NIKON D750 | Is it Still Worth Buying in 2020?

[@lynnk8887]

Just bought a D750 the beginning of 2021 and love it.

[@ralphwatson7036]

I moved from the D7200 to a used D750 last year and have been very pleased. The two are very similar in their ergonomics and menus but two features I love that I didn't have before are the tilt LCD and the live histogram in live view. For someone with the urge to move from Nikon APS-C to full frame, I highly recommend the D750. The improvement in my astro photos is significant.

[@kylemorgan224]

What lens do you use for the Astro? Just bought a d750

[@ralphwatson7036]

@@kylemorgan224 For wide shots like Milky Way, I use Tamron 15-30mm. For far away like Orion Nebula and Andromeda Galaxy, I bought a vintage Nikon 300mm f/4 lens that I love. I have also used my Tamron 150-600mm for planets and the moon with good results. For Andromeda I use a Skywatcher Star Adventurer tracker to get longer shutter speeds. Good luck out there in the dark!

I still have a Canon 5D Mark II from 2008 that takes beautiful photos to this day. Of course a camera like the D750 is still worth buying in 2020. It's still as good as it was when it came out in 2014 and the specs hold up just fine some five years later. There's no need to constantly chase technology!

[@baronvonmaximillionsnell2757]

What's it like in low light at gigs & streets.? U think it's worth a punt second hand and what kind of count is it good for? Will it take dx lens ? And how does it handle...is it WiFi? Thanks R.G

[@wiretwanger3]

Good review James. I bought a D750 last week, upgrading from a D7100. On Sunday I spend a few hours shooting bird of prey in very gloomy woods on an overcast day. The results were impressive. Even up to ISO 2000, there was very little noise in the images, colours were rich with warm tones and dynamic range was superb. I'm so pleased (so far) that I didn't upgrade to another crop sensor.

[@Neilberg56]

Totally agree with what you say about the Nikon D750. Had mine about 4 years and still love it to this day. As you say it just feels right in your hand and everything is in the right place.

[@slowlyrusting4044]

100% in agreement. Apples to apples, the D750 is a fantastic beast of a camera.

[@dokuzvolt]

it was lovely to watch the whole video, thanks a lot. I have been using a Nikon D80 since 2005 :) , and I was really connected to it ( eventually there's been a problem with the aperture and it stopped working). So with a limited budget, i was now looking forward to purchase a d750 and this video encouraged me even more to do so ,)

[@josephgodoy7595]

"I use a 5 year old camera" Man my main shooter is a 38 year old FM2. I just recently picked up a D750 since all my lenses are compatible plus I can use it to scan in my film. Brilliant camera and strongly recommended.

Im looking for the upgrade from my 2 broken cameras used hardly for 8 and 9 years - D300 and D700.

I own both the D750 and D850 and agree with your assessment. It's still an amazing camera and I still grab the 750 for low light and travel. But I have just added a Z50 to the mix specifically to use for travel and to keep in my everyday bag going back and forth to work. But I still will have a hard time parting with my D750!

The Z50 is getting very good reviews from what I can see, looks like a really nice camera 👍

[@murigius1]

Thanks, James, for the exact video on the D750 I've been looking for. My new D750 arrives tomorrow! and I've been doing some research (too late for that) or rather affirming that buying this camera was in fact the right decision. I sold my 12 year old Canon 5D2 and bought some nice Sony and Fujifilm mirrorless ones, but then wanted something more substantial, so, if half of what you've said about the Nikon D750 is true, I think I made the right decision. Keep up the great, informative videos! And, neat cat!

Ofc it is. Just got mine - a used piece with 1050SC, so almost new, for £690. Love this camera!

[@c.c4330]

Great video! I actually watched the entire thing which is rare for me as most youtubers don’t get to the point. I purchased my D750 in early 2015 and paid a fortune for it. I upgraded from a D7100 which I loved but decided to switch to FX. Still to date I love my D750, the grip is amazing and image quality, dynamic range and low light image quality is outstanding. Unfortunately It’s a little to bulky and heavy to travel with. For that I use a Fujifilm system but in all honesty, I miss traveling with it. To me, the D750 controls and ergonomics are a lot easier to use than my Fujifilm x-t2. I need to promise myself to start using it more on short trips.

[@photoartteacher903]

Odd, I find the 750 too small - wish it was more like the size of a d4 -better yet the size of an old hasselblad or mamiya rb

[@robarsenault7420]

Hi from Western Canada. I upgraded to D750 in 2018 from a Canon 7D. It was a great choice. The Nikon system is so easy to learn. I have 2 bodies now. I love them. Mirrorless seems to me to be still finding it's way in the market. If Nikon upgrades the Z6, I'll have a hard look. I really like the idea of using focus peaking. It would be a nice feature to have in the toolbox.

[@thecrazycelt5143]

You have no idea how much you just helped me! Thank you! I've been shooting with a d5500, and while I loved it, i have a landscape project I've wanted to do for 6 years. I knew i needed a full frame to get it done and after research, I decided on the d750. Of course I wanted a few more opinions and you just answered all that I needed to know to commit to the d750. Thank you so much. Great video! -The Crazy Celt

[@chrisnewfie]

Awesome review I might add. I own the d750 and I have been using it for the past 5 years on portraits only. This camera is a,axing for me where I do a lot of indoor photography and green screening. I would not part with this camera for a while yet. Liking this camera so much and wanting to do landscapes as well I decided to leave my d750 as my indoor camera and purchased a d7500 touch screen for landscapes. I feel now I have an awesome combination now. For ppl out there in the market for price value you can loose on either one of those cameras. Gotta love Nikon.

[@tmcalif]

I'm messed around with photography in the past and, wanting to get serious, decided on a full frame DSLR sensor. My hesitation with the D750 was its age - 6 years in the tech world is a lifetime and I wasn't sure about spending a lot for something that old. But time after time I read reviews that raved about how well it held up compared to more recent models. Long story short - I pulled the trigger on the D750 and am glad I did. Everything you say is right on - it just feels good when holding it. The features, the menu layout, the feedback during and after taking a pic - just a very well designed camera. And despite my lack of experience I'm thrilled with the photos it takes. My wife tries to compliment me, but every time my reply is that it's all the camera - the thing takes phenomenal pictures! Thank you for the review James!

[@ChiefNonsense]

Man, great timing on this video! The second I saw the new D780 announced I thought "time to brush up on the D750 as I can hopefully find one pretty cheap in the next few month." Great coverage. Thanks so much for taking the time to make it.

[@muratsahan8697]

Great review, naughty cat, but also great examples of pictures, the one from Myanmar was just WOW.

[@veronikagundersen9334]

I am not a pro, I am an enthusiast who mainly shoots landscapes. I have been shooting with the D7200 but just recently picked up the D750 for a really good price. It’s a great camera and it fits in with what I want out of a camera. I don’t care about video at all, I don’t ever shoot at 1/8000, and the low light capability is amazing compared to my old D7200. 24MPix is fine, even enlarged quite a bit, and all my computers are old and would choke editing the high res files from the D850 anyway. If I bought a Z6 it wouldn’t improve the quality of my photos, the sensor isn’t that much different, plus only one card slot, worse battery life, no AF with my D series glass (though I’d get focus peaking). Couple all of that with the fact that I’m not made of money, and I am absolutely fine with the D750.

[@JamesBrewphoto]

Great summary 👏

[@Douglas21450]

Veronika Gundersen Very smart.

[@i7rs]

My computer is exactly the reason, I want to get D750 for myself! 24 Megapixel is perfect size in my opinion! Plus D7200 and D750 is a perfect combo!

[@kreygscott]

Fantastic Video James. I’ve always been a strong advocate that higher megapixels in a same size sensor will always result in more noise when recovering shadow details. Coupled with the face that unless you’re printing extremely large/billboard prints 15-18 megapixels is more than enough. Thanks for sharing mate and all the best for 2020 and beyond. PS mirrorless technology is IMHO unfinished and unnecessary.

I had a similar disaster my D7200 also got washed away by a rogue wave I cried! but after seeing your video I decided to replace it with a full frame camera a D750 bought it second hand but like new amazing value. The controls and menus are almost identical to the D7200 so the learning curve was negligible. for anyone considering moving from cropped sensor to full frame this is perfect. Although bigger and heavier than the D7200 it fits beautifully in the hand. The image quality is lovely. The money I've saved on the camera I invested in better lens. Considered a D810 but could not justify the big hike in price. Thanks for the very informative video

[@erickwhite2568]

Thanks for the video, I am thinking of upgrading from a D200 in the near future and this video really sold the D750. I also am keeping an eye on the mirrorless cameras but someone entering the field, I don't have the cash to throw at new systems and like you said, I can find D750 houses for €700 euros. This with Nikon's ability to run all lenses is what keeps me with the brand.

[@j.c.m5168]

I love this review. Re: cropping.... I find that having a film background means that I tend to be more slow and meticulous about setup and composition to begin with. I try not to need to crop to begin with, so it seems like not being able to crop means just setting up compositions carefully to begin with. I'm looking into a D750 for low light, and a camera I'm ok with using to travel overseas.

I can testify to the D750 being bombproof. In the spring of this year, slippery mud around a loch, saw myself, D750 and Sigma 150-500mm lens plunge headlong into the muddy water. It was a total submersion incident. But worst of all, it was very smelly black, muck. Thought it was a write off as it was saturated. But to my pleasant surprise, after a thorough dry out and clean, which took the best part of a week, the old girl sprang back to life as good as new. I didn't fare so well, didn't even try cleaning my clothes..... I would have probably killed the washing machine 😀. Great video.

[@michaelbesant725]

This is a very good vid on the D750. I am still using a D3S & D800, and have been wanting to add a second/backup landscape body to go along with my D800, or to upgrade to turn my D800 into the second body. Like you my money is tight, so I have been on the fence for a while now trying to decide between the D810 & D750. I am torn at the moment because I think the sweet spot for landscape shooters who print is 36mp, but I do love the tilting screen which I would love to have on a camera. I was leaning towards the D810, but you have made me pause after watching this. Keep up the good work on your vids!

Great review on the D750, I just recently purchased one used, it's an amazing camera in 2020. I had a D800 previously but my Macbook Air couldn't keep up with editing the large raw files. The ISO performance of the D750 is really good up until at least ISO 8000, dynamic range seems to be the same as the D800. IMO if you can afford to purchase one in 2020 it's the best value full frame camera on the used market. Get the D610 to save money but the ergonomics aren't nearly as good.

Great video, James. As you said, too many people get caught up in the latest cameras, and while an argument can be made to upgrade to the latest if your current camera is preventing one from getting the shots you want, it may be better to spend the money on a lens you don't have, attend a workshop or even travel to a location you've never been to before. BTW, Misty is a very adorable kitten.

[@JamesBrewphoto]

Thank you! Very good point, I would always advocate on spending money on experiences rather than 'things' 👍

[@clintondavis3363]

Bought a D750 last year. All the positives you noted were the reasons. OMG - I’m not a pro, ... but this camera is good enough to do pro work. It’s perfect for travel, coupled with a smaller, capable camera. All I could want. Also, ... I’m invested in full frame “D” Nikon lenses, ... so that’s also the reason that it is the best value for me. By the time, I want to go the mirrorless route, I will have gotten so much more value out of the equipment I’ve purchased over the years. At some point, I’ll probably let go of all the lenses, tripods, etc. - and, I don’t even know if anybody would buy all that stuff. I’d probably simplify my photography considerably - but, ... I’m not “there” yet, ... and it makes sense to use all the glass I already invested in. Also, ... I still have a D80 that does a fine job for me as a back up camera. I just can’t afford to chase the latest technology - happy to get it after it is 3-5 years old. You have to understand what your goals are and keep perspective. It is very, very easy to fool yourself into thinking that you are being intelligent in your choices, .... but often you are lured by the technology lust.

Used D750 since 2016, bought new at a good discount. Just a point about buffering. If I’m taking multiple shots, either limit to ten shot bursts or run the shutter speed to match the frame file size. My message: work to your camera capabilities. Never had a problem. Otherwise, agree with all your observations.

Amazing video..one of the best I had every watched... thank a ton !!

[@rvbsoundfactory]

Good Video. I am so hung up on which Nikon to get. Would absolutely love to get a D5, almost sold on the D850, then that D500, and now the D750 for a 1grand. OMG. Not forgetting that reconditioned D4S...

[@JamesBrewphoto]

Thanks - good luck with your decision

[@sara_lsy_44]

Hey, l am a Taiwanese who is considering if I should buy this camera. Thank you for this video which gave me some good advice.

[@maxmillion4216]

First of all your James, your cat is so cute, miss mine. Secondly, great words of wisdom. I was and old Nikon user back in the old film days for many years. I switched to Canon back in 1999 and just upgraded to a new Canon 90D from the 80D. I hope your new year brings you much happiness and well being.😀

[@JamesBrewphoto]

Thanks Max - glad you like my little kitten. She is very sweet but a major handful at the moment 😂

[@CultureAgent]

So glad to hear you've got things sorted with the reluctant insurers. The Z Ecosystem is tempting on the weight side of things, buying new lenses not so much, although using manual for landscapes means vintage Nikon lenses come into play. Personally I'd get the D850 again, it's got the perfect amount of pixels, I reckon keeping up with file sizes will be a future money pit.

[@JamesBrewphoto]

Yeah I'm very glad that insurance saga is over. The d850 is tempting but I'm just going to wait for now to see if a clearer picture on future releases seems to materialise in coming months 👍

[@francoherrera1265]

I'm still using my D610 no problems or maintenance,I also have the d750 and I love it!

[@josephnevin]

So this is the kind of camera which is loved by all irrespective of what brand one prefers.

[@grahamellis1897]

Go Misti ! lovely cat and a great down to earth video,i,m buying a Nikon d750

[@alexchristodoulopoulos5644]

You're so right about everything. Thank you for sharing that video with us.

[@nb7524]

Hi! Thank you so much for making this video, it is exactly what I wanted to see. I enjoyed my D7200 and was waiting until I could upgrade to full frame. Even though the Nikon D780 was recently released, I purchased the D750 which is in route to me. I carefully considered which upgrade I wanted including the D810, another awesome camera. However, for ALL of the reasons you mentioned in the video, including the tilting screen, I purchased the Nikon D750. When asked why I did not go with Sony I stated the reason you mentioned in the video. Besides, I am pretty sure it actually has a Sony sensor. I told people I purchased a camera that combines Nikon technology with a Sony sensor, the best of both worlds for me. I have loved and wanted the D750 for a long time and it is now financially obtainable for me. While no longer the newest camera on the block, the price combined with superb features makes the D750 an outstanding choice. I also was tempted to follow the crowd towards mirrorless, but the D75O truly is still an amazing camera well worthy of consideration. You mentioned that you have done some of your best work in the last year; no one will look at your wonderful compositions and think they were done on a DSLR with 5 year old technology (which was the gold standard for years). Many photography masters created amazing art with far less than the D750. I chose to get the awesome D750 and still have money left over for the essential good glass needed for any full frame. The last benefit for me is all of the native and third party lens options available both new and especially used which is a huge financial bonus. Both my camera and lens will be here in 2 days and I am very excited. I am really grateful for your video; you further confirmed that I made the best and wisest choice for me! #D750StillRocks

[@hunterqueen4382]

i'll buy for d750 instead of sony. thanks for your comment.

[@JuanLopez-oz9kh]

I am still using the D610 for all my pro work, weddings and events and portraits. Agree, being thinking about getting one too.

[@paulm8157]

Happy New Year, James! Excellent and fair pros and cons of this camera based on your experience. Much the same can be said of other solid brands and models - upgrade treadmill not a good thing. Great IQ is largely enabled by high quality Nikon glass. Elephant in the room that you didn’t mention is that the 750 was subject to multiple recalls (serious shutter issues). If someone is thinking about buying a used copy they would be prudent to do their homework and check the SN to see if it was one of the recalled units - if it was, they would be wise to get credible documentation that repairs were made. BTW, didn’t think you were a “cat person” - expect the critter to appear in future posts.😸

[@JamesBrewphoto]

Cheers Paul and Happy New Year - yes that's a good point. Will only affect older second hand models but still something to be aware of. Haha I am definitely a cat person. She is very sweet but hard work. I would say there is a 100% likelihood of her appearing again as she follows me everywhere I go 😂

[@philbraithwaite1316]

Had mine since Jan 15, fantastic camera (despite the shutter recall, after which it's performed perfectly). Just before Christmas I dropped mine so it's currently away getting the stuck mirror fixed so I've had to fall back on my stand-by D700......I now have to work slightly harder! The only bugbear is the rubber eyecup I've lost about five genuine Nikon examples so I'm now on cheapo Chinese versions....I've only lost one of them!

[@lukemcgregor6969]

What a time to get a D750. Fully Pro, all around great camera. Mirrorless may indeed be the future, but I think the future ain't quite here yet.

[@DJFoucher]

Thanks for the info about the Nikon D750. I have used many different Nikons, however not this one yet, so look forward to putting the D750 to the test.

[@sctm81]

I just sold mine to get the D850 because I needed more cropability for wildlife. Still miss it sometimes at it gave me amazing photos. For the money it is nearly the best you can do right now. Clean, high dynamic range images.

[@Affixx]

Totally honest review, I like it! :)

[@sylwiaw537]

fantastic video! love the way you talk about the camera, very nice and professional video. and you also speak in a very enjoyable way, I must say. :) I photograph horses, instead of landscapes, but I am still looking to buying d750 even though it's 2020. I currently own the d7100, which is also a great camera in this budget, but I feel like the full frame is calling. thank you for this video, helped me a lot! wish you all the best, stay safe. :)

[@KwanTao69]

James, nice vid, very informative, thanks

[@cypherdk85]

Even to this day the sensor on the d750 is just amazing, it really produces beautiful images with good dynamic range.

[@adylmouheidine4879]

Thank you for making me love my Nikon D750 so much more than ever before.

[@robstammers7149]

Simple answer Yes. Even tho I'm a Canon user.

[@ilmatanela1816]

Honest review, liked and subscribed! I agree with your opinion about this camera, which I also consider a great value. As a hobbyist I have a budget oriented approach. I bought my D750 in 2015 and today it still produces amazing files. I rarely feel the need for more megapixels. My only complaints are the lack of 1/8000 sec, and the controls layout, which is quite better on my D700 (which also still rocks even with its only 12 mp resolution). But then of course it wouldn't have been so light and travel friendly. Being not into video stuff and having invested in F mount lenses I am not ready to spend 5/6 k euro (optimistically) for a mirrorless system which I actually don't think would improve the quality my photos.

[@paulconnors2078]

Well done throughout this video! BRAVO!

[@JamesBrewphoto]

Thanks Paul :-)

[@fotolookconde]

Thanks for the video. Very helpful! Maybe it will be my move to full frame...

[@Skinketern]

Thx for the video.. Ill get a d750 tommorow, my d800 just broke and was looking for a new

[@JohntheGerman]

I just happened to order my D750 today, so thanks for making me feel good about my decision. ;)
