Nikon D750 Real World Review

[@albertocabrera6614]

I sold my D610 and got the D750. It was worth the switch. Get the D750 and the 50mm 1.8. You will not regret it.

[@Twitter_Posts]

S Tra On your camera, so you can regret your regret

[@alexrydin]

I “only” have a d700 but I LOVE my 50mm 1.8.

[@theofficialpablo1]

@S Tra your parents

[@theofficialpablo1]

@S Tra leave teddy alone

[@artistandcamera3245]

what's the biggest difference between the D750 and D610? I currently have a D610 and am looking to get a second body.

[@MrJacobHutchins]

I am loving the new video work you guys are doing across all your content, it has really stepped up compared to your older videos... it looks so professional!!

[@turnerhunt9122]

Jared I've been watching your videos since I started photography and I have to say this is one you best videos. Thanks for the commitment to your videos and keeping us entertained and educated on new products!

[@therealBOSKI]

You guys have killed these last few reviews. Keep it up!

[@GoofyGear]

Great job Jared! I really like that you put a lot of effort in making these kinds of videos!

[@snuffysims]

Many thanks for possibly the best camera review I have ever seen. Since I started in the days of the black & white darkroom I have seen a few:) You took the d750 through a difficult real world situation which really showed what the camera was capable of...both still & video. Then you provided the raw files for us to decide on them instead of wondering what the reviewers opinion really meant. Thank you very much for a review that actually answered all of my questions about this camera. I see one in my future :) Snuffy

[@scallen3841]

Snuffy Sims a real world test would be to also do sports in all manual ,

[@chrisfisher1625]

Love your videos. Always go straight to you when I want a good review for something

[@definitelynotofficial7350]

You made a good review on the D810. Now you made an even better for the D750.

[@definitelynotofficial7350]

Only the environment wasn't as interesting in my opinion.

[@blaisemartin3166]

Thank you for the awesome review! I bought my D750 10 days ago and even though I read many "low level short reviews" before and after my purchase yours hands down was the best. I have migrated from, not counting my Nikon film cameras, a D40 to a D90 to a D7100 and I finally made the leap to full frame, and the D750 was the right way to go. For me, there was too much controversy around the D600 and D610. I AM GLAD THAT I WAITED!!!!!

[@froknowsphoto]

thanks man!!!

[@voiceonearts]

This review just saved me from what I now know to have possibly been a big waste of an upgrade haha, turns out this was exactly the type of camera I was needing for my focus and profession I've been really getting immersed in. Feel obliged to throw down a comment. Love the efficient editing and the straight to the point conduct of the whole bit. Easy to keep watching through the end and I now know exactly what I need to do in order to get my work to where I want it to be. Thank you.

[@exploringsoutheastarizona2167]

Hi Jared, enjoy watching your camera reviews. After watching this one, seriously considering getting a D750( for video(for channel) & stills). Love Nikon for great low light capabilities. Have 2 Nikon D300's use them for capturing lightning during monsoon season here in SE AZ. Thank you for sharing.

[@funniq]

Kick ass video / review ... Love your real world tests, Jared. Thanks for sharing with us ...

[@MrHookee]

Thanks. It was great to be able to come back to this review after using the d750 for 6 months. You had great feedback and I can confirm I agree with all of it. Especially the backlight buttons.

[@farouk6564]

I use the tilt screen for stills especially for long exposures when the camera is mounted on a tripod and down low for wide angle shots, very convenient. Great review Jared well done!

[@movax20h]

Phenomenal noise performance at high ISO. Probably still the best camera 4 year later.

[@NOKOT51]

movax20h I bought the a7iii and the image quality and skin tones are nowhere near the 4 year old D750, I returned the a7iii and got the d750 w nicer glass, plus the feel of it in the hands is just far superior than that of the Sony or any mirror less in that aspect

[@ANSWERTHECALLOFJESUSCHRIST]

@@NOKOT51 Great to know. Although I dislike Sony colors, I was so tempted by the α7 III when it came out, but decided to wait for any interesting deals later on. THANK GOD I waited all these months. Nikon discounted the D750, and B&H currently has a deal with the D750, Nikon battery grip, SD card, additional battery and a bag for $1396.95. I could not resist. That's just under $200 more than what I spent on my Nikon D70 back in 2005 with an 28-80mm and a 70-300mm.

[@NOKOT51]

SOC 7 yeah definitely, wait it off.. Sony hasn’t matured just yet. I almost gave into the hype, but then again glass glass glass is key.. cheers

[@ANSWERTHECALLOFJESUSCHRIST]

@@NOKOT51Yup. Thanks! God bless!

[@andrescarrasco1248]

I know this camera is great, but come on is anyone still complaining about Sony's color? Sony A7 iii is just the best camera on the planet

[@guylstephenson]

I have the D750 but have never tried shooting video with it. Now at this point I wish it recorded at 4K or better yet 8K, but I can't deny the video you shot looks fantastic. I feel more confident about using it for some video recording. Fabulous review, great information. Thank you Jared! You rock.

[@caballeroPL]

You've really upped the quality of your videos Jared. Very good content.

[@ManamVideoPhoto]

how is the focus for the Video, looks like it was stable on Focus, is the Lens set to M or M/A?

[@D45Z]

Another great real world review, Jared. Keep up the good work!

[@AGag47]

"flip lcd unless you're shooting photos above your head". This is why you can't rely on reviewers. If you shoot anything low to the ground like newborn, pets or macros of flowers, the lcd is a godsend. Also when I shoot weddings, I like to get a shot of the couple from ground level with the church ceilings in a wide composition.

[@mikesmith2507]

Thank you Jared! The D750 looks to be the one camera that will replace my D7000. I was considering the D810, but the extra $1000 price for the 36MP sensor is too expensive.

[@kavirl0390]

I have a d7000 as well and I'm thinking to upgrade to the d750 now how has your experience with the d750 been?

[@stuartwatson3648]

Great work with the review, the lighting for the video was fantastic.

[@AdilAlsuhaim]

Personally, I think the articulating LCD is very helpful when shooting macro photos. Specially if an insect is climbing on a wall, or so low on the ground. Plus, I don't want to pump my lens into things like trees or the floor. This something I wish my Canon 6D had!

[@lilfilipinogurl]

Thank you so much for explaining it in detail, and I'm a show and visual kind of person. So, I'm really glad that you explain how the features would be beneficial for.

[@MNZGamin]

Felt like I was at the ball game with my dad. Thank you for this great review, sir

[@PauloRibeiro9797]

Damn it! You convinced me to buy the D750. I have a D7200 and was "swinging" between buying the D7500 or join the team of full frames. And, in the field of FX, which one? I was afraid of such issue of flare in some situations and was waking up in the middle of the night with nightmares. Watching your videos about D750, I hit the hammer and I'll buy it on my trip to Orlando in September. Thanks for the full report. Regards.

[@dedyandrianto]

Hey Jared, I found that my D750 has a little bit of delay when I press the menu or playback button. Actually anything that has to do with waking up the LCD sometime has this 3 second delay before it shows anything on the screen. Do you have that problem too?

[@R2StudioMasterclass]

3 things I want to see in this, 1) The top CASIO type display has got smaller (When compared to D7000, D7100 & D7200) and I really miss seeing the detail in what i'm shooting at, Whether JPG, RAW or RAW + JPG. Because I switch the modes depending the situation so i have to now press the info button to see what I have selected currently. 2) I feel that the front grip is not fat enough, its great that they have increased the depth of the grip but I would like it would have been little bit fatter than what is right now. 3) Lastly I love the fact that movie record button can be changed to ISO change option, however I really don't like the fact that every time I press dual purpose button like ISO or WB the info display turns on, Specially when changing ISO which your certainly do almost all the time. Because when I'm looking through the view finder & change the ISO all of a sudden I can see the screen lit up. Wish there is a way to turn that off. Other than that, all I can say is WOW WOW WOW WOW!!! This camera just blows my pants away. The problem is when you have such a awesome, brilliant, spectacular, incredible, cool camera your expectations rise up more than it should be, therefore these minor details kinda get in your nerves. But its something I can live with, but without the D750 now I don't think I can live :)

[@paulhills1967]

Good review Jared & Stephen - thank you.

[@RobertMartinezPhoto]

Great review Jared Polin have you checked your D750 for the internal reflection issue? Mine has that issue on most of the lenses I tested on.

[@tptrsn]

Phenomenal video Jared! I'm sorry if I missed it, did you say what ISO you shot the video of the football game in? All of the video in this piece looked amazing, I'm really thinking about adding this to my arsenal. It looks like it hangs well with the GH4 for video, and maybe a lot better in low light... Plus the stills with great glass must be amazing in full rez too.

[@GranatyWdrodze]

Thanks for the review. Great job! I have D700, old guy, and now want to change and still considering between D750 and D810.

[@delilahranae1177]

Really enjoying your videos, man. Trying to figure out what camera to buy to get started. Thinking the 750 will do the job. 🙋🏼📷

[@AnontheGOAT]

I think the tight grouping of the AF points explains it's superb auto-focusing. My hunch is that by doing so, they made the entire system more sensitive.

[@timurborn]

Thanks for the review! One question: Wouldn't using crop modes decrease file sizes and thus offer longer buffer times? You'll still be at 6.5 fps, but the buffer would go longer before it's full.

[@SeeMeBeSeen]

Jared, outstanding review. Your tone in this one the perfect combination of animated and serious/informational. Thanks.

[@froknowsphoto]

SeeMeBeSeen thank you.

[@MrAlligam]

Thanks Jared, great review. While football is hard, lacrosse is harder -- the game moves much faster and the focus of action can move from one side of the field to the other in no time. Thanks to this review I know have a new target for getting out of DX.

[@MrJcasilva]

As always an excellent demonstration! Maybe it will my next camera!

[@Retired822]

Thanks for the great review. I've been looking at the d750 as a step up to full frrane from the d3200

[@snowskier4life]

Thank you for this thorough video, Jared. Although I don't have the cash to use or own this equipment, I can apply the concepts on my DSLR for photo and video. Keep doing what you're doing!

[@boxhawk5070]

That football team must have felt like they were in the big leagues with all that attention. Another great video Fro!

[@EnzoMaisanoTELLTHESTORY]

Absolutely brilliant video. Comprehensive and really clear. Thanks for taking the time Jared. I am tempted to sell my D800 for one of these. I need the 1080p 60fps for video as I do more video than stills.

[@beavertown2006]

Loved the licking test. Thanks for the brilliant review!

[@MattisProbably]

To get the AF points more spread out in the viewfinder you need a bigger module and bigger secondary mirror. That would make the whole system MUCH more expensive and I am not even sure if that would fit into a Nikon body. So they really aren't spread out more on the DX cameras like my D7000. They just cover more of the sensor because it is smaller than a FX sensor and the viewfinder pretty much represents what the sensor sees. But anyway! Great review! I really like the that this camera fits in. It's "better than a D610, but not quite a D810".

[@formattester6]

great review, very informative so far I'm only half way thru. how is AF in video mode? there is touch on the LCD? really wondering how face detection works in video mode. i know it wouldn't make much sense in the video with so many faces and obstruction of helmets and all but wondering in general does face detection keep up with a face like the 70D does? thanks!!

[@amentet]

Jared, the screen is awesome for macro as well ;) I used that feature in sony cameras and I missed that in nikons.

[@vargas8184]

I think the D750 is still the King of street photography in this day of 2020, I've passed up buying the D850 or mirrorless cameras because my D750 is still in great shape, although recently the Canon eon R5 caught my attention looks like ill be upgrading to that these holidays but it doesn't mean ill be giving up my D750. I only shoot 50mm and 85mm in street and been the best fun.

[@vineeta31068]

Awesome review Jared. I am a hobbyist and currently use a Nikon D5100 camera. It's OK but need to get more creative with bokeh and event photography. A full frame is probably the way to go since majority of good lenses are for full frame cameras. The D750 is definitely something I would consider. Cheers from down under (Australia).

[@bokeflo]

Thanks Jared, sound like the Nikon D750 might just be the Nikon I've been waiting to get next.

[@MultiTjalfe]

The focuspoints are squised into middle because it is meant for later cropping in indesign when layouting a ex. Newspaper page. I know the frustrations of not being able to get into the edge. Good thing there is always manual focus which neatly is put on a turning switch on front left side facing the back of the camera your self. Besides that you can put ae-lock as af-on and turn camera to the side so you can get it out of focuspoint range. Third solution shoot dx-crop. The points fit in nicely there and the many pixels allow a nice cropping too.

[@reneefariasphoto40]

Though I have upgraded to Z9 and S Line glass, I still use the D750 often. Truly a game changer from 7 years ago and still very relevant and great price.

[@alexanderlopez6705]

great review....now the question is should I get the D750 or the upcoming D500?

[@Nick_Parau]

seems that the problem of D750 apears here as well at 7:20, flare from the metal frame of the af focus sensor that is in the bottom part of the mirror box.

[@gcbriney723]

In my opinion, your best review that I have seen to date. This is possibly because of the real world setting and subject. Would really like to see what the 810 would do at a high school football game at night, then compare the two to help decide between the two cameras. Looking to finally upgrade from my trusty D700.

[@jasont2610]

+jared polin - the flip out LCD is really handy for high angle work on a tripod. E.g. Shooting detail/abstracts on tall buildings. Also good for low work on a tripod. I've used it for both with manual focus and live view to punch in to refine the focus. (The low work was not my d750 buy my em5 , but same idea)

[@AngelusFromHell]

Hi Jared. If you had to decide to buy a new equipment, would you go for a Nikon D750 or a Sony A7 III?

[@Eddie87Grant]

Great informative review I appreciate that. A great camera weddings.. kudos to Nikon!!!

[@dopecutza]

Great review and informative!

[@katievandyck2270]

Absolutely brilliant video. So grateful.

[@MonanzaFTW]

Thanks for the image samples. This will definitely help me make a buying decision and whether I should switch to FX.

[@MrLPguitar]

Hi Jared,I'm thinking of swapping my D3s for one of these,do you think this would be a good move ? I photograph a bit of everything,no sports but the occasional gig though.

[@lebkocucka]

Very nice review. I am looking forward for comparison of D610, D750 and D810. Can you split the final summary of these three cameras for videographers and for photographers? I would like to upgrade to FX and I am thinking about D610 or D750 + Tamron 24-70mm 2.8 VC. I am not sure if it's just me but I am taking video very rarely so video features are not so important for me in overall comparison.

[@andrewreynolds1217]

Shooting football with any equipment is fun, but this video has given me some things to think about as I look at replacing my D60. Thanks!

[@dmac5x1]

Another great review! Looks like a D750 is in my future.

[@crystalchai5388]

Thanks for the review. Getting one this week (:

[@Cigar65]

Taking the time to do your research and mostly, watch these hands on reviews from the pro's is the best thing anyone can do before putting down a big chunk of change for a camera, or anything for that matter.

[@AZTEC_ARTS2023]

Hi Jared ... Nice review ! Question: What would you recommend, in terms of ring flash/led lights for VIDEO, on a D600 or D810 ...

[@thegarethify]

Jared, as you've used both and they're both pretty similarly specced out. How does this compare to the 5dmiii? From a photography stance.

[@sanketss84]

Thanks for this amazing review :)

[@froknowsphoto]

Sanket Sonavane you're welcome.

[@technologylover9183]

Too bad you didn't grab a cute cheerleader for some portraits with a lens we are more likely to own. :)

[@0V3CHKiN]

Does the additional vertical grip increase the D750's FPS speed like the D700's grip?

[@JoshuaMineo]

very interesting video! I just want to buy this camera !! Can I ask What are the objectives have you used in the video? and that you have the camera mounted in the SLR?

[@aronisink1]

Great review....eoshd ranked the video for being the most capable dslr right now....glad to see nikon stepping up video...

[@alexisrosablanca6107]

Hey Jared great review! I wish you would had edited the raw pictures of the d810 and d750 in a video. Just wishful thinking! I just bought a I shoot raw shirt! Yeah!

[@susanbrownmatsumoto469]

Hey Jared! I have a Nikon D700 which is six years old but still working well. I need another camera for events and action photography so have been saving up for the D4s. What are your thoughts about a second lens for me. The D750 looks good but I also know the D4s is outstanding. I am doing wild horse photography so looking for more of an action camera. Plus event photography I can't switch between zoom and wide angle lens so I need two camera bodies.Thanks for any help.

[@PC-Addicts]

Hey Jared. Great info. I have been using my new D750 for about a month now and love it. I'm still learning and have a question about "-3 EV". I think you mentioned you shot everything at this game in "manual" mode but then you mentioned the -3 EV worked well with autofocus. Doesn't the exposure compensation only come into play when in one of the auto modes vs manual modes? Hope the question makes sense... Thanks in advance for the information and education!

[@raptor2285]

He means the auto focus points are sensitive to -3ev which basically means you can grab focus when it's really dark. This thing focuses in lower light than the D4S and D810!

[@cosmicoyster9622]

I still don't get EV. When you adjust it does the camera change the shutter speed, aperture and iso?

[@tjongtjong210]

Max Hartzenberg It's a way to measure darkness/amount of light in general.

[@1784leeroy]

What do you use to shoot the actual video? Love your vids

[@ravennexusmh]

the AF points being squashed is due to them using the same cam3500 module for DX and FX cameras, so while it's nicely spread out in DX camera, there will be all squashed in the middle on FX< they really need to develop FX specific CAM modules.

[@TheHeartofDesolation]

hey, in this vid you shoot with VR on despite shooting at 1/1000 (faster actually). I've heard and found the VR can actually make shots more blury when shooting at high shutter speeds. What has been your experience?

[@iTrumpet2014]

I do portrait photography and weddings but also do sports photography in the fall. I was between the D500 & D750... I have enough to buy a 750 but should I keep saving to get the d500 to be safe for sports or will the 750 be good enough? I'm leaning towards the d500 though because of the AF points, the buffer and because the technology is more recent than the 750 but I like the 750's depth of field and I feel it's better for portrait photography and weddings but not sure which route to go. Wish I could afford both.

[@morbly]

I'd use the flip out screen for shooting close to the ground macros like small flowers or insects. The problems I've had without a flip out screen include laying in mud, a sore neck, and camera shake. I think this camera looks great BTW, thanks for the review!

[@dakoolguy111]

Does the d750 still only give compressed raw files? Is there an uncompressed solution now?

[@danieldaneshforouz1394]

Great review! Very well done.

[@tonyharris6603]

I agree that the d750 seems to be an awesome piece of equipment (with the right glass). In regards to the tilt screen, I find it very beneficial seeing as I'm not '6"4 for high shots or '4"2 for low shots. The stigma of "if a professional does it then the world is in balance" is bologna (not being negative, don't get me wrong). This my first time checking out the Fro Dude (Jared) and I appreciate his feedback.

[@AmmarTechnology]

Thanks Jared for this amazing review. The Nikon D750 great camera, for me it is the best all around Nikon DSLR.

[@simianinc]

Hey Jared, do you review Canon? Love to see your opinion of the 7D Mark II - especially since it's marketed as a Sports Camera, which would be ideal for a football game

[@urexpressionsphotography1082]

I have the Nikon 7100 and thinking up grading to the Nikon 750 after looking at your review. I have a 35 mm and 50 mm prime lenses. My question is which prime lens do you suggest for the D750? I do shoot weddings, landscapes, and some sports. Thanks in advance

[@MrBluvenom]

I would love to see a review of those big telephotos. The existing reviews are super lame compared to the in depth and honest review that I know you would give!!

[@nicolelove54321]

Jared this is your best photo shoot every.

[@sisekelokhuzwayo384]

These images still look amazing 7 years later. 👌🏾

[@TheIMightyL]

Just a quick question. I shoot motorcycles and fast motion. Im doubting between a D750 and a used D4.. AF is very important and with the new group AF on the D750, would that give it the edge?

[@thomasgerber2555]

Hi Fro, I wish you could make a video about shooting video with the d750 and the focussing modes and focussing techniques to use. I'm still struggeling with that... Thanks! Thomas

[@Shotbyfana]

when you was shooting those nice stills motion pictures on what settings did you shoot them at? AFS AFC AFA ? AND at which servo square you set it too ? ive been trying to figure it out but pictutes come out blurry i need help

[@BengomesPhotography]

Tilty Screens are important also for photos in my opinion. My photo that ended up being featured on the official flickr blog was possible because i was able to frame it correctly by using the tilty screen on my 70D. Otherwise i wouldnt have been able to come up with the shot. It's just unfortunate that Canon hasn't come up with a full frame body with that kind of a screen yet. But if they do, I will definitelly go for it.

[@vteconly]

The angled screen is also good for photos at low angles, IF you do manual focus. I do this all the time on my gh4 + Nikon glass, of course the gh4 has focus peaking to assist manual focusing.

[@mahmoudabdulhalim6247]

hi Jared Polin really a good review man... as u tested the new nikon d750 what do u think if u compare it to the d810 in the low light performance is it better than d810.. Because i want to upgrade from the dx to the fx but i can not chose between the d810 or d750.. as apro which one is better in iso..note that i am interested in widding photography. thx man

[@sweetmamaphotography4513]

Hi, Thanks for all the great videos! I was wondering whether you could help me. I want to use my D750 for video coverage,however, the batteries drain very quickly even when using a grip for additional usage. Any suggestions?

[@AndyLSB]

how does he get does dynamic colors in the photos ? is it because of shooting in raw format or is it post prossesing in the computer or what ?

[@bangarillo]

Hey +Jared Polin would you recommend any of the kit lenses that the 750 comes with or no? 24-85 or 24-120

[@85ashkaran]

Thanks Bro! Finally, lot of thinking and your review helped me to buy a Nikon D750 pairing with a tamron 24-70 f2.8 VC, which is also a good piece of glass. Both are bang for a buck.

[@pnarijauskas]

Sorry, but I have question not about camera, but about mic sister that you use for you video, witch I like. Could you tell what mic system you use? Thanks (for review, too ;)
