Nikon D750 review

According provided by Nikon D750 camera many thanks to Alexander Logachev.

For those who do not like to read a lot: Nikon D750 was announced on 11.09.2014/XNUMX/XNUMX and so far is Nikon's best amateur CZK. That's all :)

Nikon D750

Nikon D750 BODY

All tabular data can be found on the official website, I don’t want to retell the same parameters once again that wander from one review to another. In this mini-review, I will only leave my own impressions of using the Nikon D750.

I want to warn you that on the official sites nikon.ru, nikon.ua, nikon.kz and even europe-nikon.com, the Nikon D750 is located in the section 'Professional SLR Digital Cameras' (proof image). This information is not true and is a marketing ploy. Or maybe the world just went crazy and the level of 'professional equipment' fell below the plinth.

Unfortunately, my favorite site imaging.nikon.com, although it remains more honest, nevertheless went along the paths indicated by the marketers and deleted the professional / amateur equipment separation directories, leaving only one large list (proof link) Even the vile Pedivikia puts the D750 on a par with D700 (proof link) At the same time, the fact that the Nikon D750 is still an amateur camera (ENTHUSIAST DSLR) can be easily verified on nikonusa.com (proof link) Sneaky marketers generally try to pass off the D750 as the first camera in some new weight category, even adding it to the Nikon NPS lists.

I lead to the fact that sometimes, when choosing a camera, users are guided not only by its capabilities, but also by positioning in a certain segment. Do not follow the lead of marketers, be vigilant!

Nikon D750 - something in between Nikon D610 и Nikon D810... Unfortunately, Nikon D750 is not a direct replacement for the legendary old lady Nikon D700... When Nikon D750 came out, I was very upset that everything in Nikon D750 is very cool, but all this 'beauty' is housed in a body with amateur controls.

Personally, I absolutely love the Nikon D750. To the question 'Is it worth changing Nikon D700 on the new Nikon D750 'I can definitely answer - it's worth it.

At the same time, Nikon D750 still cannot reach some of the heights conquered by the 'XNUMX':

  • D700 It has a full metal case, the D750 has a composite case, with a composite front.
  • Minimal excerpt у D700 is 1/8000 sec. against 1/4000 sec. the D750. This difference is often sucked around on the forums, in fact, for real work it has no fundamental value, you will find details on this issue in my article '1 / 4000 vs 1 / 8000'.
  • excerpt flash sync D700 makes 1/320 sec., against 1/250 sec. at the D750.
  • Nikon D700 has a protective eyepiece shutter (what is she for?).
  • the maximum burst speed for the D700 is 8 fps versus 6.5 fps for the D750. This is critical for sequential shooting.
  • The D700 can use the MB-D10 butlock with the optional BL-3 cover, which allows the use of large and very capacious EN-EL4 or EN-EL4a batteries from flagship cameras Nikon D3, D3s, D3x, which significantly increases the number of shots taken on a single battery. Nikon D750 can only use standard EN-EL15 batteries in its butblock.
  • The D700 can use uncompressed RAW files with full raw data read from the camera's image sensor. The D750 can only use Lossless RAW format for maximum photo quality. Both cameras can use 14-bit color depth. What is it and what it is eaten with you will find in the section '12 bit raw VS 14 bit raw'.
  • with the same RAW compression settings (14 bit, lossless compression), the Nikon D700 buffer stores 17 frames, the Nikon D750 buffer only 12 frames.
  • Nikon D700 can shoot in TIFF format.
  • viewfinder magnification Nikon D700 is 0.72X versus 0.70X for Nikon D750. Although, at the same time, the D750 has 100% frame coverage, compared to 95% for the D700.
  • The D700 uses a professional memory card form factor - CF, D750 – SD (SDHC, SDXC). But at the same time, the D750 has two memory card slots.

In all other respects, the Nikon D750 is either better or at the same level as the Nikon D700.

I would also like to dwell on the focus module. Nikon D750 first uses focus module Advanced Multi-CAM 3500FX II, which, at least theoretically, is better than all its predecessors. The operating range of this module is from -3 to +19 EV. At the same time, D4,D4s, D800,D800E, D810, D810a operating range is -2 to +19 EV A good focusing module was severely lacking in cameras Nikon D600, D610 and Nikon Df. On the other hand, it's a pity that Nikon has not yet come up with a really new focusing system and continues to build all its sensors based on the Multi-CAM 3500FX, shown back in 2007.

Working with the D750, I had no complaints about the focusing system. I can't say for sure how much better it is than that of the Nikon D700, but what's no worse is for sure. But when working, it seems that the coverage area of ​​the focus points is slightly reduced compared to the D700.

I was also very pleased that at last “Father Nikon” heard the prayers of his followers and improved the color rendering. Now, an acceptable color in JPEG with the D750 can be obtained immediately, without strong dances with a tambourine. But if you dig into RAW with non-native converters, then everything becomes not so rosy :(. Generally, many people do not like the color in Nikon D750 pictures, especially skin tone (skin color in portraits). Color has its own specifics, which is superimposed on many rumors and myths.

Prices for Nikon D750 in popular stores can look at this link.

Prices for modern Nikon cameras in popular stores can look at this link.

In comments Can I ask you a question on the topic and you will answer, and you can also express your opinion or describe your experience. Many little things for a photo can be found on AliExpress.

You can download RAW source files at this link (71 files in .'NEF 'format, 2 GB) + at this link (40 file in .'NEF 'format, 1 GB). All photos were shot with Nikon D750. All photos in this gallery are on-camera JPEG without processing. Then I'll add more examples.

When working with the camera, which I visited in the review, I did not find problems with glare, which are a kind of failure in the Nikon D750. But still it’s very disappointing that after the unsuccessful Nikon D600 the company again launched a raw product on the market, fortunately, if there is such a drawback in the D750, then it can be eliminated free of charge (proof link).

The bottom line:

Nikon D750 turned out to be a very nice camera, almost completely balanced camera, which was very important after a long absence of replacement for the D700. I can't say the D750 is a complete replacement for the Nikon D700, but the D750 itself is a very attractive camera.

If don't know which camera and lens to choose, then my article will help with this - Which Nikon amateur DSLR camera and lens to choose?

  • Anton

    The camera is just a bomb for this money

  • Denis

    Hello! Please tell me with a choice: I am considering a nikon d610 / 750/800 for leisurely shooting indoors with pulsed light. Also with a lens, please tell me the choice is between: nikkor 35 mm f / 1.8G ED, nikkor 24-70mm f / 2,8 or tamron 24-70mm f / 2,8
    For subject shooting, I considered 85mm / 1.8 G. The room is very small

    • Alexander

      I can't tell you about the camera. As for the lenses, I will say that the 35th lens from nikkor is old and soapy, the same applies to 50mm no matter what aperture. Better to take tamron g2 or sigma art. 24-70 I also recommend sigma art or tamron g2.
      In general, Nikon has not updated lenses for DSLRs for a long time. focuses on non-mirrored systems. Maybe you should save on the carcass and get better lenses. Nikon was still designing lenses before 24px.

  • Andrei

    I have a D90? I bought it for the house, for the family, for 7 years I took a couple of thousand frames from the force. Mostly at home the subject. I lay idle for several years, so I got it out, I thought to shake the old days, to take pictures of my family. Clicked in the apartment without puff ... .. sadness, ISO above 200 crazy noise. I took out puff, a little better, but the lubricants went. The jammed shutter did not get to the point. He took it to the workshop, broke 1200 UAH. Nowhere to go. While looking for the causes of my troubles, I came across this site. Everything is written very interestingly, I read about the fotiki and decided to change my 90 to 750. I just fired up!
    Then I read these kamenty, a description of the stocks of the 750th, studied the market and saw that the whole of the 750 was filled up (as we know, they don't get rid of the good). And he changed his mind to take it. I decided to take 610. The price of the issue with glass is 40 thousand.
    I was going straight to the store, and then I urgently needed to take a picture, took out my smartphone, pressed the button and got a gorgeous picture in room lighting. Then I thought, is it worth the difference that I will get (possibly) from a 610-m photo, weighing almost 2 kg with glass and an hour's tinkering in the settings, and a photo taken with one light push of a button on a smart, 40t UAH? I thought…. and decided to postpone the purchase.
    And on the subject of a subject, 750 on the secondary wagon, and for example the same 610 - practically none.

    • Ry

      All things are simpler. The 600/610 were all dumped when the 750 came out and the market was also flooded with them.
      Now 600 is of no interest to anyone, but the bzk and the awesome d780 came out. Here are 750tk and they drain until the price collapses.
      And about “from the phone - so shoot on ISO above 200 on it, in poor lighting, but look at the frame on the minitor. Immediately disliked))

      • B. R. P.

        Ry, I agree with you completely.

      • Pokemon

        It has already collapsed on the D750.
        And the price for the D780 is so "amazing" that sometimes the D850 can be bought cheaper.
        The price for the D780 is set specifically so that the people of the z6 / z6mk2 buy it, which is what the people are doing now.

        • Pokemon

          Nikon needed a cheap full frame, so the D750 was slightly reduced in price by replacing the D610 (which was removed from the production) and released the Z5, which costs about the same and will continue to fall in price, since Nikon needs to lure people to a new mount.

          • Andrei

            The difference in price between 750 and 610 is quite high, and I don't see any of the advantages of the 750, except for the phrase from advertising brochures about tenacious focus. Unnecessary Wi-Fi (not everywhere) and a rotary screen (I don't need it either, it's not a video camera) are not worth the difference.
            If we omit the point that smartphones will now completely displace amateur CZK from the mass market, then the 610 seems to be the ideal solution now for old-school enthusiasts.

            • Andrei

              and the auxiliary display in the 750 is somehow castrated and uninformative, which is a minus for me.

            • Pokemon

              the AF module for the d600-610 and 750 differs quite noticeably, and on the d750 it is really good:
              https://radojuva.com/2012/12/nikon-multicam-all/

              • Victor

                On paper, of course, it is different, but in fact, for most amateurs and budget multicam 1000 for the eyes (d200, d90, d80 and a bunch of similar cameras)

              • Andrei

                Viktor is right, AF was enough for me in the D90, only the big noise at relatively low ISOs annoys me.

              • Victor

                2Andrey.

                The multicam 1000 was enough for me for the dynamics, there was an opportunity to compare it with the multicam 3500dx, I also read a lot of theoreticians “blah blah, the af module in 7000/610 is bad, in d90 it's finally terrible”, and so, there is no fundamental difference in work between them. Yes, there are more crosses, crowded all the same in the center. The follower is still poor. Sensitivity + is the same where these are required. -2..3 ev in natural light, as a rule, there is nothing to shoot.
                That's all the “benefits” on paper.

                I think, if we consider the budget option, 600/610 for your budget is ideal for an amateur. Unless, of course, sit on Nikon.

              • Pokemon

                The AF tenacity of the D610 / DF and D750 is easy to determine at dusk or at night.
                The D750 is really very good.
                Unfortunately, I didn't shoot on D610 or DF, but I know people who changed D600-610 to D750 only because of the focus module. There were even those who compared its work with the module in the D7000. A friend wanted to buy a DF for himself - he dragged himself away from its external design, but when he saw that a budget AF was installed in the company for the matrix from Nikon D4s, he refused to buy it, because he could not put up with his work - there are few focus points and does not work particularly well in twilight.
                I myself wanted to buy the D610 at one time, but I also refused to buy it, because I liked the AF module in the D700 more.

      • Dima

        d750s break down before reaching 100. These are not isolated cases.

    • Victor

      Yesterday I took my D90 from repair, the same story as yours, replacement of the electric motor. The master said because he lay on the shelf for a long time.

  • Alain

    Help me to understand. I don’t understand anything. Why is the white balan not blue-yellow, but blue-amber. And when I want a warmer shot, it turns rusty. And it doesn't kill in the editor. If you edit bb in the editor, then the parasitic red remains. And yet he is contained in everything. Even the green one floats.

    • Jury

      Do you process a RAW file or JPEG in an editor? And in which editor?

    • Seladir

      Try not adjusting the same axis between blue and yellow (White Balance), but also adjusting the Tint (between green and magenta). In advanced cases, when the colors are strongly disturbed by mixed inappropriate lighting, using Lightroom, you can resort to the Calibration panel and there you can additionally adjust the three base channels.

      • Seladir

        Although, before turning to Calibration (but after WB / Tint), the remaining distortions are easier to eliminate in the HSL / Color panel, where, using the example of the same Lightroom for 8 colors, the breakdown goes.

    • Novel

      Because it is warm yellow. And the red-green axis of the hue, on the contrary, is closer to the magenta, and the green - to the yellow. What tint do incandescent lamps and fire flames give?

    • Andrei

      I didn't understand anything

  • Dmitriy

    Do I understand correctly that in some cases there is an underexposure effect on the Nikon D750? Here is an example - two photos taken at 11-00 with not the thickest clouds, in the aperture priority mode (A) set to F / 11, white balance - cloudy, ISO 250. In the second photo - exposure compensation +1.0.
    1st photo: https://drive.google.com/file/d/13zynVaIL51dmid9L9mFGt_I6xK0a9l-z/view?usp=sharing
    2st photo: https://drive.google.com/file/d/14aGTjYjnz3m5HfIJ7M6VhpcQz3ksx2jj/view?usp=sharing

    Apparently the first photo is dark. Is that so with me? Or a typical phenomenon?
    At the same time, on a sunny day, it seems, it is not so noticeable. When shooting in “Auto” mode with a flash indoors - everything is ok. In the scenario mode "night landscape" - everything is ok too. I can't understand - am I mowing (inexperienced) or do I have to put up with it and control the exposure correction? Although it is a pity, of course, that without correction it is not possible to achieve a natural level of display in the picture.

    • Specialist

      Deck also depends on the method of exposure metering - matrix or spot. For the 1st shot in the case of mat. the meter is normally exposed - midway between a bright sky and a dark earth. Why are you afraid, draw the shadows.

  • Linar

    Recently I changed my d610 with a mileage of 64 thousand for a new d750 with a good price tag. What can I say about my choice in favor of a DSLR camera over a mirrorless one. I have 2 lenses: tamron 70-200 f2.8 VC and tamron 24-70 2.8 -G2. The lenses are reportage in their essence, and better in terms of autofocus speed are revealed precisely on the d750. I believe that today SLR cameras are not nearly worse in terms of mirrorless photography. The only advantage of mirrorless cameras for me is video shooting and eye autofocus, which is not an urgent need for me. In any case, to shoot an event where lighting conditions often change, where the dynamics are constant, and the shooting is long and uninterrupted, it can be difficult to shoot, no matter what autofocus is, and you cannot quickly change the lenses, you simply will not have time. For me, handicap is convenient, with a high-quality zoom. As for dd, d750 is just wonderful, similar to d610. Autofocus is tenacious. I took it without a Wi-Fi module, many in this particular camera do not see the point in it. Ergonomics, better grip. The d610 is lighter in weight and the price of a new one is very good.

  • Sergei

    Tell me, is the contrast focus in live view very slow and weak? Worse than Nikon D7000?

  • Ira

    I have a D7000, but this is a crop. I want to change it to full frame.
    Tell me, is it worth considering the D750?

    • Dmitry Kostin

      It all depends on the tasks and on the availability of lenses available.
      If there are no lenses and nothing holds, you can look at the z5 / z6.
      If you already have lenses for FF and your budget is limited, you can buy d610 / d750.

  • Createst

    Good day. Chi varto is switching from d7500 crop to d750 in 2021 roci? Would you be more likely to buy three or three rubles more and more?

    • Ivan

      What do you mean by more modern? Nikon will no longer release SLR cameras. And the BZK has been on sale for three years already.

      • Createst

        Forward D780

      • Createst

        Widgets about the D780, as though it was a mistake and it wasn’t smart, it’s worth it for a penny, because it’s worth it at once. And bzk, I don’t know. Having twisted z6 in my hands, so yak looking at yak variant, it was not even more honored, I couldn’t.

        • Ivan

          The future belongs to the UPC. And about the 780th, it's hard to say. I personally don't like her. The price is too high, nothing special, in my opinion, there is nothing in it. But there is no built-in flash and there is no possibility of installing an additional battery grip. If we take the top-end version of the FF ZK, then the 850th makes sense. The 750 is a pretty good option, but you can't buy it new. There is also the underrated initial D610 FF camera, which you can still buy new (but gray) for only 59000 rubles. The choice is yours. The lens set is much more important than the camera. The 610 can take great pictures too.

  • Inna

    Good day everyone! Please tell me, I'm an amateur, I photograph my children, I can process .. Now I have Nikon d300s and 50mm 1.8 I want to try a full frame. There is a choice between Nikon d610 (70000 mileage) and d750 (250000 mileage) at the same price. Which one is better to take? And I also want to take Sigma Art, I also don't know which is better than 35 1.4 or is there no need for a second fix? Please advise how to do the right thing to see the difference?

    • B. R. P.

      250 t of mileage is already serious. The second fix can be very much even to what, it depends on you. You may find the regular range zoom useful for your photography. Although, if you are used to a fifty-kopeck piece on a crop ...

      • Inna

        I just look, they sell 600000 not cheap, I thought that probably 250000 is not the limit)) then it is better to take 610 .. thanks for the opinion

        • Hamlet

          If the question is still relevant ... I would not take either the first or the second, this is still an amateur full frame, so they may not go through 100000 or maybe 500000. I would take a fresh and preferably 750, it has better autofocus and more comfortable grip, and their matrices are the same. Regarding the Sigma 35 ART, I have it exactly at 750. An elegant lens, I think the best 35, but most likely you will have to fine-tune the autofocus in the camera menu in plus or minus, it's not difficult. I adjusted it to plus 8 on mine and that's it.

    • Anatoly

      Better take Sony a7m2 bzk and fresh. If you need crazy detail and sharpness, then a7r2 and fresh. Why Sony? They already have a lot of optics) Of the lenses, if budgetary and universal, then samyang 45mm 1.8 with 6th firmware is very good, even very good, both in focus and sharpness. Sigma Art is very good, but more expensive. I don’t really like the popular tamron 28-75 of the first version, the second seems to be better, but I haven’t personally tried it.

  • Hamlet

    By the way, guys, a question arose. If you switch to DX mode on a full frame, will the dynamic range, bit rate and Low Light ISO remain the same as in FX mode, or will they truncate?

    • Oleg

      Will not stay, it would be too easy

    • Victor

      Of course they will, you only change the frame size and resolution, other parameters remain unchanged.

      • Hamlet

        I can't understand why no one can make a crop matrix with Low-Light for example 2950 like the D750? The bitness and DD is understandable, for a long time already the youngest Nikons D3200-3300-3400 have caught up with the fullframe, but the working ISO is 2-3 times lower.

        • Victor

          If it had occurred to someone to make a 10MP crop matrix using modern technologies, this would be the kind of lowlight that would have turned out there.

          They don’t do that, they all put some 26 and 32 megapixels :))

          • Hamlet

            Just today I put on a couple of my crop (good) glasses for 750 to check how they would work, checked, removed everything, and then thought about it. But it was already too lazy to get it out again to check for lowlight. Tomorrow I will check 750 in DX modes and my favorite D3300.

            • Hamlet

              :)

              • Arkady Shapoval

                D40 is only 6 megapixels, for low-light the most it! (joke - not that)

        • Michael

          Hamlet, why?
          there is twice a crop who needs min weight, etc.
          there is a 10-12MP full frame who needs high ISO.
          Crop 1.5 and 1.6 - was originally a temporary solution due to problems with the price of ff, in fact it is useless today. therefore, no one wants to invest in it separately, so they rivet something by inertia.

      • Hamlet

        ... and then it turns out to be easier to buy a full frame 600-610-750 and use your crop (let's say it's a pity to sell top-end) lenses in full, with high working ISO.

        • Victor

          If you are satisfied with 10MP resolution - yes, easily :))

          But there is one caveat - if you take, say, a 24MP source from an ordinary modern camera, correctly suppress the noise in it, and change the size to 10MP, your picture will come out almost better (certainly not worse) than what you get initially from a 10MP matrix with a “superlight”, while you always have the opportunity to get detailed 24MP in good light, but with a “native” dozens of 24 you won't be able to.

          • Hamlet

            ... also logical, thanks. And I noticed one more thing, after that I don't believe DXO. So, according to the DXO version, the D3300-1385 has a working ISO, and the Canon 600D-793. This Canon for working ISO should be almost 2 times worse. I checked both of these cameras with the same parameters and lenses. At ISO 1600 the noise is about the same, but at ISO 3200-6400 I liked Canon more. For Nikon, all the contours have already swam, and for Canon, all the outlines and colors are in place. I sin on whale objects 18-55. I don't know, I myself am a Nikonist, but 18-55II from Canon surprised me. It is sharper than 4 lenses with which I checked it, and these are 2 Nikon 18-55 AF-S with a button, 1 Nikon 18-55 AF-P, and Canon 18-135. And for some reason, the depth of field at the same apertures at Canon is much greater. Maybe 18-55 from Canon I have gold, or maybe Nikon's whales cannot resolve 24MP, hence the collapse of initially weak contours.

            • Michael

              DOF depends on the crop factor. for nikon and kenon they are different, nikon 1.5, kenon 1.6.

              • Hamlet

                I'm talking about depth of field from a distance of ~ 100m, it is unlikely that at such a distance the crop factor will have such a strong influence. It seems to me that Canon's 18-55II IS is an order of magnitude better than Nikon's 18-55s, any.

            • Eugene

              At DxO, you're looking not so much at the overall index as at the Measurement tabs.

            • Dima

              I was 18-55 and had this is 2 and it was awesome. I agree here. As for noise, the brightness noise of Nikon and Canon is approximately the same; Canon is underrated for its red color noise. There he sometimes interferes for some reason in very harmless situations and pulling shadows because of this noise is a problem for Canon. The D5100, for example, was visually literally half a bump better in deep shadows at ISO 200 than the EOS M.

  • Vincas

    Does Nikon d750 AA have a filter thanks to everyone

    • Arkady Shapoval

      Yes

  • a lion

    Good evening, can you please tell me how to make it so that when I control the ISO on the video recording button, the screen does not light up? I somehow did it on the d7200, I don’t remember how, but on the d750 I can’t find how
