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?

Comments: 1 459, on the topic: Nikon D750 review

  • Orpheus

    In time, I moved from Nikon to Canon. I sold everything Nikon and I have no regrets.

    • Anton Ilyich

      What a moron ...

      • anonym

        Why?

        • Orpheus

          Perhaps because the ardent "Nikonist" Anton Ilyich suffers from stupidity and cannot give anything practical except for gratuitous insults.
          I liked the picture from the canon kopeck much more than from the Nikon seven hundred. And no matter who says bad for my choice, I'm not going to change it :)

        • Alexander Malyaev

          Probably because the point is not in the brand of technology, but in something else (we will not poke fingers).

  • Maximum

    WiFi module is not needed. Increase the price tag.
    In all other respects, it's a cool device. Previously, it even looks preferable to the D800, because the ISO can be set higher on the 24M sensor.

    • Alexander Malyaev

      Why not needed? It is even needed if it will support remote control from a tablet or PC.

  • sanek.litvin

    A rotary screen was attached to the D600 (I am for the appearance). Why is there a mode dial as for 600 and not keys with 700. They needed to release something.

    • Anton Ilyich

      A very convenient drive, by the way, everything about the case, nothing more

  • Pastor

    Great camera for video. Not a bad alternative to the third brand. Swivel screen - for the first time on ff - it's very convenient. I can't sell my d5100 precisely because of the screen. It is a pity to part with him. Macro and crowd shooting are all within the power of a rotating screen. So the 750d will be very interesting for those who are used to such screens. It's a pity that the screen is not touch-sensitive, like the new canons. Complaints about self-control may be well-founded, but rather weak. Nobody complains that they stopped taking a shutter speed of 1/16000. All in all, there is ISO50. And cases when 1/4000 is not enough, and 1/8000 is enough - a rarity. I have 1/8000 in two cameras, and only 1/4000 in three, but I don't feel any inconvenience in using slower cameras in the sun. You can always tighten the aperture slightly or change the angle of view. And then there are dimming filters. In general, the d750 will be interesting not only for videographers. For me and the pros will be able to take it as a second camera. Autofocus seems to be decent, there is protection from splashes and dust. What more could you want? In what way is it much inferior to the same mark 3 at the price? Is she that much thinner d800? In my opinion, although not a replacement for the d700 came out, it was an excellent camera.
    But I will still naively wait for the d710 with 12 megapixels, crazy iso workers and a tank-like construct :)

    • Anton Ilyich

      If you also attach a polarik, then an exposure of 1 \ 8000 will not be needed at all. Whoever needs it, let him take a “sports” camera and he will be happy, but in normal shooting 1 \ 4000 is enough for the eyes.

    • Victor

      But is this camera the same price as the mark3? I understand that it is cheaper by more than $ 700. And about the constructive. Why does everyone really want a magnesium alloy monolith? It seems to me that far from stupid people from Nikon, they have long considered where the main impact and other loads are. After all, it’s not just that they make the upper and rear parts of the alloy. I like the camera :)

    • Alexander Malyaev

      Still, I wonder why there is a regression in terms of aging? What is the difficulty of implementing 1/8000, even if it is in more budget cameras?

      • Lynx

        in the new more budget SLRs it is not.
        but here everything is simple - cheaper and easier.

  • Vlad

    An excellent camera turned out, in general, what was missing in the D600 is, first of all, it has 51-point auto focus and a rate of 6,5 frames, the rotary screen is an amateur, wi-fi is also not bad, it’s convenient to control shooting remotely from a tablet or iPhone The issue of price will be of little importance, especially for those who want to go to the full frame, there are a lot of other tasty networks from older models, for example, an integrated curtain for the eyepiece.

    • Anton Ilyich

      The rotary screen will be appreciated first of all by those who are engaged in macro shooting or shoot DSLR video. With a static screen, there are a number of restrictions in positions, for example, a camera on a monopod at chest levels, you are standing in the crowd in the front row, the monopod is almost pressed to the body.

  • Oleg

    Looked at the review and was very upset at first. However, then I saw that this camera on Nikon's off site is in the “amateur” category and everything fell into place.

    The camera is amateurish, with a good set of utilities, but also with a lot of strange solutions like artificially cut shutter speed and dumb rotary display design.

    I look forward to a full replacement of the old professional cameras. I hope to wait.

    Introducing the Nikon D750 FX-format Digital SLR Camera: http://gearversity.com/news/introducing-the-nikon-d750-fx-format-digital-slr-camera.html

  • Dmitriy

    Some time ago, too, I was painfully struggling to choose between D610 and D810. In secret, they whispered to me in the store to wait. Waited for D800 with a matrix from D600 or DF. We got D610 with improved autofocus and video pribludes (I only theoretically know how to turn it on on my camera). And they asked from above for this $ 1000. N-yes ...

    • Anton Ilyich

      It is unclear whether the sellers forced to overpay or you bought a device with unnecessary functions?

      • Dmitriy

        I did not buy it. Found almost a new D700 to replace my hackneyed. And saving up for Watering can :)

  • Beginner

    So many angry comments are scary. As for me - you need to wait a bit for the price to fall to 1700 -1800 and take-)
    And who is waiting for d700 - wait and stop yelling fu at everything else. You will have a Nikon d700i ...

    • anonym

      Is this speculation, or information?

      • Anton Ilyich

        This is speculation, the D600 did the D700 in all respects except (attention) the shutter speed and the number of AF points. It would have been considered a replacement if it weren't for a studio camera rather than a reportage camera, in the D750 this gap was eliminated, but it's hard for retrogrades to understand, because they don't care about the matrix, don't care about the dynamic range and the latest 14-bit processor several times faster the same, buttons began to be made in a different place - this is really a tragedy ... :))

        • Andrei

          “D600 made D700” - all of me under the table !!!! Judging by this logic, D3300 also made D3)))))))))))))))))

          • Brownie

            Yes, the D600 did the D700 in every way. I have both of these cameras, all seriously, get out from under the table.

  • Oleg

    I looked closely at the camera photos and saw the auxiliary screen reduced by 2 times, exactly the same as on Df…. This is Nikon's low blow. To hell with it with a cut shutter speed, rotary screens, etc., but the additional screen for me is the main working tool. I stopped seriously considering the option of switching to this camera, I will look for a 700 in good condition.

    • anonym

      It looks like you have something with eyesight. A hit below the belt is canceled. Look again. Or rather, find a photo of this Nikon in Int.

    • Yarkiya

      A reduced compared to what?

      • Oleg

        In comparison, even with the D90. He really became very small. Photo comparison with the D700 display above.

    • Anton Ilyich

      Oleg, take a film camera right away ... :))

      • PhotographFF

        Nafig film, it’s better immediately Hassel digital for 40 bucks. The steeper the carcass, the better the pictures. It is not the photographer who takes pictures, but the camera!

      • Oleg

        Thank you, I am a newfag and a cypherphile, I am unable to control the “atzofsky” technique)

    • Brownie

      And even better is the D200, it has an upper screen even more than on the D700

  • Alexander

    Slightly smaller than the D600 / D610 there is also no shutter speed 1/8000 asks why overpay.

  • Dmitry K

    while we smear the snot here announced (not by rumors, but really) the second seven from the canon. Now here is a completely sad top-end d300s will not jump to him and the canon reigned in the photo market and in the crop and in the FF. Apocalypse close

    • varezhkin

      Nikon's marketers have played out in "cutbacks".

      • Anton Ilyich

        I rent a couple of years in the range up to 1 \ 4000 I did not feel any problems

        • Lynx

          Well, there are people who take their whole life on soap dishes and don’t feel any problems.
          It rather depends on the tasks and development. )))

          • Brownie

            For what kind of "development" is 1/8000 needed ???

            • Lynx

              for comprehensive.

    • Peter Sh.

      Nikon's main source of income is far from consumer photographic equipment. From here they do not bother much. Unfortunately.

    • Sergei

      Whoa whoa! Palekhce! ;)
      There is one king in Crop and his name is d7100.

      • varezhkin

        He didn’t come out with a buffer, did he?

      • Dmitry K

        no, not a king ... a good prince came out. But become not royal

        • Anton Ilyich

          D7200 fix it

      • Anonymous Anonymus

        D300s is the king of all Nikon crop!

        • Madness scif

          d300s is a dinosaur - its d7000 tears completely, both in iso and in ergonomics ... yes, the buffer is small, and there are fewer points - but the d7000 is faster and its dynamic range is many times higher, so much higher that it easily trails from d700 up to ISO 1000

  • jeepan

    It turns out - nothing essentially new :-( My D700 suits me - both in the mountains, and in the crowd, and in the studio ... and 5100, although harsh, but a hard worker ... I want something radically new in this "religion", and not adapters, imperfections, and -would ... ..

    • Anton Ilyich

      There are a lot of new things in the D750 - your vaunted D700 is an anachronism, soon they will start to jam the gates from developing a resource and your religion will die forever, put up with it and go further, forward into the future. Detailing at 12 megapixels is really yesterday, and the stupid dynamic range of the new matrices is much better

      • Vlad

        Totally agree with you. D700 - yesterday, one ISO 200 - 6400 already says a lot, an old processor that coped with a 12MP matrix and provided a rate of fire of 5 frames (with a butblock up to 8), weak DD, the absence of video is really out of date, BB curve in bright sun , constantly falling off gum and a lot more can be added, in a word, this is yesterday, but for those people who do not understand this, you can say - if it is expensive for you to rest in Sochi, go to Greece there cheaper :))).

        • Madness scif

          don't swear too much at 700 ... she's the best camera besides d3 (x) (s) in her day. she even tears like a rag canon 5d mark2 in everything and everywhere. and about the white balance of RAW, sir, to help you, this is one, two - rubber bands - yes, I beg you - replacement $ 60

        • Madness scif

          and for those who do not have enough in Sochi, we have a rest in ALMAT, BALKHASH and BOROV ... Here both Greece and Turkey are nervously smoking ...
          Sunny greetings from Kazakhstan !!!

  • Photolev

    CPU!!! The most important factor !!!

    • THE

      :)

    • Sergei

      Yes Yes. Now we laugh, and you look after a few years, the models will only differ in firmware.

      • Krop Polnokadrovich

        Yeah. How so. In a few years, a photographic burning plant will have to be built, otherwise the photographers have already filled the whole planet !!! Wherever you spit everywhere in the photographer you get professional.

        • Fullframe Kropovich

          Begin with yourself! If you are surrounded by only shit photographers, then you are central. A real photographer will always have orders and clients who know a lot. And shit photographers - they do a favor, take the whole collective farm and shit customers ...

  • Denis

    What are you all whining for? The camera is amateurish, but for such a price (all the more it will fall) do you want the characteristics like d4 ?? So who then will need top cameras ?? This is all marketing.

    • Anton Ilyich

      Basically, those who are sitting on old cameras whine, but there is not enough money for new ones ... :)) Because, probably, old cameras are better ... :)) I change the camera every two years, there has never been a new product worse than the previous camera ... They were less comfortable (although this is a matter of habit), but the quality of the picture is growing from year to year, this is a fact! not only subjectively but also by tests, there is more iso, less noise, everything is cool.

      • Andrei

        Usso, we take stupidly d3300- the processor is better there !!!

        • Vlad

          No, we will not take it - there are no “Masterpiece” buttons. :)))

      • Sergei

        I agree, it's like with a car, who has a jig, and who is on a BMW !!! he also praises)))

    • Oleg

      Well, the price, as it were, is not very good.
      http://clip2net.com/s/j0cVF5
      For comparison, there is the price of a carcass D800: http://clip2net.com/s/j0cX6l

      I would take 800.

  • Denis

    Canon 7d mark ii do not tell me the specifications are very good (on paper) but for crop such money to pay is a tin 1800 body and 2190 kit.

    • Bogdan

      Arkady, are you considering the option of full migration to another FF system? As far as I understand, at the moment the main system is Nikon.

  • Madness scif

    beat CANON))))

  • anonym

    I am surprised by the frames, becoming the fifth position and picturesquely declaring that everything is going to Canon.

    Although of course, if from the entire headset they have one whale lens, then there should be no problems.

    • Krop Polnokadrovich

      Well, so everyone who sits here in Radozhiva and srach breeds mostly and have ONE lens, and that whale 18-55mm))) It’s not the main thing to take pictures of them, the main thing is to do techno-docs)
      An appeal to those who whine that the D700 is not being updated: “If you are a professional photographer, and you have good photos, and not mediocre shit, then you may be paid a lot for your work, which means you have enough money for D4s, if of course you are all You don’t waste your earned money on booze, but if you take a fotik “FOR HOME” so that you can snatch people on Saturdays on quiet sucks, then D3100 was created for such rogue as you! "

      • Yarkiya

        Hi trisotkovich. Nick changed the provider?

        • Krop Polnokadrovich

          Yarkiy is not Trekhsotkovich :) But he is clearly not enough here. He would have smashed this chicken coop to smithereens! I think he already flew to Tokyo to smash Nikon headquarters for not updating the D300s :)

      • Sergey Obskura

        You shouldn’t drip on the D3100 in vain. This is a great camera without an integrated sight, learn to take better pictures!

        • Lynx

          do not offend nyasha .. he saved up for half his life for D4s after d300, and now you equate him with d3100 users. He is offended that he is "LIKE and NOT with a Cool Camera."
          And 3100, IMHO, after the D40 is one of the most iconic and most convenient / balanced cameras in the younger segment.

  • Sergei

    The discussion of the camera smiled! It remains only to be glad for the people who will join such cameras: shaky rolls, but 35mm cameras enter the broad masses more and more densely, without any cuts and truncations (matrix) - this does not mean, in any case, that the truncated ones are worse, for certain tasks, very excellent cameras, manufacturers are forced with a creak, with all sorts of marketing moves, they release cameras necessary for the consumer, in a couple of three years the market for used 35mm cameras will be saturated with such cameras, which will certainly affect the price and this is also pleasing))) All the world and of good!

  • Alexey

    Uh-huh. The iron curtain will settle again, and prices will become like in the world of high-fi, high-end audio equipment: at least something worthy of attention - 150 ++ thousand rubles at once. We should probably not find fault with good devices, but fill the pantry with them for the future, cough-cough :))

  • THE

    I freaked out ... :)

    • kit585

      In the pharmacy, an ambal writes a complaint that condoms are constantly breaking. Khilyatik looked out of his armpit and added - here it is. write what else to bend.

  • Yarkiya

    When you begin to send a letter, correct spelling errors, not solidly.

  • Jury

    looked at the photo D750, but did not understand where the input for the cable. Camera (stated in the review) for landscapes. And how to shoot at a slow shutter speed. DO NOT hold on to the shutter button for several minutes? If anyone knows about cable fastening, please explain.

    • Alexander

      Judging by the specifications from imaging.nikon.com, the MC-DC750 cable is suitable for the D2. So everything is OK ;-)))

    • Eugene

      Why a cable when there is Wi-Fi in the camera?

  • Vladimir

    It may turn out that the subject will be another bestseller. For me, this is a tempting choice if the price approaches 60 tr. Already saving up money.

    • I roamed your hut

      Vladimer, for 60 thousand rubles it’s better to drive on vacation to Tai. Well, if you really want a good SLR, then definitely the D700 or 5d mark 2 used can right now be taken for cheap. And to take the glass 50mm and 85mm to take. After all, it’s not a photo shoot, but a photo aff.
