal bodies. I know from experience that composite bodies can flex and bounce when dropped on hard surfaces protecting the internals. Cast metal bodies can crack and pass more vibration to the mechanisms inside. They both keep water out subject to gaskets - and any camera with a built in flash is likely to have places where water can get inside. Don't dismiss 'plastic' bodies as not up to the job, modern composite materials can be extremely robust despite being light in weight.

I agree......

Now here's a thing. We've all tried making mobile calls in a concrete building with reinforced meshwork and it dosent work, basically your in a large faraday cage! Given that the D750 has built in WIFI this isn't going to work very well housed in a metal body.

Internal WIFI will feature on more cameras in the future and no doubt the next Nikon D5 or 4s replacement in 18 months time and I anticipate that it will also have a similar construction to facilitate WIFI

You only have to look at Armoured vehiclies like the Humvee that has reinforced polymeric composites to realise that if plastics are strong enough for the battlefield then they are going to be robust enough for camera manufactures.

I am thinking the same. I will need to upgrade D700 shortly and while the D800 has its issues, it does seem to be great value. The specs of the D750 appeal more but its the size and buttons I can't get my head around.
 
How many have actually killed a camera due to inferior build quality?
Other than weather sealing for some reasonable protection when I get caught out, I don't think it makes a lot of difference.

I've destroyed a couple, but I don't think anything is going to tolerate a 100ft drop off the side of a cliff, or a dunk to the bottom of a river.
I did bend the lens mount locking pin on a camera once by swinging a 500mm f/4 around by the camera body, and if the camera hadn't had a metal lens mount that could have been a lot worse (and it would have been my own dumb fault).

I'm not nice to my stuff... my cameras sometimes see dirt and water up close, and occasionally get a bump on a rock. But I don't think thin wall magnesium is necessarily better than FRP for that kind of abuse. It might actually be a little "worse" because it will loose paint and dent.

The D750 is 6.5mm smaller over the width, 1mm less on the height and actually 4mm deeper than the D300s. I can see left eye shooters really missing the dedicated AF On button, but personally I don't think I'd notice the size difference after a short whilemail using the body. If I could be bothered to sell all my Canon gear I'd definitely be buying one as it ticks all the boxes for me.
