PROS:
CONS:
The Nikon D750 is classified as an entry-level full frame DSLR, although it includes a lot of features normally found only in cameras well beyond its price range. The D750 comes with a 24MP full-frame sensor, 6.5 fps burst shooting, full HD video recording at 60fps, built-in WiFi and more. It is a very reliable, high-end DSLR camera for full-time photographers, not just hobbyists. Think of the Nikon D750 as a smaller sibling of the D810, with plenty of useful features and a more attractive price.
Even though it was released in 2014, the Nikon D750 is still one of the most competitive DSLR cameras on the market. It is manufactured by Nikon, a Japanese corporation that specializes in optics and imaging products. In addition to cameras, Nikon also manufactures measurement instruments, lenses, microscopes and more.
The D750 is one of their most popular DSLRs, appreciated by entry-level photographers and pros alike, for its impressive capabilities and appealing price.
Here are its main specs:

Design:
The Nikon D750 is made of a combination of carbon fiber and magnesium alloy. Because it is a top-end product, it is weather sealed, so it can cope well with dust or humidity. The feel of the D750 is really nice, it is more ergonomic than its previous counterparts, has a deep grip and it doesn’t get slippery. It is sturdy enough but not too heavy to get uncomfortable in your hands.
The 3.2 inch, 1,229 dot tilting Vari-angle LCD display is a bit smaller than on the previous model and the controls have been rearranged a bit.
Features
The D750 is a very good compromise in terms of quality and price. It features a 24.3 MP full-frame sensor, not a 36MP one as with the D810, but the difference in price is something you can’t ignore. For approx. the same amount of money (over $3,000) you don’t just get the body but the entire kit for the D750.
Just like any other Nikon DSLR, the D750 is very user-friendly and efficient. You get the F-mount which allows you to use a multitude of Nikkor lenses.
The Multi-CAM 3500 II autofocus is a new upgrade (51 AF points). As always, you can get the same sharp, vivid images, especially when matching the camera with a proper, quality lens. Another improvement is that this new autofocus model copes better with low light and now works at down to -3EV.
The wide ISO range is expandable to 50-51,200 and overall, the noise level is really low, even at a higher sensitivity. There’s also an Auto ISO feature that automatically sets the minimum shutter speed to the focal length of the lens you are using and an Easy ISO setting that you can use to change the ISO setting with the front dial.
When it comes to continuous-shooting, the D750 boasts a 6.5fps performance that drops after 10 Raw +JPG shots, 15 Raw or 39 JPG shots, which is an impressive feat, given the price of the camera.
Video
The D750 can record videos in Full HD, at max. 60 fps (or you can choose between 60, 50, 30, 25, 24 fps). While it is not as impressive as the 4K capabilities of the Canon 5D Mark IV for instance, it is still a step up from the previous Nikon models, which could only handle full HD at 30 fps. The quality is really impressive even in darker conditions and you only start to notice some detail or tonal range deterioration from an ISO 3200 or even higher setting.
There are built-in time-lapse and interval still movie modes.
The D750 has sockets for microphone and headphones, with volume control and metering, an HDMI output and a proprietary USB connector.
There is no built-in GPS, but you can add the GP-1, GP-1A GPS unit for a few extra hundreds.
Regardless of how you look at it, the Nikon D750 is a great value for the money. The D810 may prevail when it comes to its 36MP image sensor, but still, this is a 24.3 MP full-frame sensor camera, with an impressive, upgraded autofocus, great noise control, an improved, more ergonomic design and a really attractive price.
The price of the D750 starts at approx. $1,800 for the body only. You also get the EN-EL15 rechargeable Li-ion battery, battery charger, a USB cable, a strap, a body cap, eyepiece cap, rubber eyecup and a NikonView NX2 CD ROM.
