Nikon D750 Review

The D750 took the sensor size and much of the autofocus capability of Nikon's professional bodies and put them in a lighter, cheaper camera with a deep grip. Its 24.3 megapixel full frame sensor delivers wide dynamic range, rich color and clean files at high ISO, the 51 point autofocus system focuses in very dim light and tracks moving subjects well, and the body adds built in Wi-Fi, dual SD slots, weather sealing and the first tilting rear screen on a Nikon full frame camera.

Critics praised it almost without reservation. Image quality ranked with the best available at any price, the handling felt balanced and quick, battery life was excellent, and the price made full frame realistic for serious amateurs. It became a default choice for weddings, events and portraits.

The reservations are modest. The raw buffer fills after a dozen or so frames, the top shutter speed stops at 1/4000 sec, there is no dedicated AF-On button, live view focus is slow, and video tops out at 1080p at 60p just as rivals moved to 4K. Some early units showed a flare problem with bright light just above the frame, which Nikon repaired free. Today it is a used market bargain for anyone who still wants an optical viewfinder and the vast F mount lens catalog.
