WHY The Nikon D750 Is So Special For My Photography

[@adrianalfordphotography]

If you still own a Nikon D750, let me know in the comments below. Thanks for watching my video 🙏📸

[@wingsofaustralia]

I still have a D750 but don't use it nearly as much as I should. This vid just inspired me to go and get it out.

[@adrianalfordphotography]

Glad I could inspire you! Enjoy it.

Hello Adrian, After owning my first D750 since early 2017, I recently decided to buy another used D750 in Near Mint condition. I recently took one of the bodies with me to Vietnam for a tour of both Hanoi and the battlefield at Dien Bien Phu. The D750 and the Nikkor lenses I took with me allowed me to record the trip of a lifetime (I am a student of the Battle of Dien Bien Phu). This was is and always will be a great camera and I am glad I have two. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Paul Connors Randolph, New Jersey, USA

I own a D750 (purchased as a used camera in 2018), very happy with that camera, with no intention to ‘upgrade’, and a D700 (also a Nikon F - actually Ftn -from 1969!). It does all I need it for -and more (street and travel photography).

[@adrianalfordphotography]

It’s a great camera. You can’t go wrong with the D750. I hope you enjoy your travels with it!

[@timeaston2776]

A wonderful camera. I recently went to Yosemite NP here in the US with the D750, which I find lighter and easier to hand hold than the D850 when I am going to be on the move for the whole day. Always amazed at the exceptional images this old friend is able to produce.

[@delibaba_1923]

Hi, Thanks for keep bringing D750 back to the life! You are right no reason we can't use this beautiful camera in 2025. I bought mine just 7 months ago and loving it!

[@christophergray7982]

Patients is a word that gets lost in photography nowadays. I love my d750 and goes with me everywhere, even though I invested in the z mirrorless system. It is definitely rewarding to get the perfect image. Excellent content sir.

[@daveturney8125]

My first Nikon was the D750, brought in 2018, superb camera which i still have, i have the D810, D850 and D780 as well. Use them all regularly especially the D750 and 780....780 handles low light situations better but otherwise they are both great cameras...keeping up the good work Adrian 👌

[@kendall6030]

Picked up a D750 and the 80-400mm a few years back and thoroughly enjoy both. Just wish I had a back yard and especially one with the wildlife as you do. As always. Love your shots. Thank you for continuing to share your wealth of knowledge.

[@adrianalfordphotography]

I'm glad you're enjoying both the camera and the lens. It sounds like you've got a great setup.

[@BradPhoto24.7]

Hi Adrian, I bought my D750 second hand off eBay about 4 years ago, it’s a workhorse and still going strong. I don’t use it as much as I’ve got a D780, again second hand off eBay, as my main camera. The D750 is mostly used for timelapse’s now. I won’t be selling the D750, if it dies then I’ll proudly display it on a shelf at home. Cheers Brad.

[@adrianalfordphotography]

Cheers Brad - sounds like you’ve got a great combo for your photography.

[@JohnB-m1h]

Great video, I bought a used D750 and love it. I use it mostly for automotive, motorcycle sports and car shows. Iv`e been to Lime Rock shooting IMSA to Mid Ohio shooting Indy. It`s purely a hobby for me and I love the results. I have a Sigma 70 200 2.8 sports lens. A nice set up for me

[@patagone]

I just got a d750 second Hand as an Upgrade from a very old apsc Body and added two new (old) Glases for a very low Price. I love to have an optical viewfinder and the Camera just works very nicely. Keep on focussing 😉👍

[@adrianalfordphotography]

Very nice!

[@PhilThach]

That's one Nikon that I have never owned. Everyone I know who has one loves it. Thanks, Adrian!

[@adrianalfordphotography]

@@PhilThach thanks for watching Phil cheers 🍻

[@scotth5357]

I have had mine since 2015 and I do love manual setup shots.

[@adrianalfordphotography]

You can’t go wrong with the D750. It's great for manual shooting.

[@slimbirdy]

Such a great camera. Colours are beautiful, much like the D850. I especially like the video out of the D750 too, very cinematic.

[@adrianalfordphotography]

Thanks for watching and I appreciate the kind words about the colour. I agree!

[@frits1463]

I still own one. Love it. For street photography I mostly use a Leica Q3 or Fujifilm x100v but for portraits, studiowork and architecture I use the D750. I also had a D810 but I didn't like it.

[@adrianalfordphotography]

Thanks for sharing!

[@stoneyblack6905]

Fantastic camera. Well said mate! You don’t need the latest to achieve great results! Just look back in history!

[@adrianalfordphotography]

Very true!

[@user-JM1967]

DSLR forever!

[@LaughingLion4Ever]

Cameras made 10-15 years ago are still extremely capable. With the software available for post processing these days there should be no rush to go out and get the latest and greatest. If you[re happy with the output keep shooting.

[@adrianalfordphotography]

You’re absolutely right!

[@christian.irmler]

Hi Adrian, some true words, buddy! What we also shouldn't forget is that photography is art. And the approach is essential in art. It also contains the tools we use and so our cameras. Do modern cameras offer advantages? Yes, they do. But no one forces us to use them. I completely understand you sticking to your D750. You are happy with that camera, so why selling it? Thank you for the video and enjoy your Christmas weekend, Christian

[@adrianalfordphotography]

@@christian.irmler thanks so much for watching Christian. Hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas 🎄 🙏

Another great photography video Adrian and great to hear why you love your NikonD750. Want to wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and the great 2025

[@adrianalfordphotography]

Thanks so much for watching Shaun - have a fantastic Christmas mate 👍🙏

[@stephenroberts7828]

Nice vid and i totally agree having a camera that is engaging is a big part of the photo taking process for me and im guessing thats why film is becoming popular again

[@leod1671]

Adrian, great video. YOU ARE SO RIGHT! We all, myself included, get so wrapped up in gear talk and what the latest gadget is. Cameras do not make great pictures, that is a fact. You can still get great results even using a 6 MP camera. Like you said, it is understanding the negatives and exploiting the positives. Again, thank you and keep them coming!!

[@adrianalfordphotography]

@@leod1671 thanks so much for watching - have a fantastic weekend cheers 🍻 🙏

[@jholtphotography]

I bought a D750 earlier this year with less than 5k shutter count for around £650 paired it with a 24-70 f2.8 Today I bought a used 200-500 for £719 in near enough mint condition I love the d750 and it still holds it's own today I love bulky DSLRs so will save up for the D850 used next.

[@adrianalfordphotography]

Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts. Cheers and have a great weekend 🙏

[@leod1671]

I have the 200-500, you will love it!!

[@martyrickard3003]

I still own a D750. I think it's a great camera. I mainly use it for night photography now, but whenever I travel it always goes along with me.

[@adrianalfordphotography]

Thanks for watching! Glad to hear you still enjoy using it.

[@beholder2012]

Very sane approach, that can be recommended to everyone. OTOH all these people that have to have the „newest and latest” gear are very valuable people, because thanks to them we can buy at half of the price that still functional gear they don't like anymore! 😅

[@derekclark7545]

2017 brand new with battery grip, very easy to use camera, great RAW images full of contrast and I have learnt to just underexpose with it as you can pull so much detail out from the dark side. I use 20mm 1.8 AF-S, 35mm 1.4 Tamron SP, 45mm 1.8 Tamron SP, 85mm 1.8 AF-S, 150mm 2.8 Irix macro MF. 70 to 200mm 2.8 Sigma EX DG OS HSM II. Purchased a Z6II with FTZii and battery grip, Battery grips due to Arthritis in wrists, the 45mm Tamron had to have a factory upgrade to work with the Z6ii and FTZ. I cover all sorts of photography and love all my kit, Four Nikon flash units 2, 600, 1, 700, and 1, 900. The new, when it arrives Viltrox 135mm 1.8 LAB lens might find its way into my kit.

[@luclefebvre436]

Have a D750 bought new. Love it, my most reliable camera. Can’t see any reason to replace it.

[@v8soarer1991]

I'm glad you have the same shooting problems as I do with my d500. Still want a d850 to go with my d500. But it's criminal resellers want for them.

I bought my D750 from B&H Photo in 2018. Came with free grip. I like that it works with older AF-D lenses.

Excellent video on an excellent camera

I bought my D750 in 2014 and it is still my main camera. I like to shoot manually and tweak the settings for optimal results.

[@adrianalfordphotography]

Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts.

[@Kayahdog]

My first digital camera was the d750 and it has been great for landscape, Astro and wildlife life elk, bison and wild horses that move more slowly than birds. As such, while I did upgrade to the d850 several years ago, I still use it at times when weight and size are a factor or I take it on overnight kayak trips. No consideration in selling it, as it’s too good to give it away at the money you’ll receive, and it functions well as a second camera.

[@adrianalfordphotography]

It’s amazing what the D750 can still do!

[@lightsandtones]

I went so far with not upgrading then I downgraded recently. You can welcome me in "Team Nikon" now with a Z7 and a Z fc. :) I switched from Sony as I realized for what I do I didn't need their superb AF. I have to add the little Z fc stole my heart right away... :) The change saved me enough money to take me to Scotland again. You probably don't remember but you commented on one of my Scottish video long ago and basically I'm following you since that day. :)

[@adrianalfordphotography]

@@lightsandtones many thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts 👍🙏

[@tonyhayes9827]

Same with the D850. I bought a Z6ii for IBIS and lens adaptability, and what I didn't realize at the time, just how good it is to be able to focus on the whole screen, otherwise......

[@Snapshott1]

I've owned the D750 since it's 1st production year. I bought and used it for years as a concert photographer and have always been happy with it. I ude a D500 for nature and wildlife photography. The only thing I've not been happy with the the D750 is the auto focus are uses much less of the viewfinder. It's not a problem for concert photograpgy but made wildlife photography more challenging. I did just pick up the Z6iii mostly because I want to shoot wildlife video and feel Nikon DSLRs video capabilities aren't that great. I will also like the better auto focus the the Z6iii. Still I won't be getting rid of my D750 anytime soon.

[@adrianalfordphotography]

It sounds like you've got a great set up. Glad you've been happy with the camera for so long.

Hi Adrian really like your videos, question is it better keeping the battery out when not using for a month or longer..? Thanks keep on with your great videos. I have 2 of the d750. And collecting many more. Thanks...

[@adrianalfordphotography]

Probably best to leave battery out if not using for long periods.

[@veronikagundersen9334]

I sold mine a number of years ago. I missed it so much that I re-bought it a few months ago.

[@adrianalfordphotography]

I get a lot of reports from people telling me that. I do love the files for editing in stills, very unique quality 🙏

[@ison5622]

I just asked myself the question is my camera doing what i need it to do, and the answer is my D850 arguably the greatest DSLR ever to grace gods green earth is YES, even though technically you have to be on your game to get a sharp image with that high a resolution, was much easier on a smaller 24 mp sensor, when you know what you're doing nothing beats the image from a D850 .. nothing, nice video, some great images :)

[@markymark3572]

My D750 is still my camera of choice, having got an immaculate, barely used one off eBay in 2018. It just does every i need. The AF is fast, the colours are excellent, so upgrading now seems pointless.

[@Mersuharrastaja]

I do not own yet but seriuosly thinking buy second hand to my second camera.

[@tanishaw8628]

Thank you for this video! I have an older Nikon D5600 with a used Tamrom 18-400mm lens. I love taking pictures on vacation. I will going to Africa in a few months and am thinking about getting a second camera to take with me. I was looking as some used D750's. Your review was very helpful. I'm not a professional photographer. I just like taking pictures. So I don't need the latest and greatest camera. But I do want to have absolutely everything that I need to take amazing pictures in Africa and backup. What lens would you recommend if I go with the D750 as my second camera? I was thinking about one of the Tamron 150-600mm if it's compatible with the D750

[@adrianalfordphotography]

I did a review on that Tamron 150-600mm G2 lens - hope it helps - kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGfFhJWgg9qIfa8

[@TooFarWest1]

I love my D750 and will probably buy another one brand new. The D750 is much easier to use overall and I have about thirty Nikkor F-Mount lenses I refuse to part with. The image quality is great, and I never shoot video...ever.
